Engine data recording
This model’s ECM stores certain engine data
to assist in the diagnosis of malfunctions and
for research, statistical analysis and develop-
ment purposes.
Although the sensors and recorded data will
vary by model, the main data points are:
Engine status and engine performance
data
This data will be uploaded only when a spe-
cial Yamaha diagnostic tool is attached to the
engine, such as when maintenance checks or
service procedures are performed.
Yamaha will not disclose this data to a third
party except in the following cases. In addi-
tion, Yamaha may provide engine data to a
contractor in order to outsource services re-
lated to the handling of the engine data. Even
in this case, Yamaha will require the contrac-
tor to properly handle the engine data we
provided and Yamaha will appropriately
manage the data.
With the consent of the boat owner
Where obligated by law
For use by Yamaha in litigation
For general Yamaha-conducted research
purposes when the data is not related to an
individual engine or owner

Safety information
The safe use and operation of this boat is
dependent upon the use of proper operat-
ing techniques, as well as upon the com-
mon sense, good judgment, and expertise
of the operator. Every operator should
know the following requirements before
operating the boat.
Before operating the boat, read the own-
er’s/operator’s manual, the Operation In-
struction card, and all labels on the boat.
These materials should give you an under-
standing of the boat and its operation.
Never allow anyone to operate this boat
until they too have read this owner’s/oper-
ator’s manual, the Operation Instruction
card, and all labels.
Limitations on who may
operate the boat
Yamaha recommends a minimum operator
age of 16 years old.
Adults must supervise use by minors.
Know the operator age and training re-
quirements for your state. A boating safety
course is recommended and may be re-
quired in your state. You can find local rules
by contacting the United States Coast
Guard (USCG), the National Association of
State Boating Law Administrators, or your
local Power Squadron.
This boat is designed to carry the operator,
up to 9 passengers, and cargo. Never ex-
ceed the maximum load limit or allow more
than 10 persons (or 9 persons if the wake-
boarder or water-skier is being pulled) to
ride in the boat at any time. Weight distri-
bution affects performance. Keep weight in
the boat low and evenly distributed from
side-to-side and bow-to-stern. Remove
any unnecessary cargo and store it on
shore.
Maximum load:
Total weight of cargo, operator, and
passengers:
1021 kg (2250 lb)
Total weight of operator and passen-
gers:
844 kg (1860 lb)

Cruising limitations
Scan constantly for people, objects, and
other watercraft. Be alert for conditions
that limit your visibility or block your vision
of others.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance from people, objects,
and other watercraft.
Do not follow directly behind other water-
craft.
Do not go near others to spray or splash
them with water.
Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or un-
derstand where you are going.
Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, boats do not have brakes.
Do not pull the remote control lever back to
idle when trying to steer away from ob-
jects—you need throttle to steer. Always
check throttle, shift, and steering controls
for proper operation before starting boat.
Operate within your limits and avoid ag-
gressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of
loss of control, ejection, and collision.
This is a high-performance boat—not a toy.
Sharp turns or jumping wakes or waves
can increase the risk of back/spinal injury
(paralysis), facial injuries, and broken legs,
ankles, and other bones. Do not jump
wakes or waves.
Do not operate the boat in rough water,
bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this
may lead to an accident causing injury or
death. Be alert to the possibility of adverse
weather. Take note of weather forecasts
and the prevailing weather conditions be-
fore setting out in your boat.
Never operate in water that is less than
90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the
boat, otherwise you increase your chance
of hitting a submerged object, which could
result in injury.
Leave a “float plan” with a responsible per-
son on shore. Tell where you plan to go and
when you plan to arrive, and provide a de-
scription of your boat. Advise this person if
your plans change and also when you ar-
rive to prevent false alarms. A sample float
plan is included on page 134.
Follow navigation rules and state and local
laws that apply to your boat.

Operational requirements
The operator and all passengers must wear
a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved per-
sonal flotation device (PFD).
1PFD
Eye protection is recommended to keep
wind, water, and glare from the sun out of
your eyes while you operate your boat. Re-
straining straps for eyewear are made
which are designed to float should your
eyewear fall in the water.
Never operate the boat after consuming al-
cohol or taking drugs.
For reasons of safety and proper care of
the boat, always perform the pre-operation
checks listed on page 85 before operating
the boat.
Passengers must always sit in a designat-
ed seating area, place feet on the deck,
and hold on to the handgrips when the
boat is in motion.
Always consult your doctor on whether it is
safe for you to ride in this boat if you are
pregnant or in poor health.
Do not attempt to modify this boat.
Modifications to your boat may reduce
safety and reliability, and render the boat
unsafe or illegal to use.
Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to
the PFD and keep it free from the steering
wheel or other controls so that the engine
stops if the operator accidentally leaves the
helm. Failure to attach the engine shut-off
cord (lanyard) could result in a runaway
boat if the operator is ejected.
After operation, remove the engine shut-off
cord (lanyard) and the main switch key to
avoid accidental starting or unauthorized
use by children or others.
1Engine shut-off switch
2Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
Scan constantly for swimmers and stay
away from swimming areas. Swimmers are
hard to see and you could accidentally hit
someone in the water.
Avoid being hit by another boat. You
should always take responsibility to watch
for traffic; other boaters may not be watch-
ing for you. If they do not see you, or you
maneuver more quickly than other boaters
expect, you risk a collision.
Maintain a safe distance from other boats
and watercraft, and also watch for ski
ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Rules of
the road”, and be sure to check behind you
before making a turn. (See “Rules of the
road” on page 17.)

Required equipment
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has regula-
tions which describe minimum standards of
safety. You must comply with these regula-
tions, which apply to boats like your boat
which are less than 26 feet long.
Personal flotation devices (PFD):
Type I, II, or III as required for all people on
board (see “Operational requirements” for
more information), plus at least one Type IV
(throwable type).
Fire extinguisher:
At least one 5-B (B-1) type hand-held por-
table fire extinguisher.
Visual distress signals:
It is recommended that a USCG-approved
day/night pyrotechnic device be stored on
your boat. A mirror can also be used as an
emergency signal. Contact your Yamaha
Boat Dealer or the Coast Guard for more
information.
Sound signalling device:
Your boat is equipped with a horn that can
be used to signal other boats. See “Rules
of the road” for more information.
Navigation lights:
Your boat is equipped with navigation
lights for use between sunset and sunrise,
and during periods of reduced visibility,
such as fog. Be sure these lights are work-
ing and are turned on when necessary.
(See pages 51 and 68 for more informa-
tion.)
Additional equipment
recommendations
The following equipment can help make your
boating experience safer and more enjoy-
able:
Mooring fenders and lines.
Anchor with suitable line (a “Danforth” type
anchor and line that is at least 6 times the
depth of the water where you will drop an-
chor are recommended).
Manual-type bilge pump.
First-aid kit.
Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.
Tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pliers,
wrenches (including metric sizes), and
electrical tape.
Oar or paddle (look for one with a boat
hook on the other end).
Spare parts, such as fuses.
Navigation charts for the waters where you
will be boating.
Tow-rope.
