Safety information
EMU33622
Outboard motor safety
Observe these precautions at all times.
EMU36501
Propeller
People can be injured or killed if they come
in contact with the propeller. The propeller
can keep moving even when the motor is in
neutral, and sharp edges of the propeller can
cut even when stationary.
●
Stop the engine when a person is in the
water near you.
● Keep people out of reach of the propeller,
even when the engine is off.
EMU33630
Rotating parts
Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, PFD
straps, etc. can become entangled with inter-
nal rotating parts of the engine, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-
sible. Do not remove or replace the cowling
with the engine running.
Only operate the engine with the cowling re-
moved according to the specific instructions
in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewel-
ry, clothing, PFD straps, etc. away from any
exposed moving parts.
EMU33640
Hot parts
During and after operation, engine parts are
hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching
any parts under the top cowling until the en-
gine has cooled.
EMU33650
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while start-
ing or operating the engine. They can cause
shock or electrocution.
EMU33671
Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the
engine stops if the operator falls overboard
or leaves the helm. This prevents the boat
from running away under power and leaving
people stranded, or running over people or
objects.
Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a
secure place on your clothing or your arm or
leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave
the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-
tach the cord to clothing that could tear
loose, or route the cord where it could be-
come entangled, preventing it from function-
ing.
Do not route the cord where it is likely to be
accidentally pulled out. If the cord is pulled
during operation, the engine will shut off and
you will lose most steering control. The boat
could slow rapidly, throwing people and ob-
jects forward.
EMU33810
Gasoline
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flam-
mable and explosive. Always, refuel ac-
cording to the procedure on page 27 to
reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
EMU33820
Gasoline exposure and spills
Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline
spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.
Dispose of rags properly.
If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immedi-
ately wash with soap and water. Change
clothing if gasoline spills on it.
If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get
immediate medical attention. Never siphon
fuel by mouth.
EMU33900
Carbon monoxide
This product emits exhaust gases which
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odor-
less gas which may cause brain damage or

Safety information
2
death when inhaled. Symptoms include nau-
sea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Keep cock-
pit and cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid
blocking exhaust outlets.
EMU33780
Modifications
Do not attempt to modify this outboard mo-
tor. Modifications to your outboard motor
may reduce safety and reliability, and render
the outboard unsafe or illegal to use.
EMU33740
Boating safety
This section includes a few of the many im-
portant safety precautions that you should
follow when boating.
EMU33710
Alcohol and drugs
Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak-
ing drugs. Intoxication is one of the most
common factors contributing to boating fatal-
ities.
EMU33720
Personal flotation devices
Have an approved personal flotation device
(PFD) on board for every occupant. Yamaha
recommends that you must wear a PFD
whenever boating. At a minimum, children
and non-swimmers should always wear
PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs
when there are potentially hazardous boat-
ing conditions.
EMU33731
People in the water
Always watch carefully for people in the wa-
ter, such as swimmers, skiers, or divers,
whenever the engine is running. When
someone is in the water near the boat, shift
into neutral and stop the engine.
Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers
can be hard to see.
The propeller can keep moving even when
the motor is in neutral. Stop the engine when
a person is in the water near you.
EMU33751
Passengers
Consult your boat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for details about appropriate passenger
locations in your boat and be sure all pas-
sengers are positioned properly before ac-
celerating and when operating above an idle
speed. Standing or sitting in non-designated
locations may result in being thrown either
overboard or within the boat due to waves,
wakes, or sudden changes in speed or direc-
tion. Even when people are positioned prop-
erly, alert your passengers if you must make
any unusual maneuver. Always avoid jump-
ing waves or wakes.
EMU33760
Overloading
Do not overload the boat. Consult the boat
capacity plate or boat manufacturer for max-
imum weight and number of passengers. Be
sure that weight is properly distributed ac-
cording to the boat manufacturers instruc-
tions. Overloading or incorrect weight
distribution can compromise the boats han-
dling and lead to an accident, capsizing or
swamping.
EMU33772
Avoid collisions
Scan constantly for people, objects, and oth-
er boats. Be alert for conditions that limit your
visibility or block your vision of others.
ZMU06025

Safety information
3
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people, ob-
jects, and other boats.
●
Do not follow directly behind other boats or
waterskiers.
●
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.
● Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-
sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss
of control, ejection, and collision.
● Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, boats do not have brakes, and
stopping the engine or reducing throttle
can reduce the ability to steer. If you are
not sure that you can stop in time before
hitting an obstacle, apply throttle and turn
in another direction.
EMU33790
Weather
Stay informed about the weather. Check
weather forecasts before boating. Avoid
boating in hazardous weather.
EMU33880
Passenger training
Make sure at least one other passenger is
trained to operate the boat in the event of an
emergency.
EMU33890
Boating safety publications
Be informed about boating safety. Additional
publications and information can be obtained
from many boating organizations.
EMU33600
Laws and regulations
Know the marine laws and regulations where
you will be boating- and obey them. Several
sets of rules prevail according to geographic
location, but all are basically the same as the
International Rules of the Road.

Boat horsepower rating
WARNING
EWM01560
Overpowering a boat can cause severe
instability.
Before installing the outboard motor(s), con-
firm that the total horsepower of your mo-
tor(s) does not exceed the boats maximum
horsepower rating. See the boat’s capacity
plate or contact the manufacturer.
EMU33571
Mounting motor
WARNING
EWM01570
●
Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor could result in hazardous condi-
tions such as poor handling, loss of
control, or fire hazards.
●
Because the motor is very heavy, spe-
cial equipment and training is required
to mount it safely.
Your dealer or other person experienced in
proper rigging should mount the motor using
correct equipment and complete rigging in-
structions. For further information, see page
20.
EMU34192
Propeller selection
Next to selecting an outboard, choosing the
right propeller is one of the most important
purchasing decisions a boater can make.
The type, size, and design of your propeller
have a direct impact on acceleration, top
speed, fuel economy, and even engine life.
Yamaha designs and manufactures propel-
lers for every Yamaha outboard motor and
every application.
Your outboard motor came with a Yamaha
propeller chosen to perform well over a
range of applications, but there may be uses
where a different propeller would be more
appropriate.
Your Yamaha dealer can help you select the
right propeller for your boating needs. Select
a propeller that will allow the engine to reach
the middle or upper half of the operating
range at full throttle with the maximum boat-
load. Generally, chose a larger pitch propel-
ler for a smaller operating load and a smaller
pitch propeller for a heavier load. If you carry
loads that vary widely, chose the propeller
that lets the engine run in the proper range
for your maximum load but remember that
you may need to reduce your throttle setting
to stay within the recommended engine
speed range when carrying lighter loads.
For instructions on propeller removal and in-
stallation, see page 48.

EMU25770
Start-in-gear protection
Yamaha outboard motors or Yamaha-ap-
proved remote control units are equipped
with start-in-gear protection device(s). This
feature permits the engine to be started only
when it is in neutral. Always select neutral
before starting the engine.
EMU25651
Engine oil requirements
If the recommended engine oil is not avail-
able, another 2-stroke engine oil with an
NMMA-certified TC-W3 rating may be used.
EMU36360
Fuel requirements
EMU36771
Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane rating. If knocking or ping-
ing occurs, use a different brand of gasoline
or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha re-
comends that you use alcohol-free (see
Gasohol) gasoline whenever possible.
NOTICE
ECM01981
● Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
● Avoid getting water and contaminants
in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol (E10) and that containing
methanol. Ethanol can be used if the ethanol
content does not exceed 10% and the fuel
meets the minimum octane ratings. All etha-
nol blends containing more than 10% etha-
nol can cause fuel system damage or cause
engine starting and running problems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-
taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage or engine performance
problems.
EMU36880
Muddy or acidic water
Yamaha strongly recommends that you have
your dealer install the optional chromium-
plated water pump kit if you use the outboard
motor in muddy or acidic water conditions.
However, depending on the model it might
not be required.
EMU36330
Anti-fouling paint

rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit
marine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
EMU36341
Motor disposal requirements
Never illegally discard (dump) the motor.
Yamaha recommends consulting the dealer
about discarding the motor.
EMU36351
Emergency equipment
Keep the following items onboard in case
there is trouble with the motor.
●
A tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pli-
ers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and
electrical tape.
●
Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.
●
An extra engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
with clip.
