QSAFETY INFORMATION
8Before mounting or operating the out-
board motor, read this entire manual.
Reading it should give you an under-
standing of the motor and its operation.
8Before operating the boat, read any
owner s or operator s manuals supplied
with it and all labels. Be sure you under-
stand each item before operating.
8Do not overpower the boat with this out-
board motor. Overpowering the boat
could result in loss of control. The rated
power of the outboard should be equal to
or less than the rated horsepower capaci-
ty of the boat. If the rated horsepower
capacity of the boat is unknown, consult
the dealer or boat manufacturer.
8Do not modify the outboard. Modifications
could make the motor unfit or unsafe to
use.
8Never operate after drinking alcohol or
taking drugs. About 50% of all boating
fatalities involve intoxication.
8Have an approved personal flotation
device (PFD) on board for every occu-
pant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD
whenever boating. At a minimum, chil-
dren and non-swimmers should always
wear PFDs, and everyone should wear
PFDs when there are potentially haz-
ardous boating conditions.
8Gasoline (Petrol) is highly flammable, and
its vapors are flammable and explosive.
Handle and store gasoline (Petrol) care-
fully. Make sure there are no gas fumes
or leaking fuel before starting the engine.

8This product emits exhaust gases which
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas which may cause brain
damage or death when inhaled.
Symptoms include nausea, dizziness,
and drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cabin
areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking
exhaust outlets.
8Check throttle, shift, and steering for
proper operation before starting the
engine.
8Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a
secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg while operating. If you acciden-
tally leave the helm, the lanyard will pull
from the switch, stopping the engine.
8Know the marine laws and regulations
where you will be boating - and obey
them.
8Stay informed about the weather. Check
weather forecasts before boating. Avoid
boating in hazardous weather.
8Tell someone where you are going: leave
a Float Plan with a responsible person.
Be sure to cancel the Float Plan when
you return.
8Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abilities, and be
sure you understand how your boat han-
dles under the different boating conditions
you may encounter. Operate within your
limits, and the limits of your boat. Always
operate at safe speeds, and keep a care-
ful watch for obstacles and other traffic.
8Always watch carefully for swimmers dur-
ing the engine operation.
8Stay away from swimming areas.
8When a swimmer is in the water near you
shift into neutral and shut off the engine.

other sources of ignition.
8Sto engine before refueling.
8Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel
ortable fuel tanks off the boat.
8Take care not to s ill gasoline. If gaso-
line s ills, wi e it u immediately with
dry rags.
8Do not overfill the fuel tank.
8Tighten the filler ca securely after
refueling.
8If you should swallow some gasoline
inhale a lot of gasoline va or, or get

BATTERY REQUIREMENT
cC
Do not use a battery that does not meet
the s ecified ca acity. If a battery which
does not meet s ecifications is used, the
electric system could erform oorly or
be overloaded, causing electric system
damage.
For electric start models, choose a battery
which meets the following specifications.
EMU01857
EMU01395
PROPELLER SELECTION
The performance of your outboard motor
will be critically affected by your choice of
propeller, as an incorrect choice could
adversely affect performance and could
also seriously damage the motor. Engine
speed depends on the propeller size and
boat load. If engine speed is too high or too
low for good engine performance, this will
have an adverse effect on the engine.
Yamaha outboard motors are fitted with
propellers chosen to perform well over a
range of applications, but there may be
uses where a propeller with a different pitch
would be more appropriate. For a greater
operating load, a smaller-pitch propeller is
more suitable as it enables the correct
engine speed to be maintained. Conversely,
a larger-pitch propeller is more suitable for
a smaller operating load.
Minimum cold cranking amps (CCA/EN):
430 amps at -18°C (-0.4°F)
Minimum rated capacity (20HR/IEC):
70 A·h

1-9
Yamaha dealers stock a range of pro-
pellers, and can advise you and install a
propeller on your outboard that is best suit-
ed to your application.
NOTE:
At full throttle and under a maximum boat
load, the engine s rpm should be within the
upper half of the full throttle operating
range, as listed in “SPECIFICATIONS” on
page 4-1. Select a propeller which fulfills
this requirement.
If operating under conditions which allow
the engine s rpm to rise above the maxi-
mum recommended range (such as light
boat loads), reduce the throttle setting to
maintain the rpm in the proper operating
range.

2Propeller pitch (in inches)
3Type of propeller (propeller mark)
Refer to the section “CHECKING PRO-
PELLER” for instructions on propeller
removal and installation.

START-IN-GEAR PROTECTION
Yamaha outboard motors which have the
pictured label 1affixed to them or Yamaha
approved remote control units are equipped
with start-in-gear protection device(s). This
feature permits the engine to be started
only when it is Neutral. Always select
Neutral before starting the engine.
