QINFORMATIONSAFETY

8Before mounting or operating the outboard motor, read this entire manual. Reading it should give you an understanding 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 understand each item before operating.

8Do not overpower the boat with this outboard 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 capacity 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 occupant. It is a good idea to 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 boating conditions.

8Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Handle and store gasoline carefully. 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 accidentally 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. Refer to the “RULES OF THE ROAD” section for basic boating rules.

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 handles 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 careful watch for obstacles and other traffic.

8Always watch carefully for swimmers during the engine operation.

8Stay away from swimming areas.

1-3

8When a swimmer is in the water near you shift into neutral and shut off the engine.

BASIC BOATING RULES (Rules of the road)

Just as there are rules which apply when you are driving on streets and high ways, there are waterway rules which apply when you are driving your boat. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.

Several sets of rules prevail according to geographic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in your Owner’s Manual are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Department of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be using your boat.

STEERING AND SAILING RULES AND SOUND SIGNALS

Whenever two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of- way; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel which does not have the right- of-way is called the “give-way” or “burdened” vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.

Stand-on vessel

The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.

Give-way vessel

The vessel which does not have the right- of-way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On vessel. Normally, you should not cross in front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should slow down or change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the operator of the other vessel can see what you are doing.

“The general prudential rule”

This rule is called Rule 2 in the International Rules and says,

‘In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances, which may render a departure from the above rules necessary in order to avoid immediate danger.’

In other words, follow the standard rules except when a collision will occur unless both vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the case, both vessels become “Give-Way” vessels.

Crossing

When two power driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on the starboard (right) side must keep out of the way of the other. If the other vessel is on your right, you must keep out of its way; you are the Give-Way vessel. If the other vessel is on your port (left) side, remember that you should maintain course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way as it should.

Reading buoys and other markers

The waters of the United states are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers have an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass on when navigating in a particular direction. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the port). This means that red buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to port (left) side. When navigating out of port, your position with respect to the buoys should be reversed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard.

Many bodies of water used by boaters are entirely within the boundaries of a particular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters. This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or advisory informa-

1-8

tion. These markers are white with black letters and orange boarders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.

Remember, markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local boating authorities before driving your boat in unfamiliar waters.

FUELING INSTRUCTIONS

w

GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!

8Do not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition.

8Stop engine before refueling.

8Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat.

8Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.

8Do not overfill the fuel tank.

8Tighten the filler cap securely after refueling.

8If you should swallow some gasoline inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get immediate medical attention.

8If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if gasoline spills on it.

8Touch the fuel nozzle to the filler opening or funnel to help prevent electrostatic sparks.

cC

Use only new clean gasoline which has been stored in clean containers and is not contaminated with water or foreign matter.

1-10

E

EMU00018

GASOLINE (PETROL)

Recommended gasoline: Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86

(Pump Octane Number) = (R+M)/2

If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. If unleaded gasoline is not available, then leaded regular gasoline can be used.

EMU00027

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or engine performance problems.

EMU00858

ENGINE OIL

Recommended engine oil: YAMALUBE 2 STROKE OUTBOARD OIL

If the recommended engine oil is not available, another 2-stroke engine oil with a NMMA-certified TC-W3 rating may be used.

EMU01430

BATTERY REQUIREMENT

cC

Do not use a battery that does not meet the specified capacity. If a battery which differs from the specification is used, the electrical system may perform poorly or be overloaded, causing electrical system damage.

cC

8A battery cannot be connected to models which do not have a rectifier or rectifier regulator.

Models without a rectifier or rectifier

regulator: 25NMH, 30DMHO, 25JMH

8If you wish to use a battery with the above models, install an optional rectifier regulator.

Models with only a rectifier

installed: 30DEHO

8Using a maintenance-free battery with the above models can shorten the life of the battery significantly.

8Use caution when connecting accessories such as fish finders, as they may be damaged by high voltage. Install an optional rectifier regulator or use accessories rated to withstand 18 volts or higher with the above models. Consult your Yamaha dealer for details on installing an optional rectifier regulator.

Choose a battery for electric start models which meets the following specifications.

Minimum cold crank performance 210 Amps at -17.8°C (0°F) Minimum reserve capacity

40 minutes at 26.7°C (80°F)

1-12

E

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.

Yamaha dealers stock a range of propellers, and can advise you and install a propeller on your outboard that is best suited to your application.

1-13

10-3/4x17-F

1 23

E

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 maximum recommended range (such as light boat loads), reduce the throttle setting to maintain the rpm in the proper operating range.

1 Propeller diameter (in inches)

2 Propeller pitch (in inches)

3 Type of propeller (propeller mark)

Refer to the section “CHECKING PRO- 602016 PELLER” for instructions on propeller

removal and installation.

EMU01209

START-IN-GEAR PROTECTION

Yamaha outboard motors 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.

ENGINE STOP LANYARD SWITCH

 

 

 

 

(for Tiller control model)

 

 

The lock-plate on the end of the lanyard

 

 

must be attached to the engine stop

 

 

switch for the engine to run. The lanyard

1

 

should be attached to a secure place on

2

the operator’s clothing, or arm or leg.

Should the operator fall overboard or

 

leave the helm, the lanyard will pull out

 

 

 

 

the lock plate, stopping ignition to the

25-3/30

 

engine. This will prevent the boat from

 

 

running away under power.

arm or leg while operating.

 

 

8Do not attach the lanyard to clothing

 

 

 

 

that could tear loose. Do not route the

 

 

lanyard in such a way that it could

 

 

become entangled, preventing it from

 

 

functioning.

 

 

8Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard

 

 

during normal operation. Loss of

 

 

engine power means the loss of most

 

 

steering control. Also, without engine

 

 

power, the boat could slow rapidly.

 

 

This could cause people and objects in

 

 

the boat to be thrown forward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

 

The engine cannot be started with the

 

 

lock-plate removed.
