Safety information
Before mounting or operating the outboard motor, read this entire manual. Reading it should give you an understanding of the motor and its operation.
Before operating the boat, read any own­ers or operators manuals supplied with it and all labels. Be sure you understand each item before operating.
Do 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.
Do not modify the outboard. Modifications could make the motor unfit or unsafe to use.
Incorrect propeller selection and incorrect use may not only cause engine damage, but also adversely affect fuel consumption. Consult your dealer for correct use.
Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak­ing drugs. About 50% of all boating fatali­ties involve intoxication.
Have an approved personal flotation de­vice (PFD) on board for every occupant. It
General information
is a good idea to wear a PFD whenever boating. At a minimum, children and non­swimmers should always wear PFDs, and everyone should wear PFDs when there are potentially hazardous boating condi­tions.
Gasoline 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. This 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.
Check throttle, shift, and steering for prop­er operation before starting the engine. Attach 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.
Know the marine laws and regulations where you will be boating - and obey them.
Stay informed about the weather. Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous weather.
Tell someone where you are going: leave a Float Plan with a responsible person. Be sure to cancel the Float Plan when you re­turn.
Use 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
2
General information
watch for obstacles and other traffic.
Always watch carefully for swimmers dur­ing the engine operation.
Stay away from swimming areas.
When a swimmer is in the water near you shift into neutral and shut off the engine.
Do not illegally discard empty containers used to replace or replenish oil. For the correct processing of empty containers, consult the dealer where you purchased the oil. When replacing oils used to lubricate the
product (engine or gear oil), be sure to wipe away any spilt oil. Never pour oil with­out using a funnel or similar device. If nec­essary, verify the necessary replacement procedure with the dealer. Never illegally discard (dump) the product.
Yamaha recommends consulting the deal­er on discarding the product.

WARNING
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGH­LY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
Do not smoke when refueling, and keep away from sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition.
Stop engine before refueling.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso­line spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Tighten the filler cap securely after re-
fueling.
If you should swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get immediate medical attention. If any gasoline spills onto your skin, im-
mediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if gasoline spills on it. Touch the fuel nozzle to the filler open-
ing or funnel to help prevent electro­static sparks.
ECM00010
CAUTION:
Use only new clean gasoline which has been stored in clean containers and is not contaminated with water or foreign mat­ter.
EMU25580
Gasoline
Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a min­imum octane rating of 90 (Research Octane Number).
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
EMU25650
Engine oil
Recommended engine oil:
YAMALUBE 2-stroke outboard motor oil
If the recommended engine oil is not avail­able, another 2-stroke engine oil with an
NMMA-certified TC-W3 rating may be used.

Battery requirement
ECM01060
CAUTION:
Do not use a battery that does not meet the specified capacity. If a battery which does not meet specifications is used, the electric system could perform poorly or be overloaded, causing electric system damage.
For electric start models, choose a battery which meets the following specifications.
EMU25720
Battery specifications
Minimum cold cranking amps (CCA/EN):
30HW 347.0 A
Minimum rated capacity (20HR/IEC):

EMU25742
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.

General information
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.

Start-in-gear protection
Yamaha outboard motors affixed with the pictured label 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 in neutral. Always select neutral before starting the en­gine.

Engine stop lanyard switch
The lock plate must be attached to the en­gine stop switch for the engine to run. The lanyard should be attached to a secure place on the operators 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 engine. This will prevent the boat from running away un­der power.
EWM00120
WARNING
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while operating.
Do not attach the lanyard to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the lanyard where it could become entan­gled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid 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.

2-pin connector
AC 12 V-40/60/80W power is delivered through this connector. When using it, keep in mind the following points:
ZMU04737
Use a genuine Yamaha connector.
Use lighting equipment only.
Connect lighting equipment directly to the 2-pin connector.
Capacity of the lighting equipment must be more than 12 V-40/60/80W; otherwise the bulb could burn out.
When the connector is not in use, place the cap on it.
ECM01000
CAUTION:
Do not connect the 2-pin connector di­rectly to the battery terminals. Otherwise the electric system will be damaged.
EMU26420
Battery charging information
If you need to charge the battery, use a gen­uine charge cable to make the charging cir­cuit. For details on the cable connections, consult your Yamaha dealer.
NOTE:
Do not use the 2-pin connector while charging. The battery will not be charged.
If you need to use lighting equipment while charging the battery, connect it to the bat­tery, not to the 2-pin connector.

Overheat warning
This engine has an overheat warning device. If the engine temperature rises too high, the warning device will activate.
Activation of warning device
The engine speed will automatically de­crease to about 2000 r/min. If equipped with an overheat warning indi-
cator, it will light or blink.
The buzzer will sound (if equipped on the tiller handle, remote control box, or main switch panel).
