This manual has been prepared by Yamaha primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their trained
mechanics when performing maintenance procedures and repairs to Yamaha equipment. It has
been written to suit the needs of persons who have a basic understanding of the mechanical and
electrical concepts and procedures inherent in the work, for without such knowledge attempted
repairs or service to the equipment could render it unsafe or unfit for use.
Because Yamaha has a policy of continuously improving its products, models may differ in detail
from the descriptions and illustrations given in this publication. Use only the latest edition of this
manual. Authorized Yamaha dealers are notified periodically of modifications and significant
changes in specifications and procedures, and these are incorporated in successive editions of this
manual.

Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to ensure
quality service, follow the safety procedures
provided below.
Fire prevention
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Keep gasoline and all flammable products
away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
General information
Parts, lubricants, and sealants
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the outboard motor.
Ventilation
Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier
than air and extremely poisonous. If inhaled
in large quantities they may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short time.
When test running an engine indoors (e.g., in
a water tank) be sure to do so where adequate ventilation can be maintained.
Self-protection
Protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses
or safety goggles during all operations involving drilling and grinding, or when using an air
compressor.
Protect your hands and feet by wearing protective gloves and safety shoes when necessary.
Under normal conditions, the lubricants mentioned in this manual should not harm or be
hazardous to your skin. However, you should
follow these precautions to minimize any risk
when working with lubricants.
1.Maintain good standards of personal and
industrial hygiene.
2.Change and wash clothing as soon as
possible if soiled with lubricants.
3.Avoid contact with skin. Do not, for example, place a soiled rag in your pocket.
4.Wash hands and any other part of the
body thoroughly with soap and hot water
after contact with a lubricant or lubricant
soiled clothing has been made.
5.To protect your skin, apply a protective
cream to your hands before working on
the outboard motor.

Safety while working
6.Keep a supply of clean, lint-free cloths for
wiping up spills, etc.
Good working practices
Special service tools
Use the recommended special service tools
to protect parts from damage. Use the right
tool in the right manner–do not improvise.
Tightening torques
Follow the tightening torque specifications
provided throughout the manual. When tightening nuts, bolts, and screws, tighten the
large sizes first, and tighten fasteners starting
in the center and moving outward.
Non-reusable parts
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cotter pins, circlips, etc., when installing or
assembling parts.
Disassembly and assembly
1.Use compressed air to remove dust and
dirt during disassembly.
2.Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces
of moving parts before assembly.
3.Install bearings with the manufacture
identification mark in the direction indicated in the installation procedure. In addition, be sure to lubricate the bearings liberally.
4.Apply a thin coat of water-resistant
grease to the lip and periphery of an oil
seal before installation.
5.Check that moving parts operate normally after assembly.

Serial number
The outboard motor serial number is
stamped on a label attached to the port clamp
bracket.
Propeller selection
The performance of a boat and outboard
motor will be critically affected by the size and
type of propeller you choose. Propellers
greatly affect boat speed, acceleration,
engine life, fuel economy, and even boating
and steering capabilities. An incorrect choice
could adversely affect performance and could
also seriously damage the engine.
Use the following information as a guide for
selecting a propeller that meets the operating
conditions of the boat and the outboard
motor.
Propeller size
The size of the propeller is indicated on the
outside of the propeller boss or the propeller
blade.

Selection
When the engine speed is at the full throttle
operating range (4,500–5,500 r/min), the
ideal propeller for the boat is one that provides maximum performance in relation to
boat speed and fuel consumption.

Predelivery checks
To make the delivery process smooth and
efficient, the predelivery checks should be
completed as explained below.
Propeller selection/Predelivery checks
6H910040
cC
Use pre-mixed fuel only.
Fuel and oil mixing ratio is 30:1. For
break-in period, gasoline: 25:1, kerosene:
30:1 mixture shall be used.
Checking the gear oil
1.Check the gear oil level.

Checking the battery (W)
1. Check the capacity, electrolyte level, and
specified gravity of the battery.

2. Check that the positive and negative battery leads are securely connected.
Checking the outboard motor
mounting height
1.Check that the anti-cavitation plate is
between the bottom of the boat and a
maximum of 25 mm (1 in) a below it. If
the mounting height is too high, cavitation
will occur and propulsion will be reduced.
Also, the engine speed will increase
abnormally and cause the engine to overheat. If the mounting height is too low,
water resistance will increase and reduce
engine efficiency.
General information
3. Check that the shift lever 2 is in the neu-
tral position.
NOTE:
The optimum mounting height is affected by
the combination of the boat and the outboard
motor. To determine the optimum mounting
height, test run the outboard motor at different heights
2.Check that the clamp brackets are
secured with the clamp screws.
Checking the remote control cables
(remote control model)
1.Set the remote control lever to the neutral
position and fully close the throttle lever.
2. Check that the throttle pulley 1 is in its
fully closed position, and check the pulley
is contact the fully stopper a on the
bracket.
w
The shift/throttle cable joint must be
screwed in a minimum of 8.0 mm (0.31 in)
b.
NOTE:
Check the throttle valve fully open, after setting the remote control cables.

operation
1.Check that the gear shift operates
smoothly when the shift lever or remote
control lever is shifted from neutral to forward or reverse.
2.Check that the throttle operates smoothly when the throttle grip (tiller handle
model) is turned from the fully closed
position to the fully open position a.

Checking the cooling water pilot
hole
1.Check that cooling water is discharged
from the cooling water pilot hole.
3.Check that the engine turns off when the
engine stop lanyard switch (and or
engine stop button) is pushed or the
engine stop lanyard is pulled from the
engine stop lanyard switch.
Test run
1.Start the engine, then check that the gear
shift operates smoothly.
2.Check the engine idle speed after the
engine has been warmed up.
3.Operate at trolling speed.
4.Run the outboard motor for 1 hour at
3,000 r/min or at half throttle, then for
another hour at 4,000 r/min or at 3/4
throttle.
5.Check that the outboard motor does not
tilt up when shifting into reverse and that
water does not flow in over the transom.

Break-in
During the test run, perform the break-in
operation in the following 5 stages.
1.10 minutes a at the lowest possible
speed. A fast idle in neutral is best.
2.50 minutes b at 1/2 throttle (approxi-
mately 3,000 r/min) or less. Vary engine
speed occasionally. On an easy-planing
boat, accelerate at full throttle onto plane,
then immediately reduce the throttle to
3,000 r/min or less.
3.1 hour c at 3/4 throttle (approximately
4,000 r/min). Vary engine speed occasionally. Run at full throttle for 1 minute,
the allow about 10 minutes of operation
at 3/4 throttle or less to let the engine
cool.
4.8 hours d at any speed, but avoid oper-
ating at full throttle for more than 5 minutes at a time. Let the engine cool
between full-throttle runs. Vary engine
speed occasionally.
After test run
1.Check for water in the gear oil.
2.Check for fuel leakage in the cowling.
3.Flush the cooling water passage with
fresh water using the flushing kit and with
the engine running at idle.
