EMU33623
Outboard motor safety
Observe these precautions at all times.
EMU36502
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.
EMU40272
Rotating parts
Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal flotation device (PFD) straps, etc., can become entangled with internal rotating parts of the engine, resulting in serious injury or death.
Keep the top cowling in place whenever possible. Do not remove or replace the top cowling with the engine running.
Only operate the engine with the top cowling removed according to the specific instructions in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, PFD straps, etc., away from any exposed moving parts.
EMU33641
Hot parts
During and after operation, engine parts are hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching any parts under the top cowling until the engine has cooled.
EMU33651
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while starting or operating the engine. They can cause shock or electrocution.
EMU33661
Power trim and tilt
Body parts can be crushed between the motor and the clamp bracket when the motor is trimmed or tilted. Keep body parts out of this area at all times. Be sure no one is in this area before operating the power trim and tilt mechanism.
The power trim and tilt switches operate even when the main switch is off. Keep people be away from the switches whenever working around the motor.
Never get under the lower unit while it is tilted, even when the tilt support lever is locked. Severe injury could occur if the outboard motor accidentally falls.
EMU33672
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 attach the cord to clothing that could tear loose, or route the cord where it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
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 objects forward.

Safety information
EMU33811
Gasoline
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. Always, refuel according to the procedure on page 55 to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
EMU33821
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, immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if gasoline spills on it.
If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get immediate medical attention. Never siphon fuel by mouth.
EMU33901
Carbon monoxide
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.
EMU33781
Modifications
Do not attempt to modify this outboard motor. Modifications to your outboard motor may reduce safety and reliability, and render the outboard unsafe or illegal to use.
EMU33741
Boating safety
This section includes a few of the many important safety precautions that you should follow when boating.
EMU33711
Alcohol and drugs
Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Intoxication is one of the most common factors contributing to boating fatalities.
EMU40281
Personal flotation devices (PFDs)
Have an approved 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 boating conditions.
EMU33732
People in the water
Always watch carefully for people in the water, 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.
EMU33752
Passengers
Consult your boat manufacturer’s instructions for details about appropriate passenger locations in your boat and be sure all passengers are positioned properly before accelerating 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 direction. Even when people are positioned properly, alert your passengers if you must make any unusual maneuver. Always avoid jumping waves or wakes.
EMU33762
Overloading
Do not overload the boat. Consult the boat capacity plate or boat manufacturer for maximum weight and number of passengers. Be sure that weight is properly distributed according to the boat manufacturer’s instruc-
2
Safety information
tions. Overloading or incorrect weight distribution can compromise the boats handling and lead to an accident, capsizing or swamping.
EMU33773
Avoid collisions
Scan constantly for people, objects, and other boats. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.
ZMU06025
Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, 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 understand where you are going.
Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and collision.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Remember, 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.
EMU33791
Weather
Stay informed about the weather. Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous weather.
EMU33881
Passenger training
Make sure at least one other passenger is trained to operate the boat in the event of an emergency.
EMU33891
Boating safety publications
Be informed about boating safety. Additional publications and information can be obtained from many boating organizations.
EMU33601
Laws and regulations
Know the marine laws and regulations where you will be boatingand obey them. Several sets of rules prevail according to geographic location, but all are basically the same as the International Rules of the Road.

Propeller selection
Next to selecting an outboard motor, selecting 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 propellers for every Yamaha outboard motor and every application.
Your outboard motor came with a Yamaha propeller selected 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 boatload. Generally, select a larger pitch propeller for a smaller operating load and a smaller
11
Specifications and requirements
pitch propeller for a heavier load. If you carry loads that vary widely, select 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.
To check the propeller, see page 84.

EMU36313
Counter rotation models
Standard outboard motors rotate clockwise. Counter rotation models rotate counterclockwise and are typically used in multiple motor setups.
On counter rotation models, be sure to use a propeller intended for counterclockwise rotation. These propellers are identified with the letter “L” after the size indication on the propeller. WARNING! Never use a standard propeller with a counter rotation motor, or a counter rotation propeller with a standard motor. Otherwise the boat could go in the direction opposite of that expected (for example, reverse instead of forward), which could lead to an accident. [EWM01811]
For instructions on propeller removal and installation, see page 85.
EMU25771
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.

Fuel requirements
EMU40202
Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the minimum octane rating. If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline
Min. research octane number (RON):
90
ECM01982
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline can seriously damage the engine.
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 containing 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. E85 is a fuel containing 85% ethanol and must not be used in your outboard motor. All ethanol
blends containing more than 10% ethanol can cause fuel system damage or cause engine starting and running problems. Yamaha does not recommend gasohol containing methanol because it can cause fuel system damage or engine performance problems.
It is recommended that you install a waterseparating marine fuel filter assembly (10 micron minimum) between your boat’s fuel tank and outboard motor when using ethanol. Ethanol is known to allow moisture to be absorbed into boat fuel tanks and systems. Moisture in the fuel can cause corrosion of metallic fuel system components, starting and running complaints and require additional fuel system maintenance.
EMU36331
Anti-fouling paint
A clean hull improves boat performance. The boat bottom should be kept as clean of marine 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.

Throttle friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to movement of the throttle grip or the remote control lever, and can be set according to operator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise. WARNING! Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to move the remote control lever or throttle grip, which could result in an
accident. [EWM00033]
ZMU04646
When constant speed is desired, tighten the adjuster to maintain the desired throttle setting.
EMU25996
Engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and clip
The clip must be attached to the engine shutoff switch for the engine to run. The cord should be attached to a secure place on the operator’s clothing, or arm or leg. Should the operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to the engine. This will prevent the boat from running away under power. WARNING! Attach the engine shut-off cord to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg while operating. Do not attach the cord to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the cord where it could become entangled, preventing it from functioning. Avoid accidentally pulling the cord during normal operation. Loss of engine power means the loss of most steering control.
