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 the Bronze Technical Certificate of the YTA
(Yamaha Technical Academy) marine or the equivalent 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. Also, up-to-date parts information is available on YPEC-web. Additional information and
up-to-date information on Yamaha products and services are available on Yamaha Service Portal.

General information
Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to provide quality service, observe the following
safety procedures.
Rotating part
• Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal flotation device straps, and so on,
can become entangled with internal rotating
parts of the engine, resulting in serious
injury or death.
• Keep the top cowling installed whenever
possible. Do not remove or install the top
cowling when the engine is running.
• Only operate the engine with the top cowling removed according to the specific
instructions in the manual. Keep hands,
feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal flotation device straps, and so on, away from
any exposed moving parts.
Handling of gasoline
• Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep gasoline and all flammable products away from
heat, sparks, and open flames.
• Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury
or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never
siphon gasoline by mouth. If you swallow
some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If gasoline
spills on your skin, wash with soap and
water. If gasoline spills on your clothing,
change your clothes.
Hot part
During and after operation, engine parts are
hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch any
parts under the top cowling until the engine
has cooled.
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while starting or operating the engine. Otherwise, shock
or electrocution could result.
Propeller
Do not hold the propeller with your hands
when loosening or tightening the propeller
nut.
Ventilation
• Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are
heavier than air and extremely poisonous.
If gasoline vapor or exhaust gas is inhaled
in large quantities, it may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time.
• When test running an engine indoors (for
example, in a water tank) make sure to do
so where adequate ventilation can be maintained.
0-1
Safety while working
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.
Working with crane
• Outboard motors weighing 18.0 kg (39.7 lb)
and over must be carried by a crane.
• Use the wire ropes of adequate strength,
and lift up the outboard motor using the
three point suspension.
• If the outboard motor does not have three
or more points to be suspended, support it
using additional ropes or the like so that the
outboard motor can be lifted and carried in
a stable manner.
Handling of gas torch
• Improper handling of a gas torch may result
in burns. For information on the proper handling of the gas torch, see the operation
manual issued by the manufacturer.
• When using a gas torch, keep it away from
the gasoline and oil, to prevent a fire.
• Components become hot enough to cause
burns. Do not touch any hot components
directly.
Part, lubricant, and sealant
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants, or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the outboard motor.
0
Handling of sealant
• Wear protective gloves to protect your skin,
when using the sealants.
• See the material safety data sheet issued
by the manufacturer. Some of the sealants
may be harmful to human health.

General information
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools
to work safely, and to protect parts from damage.
Tightening torque
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 part
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cotter pins, and so on, when installing or assembling parts.
Disassembly and assembly
• Use compressed air to remove dust and dirt
during disassembly.
• Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces of
moving parts before assembly.
• Install bearings so that the bearing identification mark is facing in the direction indicated in the installation procedure. In
addition, make sure to lubricate the bearings liberally.
• Apply a thin coat of water resistant grease
to the lip and periphery of an oil seal before
installation.
• Check that moving parts operate normally
after assembly.

Electronic fuel injection control
In electronic fuel injection control, the engine ECM calculates the precise air and fuel mixture
required in each combustion chamber depending on the load and engine speed in order to increase
combustion efficiency. The fuel injection amount is controlled by the fuel injector actuation time.
There are 2 types of fuel injection timing control: synchronous fuel injection and asynchronous fuel
injection. According to the engine operating conditions during the control, the control mode switches
automatically between the start-up mode, normal operating mode, and fuel injection cutoff mode. In
addition, a multi-point fuel injection system provides the appropriate fuel injection amount for all
weather conditions. As a result, the outboard motor starts quickly the first time the engine start
switch is turned to START. Also, a fuel injector anti-sticking control has been adopted.

operating conditions, the basic ignition timing and ignition coil energization time are determined. In
addition, various restrictions and compensations are made to determine the actual ignition timing.
The ignition timing is also controlled according to the knock control. See “Knock control” (2-7).

Knock control
In knock control, the engine ECM receives the knock signal from the knock sensor, which is
installed on the cylinder block between the cylinder banks. The engine ECM retards the ignition timing and decreases the engine speed according to the amount of knocking to protect the engine from
damage.
If the knocking occurs frequently, the ignition timing is retarded until the knocking is no longer
detected, and the retarded ignition timing is maintained.
Also, a learning function for the knock control has been adopted.

Power unit system
These models are equipped with a V6, 4-stroke engine that has 60° cylinder banks. The power unit
features shimless valve lifters, a blowby gas reburning system, a vapor gas treatment system, a single electronic throttle body, long intake manifolds, large diameter intake valve heads, and an inbank exhaust system.
The F(L)250G is a new high-output outboard motor for use in various environments. The outboard
motor has adopted structural features that improve durability.
The F(L)200B is an outboard motor for commercial use.
Shimless valve lifter
Newly designed valve lifters 1 have been adopted instead of the usual valve shims 2. The valve
lifters are available in different thicknesses a. Therefore, the valve clearance b can be adjusted by
replacing the current valve lifter with a new valve lifter of the appropriate thickness.
A blowby gas reburning system removes any unburned fuel from the blowby gases and sends it to
the combustion chambers to be burned.

Intake and exhaust system
The single electronic throttle valve, which is operated by the engine ECM, enables precise control of
the intake air. The intake air is smoothly routed into each combustion chamber through the surge
tanks and the long intake manifolds for greater power. The long intake manifolds are designed to
increase air flow, thereby boosting low and mid-range torque and resulting in quicker acceleration.
The intake system has adopted intake valves with large diameter valve heads to increase the charging efficiency of the intake air.
The exhaust gases are cooled with water as they pass through the in-bank exhaust system. For
increased performance, the gases are smoothly vented straight down and out through the propeller.
The exhaust gas passages are anodized to protect the lower unit from corrosion.
The outer plate cartridge and insert cartridge of the water pump are hard chromeplated for durability
and to protect the parts from abrasion due to muddy water.
The lower case and propeller shaft housing are anodized.
Drive shaft spring (F250G and FL250G)
The spring pushes the drive shaft toward the water pump and stabilizes the thrust free play of the
shaft.
The water pipe for cooling the propeller damper is incorporated in the lower case. The water intake
is located in front of the trim tab to drawn in the water by the dynamic pressure, and the propeller
damper is cooled without disturbing the exhaust gas flow. As a result, higher output can be
obtained.

• Overpowering a boat could cause severe instability. Do not mount an outboard motor with
more horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat
does not have a capacity plate, consult the boat manufacturer.
• Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazardous conditions, such as
poor handling, loss of control, or fire hazards. Consult your dealer or have a Yamaha
trained person experienced in proper rigging mount the outboard motor.
Too much weight on the transom could change the center of gravity, buoyancy, operating
balance, or performance of the boat, which could cause loss of control or swamping. Consult the boat manufacturer for the maximum engine weight allowable on the transom, which
is different from the overall boat capacity. Overloading the transom with an outboard motor
that is too heavy could also damage the hull, transom, deck, or helm area, as well as the outboard motor and other equipment.
Before mounting the outboard motor, consult the manufacturer of the engine jack plates or
brackets. Excessive loads could damage the engine jack plates, brackets, boat transom,
steering system, or engine. This could cause loss of control.

4-stroke engines are heavier than 2-stroke
engines of the same horsepower. Therefore,
if a 2-stroke outboard motor is replaced with
a 4-stroke outboard motor, the boat will
become “stern heavy.” Also, the water line
will rise and become closer to the power unit.
If the water line is too close to the power
head, poor engine performance could result,
and water could enter the cylinders and damage the engine.
When mounting a 4-stroke outboard motor to
a boat, make sure that the mounting height
between the water surface and the clamp
bracket seating point is not less than the
specified minimum mounting height a. Measure the mounting height when the boat is
moored and carrying the maximum load.

Battery installation
• Make sure to connect the battery properly and select the proper cable sizes. Otherwise, a
fire could result.
• When installing an isolator lead to the positive battery terminal or battery switch, over-cur-
rent protection in compliance with ABYC (E-11) must be provided.
Do not reverse the battery connections. Otherwise, the charging system could be damaged.
Battery cable routing without house (accessory) battery
• When only one battery is used for one engine, connect the positive battery cable and isola-
tor lead to the positive battery terminal. If the isolator lead is left unconnected, accidental
contact of the isolator lead with the negative terminal of the battery can cause a short circuit, which may result in a fire.
• When using a dual battery installation, a negative battery cable must be installed between
both engine batteries. This cable must be sized equivalent to the engine battery cables or
larger AWG cable size in accordance with ABYC specifications.

Rigging recommendation
Extension length recommendation for battery cable
Do not exceed the recommended extension length for the battery cable. Otherwise, the electrical system could be damaged or operate improperly.
To extend the length of battery cables, follow the requirements in the tables for your battery capacity, cable size, and ambient temperature.
The maximum total extension length is the total combined length of the positive and negative battery cables.
Select an extension battery cable and terminal that meet ABYC requirements or equivalent.
Select a battery stud that is best-suited to the terminal size.
Solder the cable and terminal connections to prevent them from corroding.
Ambient temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) and above

Propeller selection
The size and type of propeller that is used will
affect the performance of a boat and outboard motor critically. 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
damage the engine seriously.
Use the following information as a guide for
selecting a propeller that meets the operating
conditions of the boat and outboard motor.
Propeller size
The size of the propeller is indicated on the
propeller boss end, and on the side of the
propeller boss.
abc
The propeller sizes listed in the propeller list
indicate the following information:
--
da bc
a Propeller diameter (in inches)
b Propeller pitch (in inches)
c Propeller type (propeller mark)
d Number of propeller blades
Selection
When the engine speed is at full throttle operating range, the ideal propeller for the boat is
the one that provides maximum performance
in relation to boat speed and fuel consumption.
