Safety information
EMU33621
Safety information
Observe these precautions at all times.
EMU33630
Rotating parts
Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, 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 cowling
with the engine running.
Only operate the engine with the 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.
EMU33640
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.
EMU33650
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while starting or operating the engine. They can cause
shock or electrocution.
EMU33660
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.
EMU33670
Engine shut-off cord
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.
EMU33810
Gasoline
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
Always, refuel according to the procedure on page 41 to
reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
EMU33820
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.

EMU33740
Boating safety
This section includes a few of the many important safety precautions that you should
follow when boating.
EMU33710
Alcohol and drugs
Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Intoxication is one of the most
common factors contributing to boating fatalities.
EMU33720
Personal flotation devices
Have an approved personal flotation device
(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.
EMU33730
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 shut off the motor.
Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers
can be hard to see.
The propeller can keep moving even when
the motor is in neutral. Shut off the engine
when a person is in the water near you.
EMU33750
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.
EMU33760
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 manufacturers instructions. Overloading or incorrect weight
distribution can compromise the boats handling and lead to an accident, capsizing or
swamping.
EMU33770
Avoid collisions
Scan constantly
other boats. Be alert for conditions that limit
your visibility or block your vision of others.
Operate defensively
keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other boats.
●
Do not follow directly behind other boats or
waterskiers.

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 chosen 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, chose a larger pitch propeller for a smaller operating load and a smaller
pitch propeller for a heavier load. If you carry
loads that vary widely, chose 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.
For instructions on propeller removal and installation, see page 79.
Minimum cold cranking amps (CCA/EN):

Control lever
Moving the lever forward from the neutral position engages forward gear. Pulling the lever back from neutral engages reverse. The
engine will continue to run at idle until the lever is moved 22.5° (a detent can be felt).
Moving the lever farther opens the throttle,
and the engine will begin to accelerate.
Digital electronic control for twin type has the
function of automatically synchronizing the
engine speeds of both engines.
Also digital electronic control for triple type
has the function of automatically synchronizing the engine speeds of the center engine
and starboard side engine to adapt to the
portside engine speed.
The functions of the control lever for tripletype digital electronic control are as follows.
●
Operate the port side engine using the port
side control lever.
The center engine runs at the average
●
speed of port side and starboard side engines’ speeds.
Operate the starboard side engine using
●
the starboard side control lever.

The free throttle switch can only be used
when the control lever is in the neutral position.
During operation the digital electronic control-active indicator changes from continuously lit to blinking. When the indicator starts
blinking, the throttle begins to open after the
control lever is moved at least 22.5°.
After using the free throttle switch, return the
control lever to the neutral position. The free
throttle switch will return automatically to its
set position. The digital electronic control-active indicator will change from blinking to
continuously lit and the digital electronic control will then engage forward and reverse
normally.

Throttle friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to movement of the control lever, and
can be set according to operator preference.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster
clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise.
EWM01770
WARNING
If the friction is too small, the control le-
●
ver could move freely and cause an accident.
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster.
●
If there is too much resistance, it could
be difficult to move the control lever,
which could result in an accident.

main switch is turned to “” (on) and all con-
trol levers are in Neutral.
The switch panel can be operated at both the
main station and sub station when the main
switch is set to “” (on).

Engine shut-off switch
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.
EWM01790
WARNING
Attach the engine shut-off cord to a se-
●
cure 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 dur-
●
ing 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.
