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.

General information
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.
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.
1
Parts, lubricants, and sealants
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the outboard motor.
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.
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.
1-3
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.
6D81G11
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.

Propeller selection
1
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
propeller boss end, on the side of the propeller boss.
When the engine speed is at the full throttle
operating range (5,000–6,000 r/min), the
ideal propeller for the boat is one that provides maximum performance in relation to
boat speed and fuel consumption.

completed as explained below.
Checking the fuel system
1.Check that the fuel hoses are securely
connected and that the fuel tank is full
with fuel.

Checking the battery
1.Check the capacity, electrolyte level, and
specified gravity of the battery.
Recommended battery capacity:
CCA/SAE: 380 A
MCA/ABYC: 502 A
RC/SAE: 124 Minute
Electrolyte specified gravity:
1.280 at 20 °C (68 °F)
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 bolts.
Checking the remote control cables
1.Set the remote control lever to the neutral position and fully close the throttle
lever.
2.Check that the stopper 1 on the throttle
cam contacts the fully closed stopper
on the cylinder block.

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
aligned with the bottom of the boat. 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.

WARNING
Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it contains sulfuric acid which is poisonous and
highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive measures:
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as
it can cause severe burns or permanent
eye injury.
• Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
• SKIN – Wash with water.
• EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
• Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries generate explosive, hydrogen
gas. Always follow these preventive measures:
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.

blueing dye (Dykem) onto the valve seat.
3.Lap the valve slowly on the valve seat
with a valve lapper (commercially available) as shown.
Valve guide position a:
11.5 ± 0.2 mm (0.45 ± 0.01 in)
3.Insert the special service tool into the
valve guide 2, and then ream the valve
guide.
NOTE:
• Turn the valve guide reamer clockwise to
ream the valve guide.
• Do not turn the reamer counterclockwise
when removing the reamer.
4.Measure the valve seat contact width
where the blueing dye is adhered to the
valve face. Reface the valve seat if the
valve is not seated properly or if the valve
seat contact width is out of specification.
Replace the valve guide if the valve seat
contact is uneven.
