Safety information
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 54 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
ZMU06025
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.
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 aggres-
sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of
control, ejection, and collision.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, 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 boating- and 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 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
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.
Yamaha recommends to use a propeller suitable for the “Shift Dampener System (SDS)”.
For further information, consult your Yamaha
dealer.
To check the propeller, see page 82.

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 83 and 83.
EMU25771
Start-in-gear protection
Yamaha outboard motors or Yamaha-approved 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.

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
13
Specifications and requirements

ZMU07735
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-fouling
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.
EMU36353
Emergency equipment
Keep the following items onboard in case
there is trouble with the outboard motor.
A tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pliers,
wrenches (including metric sizes), and
electrical tape.
Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.
An extra engine shut-off cord (lanyard) with
clip.
Spare parts, such as an extra set of spark
plugs.

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.

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! At-
tach 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.

Also, without engine power, the boat
could slow rapidly. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown
forward.
