(USCG), the National Association of
State Boating Law Administrators,
or your local Power Squadron.
SAFETY
INFORMATION
The safe use and operation of this
boat is dependent upon the use of
proper operating techniques, as well
as upon the common sense, good
judgment, and expertise of the operator. Every operator should know
the following requirements before
operating the boat.
l This boat is designed to carry the
operator, up to 9 passengers, and
cargo. Never exceed the maximum
load limit or allow more than 10 persons (or 9 persons if a water skier is
being pulled) to ride in the boat at
one time. Weight distribution affects
performance. Keep weight in the
boat low and evenly distributed from
side-to-side and front-to-back.
Remove any unnecessary cargo
and store it on shore.
l Before operating the boat, read the
Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the
Operation Instruction Card, and all
warning and caution labels on the

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has
regulations which describe minimum
standards of safety. You must comply
with these regulations, which apply to
boats like your boat which are less than
26 feet long.
The following equipment can help
make your boating experience safer
and more enjoyable:
l Mooring fenders and lines.
l Anchor with suitable line (a
“Danforth” type anchor and line that
is at least 6-times the depth of the
water where you will drop anchor
are recommended).
l Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs):
Type I, II, or III as required for all
people on board (see “Operational
Requirements” for more information), plus at least one Type IV
(throwable type).
l Manual-type bilge pump.
l Fire Extinguisher:
At least one B-1 type hand-held
portable fire extinguisher.
l First Aid kit.
l Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.
l Visual Distress Signals:
It is recommended that a USCGapproved pyrotechnic device be
stored on your boat. A mirror can
also be used as an emergency signal. Contact your Yamaha dealer or
the Coast Guard for more information.
l Tool kit with assorted screwdrivers,
pliers, wrenches (including metric
sizes), and electrical tape.
l Oar or paddle (look for one with a
boat hook on the other end).
l Spare parts, such as an extra set of
spark plugs and fuses.
l Sound Signalling Device:
Your boat is equipped with a horn
that can be used to signal other
boats. See “Rules of the Road” for
more information.
l Navigation charts for the waters
where you will be boating.
l Tow rope.
l Navigation Lights:
Your boat is equipped with navigation lights for use between sunset
and sunrise, and during periods of
reduced visibility, such as fog. Be
sure these lights are working and
are turned on when necessary (see
page 2-14 and 3-9 for more information).

SAFETY INFORMATION
CRUISING LIMITATIONS
l Scan constantly for people, objects,
and other watercraft. Be alert for
conditions that limit your visibility or
block your vision of others.
l Operate defensively at safe speeds
and keep a safe distance from people, objects, and other watercraft.
risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis),
facial injuries, and broken legs,
ankles, and other bones. Do not
jump waves or wakes.
l Do not operate the boat in rough
water, bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident causing injury or death. Be
alert to the possibility of bad weather. Take note of weather forecasts
and the prevailing weather conditions before setting out in your boat.
l Never operate in water that is less
than 3 ft. (90 cm) deep, otherwise
you increase your chance of hitting
a submerged object, which could
result in injury.
l Do not follow directly behind other
boats.
l Do not go near others to spray or
splash them with water.
l Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to
avoid you or understand where you
are going.
l Avoid areas with submerged objects
or shallow water.
l Operate within your limits and avoid
aggressive maneuvers to reduce
the risk of loss of control, ejection,
and collision.
l This is a high-performance boat –
not a toy. Sharp turns or jumping
waves or wakes can increase the
1-10
3 FT (90 CM)
l Leave a “float plan” with a responsible person on shore. Tell where you
plan to go and when you plan to
arrive, and provide a description of
your boat. Advise this person if your
plans change and also when you
arrive to prevent false alarms. A
sample float plan is included on
page 6-6.
SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
l All riders must wear a Coast Guard
approved personal flotation device
(PFD).
PFD
l Eye protection is recommended to
keep wind, water, and glare from the
sun out of your eyes while you operate your boat. Restraining straps for
eyewear are made which are
designed to float should your eyewear fall into the water.
l Footwear and gloves are recommended.
l NEVER operate the boat after consuming alcohol or taking drugs.
1-11
1
l For reasons of safety and proper
care of the boat, always perform the
pre-operation checks listed on page
3-4 before operating.
l Passengers must always sit in a
designated seating area, place feet
on the deck, and hold on to the hand
grips when the boat is in motion.
l Always consult your doctor on
whether it is safe for you to ride in
this boat if you are pregnant or in
poor health.
l Do not attempt to modify this boat!
Modifications to your boat may
reduce safety and reliability, and
render the boat unsafe or illegal to
use.
1
SAFETY INFORMATION
l Attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to the PFD and keep it free
from the steering wheel or other
controls so that the engine stops if
the operator accidentally leaves the
helm. Failure to attach the engine
shut-off cord could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.
After operation, remove the engine
shut-off cord and the keys to avoid
accidental starting or unauthorized
use by children or others.
3
l Maintain a safe distance from other
boats or watercraft, and also watch
for boats’ ski ropes or fishing lines.
Obey the “Rules of the Road” (see
page 1-15), and be sure to check
behind you before making a turn.
HAZARD INFORMATION
l Never start the engine or let it run for
any length of time in an enclosed
area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas
that may cause death within a short
time. Always operate the boat in an
open area.
It is also important to have the
engines off when anyone is using
the extended swim step on models
equipped with one because of the
carbon monoxide in the exhaust
gases coming from underneath the
step.

BOAT CHARACTERISTICS
l Scan constantly for swimmers and
stay away from swimming areas.
Swimmers are hard to see and you
could accidentally hit someone in
the water.
l Avoid being hit by another boat! You
should always take responsibility to
watch for other traffic; other boaters
may not be watching for you. If they
do not see you, or you maneuver
more quickly than they expect, you
risk a collision.
1-12
l Jet thrust turns the boat. Moving the
throttle levers completely back to
idle or the Neutral position produces
only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you
will have rapidly decreasing ability to
steer without throttle. You may still
have some turning ability immediately after moving the throttle levers
back to idle, but once the engines
slow down, the boat will no longer
respond to steering wheel input until
you apply throttle again or you reach
a trolling speed. Practice turning in
SAFETY INFORMATION
an open area without obstructions
until you have a good feel for the
maneuver.
l This Yamaha Boat is water-jet propelled. The pumps are directly connected to the engines. This means
that the jet thrust will produce some
movement whenever the engines
are running. The boat has a “neutral” position, but since the boat is
always producing thrust while the
engines are running, some forward
or reverse movement may occur.
l Do not use the reverse function to
slow down or stop the boat as it
could cause you to lose control, be
ejected, or impact the steering
wheel or other parts of the boat.
This could increase the risk of serious injury. It could also damage the
shift mechanism.
l Reverse can be used to slow down
or stop during slow speed maneuvering, such as when docking. Once
the engine is idling, shift to reverse
and gradually increase engine
speed. Make sure that there are no
obstacles or people behind you
before shifting into reverse.
1
JET THRUST NOZZLES
INTAKE GRATE
l Stop the engines and remove the
clip from the engine shut-off switch
before removing any debris or
weeds, which may have collected
around the jet intakes.
l Never insert any object into the jet
thrust nozzle while the engine is
running. Severe injury or death
could result from coming in contact
with the rotating parts of the jet
pump.
NIGHT OPERATION
l When using your boat before dawn
or after dusk, you must have both
bow and stern lights operating.
When at anchor in the dark, the
stern light must be lit. See page
2-14 for instructions.
l Keep away from the intake grates
while the engine is on. Items such
as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD
straps can become entangled in
moving parts, resulting in severe
injury or drowning.

SAFETY INFORMATION
WATER-SKIING
You can use the boat to tow a water
skier, using the tow cleat provided.
It is the boat operator’s responsibility to
be alert to the safety of the water-skier
and others. Know and follow all state
and local water-skiing regulations in
effect for the waters in which you will be
operating.
The following are some important considerations for minimizing risks while
water-skiing.
l The skier should wear an approved
PFD, preferably a brightly colored
one so boat operators can see the
skier.
apparel such as denim, but does not
include spandex or similar fabrics
like those used in bicycle shorts.
l A second person should be on
board as a spotter to watch the
skier; in most states, it is required by
law. Let the skier direct the operator’s control of speed and direction
with hand signals. The port-side
seat swivels for a backward-facing
observer. Be sure the seat is locked
in place (pg. 2-16) before getting
underway.
l When preparing to pull a skier, operate the boat at the slowest possible
speed until the boat is well away
from the skier and slack in the
towrope is taken up. Make sure that
the rope is not looped around anything.
After checking that the skier is ready
and that there is no traffic or other
obstacles, apply enough throttle to
raise the skier.
l The skier should wear protective
clothing. Severe internal injuries can
occur if water is forced into body
cavities as a result of falling into the
water or while reboarding. Normal
swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into
rectum or vagina. The skier should
wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing
that provides equivalent protection.
Such clothing includes thick, tightly
woven, sturdy, and snug fitting
1-14
l Make smooth, wide turns. The boat
is capable of very sharp turns,
which could exceed the abilities of
the skier. Keep the skier at least
50m (164 ft), about twice the distance of a standard towrope, away
from any potential hazard.
l Be alert to the hazard of the towrope
handle snapping back at the boat
when the skier falls or is unable to
get up on the skis.
SAFETY INFORMATION
RULES OF THE ROAD
Your Yamaha Boat is legally considered
a powerboat. Operation of the boat
must be in accordance with the rules
and regulations governing the waterway on which it is used.
Just as there are rules that apply when
you are driving on streets and highways, there are waterway rules that
apply when you are operating your
boat. These rules are used internationally, and are also enforced by the
United States Coast Guard and local
agencies.You should be aware of these
rules, and follow them whenever you
encounter another vessel on the water.
Several sets of rules prevail according
to geographic location, but are all basically the same as the International
Rules of the Road. The rules presented
here in this Owner’s/Operator’s Manual
are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult
your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary
or Department of Motor Vehicles for a
complete set of rules governing the
waters in which you will be operating
your boat.
STEERING AND SAILING RULES
1
Stand-On Vessel
The vessel with the right-of-way has
the duty to continue its course and
speed, except to avoid an immediate
collision. When you maintain your
direction and speed, the other vessel
will be able to determine how best to
avoid you.
Give-Way Vessel
The vessel which does not have the
right-of-way has the duty to take positive and timely action to stay out of the
way of the stand-on vessel. Normally,
you should not cross in front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should
slow down or change directions briefly
and pass behind the other vessel. You
should always move in such a way that
the operator of the other vessel can
see what you are doing.
The General Prudential Rule regarding
the right-of-way is that if a collision
appears unavoidable, neither boat has
the right-of-way. Both boats must avoid
the collision.
In other words, follow the standard
rules except when a collision will occur
unless both vessels try to avoid each
other. If that is the case, both vessels
become give-way vessels.
Whenever two vessels on the water
meet one another, one vessel has the
right-of-way; it is called the “stand-on”
vessel. The vessel that does not have
the right-of-way is called the “give-way”
or “burdened” vessel. These rules
determine which vessel has the rightof-way, and what each vessel should
do.
1-15
1
SAFETY INFORMATION
RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING
VESSELS
There are three main situations that
you may encounter with other vessels
which could lead to a collision unless
the Steering Rules are followed:
Meeting: you are approaching another
vessel head-on.
Crossing: you are traveling across
another vessel’s path.
Meeting
If you are meeting another power vessel head on, and are close enough to
run the risk of collision, neither of you
has the right-of-way! Both of you
should alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel
on your port (left) side. This rule does
not apply if both of you will clear one
another if you continue on your set
course and speed.
Overtaking: you are passing or being
passed by another vessel.
In the following illustration, your boat is
in the center. You should give the rightof-way to any vessels shown in the
white area (you are the give-way vessel). Any vessels in the shaded area
must yield to you (they are the give-way
vessels). Both you and the meeting
vessel must alter course to avoid each
other.
1-16
Crossing
When two power-driven vessels are
crossing each other’s path close
enough to run the risk of collision, the
vessel which has the other on the starboard (right) side must keep out of the
way of the other. If the other vessel is
on your starboard (right) side, you must
keep out of its way; you are the giveway vessel. If the other vessel is on
your port (left) side, remember that you
should maintain course and direction,
provided the other vessel gives you the
right-of-way, as it should.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you
are the give-way vessel. This means
that the other vessel is expected to
maintain its course and speed. You
must stay out of its way until you are
clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is
passing you, you should maintain your
speed and direction so that the other
vessel can steer itself around you.
GIVE-WAY
GIVE-WAY
VESSEL
VESSEL
1
Narrow Channels and Bends
When navigating in narrow channels,
you should keep to the right when it is
safe and practical to do so. If the operator of a power-driven vessel is preparing to go around a bend that may
obstruct the view of other water vessels, the operator should sound a prolonged blast of four to six seconds on
the horn. If another vessel is around
the bend, it too should sound the horn.
Even if no reply is heard, however, the
vessel should still proceed around the
bend with caution.
Fishing Vessel Right-of-Way
All vessels fishing with nets, lines or
trawls are considered to be “fishing
vessels” under the International Rules.
Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fishing vessels
have the right-of-way regardless of
position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.
Sailing Vessel Right-of-Way
Sailing vessels should normally be
given the right-of-way. The exceptions
to this are:
1. When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power-driven vessel, the
power-driven vessel has the rightof-way.
OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONS
There are three other rules you should
be aware of when operating your boat
around other vessels.
1-17
2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of
any fishing vessel.
3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel
should not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel that
can navigate only in such a channel.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Reading Buoys and Other Markers
The waters of the United States are
marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. Simply put,
buoys and markers have an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers, and
lights to show which side of the buoy a
boater should pass on when navigating
in a particular direction. The markings
on these buoys are oriented from the
perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the
harbor). Red buoys are passed on your
starboard (right) side when proceeding
from open water into port, and black
buoys are to your port (left) side. An
easy way to remember the meaning of
the colors is the phrase “red right
returning.” When navigating out of the
harbor, your position with respect to the
buoys should be reversed; red buoys
should be to port and black buoys to
starboard.
Many bodies of water used by boaters
are entirely within the boundaries of a
particular state. The Uniform State
Waterway Marking System has been
devised for these waters.
This system uses buoys and signs with
distinctive shapes and colors to show
regulatory or advisory information.
These markers are white with black letters and orange borders. They signify
speed zones, restricted areas, danger
areas, and general information.
Remember, markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local
boating authorities before riding your
boat in unfamiliar waters.

SAFETY INFORMATION
ACCIDENT
REPORTING
ENJOY YOUR BOAT
RESPONSIBLY
Boat operators are required by law to
file a Boating Accident Report with their
state boating law enforcement agency
if their boat is involved in any of the following accidents:
1. There is loss of life or probable loss
of life.
2. There is personal injury which
requires medical attention beyond
first aid.
3. There is damage to boats or other
property which exceeds $500.00.
You share the areas you enjoy when
operating your boat with others and
with nature. So your enjoyment
includes a responsibility to treat these
other people, and the lands, waters,
and wildlife with respect and courtesy.
4. There is complete loss of a boat.
Contact local law enforcement personnel if a report is necessary.
Whenever and wherever you are boating, think of yourself as the guest of
those around you. Remember, for
example, that the sound of your boat
may be music to you, but it could be
just noise to others. And the exciting
splash of your wake can make waves
others won't enjoy. Avoid riding close to
shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting
areas or other wildlife areas, and keep
a respectful distance from fishermen,
other boats, swimmers, and populated
beaches. When travel in areas like
these is unavoidable, operate slowly
and obey all laws.
Remember that pollution can be harmful to the environment. Do not refuel or
add oil where a spill could cause damage to nature. And keep your surroundings pleasant for the people and wildlife
that share the waterways: don't litter!
When you go boating responsibly, with
respect and courtesy for others, you
help ensure that our waterways stay
open for the enjoyment of a variety of
recreational opportunities.

will lock into place when the wheel is
moved into one of the three available
positions.
1 Steering wheel
Your boat can be steered by turning the
steering wheel the same direction you
wish to travel, to the right or left. When
the wheel is turned, the angle of the jet
(output) nozzles at the rear of the craft
is changed, and the change in direction
of the nozzles changes the direction of
the boat accordingly. Since the strength
of the jet thrust determines the speed
and direction of a turn, the throttle must
always be opened above idle when
attempting a turn, except at trolling
speed.
WARNING
Because boats steer from the stern
(rear), the stern of the boat swings out
in the opposite direction of your turn. If
you turn to the starboard (right), for
example, the stern of the boat will
swing to the left. Keep this in mind
when navigating near a person in the
water, such as a down skier, or an
obstacle, such as a dock.
2-5
•
Never touch the tilt lever during
operation, otherwise the steering
wheel could suddenly change
position, which may lead to an
accident.
•
Be sure the steering wheel is
locked in position after adjustment. If the steering wheel is not
locked in position, it may suddenly change position during operation, which may lead to an
accident.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
WARNING
ENGINE SHUT-OFF SWITCH
l Always attach the engine shut-off
cord to your personal flotation
device (PFD) BEFORE starting
the engines. Failure to attach the
cord could result in a runaway
boat if the operator is ejected.
l Do not attach the cord to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route
the cord in such a way that it
could become entangled, preventing it from functioning.
l Avoid accidentally pulling the
cord during normal operation.
Once the engines have stopped
you have no steering control of
the boat which could result in an
accident. Also, without engine
power,
the boat could slow rapid86 97 10

ly from planing speed. This could
916 19

18
people and objects in the

18 19cause
20
boat to be thrown forward, which
1928 20 29 30
26 27 28 could
29 30cause injury.
The clip on the end of the engine shutoff cord must be attached to the engine
shut-off switch for the engines to run.
The cord must be attached to a secure
place on the operator’s personal flotation device (PFD). Should the operator
fall overboard or leave the helm, the
cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to both engines. This will prevent
the boat from running away under
power.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
OFF:
Ignition circuits are switched off. The
engine cannot be started but other
switches will operate. (The key can be
removed.)
ON:
Ignition circuits are switched on (The
key cannot be removed).
START:
The starter motor will turn to start the
engine. (When the key is released, it
returns automatically to “ON.”)
NOTE:
• The engine will not start when the
engine shut-off cord clip is removed
from the engine stop switch. The
starter motor will turn over without
the cord attached.
• The ignition switch will not operate
(the starter motor will not turn over)
if the battery switch in the battery
compartment is turned to the off
position. See page 4-3 for more
information.
THROTTLE/SHIFT LEVERS
2
WARNING
Before starting the engine, check the
operation of each engine’s throttle/
shift lever. It should move smoothly
through the full range of operation.
Otherwise, there could be loss of
control and an accident.
A separate lever for each engine controls both throttle and shifting. In normal
operation, the levers are moved together. Moving the levers forward from
Neutral shifts into the Forward position
and then, as the lever is moved farther,
accelerates the engines for more thrust.
Moving the levers back from Neutral
shifts into the Reverse position and
then, as the lever is moved farther,
accelerates the engines for more thrust.
The lever must be moved about 35°
from Neutral before Forward or Reverse
engages and the engine starts to accelerate.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
l Do not shift into Reverse while
traveling at planing speeds. Loss
of control, boat swamping, or
damage to the boat could occur.
NOTE: This boat is equipped with
“start-in-gear” protection. The engines
will not start unless the levers are in the
Neutral position.
Free Accelerator
This control is equipped with a “Free
Accelerator” button which will allow
engines to be accelerated with the jet
pump gates in the Neutral position.
Neutral
The jet pump gates are dropped down
part way over the jet nozzles. Some jet
thrust is to the rear and some jet thrust
is redirected forward. This balance of
thrust acts like “neutral” to keep the
boat from moving.
WARNING
The boat will start moving as if it
were in Forward or Reverse if engine
speed is increased above idle in
Neutral. Use the Free Accelerator
only if necessary and be prepared
for the possibility of boat movement.
The shift lever controls the direction of
travel.
The drive line on the boat is direct
drive, so jet thrust is always being produced while the engines are running.
The direction of the boat is controlled
by jet pump gates which direct the flow
of the jet thrust as follows:
WARNING
Leave the throttles in the idle position when Neutral is selected. The
boat will start moving as if it was in
Forward or Reverse if engine speed
is increased above idle in Neutral.
Forward
The jet pump gates are lifted all the
way up. All jet thrust is to the rear,
which moves the boat forward.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
GAUGES
Reverse
The jet pump gates are dropped all the
way down over the jet nozzles. Jet thrust
is redirected toward the bow of the boat,
which moves the boat backward.

The boat has two tachometers 2
which display engine rpm. The one
on the left is for the port engine. The
one on the right is for the starboard
engine. For cruising, adjust the
throttle levers so both engines are
running at the same rpm.

harbors, channels, or other areas posted with low speed limits as “no-wake
zones.”
To cancel the No-Wake Mode, do any
of the following:
No-Wake Mode can be engaged when
the throttles are at idle speed in
Forward, Neutral, or Reverse. Engine
speed will be set at 2,400 rpm for convenient, no-wake maneuvering.
To set No-Wake Mode:
Press both gray No-Wake Mode buttons simultaneously until the three
symbols in each tachometer start blinking.
Press both No-Wake Mode buttons
again .
Move the accelerator levers to a faster
engine speed.
Shut off the engines with the key or by
using the engine stop switch lanyard.
WARNING
Once the engines have stopped, you
have NO STEERING CONTROL over
the boat. You could collide with
another boat, a dock, or other obstacle.

eyes, get immediate medical
attention.
l If any gasoline spills onto your
skin, immediately wash with soap
and water. Change clothing if
gasoline spills on it.
GASOLINE
Use regular unleaded 87 octane (R+M
÷ 2) gasoline.
WARNING
CAUTION:
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
Use only fresh gasoline that has
been stored in clean containers.
l Do not smoke when refueling,
and keep away from sparks,
flames, or other sources of ignition.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if ethanol content
does not exceed 10% and the fuel
meets minimum octane ratings.
Gasohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause fuel system damage or
engine performance problems.
l Stop engines and turn ignition
keys to Off before refueling.
l Refuel in a well-ventilated area. If
the boat is in the water, be sure it
is securely moored to the fueling
dock. All passengers must be out
of the boat during refueling.
l Take care not to spill gasoline. If
gasoline spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. Always
properly dispose of gasolinesoaked rags.
Ring Free Fuel Additive
Gasoline is a precise blend of many different substances, each chosen to give
certain characteristics. Gasoline blends
have been changing in recent years in
response to concerns about pollution
and resulting emissions regulations.
One of the most obvious changes has
been the elimination of lead from fuels.
l Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
Stop filling when the fuel level
just reaches the bottom of the
filler tube. Do not fill up the filler
tube because fuel expands as it
warms up and could overflow.
As gasoline has changed, the amount
of additives such as aromatics and oxygenates has increased. These additives are important for the engines in
passenger cars, but they can have
detrimental effects in marine engines.
l Tighten the filler cap securely
after refueling.
l If you should swallow some
gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get gasoline in your
3-1
3
OPERATION
Stop filling when the fuel just becomes
visible in the bottom of the filler tube.
Do not “top off” the tank, because
gasoline could spill out. Be sure to
tighten the cap securely.
While many additives available may
reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends
the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive,
available from your Yamaha dealer.
Ring Free has repeatedly proven its
ability to clean combustion deposits
from inside the engine, notably in the
critical piston-ring-land area, and fuel
system components. Follow product
labeling for use instructions.
CAUTION:
Be careful when refueling. Avoid
getting water or other contaminants
in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel
can cause poor running or engine
damage.
ENGINE OIL
Recommended oil: YAMALUBE 4-M. If
YAMALUBE 4-M is not available,
another 10W-30, 4-cycle engine oil
with an API rating of SE, SF, SG, SH,
or SJ.
Fuel tank capacity: 50 US gal. (189 lit)
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the oil level in both engines
before each use. Check the oil on each
engine when cold to be sure there is
enough oil to run the engine.
GASOLINE
AND ENGINE OIL
FILLING
CAUTION:
Be sure the engine has enough oil
but do not overfill. If there is too little oil, the engine can be damaged. If
there is too much oil, the air filter
can become saturated with oil, permanently damaging the filter and
reducing engine performance.
Follow the checking procedure carefully.
FILLING THE GASOLINE TANK
Open the fuel tank filler cap, and slowly add fuel to the fuel tank. Be careful
not to spill fuel or overfill the tank.
NOTE:
• Each engine has an oil-tank system.
It is normal for the oil level to vary
depending upon whether the engine
is cold or at operating temperature.
•
3-2
Adding 1 US qt. (0.95 l) of oil will
raise the oil level on the dipstick by
approximately 2.2 in. (56 mm).
OPERATION
“L” mark. Adding more oil could
result in an overfilled engine once it
warms up.
To check oil, be sure the boat is level,
either in the water or on the trailer.
Open the engine compartment by
pulling up on the two latches located
under the front of the rear seat.

4) Repeat for the other engine.
Warm Engine Check
1
1) Be sure the engine is warmed to
operating temperature.
NOTE: The engines are at the proper
operating temperature after they have
been run for 5 minutes or more at
7,000 rpm or above and then at a
trolling speed for 2 to 3 minutes. If the
boat is on the trailer, run the engine
with the flush attachment at an idle
speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or at least 13
minutes if air temperature is 59° F
(15°C) or colder.
3
2) Remove the oil tank filler cap 1,
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag,
and then screw the cap on securely.
Remove the cap again and check
the oil level.
3) The oil level should be between the
minimum and maximum level
marks. If the level is below the “L”
mark 2, then add only enough oil to
raise the level above the “L” mark
but never above the “F” mark 3.
Cold Engine Check
1) Remove the oil tank filler cap 1,
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag,
and then screw the cap on securely.
Remove the cap again and check
the oil level.
4) Repeat for the other engine.
CAUTION:
2) If the level is at least at the minimum
level “L” mark 2 on the dipstick, but
less than the “F” mark 3, the
engine can be operated.
If the level is above the “F” mark, the
engine is overfilled. Consult a
Yamaha dealer to have oil extracted
from the engine to avoid damage.
3) If oil must be added, add just
enough oil to raise the level to the

WARNING
3 FT (90 CM)
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY
RESULT IF YOU IGNORE ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING:
l Before operating your boat,
become familiar with all controls.
Consult your Yamaha dealer
about any control or function you
do not fully understand.
l Attach the engine shut-off switch
cord to your personal flotation
device before operating. Failure
to attach cord could result in a
runaway boat if operator is
ejected.
l Check throttle, shift, and steering
for proper operation before starting the engine.
l Shift into Neutral before starting
engines.
1) Always make sure the boat is
launched and used in waters that
are free from weeds and debris, and
at least 3 ft. (90 cm) deep.
WARNING
Never operate in water that is less
than 3 ft. (90 cm) deep. You increase
your chance of hitting an underwater obstacle. You could be injured.
Pebbles or sand can also be sucked
into the jet (water) intake, damaging
the impeller.
l Never start the engine or let it run
any length of time in an enclosed
area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of
consciousness and death within
a short time. Always operate the
boat in an open area.
CAUTION:
There is a hull drain plug at the bottom of the stern in the center. Be
sure it is securely tightened before
launching the boat.

NOTE:
l Be sure the shift lever is put in the
Neutral position or the starter motor
will not operate.
l On this boat, the engines are connected directly to the drive unit.
Starting either engine generates
some thrust immediately. Only
enough throttle should be applied to
keep the engine at a fast enough
idle to stay running.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the boat with just
one engine running. Severe engine
damage could result because water
can flood the non-operating engine
through the cooling water intake. If
single-engine operation is unavoidable, operate the boat at a “no wake”
speed only.
WARNING
Once the engines have stopped,
you have NO STEERING CONTROL
over the boat. You could collide with
another boat, a dock, or other
obstacle.
NOTE:
l Remove the ignition keys and the
engine stop switch lanyard if the
boat will be left unattended.
l Stopping the engines immediately
after operating at high rpm is not
recommended. Let the engines cool
off at idle or low speed for a few
minutes first.

OPERATION
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
The engine break-in period is essential
to allow the various components of the
engine to wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
This ensures proper performance and
promotes longer component life.
1) Launch the boat and start the
engine (See page 3-13).
2) For the first 5 minutes, run the
engine at trolling speed. For the 30
minutes of operation after that, keep
the engine speed below 5,000 rpm.
For the hour of operation after that,
keep the engine speed below 8,000
rpm.
3) Proceed with normal operation.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BOAT
Know and follow U.S. Coast Guard,
state, and local laws when operating
your boat.
Operating your boat requires skills
acquired through practice over a period
of time. Take the time to learn the basic
techniques well before attempting
more difficult maneuvers.
Select a wide area to learn in, where
visibility is good and other boat traffic is
light. Keep the proper distance from
other boats and vehicles. Do not operate where people are swimming.
Boating with your new boat can be a
very enjoyable activity, providing you
with hours of pleasure. But it is essential to familiarize yourself with the operation of the boat to achieve the skill
necessary to enjoy boating safely.
Before operating this boat, read this
Owner’s Manual, the Operation
Instruction Card, and all Warning and
Caution labels on the boat. Pay particular attention to the safety information
in Chapter 1. Read all warning and
caution labels on your boat.
Always attach the engine stop switch
lanyard to your personal flotation
device before operating.
This boat is designed to carry one
operator and up to nine passengers, as
long as the total weight of people and
cargo does not exceed 1800 lb. (816
kg). Never have more than ten people
in the boat.
LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR
BOAT
Before boating, always perform the
Pre-Operation Checks listed on page
3-4. The short time spent checking the
machine’s condition will reward you
with added safety and a more reliable
boat.
You and all other passengers must
always wear a U.S. Coast Guardapproved personal flotation device
when riding in the boat. You should
consider wearing water shoes, eye protection, gloves, and other protective
apparel. Water sports increase your
risk of injury from contact with your
boat, other vessels, docks, rocks, or
coral.
A water-skier should wear protective
clothing. Severe internal injuries can
occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water
or while reboarding. Normal swimwear
does not adequately protect against
forceful water entry into rectum or vagina. The skier should wear a wetsuit
bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection. Such clothing includes
thick, tightly woven, sturdy, and snug
fitting apparel such as denim, but does
not include spandex or similar fabrics
like those used in bicycle shorts.
Grip the wheel firmly and keep both
feet on the deck when driving the boat.
3-17

OPERATION
TURNING THE BOAT
Steering control depends on the combination of steering wheel position and
the amount of throttle.
Water sucked in through the intake
grate is pressurized by the impeller in
the jet pump. As the pressurized water
is expelled from the pump through the
jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to
move and steer the boat. The higher
the engine speed, the more thrust is
produced.
The amount of jet thrust, in addition to
the position of the steering wheel,
determines how sharply you turn.
D. If the engines are stopped, there is
no thrust. The boat will go straight
even though the steering wheel is
turned.
YOU NEED THROTTLE TO STEER.
A
B
A. More throttle produces high thrust,
so the boat will turn more sharply.
B. Less throttle produces low thrust, so
the boat will turn more gradually.
C. Pulling the levers back to idle or
Neutral produces only minimum
thrust. If you are traveling at speeds
above trolling, you will have rapidly
decreasing ability to steer without
throttle. You may still have some
turning ability immediately after
pulling the throttles back to idle, but
one the engine slows down, the
boat will no longer respond to steering wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling
speed.
At trolling speed, the boat can be
turned gradually by steering wheel
position alone using just the amount
of thrust available at engine idle.

WARNING
The boat is not equipped with a separate braking system. It is stopped by
water resistance after the throttle
levers are moved back to idle. From full
speed, the boat stops in approximately
346 ft. (105.5 m) after the throttle is
moved back to idle. The stopping distance varies depending on gross
weight, water surface conditions, and
wind direction. The stated straight-line
stopping distance should be used for a
reference. The boat slows down as
soon as the throttle levers are returned
to idle but will coast for a distance
before fully stopping. If you are not sure
you can stop in time before hitting an
obstacle, apply throttle and turn in
another direction.
WARNING
You will lose steering control if you
completely pull the throttle levers
back to idle.
DOCKING
1) Make sure no obstructions, boats or
swimmers are close to the boat.
Come to a stop before you reach
the dock.
3-21
Do not use your hand, arm, or other
part of your body to try to keep the
boat from hitting the dock.You could
be injured if the boat pushes against
the dock.
Wind or current pushing boat away
from dock:
Slowly approach the dock at about a
45° angle. Secure the bow to the dock,
then use engine thrust or a boat hook
to gently move the stern to the dock.
WIND OR CURRENT

OPERATION
Wind or current pushing boat
toward dock:
WIND OR CURRENT
2) When the stern is out a few feet,
release the bow mooring then steer
in the direction you want the bow to
move. Open the throttle slightly and
begin to move away from the dock.
BEACHING
1) Make sure no obstructions, boats or
swimmers are near the beach.
Slowly maneuver to a shallow angle
and allow the boat to move toward the
dock.
No wind or current:
Approach the dock at a shallow angle.
Secure the bow to the dock, then use
engine thrust or a boat hook to gently
move the stern to the dock.
LEAVING A DOCK
Because boats steer from the stern, the
stern first moves in the direction opposite your desired turn. It is especially
important to understand this characteristic when leaving a dock. If you simply
turn the wheel to steer the bow away
from the dock, as you would when driving a car out of a parking space, you
will drive the stern of the boat into the
dock. Following is a basic maneuvering
technique which can be used in most
circumstances.
1) With engines idling and the bow still
moored to the dock, turn the steering wheel toward the dock. This will
start to move the stern of the boat
away from the dock.
3-22
2) Approach the beach slowly and stop
the engines when the water is about
3 ft. (90 cm) deep. Remember: turning is impossible with the engine
stopped.
3) Get out of the boat and pull the bow
up on the beach.
4) When leaving the beach, push the
boat out into water that is at least 3
ft. (90 cm) deep before starting the
engines.
CAUTION:
● Small pebbles, sand, seaweed,
and other debris can be ingested
into the jet intake and impair or
damage the impeller. Always stop
the engines before beaching the
boat. Be sure the boat is in water
3 ft. (90 cm) deep before starting
the engines again.
● Do not beach the boat on rocky
beaches. The hull gelcoat and
exposed pump housings can be
damaged.
● Pay attention to shifts in tides.
Beaching at high tide may make it
impossible to re-launch the boat
if the tide recedes.
OPERATION
ANCHORING
WARNING
Always anchor from the bow.
Anchoring from the stern will make
the boat unsteady. A strong current
can pull a stern-anchored boat
underwater.
Select an anchor appropriate for your
boat and water conditions. A “danforth”
(or fluke) type anchor is suitable for
most applications; your dealer can help
you choose an anchor.
1) Make sure the anchor line is securely tied to the anchor and to the bow
eye.
2) Move the boat to the spot where you
want to lower the anchor, heading
the boat into the wind or current.
Stop the boat, then lower the anchor
until it hits bottom.
3
4) Pull on the line to be sure the
anchor is holding. Also, periodically
check your boat’s position against
the shoreline to make sure it is not
drifting and dragging the anchor.
Reset if necessary.
5) To pull in (“weigh”) the anchor, start
the engines and move forward,
keeping tension on the line as you
pull it in. When the anchor line is
straight up and down, pull hard to lift
the anchor from the bottom material.
6) If the anchor is stuck on the bottom,
try this: Let out a few feet of anchor
line and secure the line to the boat,
again. Slowly maneuver the boat
around the anchor until the anchor
pulls loose. Keep the line taut during
this procedure.
3) While keeping tension on the line,
slowly back up the boat until you
have let out line that is 4 to 6 times
the depth of the water. For example,
if you are anchoring in 10 feet of
water, let out 40 to 60 feet of line.
Secure the line.
3-23

OPERATION
CROSSING WAKES AND SWELLS
You will not always have flat, smooth
water. There will be swells and wakes
from other boats, etc.
SHARP WAKES
The best way to cross wakes and
swells is with the least jolt to you and
the boat. Small swells are not as difficult to cross as larger swells or wakes.
Crossing a sharp wake gives more of a
jolt than a broad swell.
To cross a wake or swell, change your
speed and choose the angle at which
you cross the wake or swell. Usually, a
slower speed and “quartering” the wake
(crossing at an angle) will reduce the
jolt.
Two other things you may notice. The
first is that crossing a group of wakes or
swells is not as easy or smooth as
crossing just one wake. The second is
that when you quarter the wake or swell
the boat will try to steer away from the
wake or swell. When crossing at a 45°
angle, you may not notice this, but at a
smaller angle, say 10°, it can be very
strong. Be prepared to steer and balance as necessary.

POST-OPERATION
CHECKS
POST-OPERATION CHECKS
These post-operation procedures are
developed to help preserve the longterm appearance and reliability of your
boat. Perform these procedures as
soon as possible after the boat is
loaded back on the trailer after the
day’s use.
Some owners plan to moor their boat
seasonally, rather than keeping it on
the trailer between uses. The procedures described in this section may not
be possible if your boat is moored in
the water. Boats which are moored will
require periodic removal from the water
to clean the hull and jet pump area. The
frequency of this maintenance will
depend upon whether the water is salt
or fresh, as well as other local water
conditions.
CAUTION:
Leaving the boat in the water for
extended periods will accelerate the
rate of normal deterioration of the jet
pump components and hull finish.
Stray electrical voltage in the water,
marine organisms, and saltwater
corrosion are a few of the conditions
that can adversely affect the life of
many boat components.
3
1) After putting the boat on the trailer,
flush cooling system on each
engine to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt,
sand, or dirt. Refer to page 4-1 for
the cooling system flushing procedure.
2) Drain residual water from the
exhaust system by starting the
engine, then alternately pushing the
control lever up to half throttle and
back to idle for 10 to 15 seconds.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine at full throttle
or for more than 15 seconds while
the boat is out of the water. The
engine may overheat and/or seize.
3) Wash down the hull, helm, and both
jet drive units with fresh water.
4) Open the rear platform hatch, and
check for any water pooled on top of
the clean-out port caps. If water is
found, remove the caps, let water
drain, then reinstall the caps. See
Page 5-5 for more information.
3-25
3
OPERATION
5) Remove hull drain plug 1 and the
engine compartment drain plugs 2.
Rinse the engine compartment with
a small amount of fresh water. Be
careful not to get water on the carburetor or electrical components.
Allow any water in the bilge to drain
out. After the water has drained,
wipe the engine compartment and
bilge with dry rags. Reinstall all
drain plugs.
NOTE: This boat is equipped with an
electric bilge pump that automatically
removes excess water from the bilge
while you are underway. However,
some residual water remains that must
be drained by removing the drain plug.

OPERATION
TRAILERING
WARNING
Avoid accident and injury from
improper trailering:
l The trailer must be matched for
the boat’s weight and hull.
l The towing vehicle must have the
capacity of pulling the load.
Pulling a load that exceeds the
towing capacity may cause loss
of control.
l Be sure the boat is secured to the
trailer and the trailer is properly
hitched to the towing vehicle
before towing.
A trailer is provided as standard equipment with your boat. If you need to
obtain another trailer, choose one that
is manufactured to carry a boat of the
size and weight of your boat. Check the
certification label on the left forward
side of the trailer. This label is required
to show the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), which is the load carrying capacity of the trailer plus the
trailer’s weight. Be sure that the total
weight of your boat, any cargo, and the
trailer weight itself does not exceed the
GVWR.
3
HITCH
The trailer hitch ball must match the
size of the socket on the trailer hitch
coupler. Hitches are divided into classes that specify the gross trailer weight
(GTW) and the maximum tongue
weight. Always use a hitch rated for the
same or higher class. Use a bolted-on
or welded-on hitch; clamp-on bumper
hitches are not recommended. Be sure
the trailer hitch’s release handle is
latched with the lock pin installed
before towing.
Use safety chains between the towing
vehicle and the trailer so the trailer will
not detach completely from the towing
vehicle if it accidentally comes loose
from the hitch ball. Crisscross the
chains under the trailer tongue so the
tongue will not hit the road surface if it
falls loose. Rig the chains as tightly as
possible while allowing just enough
slack to permit tight turns.
Be sure the tongue weight (vertical
weight on the hitch point) is correct.
Generally, 5% to 10% of the combined
weight of the boat and trailer should be
on the tongue. Too much or too little
weight can cause difficult steering or
trailer swaying.
TRAILERING CHECKLIST
l Check your state laws to be sure
your trailer meets all regulations,
such as proper licensing, brake,
axle load, and safety chain requirements.
l Check trailer for any loose fasteners
or damaged parts.
l Check tires for proper inflation.
3-27
3
OPERATION
l Check wheel bearings and wheel
lug nuts before each trip.
l Check tail, brake, and turn signal
lights for proper operation.
l Secure the bow of the boat to the
trailer with the winch line and also
with the chain. Secure the stern
cleats to the trailer with tie-downs.
a set of spare wheel bearings,
seals, and races.
l When making a turn, do not cut corners. The trailer has a smaller turning circle so it turns more sharply
around the corner than the towing
vehicle.
l Before backing your trailer into the
water, disconnect the light plug from
the towing vehicle. This will reduce
the likelihood of the lights blowing
out when submerged.
BACKING YOUR TRAILER
It takes practice to back a trailer successfully. If you are not familiar backing
up with a trailer, practice first in an
open area away from obstacles.
l Take down and store the bimini top,
if used. The top is not designed to
stay unsecured on the boat at highway speeds. See page 3-12.
l Carry a spare tire for the trailer,
along with sufficient tools to change
the tire.
l While traveling, check the wheel
hubs on the trailer whenever you
park. If the hub feels abnormally
hot, have the bearing inspected
before continuing your trip. On
longer trips, it is a good idea to carry
Keep the following points in mind:
l Back slowly. Make steering adjustments in small steps.
l Turn the towing vehicle’s wheels
opposite the direction you want the
trailer to go.
l After the trailer begins moving, turn
the towing vehicle to follow it.
l Have a second person stand by to
help direct you with hand signals.

OPERATION
LAUNCHING
3
5) Remove the bow line from the bow
eye.
6) Back the trailer farther into the water
until just the tops of the fenders
show, then reset the parking brake.
Board the boat and start it. If possible, remain on the trailer until the
engines are warm and are responding to throttle.
As a courtesy to other boaters, prepare
your boat for launching before using the
ramp.
Each launch may have particular differences, such as ramp angle, prevailing
wind, waves, and water currents. If
possible, watch a couple of boaters
launch their boats first to notice any
problems. While every boater develops
a preferred launch procedure, here is a
recommended general procedure:
1) Perform the Pre-Operation Checks
shown on page 3-4 that can be performed on land, including operating
the blower for at least 4 minutes.
2) Remove all trailering tie-down lines
from the boat and attach your docking lines and fenders, if used.
3) Disconnect the trailer lights from the
towing vehicle.
4) Back the trailer down the ramp as
close to 90° to the shoreline as you
can. If possible, have a second person stand aside as an observer.
Stop when the wheels are at least
halfway submerged. Set the parking
brake.
7) Back the boat out into the water,
watching carefully for people, other
boats, or obstacles.
LOADING
1) Disconnect the trailer lights from the
towing vehicle.
2) Back the trailer down the ramp as
close to 90° to the shoreline as you
can. If possible, have a second person act as an observer while standing to the side of the boat. Stop
when the tops of the trailer’s fenders
are about 3 inches above the waterline.
3) With the boat moving at the slowest
idle speed, guide the boat onto the
support rails. Use throttle only if necessary for steering ability.
WARNING
Using too much throttle can cause
the boat to jump over the front of the
trailer which can result in injury to
the boat operator and bystanders.
Use only enough throttle to maneuver the boat into the correct position.
3-29
3
OPERATION
4) Make sure the boat is centered on
the support rails and is headed
straight for the bow stop (bumper
board). Ease the boat forward until
the bow rests against the bow stop.
5) Attach and tighten the winch line.
CAUTION:
l The winch line is not designed to
pull the boat onto the trailer.
l The winch line should not be the
only line securing the bow during
trailering. Use the chain along
with the winch to secure the boat
to the trailer.
6) Pull the trailer up the ramp out of the
way of other boaters. Attach the bow
and stern tie-downs. Reconnect the
trailer lights.
7) Follow the Post-Operation Checks
on page 3-25.
LIFTING
CAUTION:
Do not attach lifting cables to the
bow eye, cleats, water-ski tow eye,
or grab handles. Serious damage to
the boat can occur. Use only a sling
designed specifically for lifting
boats.
If you need to remove the boat from the
water without a trailer, use these guidelines:
l Use a sling-type lifting mechanism
designed for lifting boats. The sling
should be covered with a protective
material to prevent damage to the
hull gelcoat.
l Use spreader bars to avoid side
stress to the hull that may cause
cracks in the gelcoat and fiberglass.
l Attach guidelines to the bow eye
and stern tie-down cleats to control
movement of the boat during lifting.
l Remove all people and all cargo
from the boat. Drain any excess
water from the bilge using the bilge
pump.
l Be sure all people are standing
clear, then lift boat slowly and just
far enough to verify that the boat is
securely held and properly balanced. If necessary, lower the boat
again and adjust the slings.
l When ready, lift the boat slowly and
carefully.

FUEL SYSTEM
Top off the fuel tank with fresh fuel,
adding one ounce of Yamaha Fuel
Conditioner and Stabilizer or an equivalent to each gallon of fuel. A full fuel
tank is less likely to allow condensation
to collect in the tank, reducing the
chance of contaminated fuel. Running
the engines with treated fuel during
cooling system flushing will also help
protect the fuel system.
Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt.
1) Open the cap for the engine you are
going to flush. Press the flush kit
garden hose adapter into the flush
hose connector and turn until they
are securely connected.
2) Start the engine, then immediately
turn on the water supply fully.
NOTE: Use of Yamaha Fuel
Conditioner and Stabilizer eliminates
the need to drain the fuel system.
Consult your Yamaha dealer or other
qualified mechanic if the fuel system is
to be drained instead.
CAUTION:
l Never turn on the water before
starting the engine. The water
could flow back through the muffler into the crankcase causing
severe engine damage.
l Be sure to turn on the water
immediately after starting the
engine to prevent engine overheating.
3) Run the engine at a fast idle for 10
to 15 minutes.

engine is not running. The water
could flow back through the muffler
into the crankcase causing severe
engine damage. Do not run the engine
for more than 15 seconds after the
water supply has been turned off to
avoid engine overheating.
1) Open the hood (see page 2-17).
2) Remove the air filter case cover

TOOL KIT
It is advisable always to carry the
Owner's Manual and tool kit with you
whenever you use the boat.
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your boat in the
safest and most efficient condition possible. Safety is an obligation of the boat
owner. The most important points of
boat inspection, adjustment, and lubrication are explained on the following
pages.
NOTE: To protect these materials from
water damage, it would be a good idea
to put them in a waterproof bag. If your
Owner’s Manual is damaged, order a
replacement from a Yamaha Dealer.
The service information included in this
manual is intended to provide you, the
owner, with the necessary information
for completing your own preventive
maintenance and minor repairs. The
tools provided in the owner's tool kit are
sufficient for this purpose, except that a
torque wrench is also necessary for
tightening nuts and bolts properly.
WARNING
l Be sure to turn off the engines
when you perform maintenance
unless otherwise specified.
Otherwise, accident or injury
could result from unexpected
operation, moving parts, or electric shock.
l If the owner is not familiar with
machine servicing, this work
should be done by a Yamaha
dealer or other qualified mechanic. Improperly serviced components could fail or stop operating
correctly, which could result in an
accident.
NOTE: A Service Manual is available
through your Yamaha Dealer for
owner’s who have the mechanical

MAINTENANCE & CARE
SPARK PLUG CLEANING AND
ADJUSTMENT
4
When fitting the plug, always clean the
gasket surface and use a new gasket.
Wipe off any dirt from the threads and
screw in the spark plug to the correct
torque.
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The
condition of the spark plug can indicate
something about the condition of the
engine. For example, if the center electrode porcelain is very white, this could
indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder.
Spark plug torque:
13 Nm (1.3 m-kg, 9.4 ft-lb)
NOTE: Before installing the spark plug
cap, be sure to wipe off any water on
the spark plug or inside the cap. Push
the spark plug cap down until it clicks.
Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the boat to
a Yamaha Boat dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark
plug because heat and deposits will
cause the spark plug to slowly break
down and erode. If electrode erosion
becomes excessive, or if carbon and
other deposits are excessive, you
should replace the spark plug with
another of the correct type.
NOTE: If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug,
a good estimate of the correct torque
(with a new gasket) is 1/4 to 1/2 turn
past finger-tight. Have the spark plug
adjusted to the correct torque as soon
as possible with a torque wrench.
Standard spark plug:
CR9EB
WARNING
When removing or installing a spark
plug, be careful not to damage the
insulator. A damaged insulator could
allow external sparks, which could
lead to explosion or fire.
Before installing the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire
thickness gauge; adjust the gap to
specification if necessary.
Spark plug gap: 0.7~0.8mm
(0.028~0.031 in)

MAINTENANCE & CARE
FUEL SYSTEM INSPECTION
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to check for and
repair any fuel leakage could result
in fire or explosion. A fire or explosion can cause severe injury or
death.
When inspecting the fuel system,
shut off the engine, do not smoke,
and avoid spilling gasoline.
Fuel in hose is pressurized. Fuel can
spray out and cause injury or a fire
hazard if fuel line is disconnected.
Do not attempt to run engine with
fuel line disconnected.
Check the fuel system for leaks,
cracks, or malfunctions. If any problem
is found, consult a Yamaha dealer.
Checking points:
1. Fuel tank leakage
2. Fuel hose joint leakage
3. Fuel hose cracks or other damage
4. Fuel filler clamps and hoses
5. Fuel tank cap (seal) for damage
4-10
The United States Coast Guard requires that all inboard boats like your
boat have visual access to fuel filler
clamps and hoses. The boat has two
access points for this purpose.

One access point is the hatch 1 in the
floor directly in front of the rear seats.
Lift the latch to open the hatch. The
other access point is inside 2 the portside storage compartment. Remove
the seat cushion then look up inside
the compartment to see the fuel filler
hose and clamp.
MAINTENANCE & CARE
FUEL TANK
If the fuel tank needs to be cleaned or
when any water is found in the fuel system, take the boat to your Yamaha dealer for service.
ENGINE OIL
It is recommended to have a Yamaha
dealer change the engine oil. However,
if you choose to change the oil on your
own and you have the special equipment necessary to do so, refer to the
service manual for this boat.
NOTE: Dispose of used oil according to
local regulations.
CAUTION:
WARNING
Engine oil is extremely hot after the
engine is turned off. Coming into
contact with or getting any engine
oil on your clothes could result in
burns.
CAUTION:
•

If oil is leaking or the oil-pressure
warning indicator comes on when
the engine is running, immediately
turn the engine off and have a
Yamaha dealer check the boat.
Continuing to operate under such
conditions could cause severe
engine damage.
Be sure the engine has enough
oil but do not overfill. If there is
too little oil, the engine can be
damaged. If there is too much oil,
the air filter can become saturated with oil, permanently damaging the filter and reducing engine
performance.
Be sure to change the engine oil
after the first 10 hours of operation, and every 100 hours thereafter or at the start of a new
season, otherwise the engine will
wear quickly.
The oil filter should be replaced
every two years or every 200
hours of operation. Have a
Yamaha dealer replace the oil filter when necessary.

JET PUMP CLEAN-OUT
PROCEDURE
WARNING
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY
RESULT IF YOU IGNORE ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING:
● Turn off and remove both ignition
keys, remove lanyard, and wait for
all movement to stop before
removing access port caps.
3) Check that the retaining cord is
securely attached to the cap and
retaining strap. Press the release
button and lift the cap up out of the
port. Set the cap where it cannot be
accidentally knocked overboard.
● Never override interlocks to run
engine with hatch open.
● The impeller has sharp edges. Be
careful when reaching into jet
pump area.
If weeds or debris get caught in the
intake or impeller, cavitation can occur,
and though the engine speed rises, forward thrust will decrease. If this condition is allowed to continue, pump
damage can occur and the engines
may overheat and seize. If there is any
sign that the jet intake or impeller is
clogged with weeds or debris, follow
this cleanout procedure.
4) Remove any weeds or debris from
the drive shaft, impeller, pump housing, and steering nozzle. If you cannot remove the debris, consult your
Yamaha Boat Dealer.
1) Turn off and remove ignition keys,
remove lanyard, and wait for all
movement to stop.
2) Lift the hatch on the rear platform.
5) To reinstall the access port cap, first
clean off any sand or other foreign
matter from the cap or port surfaces.
Insert the cap so that its slot faces
the bow and lines up with the projection in the access port wall.

A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include:
Running the boat out of oil, operating the boat with a broken or damaged part which causes
another part to fail, and so on. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance,
please contact your Yamaha Boat dealer for advice.
Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as transportation due to a failure?
A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the boat itself.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner’s Manual
instead of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s and
Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment
be done by a Yamaha Boat dealer.

Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new boat exactly as
specified in the Owner’s Manual?
A. No. The warranty on a new boat cannot be “voided” or “cancelled.” However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the Owner’s Manual, that
failure may not be covered under warranty.
Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
A. Each Yamaha Boat dealer is expected to:
1. Completely set up each new boat before sale.
2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the
time of sale, and upon your request at any later date. In addition, each Yamaha Boat dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.
Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners?
A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to
be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer for the policy to remain
effective.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
If your boat requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha Boat dealer within the United States. Be sure to bring your warranty registration card or other valid proof of the
original date of purchase. If a question or problem arises regarding warranty, first contact the
owner of the dealership. Since all warranty matters are handled at the dealer level, this person is
in the best position to help you. If you are still not satisfied and require additional assistance,

first purchasers against the possibility of a safety-related defect and recall. This list is compiled

the time of your purchase.
If you should move after you have purchased your new boat, please advise us of your new
address by sending a postcard listing your Yamaha model name, engine number, dealer number
[or dealer’s name] as it is shown on your warranty card, your name and new mailing address.

CONSUMER INFORMATION & INDEX
your Yamaha needs covered service:
replacement vehicle rental, emergency
towing, phone calls, even food and lodging
when you are away from home. This
superb coverage goes into effect when
you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any
warranty repairs as well as covered repairs
during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.
Keep your Yamaha Boat protected even after
the 1-year warranty coverage provisions
expire with genuine Yamaha Extended
Service (Y.E.S.).
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by
Yamaha Motor Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You get uninterrupted
factory-backed coverage for extra peace of
mind.
● Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.
● Y.E.S. is flexible.You choose the plan that’s
right for you: 12 months, 24 months, or 36
months beyond the 1-year warranty coverage period. That means you can get up to
5 years of coverage on the power train,
controls, and other components to match
the comforting 5-year standard protection
on the hull.
● Y.E.S. coverage is transferrable to a new
owner if you sell or trade-in. That can
make your Yamaha Boat much more valuable!
This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only
available to Yamaha owners like you, and only
while your Yamaha is still within the first year
of the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So
visit your authorized Yamaha dealer to get all
the facts. He can show you how easy it is to
protect your investment with Yamaha
Extended Service. We urge you to act now.
You’ll get the excellent benefits of TRIP coverage right away, and you’ll rest easy knowing
you’ll have strong factory-backed protection
even after your Yamaha Limited Warranty
expires. See your dealer today!
● Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the
same Yamaha people who handle your
warranty – and it shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no limitations on hours of use. Coverage isn’t
limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train”
like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers
manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your
Yamaha dealer to see how comforting
uninterrupted factory-backed protection
can be.
A special note:
If visiting your dealer isn’t convenient, contact
Yamaha with your Primary ID number or Hull
Identification Number. We’ll be happy to help
you get the Y.E.S. coverage you need.
● You don’t have to pay anything for covered
repairs. There’s no deductible to pay, and
repairs aren’t “prorated.” You don’t have
any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered
repairs.

reimbursement per occurrence for any
reasonable expenses you incur because
