state. A boating safety course is recommended and may be required in your state. You can find local rules by contacting the United States Coast Guard (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 boat. Also, watch the Basic Orientation Video provided with your boat. These materials should give you an understanding of the boat and its operation. l Never allow anyone to operate this boat until they too have read the Owner’s/Operator’s Manual, the Operation Instruction Card, and all warning and caution labels, and if possible watched the Basic Orientation Video. Showing them the video may help reinforce the information contained in these materials. Maximum Load: 1800 lb. (816 kg) Load is the total weight of cargo, operator and passengers. LIMITATIONS ON WHO MAY OPERATE THE BOAT l Yamaha recommends a minimum operator age of 16 years old. l Adults must supervise use by minors. 1-8 SAFETY INFORMATION REQUIRED EQUIPMENT 1 ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has regulations which describe minimum standards of safety.

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). 1-9 1 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. 1 2 1 Engine Shut-Off Switch 2 Engine Shut-Off Cord with Clip 3 Cord connected to PFD 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. 1-13 1 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.

OR No change Old 1-18 New 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. 1 TO GET MORE BOATING SAFETY INFORMATION Be informed about boating safety.

BOAT EDUCATION AND TRAINING The Online Boating Safety Course, available through the watercraft section of the yamaha-motor.com website, is a free, 50-question learning course available to the public. Upon successful completion of 80 percent or better, the user can request a certificate of completion by mail or can download one immediately. The Online Boating Safety Course, provided by the Boat/US Foundation, is approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recognized by the United States Coast Guard. This course meets the education requirement for those states that recognize non-proctored, NASBLAapproved courses. 1-19 1 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. 1-20 Chapter 2

The lever 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 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. 3 4 5 2 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 8 9 10 ly from planing speed. This could 916 19 10 18 people and objects in the 17 20 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. 1 1 2 31 42 2 11 3 12 411 14 512 15 613 16 714 17 815 13 11 2112 2213 23 14 24 15 21 22 53 16 25 23 64 75 17 26 18 27 24 25 21 31 22 32 23 31 24 32 25 33 26 34 27 35 28 33 34 35 36 37 ➀ Engine shut-off switch 31 Engine 32 42 33 shut-off 34 42 35cord 36 with 37 clip 38 ➁ 41 43 44 45 46 47 41 43 44 45 ➂ 51 53 54 55 56 57 41 Engine 42 52 43 shut-off 44 52 45cord 46 (lanyard) 47 55 48 51 53 54 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 29 37 30 38 38 39 40 MAIN 36 39 SWITCHES 40 39 48 46 40 49 47 58 49 56 59 50 57 59 60 There is a main switch for each engine. switches control the ignition and electrical circuits as follows: 60 59 60 58 50 49 50 48 The main 1 1 11 1 1 2-6 21 2 11 11 31 12 2 3 4 5 12 13 14 15 24 25 11 2 3(left) 4 engine 5 21 6 Port 2 6 12 3 7 13 4 8 14 9 5 6 7 8 15 10 16 17 18 16 17 18 19 20 22 7 238 249 25 10 26 22 23 26 27 32 13 33 15 34 1635 1736 18 3719 38 14 20 39 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Starboard 32 17 3318 12 13 14 (right) 1531 16engine 2810 29 3419 35 20 30 36 40 27 37 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.

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. 2-8 2 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. 1. Speedometer The speedometer 1 shows the boat speed in miles per hour (mph).

Extremely dirty water, very soft bottom, high speeds, deep water, or a combination of the above may result in incomplete or inaccurate readings. Setting the Measurement Unit The depth readout and alarm functions can be set to Feet (FT) or Meters (M). The default unit is Feet. If Meter depth readings are preferred, this must be set for each use. 1) Press the “UP” and “DOWN” keys at the same time. 2 Setting the Shallow Alarm The Shallow Alarm function can be set for depths ranging from 3 to 199 feet (1 to 60.3 meters). When the depth is less than the chosen setting, the alarm is triggered. The alarm sounds an audible “alarm” for 10 seconds while flashing the Warning LED, as well as the Alarm indicator and Shallow Alarm indicator on the display. After 10 seconds the audible alarm mutes, but the Warning LED and the indicators continue to blink until the depth increases, or the alarm is reset. NOTE: Set the Shallow Alarm function each time you wish to use it. The gauge does not retain the setting after the main switch is turned off. 2) To set the units to feet press the “UP” key. “FT” will flash on the display. 3) To set the units to meters press the “DOWN” key. “M” will flash on the display. 4) The display automatically returns to the normal mode after 5 seconds. NOTE: Extremely dirty water, very soft bottom, high speeds, deep water, or a combination of the above may result in incomplete or inaccurate readings. Under these conditions variable readings or “- - -” will be displayed. 1) Press the “UP” key located on the front of the display. The current alarm setting will be displayed on the display. “000” is the default setting (no alarm function). 2) Press the “UP” key again within 5 seconds to increase the selected value (more water depth before alarm). Press the “DOWN” key to 2-11 2 FEATURES & FUNCTIONS reduce the value. Press and release either key to change the value in 1foot increments. Press and hold the key to change the value in 9-foot increments per second. 3) After your selection is made, the display will return to normal operation after 5 seconds. 4) The Alarm indicator and Shallow Alarm indicator will now be present. Setting the Deep Alarm The Deep Alarm function can be set for depths ranging from 3 to 199 feet (1 to 60.3 meters). When the depth is more than the chosen setting, the alarm is triggered.

Warning Indicators There are three warning indicators in each tachometer to alert you about certain conditions on your boat. These warnings correspond to the engine monitored by the tachometer. Check Engine – If a sensor malfunction or a short circuit is detected, the warning indicator will come on. If this occurs, reduce engine speed and return to shore. Have a Yamaha dealer check the engine and circuits. 2-12 FEATURES & FUNCTIONS Engine Overheat – This model is equipped with an engine overheat warning system. See the following section for an explanation. Oil Pressure – If oil pressure does not rise to specification, the oil pressure warning indicator comes on. At the same time, engine speed reduction control is activated, limiting maximum speed to 3000 rpm. If this occurs, reduce engine speed and return to shore. Have a Yamaha dealer check the engine oil pressure. 4 3 2 1 5 6 RPM x 1000 7 8 9 10 11 40 45 35 MPH 50 30 55 20 60 10 4 3 2 1 5 6 RPM x 1000 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 NOTE: If 41 water cooling passages on 42 43 44 45 46 47 the engines are dry, it will take about 20 seconds for 51 water 52 to 53 reach 54 the 55 pilot 56 out57 lets after starting. 7 8 9 10 11 NOTE: All three warning indicators blink when the No-Wake Mode system is engaged (see page 2-15). OVERHEAT WARNING SYSTEM The engine has an overheat warning device. If either engine starts to overheat, the engine speed of the affected engine will be limited to 3000 rpm. Each engine is equipped with coolingwater pilot outlets 1 on the starboard side of the hull. Check that water comes out of the outlet while the engine is running, particularly while applying throttle. If you do not see any water at the outlet, cooling water may not be circulating in the engine. If water may be Refer to cedures mation. is not circulating, something clogging the jet intake grate. the Jet Pump Clean-Out proon page 5-5 for further infor- CAUTION: If the cause of overheating cannot be found and corrected, take special precautions to avoid major engine damage while you return to shore. SINGLE ENGINE OVERHEATING — Shut off the overheating engine and use the properly running engine to return to shore. Operate at “nowake” speed to prevent water from flooding the non-operating engine through the cooling water intake. 2-13 48 58 2 FEATURES & FUNCTIONS See page 2-15 for “No Wake Mode” system operation.

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. 1 3 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 3-3 3 OPERATION PRE-OPERATION CHECKS WARNING If any item in the Pre-Operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the boat. Otherwise an accident could occur. CHECK LIST Before Operating this boat, perform the following checks: ITEM PAGE REF.

If the top is too loose or too tight, adjust the front straps by sliding the buckle up or down the strap as needed. 2) Unzip and remove the storage cover. 3) Unfold the top by pulling to the bow of the boat. CAUTION: Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) with the Bimini top in the up position. NOTE: SX230 model shown. On the AR230 model, collapse the front support poles to clear the wakeboard tower as you pull the top forward. Extend the poles again until the bottom sections lock into their fully extended position. 3-11 3 OPERATION Storing In The Upright Position Trailering with the Bimini Top 1) Raise the rear support poles. 2) Unhook the front straps and pull the top to the back. 3) Roll the fabric around the frames and zip the storage cover in place. CAUTION: Do not trailer the boat with the Bimini top in the fully extended or upright storage positions. Put the cover in the fully collapsed position to avoid damage. Storing In the Fully Collapsed Position 1) Follow the steps for storing in the upright position. 2) Remove the snap pins holding the rear support poles to the mounting brackets. 3) Lower the top onto the rear deck/hatch. 3-12 The Bimini top must be secured to the boat when it is being trailered. When trailered with a Genuine Yamaha Cover, simply store the Bimini top in the fully collapsed position and install the cover. If a cover is not used, wrap an elastic cord around the top and secure the ends to the ski tow hook to restrict movement. Removing the Bimini Top 1) Follow the steps for storing in the fully collapsed position. 2) Remove the lock pins holding the Bimini top to the mounting brackets. 3) The top can now be removed from your boat. When reinstalling the Bimini top, simply reverse the removal steps making sure the lock pins are fully engaged. See page 4-4 for Bimini top care information. OPERATION 3 OPERATION STARTING THE ENGINES 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. 3-13 3 OPERATION NOTE: Before the first start-up, remove the fuel tank filler cap to release any built-up pressure in the tank because of fuel expansion. 1 2 31 11 12 13 11 14 12 15 13 16 14 17 15 18 16 19 17 20 18 21 11 21 23 21 24 22 53 64 25 23 75 26 24 86 27 25 97 379 36 3810 37 39 35 40 38 3 2 Clip 3 4with5 cord 6 7 8 9 10 43 15 44 1643 45 1744 46 18 45 4719 46 4820 47 49 11 41 12 42 13 14 41 42 50 48 4 60 58 5 31 32 41 33 42 34 43 35 44 41 42 51 43 52 44 53 CD 45PW 46 54 55 51 52 53 54 V 55 V 36 45 T 56 T 37 46 47 56 38 47 FM 1 JVC 3 AM 5 57 39 48 40 49 50 482 49 57 58 50 59 60 4 58 59 60BLOWER #2 6 #1 ON OFF ON OFF 3-14 19 2 NOTE: not16possible 12 13 It14is 15 17 18 to 19 start 20 the 51 with 52 24 53 25 54 26 55 27 56 28 57 58the 59 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 engine the clip removed from 21 22 23 29 30 engine shut-off switch.

Turn the ignition key of one engine to “Start.” When the engine starts, release the key. Repeat for the other engine. 3 OPERATION CAUTION: Never turn the ignition key to “Start” while the engine is running. Do not keep the starter motor running for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not start after 5 seconds of cranking, release the starter button. Wait at least 15 seconds before trying to start the engine again. If the starter motor is engaged continuously for more than 5 seconds, the battery will be quickly discharged, and it will be impossible to start the engine. The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged continuously for more than 5 seconds. STOPPING THE ENGINES CD FM 1 2 V T JVC 3 4 V T AM 5 6 PW BLOWER #1 #2 ON OFF ON OFF START START To stop the engine, return the throttle levers to the idle position, then turn the main switches to “Off.” The engines can also be stopped by pulling the engine stop switch lanyard. 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. 3-15 3 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. 3-16 OPERATION DRIVING YOUR BOAT 3 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 3 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. 3-18 C D OPERATION BOATING WITH PASSENGERS TURNING LEFT 4 3 5 6 RPM x 1000 2 1 40 45 35 MPH 50 30 55 20 10 60 7 8 9 10 11 3 4 3 5 6 RPM x 1000 2 1 Your boat is designed for one operator and up to nine passengers only. Never have more than ten people in the boat. Passengers must sit in one of the seats and hold onto the grips. Passengers should sit so the weight in the boat is balanced from side-to-side and bow-tostern as much as possible. If the passenger seat in front of the helm is used, be sure the operator’s view ahead is not obstructed. 7 8 9 10 11 TURNING RIGHT WARNING 4 3 2 1 5 6 RPM x 1000 7 8 9 10 11 40 45 35 MPH 50 30 55 20 10 60 4 3 2 1 5 6 RPM x 1000 7 8 9 10 11 When passengers are on board, make sure they are seated and holding on before you start to accelerate. An unprepared passenger could lose balance and fall. BOARDING FROM THE WATER WARNING l Do not pull the throttle levers back to idle when trying to steer away from objects – you need throttle to steer. l Be sure passengers are holding on before making turns. An unprepared passenger could lose balance and fall. WARNING Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of being near the jet thrust nozzles. l Do not board from the rear, use swim platform, or swim behind boat if engines are running. l Stay away from the back of the boat when engines are running. 3-19 3 OPERATION WARNING Stay away from the swim step while the engines are running. Exhaust gases coming from underneath it contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas which may cause brain damage or death when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. 2) Climb up onto the swim platform, then sit in one of the seats provided. BOARDING FROM A DOCK OR LANDING JETTY 1) Be sure engines are off, then move to the stern of the boat. Pull out the ladder and climb up onto the step. Return the ladder to the stowed position before climbing into the boat. 3-20 1) Board the boat from the side. One person should board at a time by stepping into the boat. Never jump in. Avoid stepping on slick gelcoat surfaces on the boat’s gunwales, especially if wet. 2) Sit in one of the seats provided and put both feet on the deck. OPERATION STOPPING 3 2) Notice how wind and water currents are affecting boat movement as you attach your mooring lines and fenders. 3) Approach the dock at idle speed. Use reverse as necessary during slow speed maneuvering to help control speed and direction. Position the boat according to wind and water conditions. 346 ft ft(105.5 m) 345 (105 m) 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 3 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 3 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. 3-24 BROAD SWELL WAKE 90° 45° 10° OPERATION 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 24 25 CAUTION: 21 1 2 3 4 11 12 13 14 21 22 23 24 31 32 33 34 22 23 26 27 5 6 7 the 8 9 10 Tighten plug 31 hull 32 33drain 34 35 36 1 37 securely before launching the boat. 15 16 17 18 19 20 Clean any foreign 41 42 material, 43 44 45such 46 as 47 dirt or sand, from the threads before 25 26 27 5128 5229 5330 54 55 56 57 installing the drain plug. 35 1 2 3 4 5 41 6 42 7 43 8 44 6) 45 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 51 52 16 17 53 18 54 19 36 37 38 39 40 Spray rust49inhibitor, such as 46 47a 48 50 Yamaha Silicone Protectant and 55 56 57 58 59 60 20 Lubricant, on metallic parts to minimize corrosion. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 3-26 28 2 38 3 48 4 58 5 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. 3-28 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. 3-30 Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE AND CARE STORAGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It is advisable to have the boat serviced by an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer before storage. However, the following procedures can be performed by the owner with a minimum of tools. 11 2 12 15 26 37 48 59 3 4 13 2 3 4 1 14 11 15 12 16 13 17 14 18 15 19 21 22 23 11 12 13 1 2421 2522 2623 2724 2825 2 31 32 33 21 22 23 2 3431 3532 3633 3734 3835 3 41 42 43 31 32 33 3 4441 4542 4643 4744 4845 4 41 42 43 4 52 Connector 53 5451 5552 5653 5754 5855 5 ➀ Flush51 Hose ➁ Garden Hose Adapter 51 52 53 5 ➂ Cap 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. 4-1 4 MAINTENANCE & CARE 4) Turn off the water supply, then drain residual water from the exhaust system by alternately pushing the throttle lever up to half throttle and back for 10 to 15 seconds. Shut off engine. CAUTION: Never have the water on when the 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 screws 1, slide the locks 2 to open, and then remove the case cover. 3) Remove the air filter element. 5) After stopping the engine, remove the garden hose adapter. 6) Replace the cap securely. 7) Repeat the flushing procedure for the other engine. LUBRICATION WARNING 4) Spray a rust inhibitor such as Yamaha Store-Rite Fogging Oil into each intake opening 3 for 3 seconds. Do not spray flammable rust inhibitor on engine surfaces while the engines are hot. The sprayed substance or propellants could catch fire. 5) Install the air filter element and air filter case cover. 6) Start the engine in a well-ventilated area and let it run at idle for 15 seconds. CAUTION: Do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds. The engine could overheat. 4-2 MAINTENANCE & CARE 4 3) If the battery will be stored for a longer period, check the specific gravity of the fluid at least once a month and recharge the battery if it gets too low. 7) Grease the areas of the boat specified in “Grease Points” in the Adjustment and Maintenance section. BATTERY Specific gravity: 1.28 at 20°C (68°F) 1) If the boat will be out of use, the battery switch 1 in the battery compartment can be switched to the Off position to prevent accidental draining of the battery. CAUTION: With the battery switch in the Off position, the bilge pump will not work, even if the bilge pump switch is in the On position. The bilge could fill with water. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 2) When the boat is not to be used for a month or more, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dark place. Clean the battery’s casing and terminals using a mixture of baking soda and water (one tbsp. of baking soda to one cup of water). apply dielectric grease or petroleum jelly to the battery terminals and to all exposed connectors. 4-3 4 MAINTENANCE & CARE CLEANING 3) Rinse the engine and bilge areas with fresh water. Drain off all water and wipe up remaining moisture with clean, dry rags. Reinstall the drain plugs. 4) Spray the exterior of the engines with Yamaha Silicone Protectant and Lubricant or an equivalent. 5) Wax the hull with a non-abrasive wax such as Yamaha Ultra Gloss Cleaner Wax or other wax designed for marine gelcoat. 1 3 WARNING WARNING Slippery surfaces can cause falls and injury. Be careful not to apply too much wax on deck and gunnel stepping surfaces. This will make them slippery. 6) Wipe all vinyl and rubber components, such as the seats and engine compartment seals, with a vinyl protectant such as Yamaha Protectant. 2 1) Remove the fuel tank compartment drain 1 and allow any water to drain into the engine compartment. Reinstall the drain plug. 7) Vacuum and or hose-off the carpeting (if equipped) as necessary. If needed, use a quality brand-name carpet cleaner product to clean soiled areas. Roll up the carpet face out for storage. WARNING Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. If fuel or a fuel/water mix drains from the fuel tank compartment drain, wipe it up immediately with dry rags. Do not operate the boat until the source of the fuel leak is found and corrected. CAUTION: Always dry the carpet face up. Never roll up the carpet while wet. Never fold the carpet. 8) Wash the fabric of the Bimini top (if equipped) with a mild natural soap in lukewarm water, then rinse. Do not use detergents. Allow to air dry thoroughly before storage. See the label on the Bimini top and the manufacturer’s care instructions for more detailed information. 2) Remove the drain plugs in the stern 2 and engine compartment 3. Wash down the hull, boat interior, and drive units with fresh water, mild natural soap, then rinse. 4-4 MAINTENANCE & CARE ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE 4 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 skills, tools, and other equipment necessary to perform maintenance not covered by this Owner’s Manual. WARNING Do not attempt to modify this boat! Modifications to your boat may reduce safety and reliability, and may make the boat illegal for use. 4-5 4 MAINTENANCE & CARE PERIODIC INSPECTION CHART Frequency of maintenance operations may be adjusted according to the operating conditions, but the following table gives general guidelines. ● Indicates the checkups which you may do yourself. ■ Indicates work to be done by your Yamaha dealer.

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) 4-7 4 MAINTENANCE & CARE GREASE POINTS To keep moving parts sliding or rotating smoothly, coat them with water resistant grease such as Yamaha Marine Grease, Yamaha Grease A, or an equivalent. Throttle Cable Grease the throttle-cable inner wires at the carburetors. Steering Cable Ball Joints and Inner Wire Grease the steering cable and shift cables ball joints at the steering nozzles. Extend the steering cable and shift cable inner wires and apply a thin coat of grease to them. Pivot Points Grease all pivot points of the steering and shift mechanism at the pump end. 4-8 MAINTENANCE & CARE 4 Bearing Housing ➀ Bearing housing grease nipple Grease the bearing housing through the grease nipple.

Grease capacity: 6.0~8.0 cc (0.20~0.27 oz) CAUTION: Fill the grease slowly and carefully, because it can damage the hose and the joints. 4-9 4 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. 1 2 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: • • • 4 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. 4-11 4 MAINTENANCE & CARE AIR FILTER The air filter element should be checked every 12 months or every 100 hours of operation. To check the air filter: 1) Open the hood (see page 2-17). 2) Remove the air filter case cover screws 1, slide the locks 2 to open, and then remove the case cover. 3) Remove the air filter element. Check it for dirt and oil. Replace the air filter every 2 years or every 200 hours of operation, or if it becomes contaminated with dirt or oil. 4-12 MAINTENANCE & CARE STEERING CABLE INSPECTION Be sure to check: 1) Check for smooth operation of the wheel and steering nozzles. 2) Check for proper steering adjustment. The nozzles should both point straight back when the steering wheel is centered. If steering is stiff or misadjusted, ask your Yamaha dealer to service it. 4-13 4 4 MAINTENANCE & CARE CONTROLS (THROTTLE/SHIFT) Check the control levers for smooth operation and proper shifting. operation. Otherwise, there could be loss of control and an accident. 1) Remove the engine stop switch cord (lanyard) and ignition keys. REVERSE GATE MECHANISM INSPECTION 2) Push and pull the control levers through their full range, from Neutral to wide-open throttle Forward and from Neutral to Reverse. Operation should be smooth. 1) Remove the engine stop switch lanyard and ignition keys. 3) While a second person watches from the stern, move the control levers to the Forward position. Check that the shift gates lift completely to the stops. 4) While the second person watches, move the levers back to the Reverse position. Check that the shift gates drop down over the nozzles to the stops. 2) Put the throttle levers in the idle position (otherwise the shift lever will not move). 3) Push the shift lever to Forward from the Neutral position while a second person observes shift gate movement from outside the boat. Both shift gates should lift completely to the stops. If the controls do not operate smoothly or correctly, ask your authorized Yamaha Boat dealer for service. 4) Pull the shift lever back from Forward through Neutral to Reverse. The observer should check for proper movement of the shift gates. Both gates should drop down over the nozzles to the stops. If reverse gates do not operate smoothly or correctly, ask your authorized Yamaha Boat dealer for service. WARNING Before starting the engine, check the operation of each engine’s throttle/ shift lever. It should move smoothly through the full range of 4-14 MAINTENANCE & CARE FUSE REPLACEMENT 3 4 The fuse is in the ignition coil holder. To replace the fuse, unscrew the cap and pull the two red leads out with the fuse holder. Open the fuse holder and replace the fuse. ➀ Ignition coil holder ➂ Fuse (10A) ➁ Cap 4 Fuse holder Accessory Fuse 2 1 4 WARNING Do not use fuses of higher amperage that those recommended.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Antidote: EXTERNAL – Flush with water. INTERNAL – Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately. EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. A battery produces explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc., away. Ventilate when charging or using in enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Replenishing the Battery Fluid A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate quickly. The battery fluid should be checked before every outing. Fill to the manufacturer’s recommended level when necessary. Top up only with distilled water (or pure de-ionized water) suitable to use in batteries. Recharging WARNING ● When charging the battery, keep it well away from sparks and open flames, as it gives off explosive gases. ● When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger before you turn on the charger. This will prevent sparking at the terminals that could ignite battery gases. ● If jump-starting the engine is necessary in an emergency, follow the instructions on page 5-4. Improper jump-starting could cause sparking and explosion. 1) Remove the caps from the cells. Add distilled water if necessary to top up the electrolyte to the proper level. 2) Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging. Connecting the Battery Terminals Always make sure the connections are correct when you install the battery in the boat. Make sure that the breather pipe is properly connected and that it is not damaged or obstructed. CAUTION: Normal tap water contains minerals which are harmful to a battery; therefore, refill only with distilled water. 4-16 MAINTENANCE & CARE Battery Switch This model includes a battery disconnect switch. Turn this switch to the Off position when you want to be sure no battery power is available, such as during storage to prevent accidental discharge of the battery or during service work. 5 3 4 4 1 2 CAUTION: With the battery switch in the Off position, the bilge pump will not work, even if the bilge pump switch is in the On position. The bilge could fill with water. ➀ Positive (+) Battery cable (Red) ➁ Negative (–) Battery cable (Black) ➂ Accessory (+) Lead (Red/Black) 4 Accessory (–) Lead (Black) 5 Battery Switch CAUTION: BATTERY REMOVAL: Disconnect battery leads before removing the battery.

TOWING THE BOAT RUNNING ON ONE ENGINE If one engine becomes inoperative, the properly running engine can be used to return to shore. Operate at a “no wake” speed to prevent water from flooding the non-operating engine through the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 cooling water intake. The “No-Wake Mode” system can be used for this pur12 eye 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ➀11Bow pose. (See page 2-15.) The boat should be towed only if it 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 becomes inoperative. CAUTION: The towing be long 31 32 33rope 34 should 35 36 37 enough 38 39 so that the boat will not collide with the towing 41 42 boat 43 when 44 45slowing 46 47down. 48 A 49 good rule of thumb is a tow rope which 51 52 times 53 54 56 57length 58 of 59 is three the 55 combined the towing boat and the boat. Tow the boat using the bow eye only. Tow the boat at a “no wake” speed. CAUTION: Do not tow the boat at speed fast enough to leave a wake. Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the nonoperating engines through the cooling water intake. 5-3 40 Do not operate the boat above a “no wake” speed with just one engine. 50 Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the nonoperating engines through the cooling water intake. 60 5 TROUBLESHOOTING & SPECIAL PROCEDURES JUMP STARTING 2) Connect one end of the negative (–) jumper cable to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery. 3) Connect the other end of the negative (–) cable to an engine hanger on either side of the engine oil tank.

Any wrong connection may damage the electrical system. ● If blower will not operate, ventilate engine compartment by opening engine compartment hatch for several minutes before attempting a jump start. 4) Start the engine, then disconnect the cables by reversing the above steps. ● Do not connect the negative (–) jumper cable to the negative (–) terminal of the dead battery. Sparks could ignite battery or fuel vapors, which could cause an explosion. CAUTION: Do not turn the starter motor for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not start in 5 seconds, release the starter switch and try again after 15 seconds. Continuous cranking for more than 5 seconds will discharge the battery and the engine will not start. The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged continuously for more than five seconds. To connect the jumper cables: 1) Connect the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal (+)of the booster battery with the positive jumper cable. 5-4 TROUBLESHOOTING & SPECIAL PROCEDURES 5 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. 5-5 5 TROUBLESHOOTING & SPECIAL PROCEDURES 6) Press the T-handle down firmly to lock the cap in place. Pull up forcefully on the handle to be sure it is locked. If a strong pull will move the handle, it is not locked securely – the cap could be forced out by water pressure during operation. PUSH LOCK CAUTION: ● Be sure the caps are locked securely in place. Otherwise the cap could be forced out of the access ports by water pressure, causing loss of performance and possible damage. ● The hatch cover has interlocks to shut off the engines should the hatch be accidentally opened during operation. The engines will not restart unless the hatch is closed and latched.
