Fuel level

Be sure you have plenty of fuel for your trip. A
good rule is to use 1/3 of your fuel to get to
the destination, 1/3 to return, and to keep 1/3
as an emergency reserve. With the boat level
on a trailer or in the water, check the fuel lev-
el. For fuel filling instructions, see page 37.

TIP:
 The top cowling is connected to the manu-
al starter case. Because the engine could
start, do not remove the top cowling with
too much force.
 To remove the top cowling from the manual
starter case, the manual starter handle
must be removed. For details, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
 If the top cowling is removed while the en-
gine is running, noise from the manual
starter could occur.
