Anti-Fouling Paint; Outboard Motor Disposal; Emergency Equipment; Emission Control Information - Yamaha F225 Owner's Manual

Specifications and requirements
age longer between refills than gasoline
used in automobiles, resulting in stale and
unusable gasoline that may cause starting
and running problems, fuel system damage,
and internal engine damage.
Yamaha recommends the use of two Ya-
malube gasoline additives to reduce internal
deposits and extend the storage life of gaso-
line. Continuous use of Yamalube Ring Free
Fuel Additive Plus reduces harmful internal
deposits. Yamalube Fuel Stabilizer & Condi-
tioner Plus added to fresh gasoline will help
protect the fuel system from varnishing while
helping to keep the gasoline's octane level
from decreasing excessively during storage.
Other additives may also be available on the
market that may have varying degrees of ef-
fectiveness. Consult your Yamaha dealer
concerning what may work best for the local-
ly available gasoline and environmental con-
ditions.

Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull is required to maintain your
boat's performance. Boats moored in the wa-
ter should be protected from marine growth
(barnacles, mussels, and marine plants). If
approved by regulations for your area, the
bottom of the hull can be coated with an anti-
fouling paint to inhibit marine growth.
Anti-fouling paints specifically formulated for
use on aluminum may be applied to the out-
board motor. The original Yamaha paint sur-
face may be scuffed lightly before applying
anti-fouling paint, but do not remove the orig-
inal paint. Removal of the original paint will
increase the rate of corrosion.

NOTICE
Anti-fouling paint for fiberglass and wood
may contain materials, such as copper,
21
graphite, and tin, that can cause corro-
sion if applied to aluminum boats and
outboard motor components. Never ap-
ply these types of paint to your outboard
motor because rapid corrosion damage
could occur.
Sacrificial anodes are attached to the out-
board motor to provide corrosion protection
and must never be painted.
ECM02420
NOTICE
Painted sacrificial anodes will not provide
corrosion protection.
