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

Yamaha recommends the use of two Yama-
lube gasoline additives to reduce internal de-
posits and extend the storage life of
gasoline. Continuous use of Yamalube Ring
Free Fuel Additive Plus reduces harmful in-
ternal deposits. Yamalube Fuel Stabilizer &
Conditioner 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 avail-
able on the market that may have varying de-
grees of effectiveness. Consult your Yamaha
dealer concerning what may work best for
the locally available gasoline and environ-
mental conditions.

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.

wood may contain materials, such as
copper, graphite, and tin, that can
cause corrosion if applied to aluminum
boats and outboard motor compo-
nents. Never apply these types of paint

Specifications and requirements

Sacrificial anodes are attached to the out-
board motor to provide corrosion protection
and must never be painted.
Sacrificial anodes made from a different ma-
terial may be necessary for maximum corro-
sion protection due to your local water
conditions. Please consult your Yamaha
dealer.

Never illegally discard (dump) the outboard
motor. Yamaha recommends consulting the
dealer about discarding the outboard motor.

Keep the following items onboard in case
there is trouble with the outboard motor.

corrosion damage could occur.
Anti-fouling paint can increase drag
(friction) between the boat and the wa-
ter, and possibly affect performance. If
the effects are too great, reducing pro-
peller pitch may be necessary.
