  • Page 10: Important Labels

    General information Stay informed about the weather. Check weather forecasts before boating. Avoid boating in hazardous weather. Tell someone where you are going: leave a Float Plan with a responsible person. Be sure to cancel the Float Plan when you re- turn.
  • Page 11: Steering And Sailing Rules And Sound Signals

    driving your boat. These rules are used inter- nationally, and are also enforced by the Unit- ed States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and fol- low them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water. Several sets of rules prevail according to geo- graphic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road.
  • Page 12: Other Special Situations

    General information Meeting If you are meeting another power vessel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of col- lision, neither of you has the right-of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an ac- cident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side.
  • Page 13 Fishing vessel right-of-way All vessels which are fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing ves- sels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way re- gardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other ves- sels in narrow channels.

Refuel portable fuel tanks off the boat.
  • Page 15: Gasoline

    Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Yamaha does not recommended gasohol containing methanol because it can cause fuel system damage or engine performance problems.

    engine, and propeller. Correct trim is also af- fected by variables such as the load in the boat, sea conditions, and running speed. EWM00740 WARNING Excessive trim for the operating condi- tions (either trim up or trim down) can cause boat instability and can make steer- ing the boat more difficult.
  • Page 42: Adjusting Boat Trim

    Operation EMU27911 Adjusting boat trim When the boat is on plane, a bow-up attitude results in less drag, greater stability and effi- ciency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. With the bow up, the boat may have a greater tenden- cy to steer to one side or the other.
