Mounting outboard motor
EWM02501
WARNING
 Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result
in hazardous conditions such as poor handling, loss of
control, or fire hazards.
 Because the outboard motor is very heavy, special
equipment and training is required to mount it safely.
Your dealer or other person experienced in proper rigging
should mount the outboard motor using correct equipment
and complete rigging instructions. For further information,
see page 31.
EMU34954
Digital electronic control requirements
The digital electronic control is equipped with a start-in-gear
protection device(s). This device prevents the engine from
starting unless it is in neutral.
EWM01581
WARNING
 If the engine starts in gear, the boat can move sudden-
ly and unexpectedly, possibly causing a collision or
throwing passengers overboard.
 If the engine ever starts in gear, the start-in-gear pro-
tection device is not working correctly and you should
discontinue using the outboard. Contact your Yamaha
dealer.
This digital electronic control unit is only available for the
outboard motor which you have purchased.
Prior to use of the digital electronic control unit, set it in order
to operate your outboard motor only. Otherwise, it will not be
possible to operate the outboard motor.
Perform setting of the outboard motor and the digital elec-
tronic control unit in the following cases.
 If a used outboard motor is installed
 If the digital electronic control unit is replaced
 If the ECM (Electronic control module) of the used out-
board motor is replaced
 If the ECM (Electronic control module) of the digital elec-
tronic control unit is replaced
Consult your Yamaha dealer for setting.
