    EMU00175 INSTALLATION Incorrect engine height or obstructions to smooth water flow (such as the design or condition of the boat or accessories such as transom ladders/depth finder trans- ducers) can create airborne water spray while the boat is cruising. Severe engine damage may result if the motor is operat- ed continuously in the presence of air- borne water spray.

  • Page 42 Overpowering a boat may cause severe instability. Do not install an outboard motor with more horsepower than the maximum rating on the capacity plate of the boat. If the boat does not have a capacity plate, consult the boat manufac- turer.
  • Page 43: Filling Fuel

    While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, avail- able from your Yamaha dealer. Ring Free has repeatedly proven its ability to clean combustion deposits from inside the engine, notably the critical piston-ring- land area, and fuel system components.
  • Page 44: Pre-Operation Checks

    EMU00204 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS If any item in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the out- board motor. Otherwise, an accident could occur. Do not start the engine out of water. Overheating and serious engine damage can occur.
  • Page 45: Checking The Engine Oil Level

    EMU00209 Controls 8 Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper operation before starting the engine. 8 The controls should work smoothly, without binding or unusual free play. 8 Look for loose or damaged connec- tions. 8 Check operation of the starter and stop switches when the outboard motor is in the water.
  • Page 46: Breaking In (Running In) Engine

    EMU00224 BREAKING IN (RUNNING IN) ENGINE Your new engine requires a period of break-in (running-in) to allow mating sur- faces of moving parts to wear-in evenly. Correct break-in (running-in) will help ensure proper performance and longer engine life. Failure to follow the break-in (running-in) procedure may result in reduced engine life or even severe engine damage.
  • Page 47: Starting Engine

    EMU01197 STARTING ENGINE 8 Before starting the engine, make sure that the boat is tightly moored and that you can steer clear of any obstructions. Be sure there are no swimmers in the water near you. 8 When the air vent screw is loosened, gasoline (petrol) vapor will be released.
  • Page 48 EMU00247* PROCEDURE FOR REMOTE CONTROL MODEL 4) Place the remote control lever in the Neutral position. NOTE: The start-in-gear protection device pre- vents the engine from starting except when in Neutral. 701015 5) Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a secure place on your clothing, or your arm or leg.

  • Page 50: Warming Up Engine

    Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If the cause for the low oil pressure warning indicator cannot be found, consult your Yamaha dealer. 8 A continuous flow of water from the pilot hole shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling passages.
  • Page 51: Shifting

    EMU00261 SHIFTING Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you. 701034** To change the shifting position from for- ward to reverse or vice-versa, close the throttle first so that the engine idles (or runs at low speeds).
  • Page 52: Stopping Engine

    EMU00273 STOPPING ENGINE Let it cool off for a few minutes at idle or low speed first. Stopping the engine immediately after operating at high speed is not recommended. EMU00276 1) Turn the main switch to “OFF”. START 2) If the fuel joints are provided, discon- nect the fuel line from the motor after stopping the engine.
  • Page 53: Trimming Outboard Motor

    EMU01412 TRIMMING OUTBOARD MOTOR The trim angle of the outboard motor helps determine the position of the bow of the boat in the water. The correct trim angle will help improve performance and fuel economy while reducing strain on the engine.
  • Page 54: Adjusting Trim Angle

    ADJUSTING TRIM ANGLE EMU01401 Power Trim/Tilt Model 8 Be sure all people are clear of the out- board motor when adjusting trim/tilt angle, also be careful not to pinch any body parts between the drive 701034* unit and clamp bracket. 8 Use caution when trying a trim position for the first time.
  • Page 55 EMU00282 Bow Up When the boat is on plane, a bow-up atti- tude result in less drag, greater stability and efficiency. This is generally when the keel line of the boat is up about 3 to 5 degrees. When trimmed out, the boat may have more tendency to steer to one side or the other.
  • Page 56: Tilting Up/Down

    EMU01200 TILTING UP/DOWN If the engine will be stopped for some time, or if the boat is moored in shallows, the engine should be tilted up to protect the propeller and casing from damage by collision with obstructions, and also to reduce salt corrosion.
  • Page 57 EMU01029 PROCEDURE FOR TILTING UP Power trim/tilt model 1) Remove the fuel-line connection from the motor. (If the fuel connector is provided on the motor.) )Push the power trim/tilt switch “UP” until the outboard has tilted up com- pletely. 701034* F1006* 3) Turn the tilt-support lever toward engine...
