Mounting motor

EWM01570
WARNING
Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
G
tor could result in hazardous conditions
such as poor handling, loss of control,
or fire hazards.
Because the motor is very heavy, spe-
G
cial equipment and training is required
to mount it safely.
Your dealer or other person experienced in
proper rigging should mount the motor using
correct equipment and complete rigging in-
structions. For further information, see page
40.

Remote control requirements

EWM01580
WARNING
If the engine starts in gear, the boat can
G
move suddenly and unexpectedly, pos-
sibly causing a collision or throwing
passengers overboard.
If the engine ever starts in gear, the
G
start-in-gear protection device is not
working correctly and you should dis-
continue using the outboard. Contact
your Yamaha dealer.
The remote control unit must be equipped
with a start-in-gear protection device(s). This
device prevents the engine from starting un-
less it is in neutral.

Next to selecting an outboard motor, selecting
the right propeller is one of the most important
purchasing decisions a boater can make. The
type, size, and design of your propeller have
a direct impact on acceleration, top speed,
fuel economy, and even engine life. Yamaha
designs and manufactures propellers for ev-
ery Yamaha outboard motor and every appli-
cation.
Your outboard motor came with a Yamaha
propeller selected to perform well over a
range of applications, but there may be uses
where a different propeller would be more ap-
propriate.
Your Yamaha dealer can help you select the
right propeller for your boating needs. Select
a propeller that will allow the engine to reach
the middle or upper half of the operating
range at full throttle with the maximum boat-
load. Generally, select a larger pitch propeller
for a smaller operating load and a smaller
pitch propeller for a heavier load. If you carry
loads that vary widely, select the propeller that
lets the engine run in the proper range for your

Propeller selection
