Next to selecting an outboard motor, select-
ing the right propeller is one of the most im-
portant purchasing decisions a boater can
make. The type, size, and design of your pro-
peller have a direct impact on acceleration,
top speed, fuel economy, and even engine
life. Yamaha designs and manufactures pro-
pellers for every Yamaha outboard motor
and every application.
Your outboard motor came with a Yamaha
propeller selected to perform well over a
Do not use a battery that does not meet
the specified capacity. If a battery that
does not meet specifications is used,
the electric system could perform poor-
ly or be overloaded, causing electric
system damage.
Do not use a battery which exceeds the
maximum CCA rating. If the batteries
are used in parallel circuit, use new bat-
teries of the same type and make sure
that the total battery rating never ex-
ceeds the maximum CCA rating.
