Check the control levers for smooth
operation and proper shifting.

cord (lanyard) and ignition keys.
2) Push and pull the control levers
through their full range, from
Neutral to wide-open throttle For-
ward and from Neutral to Reverse.
Operation should be smooth.
3) While a second person watches
from the stern, move the control
levers to the Forward position.
Check that the shift gates lift
completely to the stops.

move the levers back to the Reverse
position. Check that the shift gates
drop down over the nozzles to the
stops.
If the controls do not operate smoothly
or correctly, ask your authorized Yamaha
Boat dealer for service.
