Be sure these lights are working and are turned on when necessary (see page 2-14 and 3-9 for more informa- tion).SAFETY INFORMATION 1addiTiONaL EqUipmENT RECOmmENdaTiONSThe following equipment can help make your boating experience safer and more enjoyable:• Mooring fenders and lines.• Anchor with suitable line (a “Danforth” type anchor and line that is at least 6-times the depth of the water where you will drop anchor are recommended).• Manual-type bilge pump.• First Aid kit.• Waterproof flashlight with extra bat- teries.• Tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and electrical tape.• Oar or paddle (look for one with a boat hook on the other end).• Spare parts, such as an extra set of spark plugs and fuses.• Navigation charts for the waters where you will be boating.• Tow rope.1-9]]></page><page Index="18" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATIONCRUiSiNG LimiTaTiONS• Scan constantly for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.• Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance from peo- ple, objects, and other watercraft.• Do not follow directly behind other boats.• Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.• Avoid sharp turns or other maneu- vers that make it hard for others to avoid you or understand where you are going.• Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water.• Operate within your limits and avoid aggressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and collision.• This is a high-performance boat – not a toy. Sharp turns or jumping•waves or wakes can increase the risk of back/spinal injury (paraly- sis), facial injuries, and broken legs, ankles, and other bones. Do not jump waves or wakes.Do not operate the boat in rough water, bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident causing injury or death. Be alert to the possibility of bad weather. Take note of weather forecasts and the prevailing weather conditions before setting out in your boat.Never operate in water that is less than 3 ft. (90 cm) deep, otherwise you increase your chance of hitting a submerged object, which could result in injury.1-10•3 FT (90 Cm)•Leave a “float plan” with a respon- sible person on shore. Tell where you plan to go and when you plan to arrive, and provide a description of your boat. Advise this person if your plans change and also when you arrive to prevent false alarms. A sample float plan is included on page 6-10.]]></page><page Index="19" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OpERaTiONaL REqUiREmENTS• All riders must wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD).SAFETY INFORMATION 1• For reasons of safety and proper care of the boat, always perform the pre-operation checks listed on page 3-4 before operating.• Passengers must always sit in a designated seating area, place feet on the deck, and hold on to the hand grips when the boat is in motion.• Always consult your doctor on whether it is safe for you to ride in this boat if you are pregnant or in poor health.• Do not attempt to modify this boat. Modifications to your boat may reduce safety and reliability, and render the boat unsafe or illegal to use.pFdXXXX XX XXX• Eye protection is recommended to keep wind, water, and glare from the sun out of your eyes while you oper- ate your boat. Restraining straps for eyewear are made which are designed to float should your eye- wear fall into the water.• Footwear and gloves are recom- mended.• NEVER operate the boat after con- suming alcohol or taking drugs.1-11]]></page><page Index="20" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATION• Attach the engine shut-off cord (lan- yard) to the PFD and keep it free from the steering wheel or other controls so that the engine stops if the operator accidentally leaves the helm. Failure to attach the engine shut-off cord could result in a run- away boat if the operator is ejected.After operation, remove the engine shut-off cord and the keys to avoid accidental starting or unauthorized use by children or others.• Maintain a safe distance from other boats or watercraft, and also watch for boats’ ski ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Rules of the Road” (see page 1-15), and be sure to check behind you before making a turn.HazaRd iNFORmaTiON• Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause death within a short time. Always operate the boat in an open area.2311 Engine Shut-Off Switch2 Engine Shut-Off Cord with Clip3 Cord connected to PFD •• Scan constantly for swimmers and stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard to see and you could accidentally hit someone in the water.• Avoid being hit by another boat! You should always take responsibility to watch for other traffic; other boaters may not be watching for you. If they do not see you, or you maneuver more quickly than they expect, you risk a collision.1-12It is also important to have the engines off when anyone is using the extended swim step on models equipped with one because of the carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases coming from underneath the step.BOaT CHaRaCTERiSTiCSJet thrust turns the boat. Moving the throttle levers completely back to idle or the Neutral position produces only minimum thrust. If you are trav- eling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immedi- ately after moving the throttle levers back to idle, but once the engines slow down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed. Practice turning in]]></page><page Index="21" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[SAFETY INFORMATION 1an open area without obstructions until you have a good feel for the maneuver.• This Yamaha Boat is water-jet pro- pelled. The pumps are directly con- nected to the engines. This means that the jet thrust will produce some movement whenever the engines are running. The boat has a “neu- tral” position, but since the boat is always producing thrust while the engines are running, some forward or reverse movement may occur.• Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the boat as it could cause you to lose control, be ejected, or impact the steering wheel or other parts of the boat. This could increase the risk of seri- ous injury. It could also damage the shift mechanism.• Reverse can be used to slow down or stop during slow speed maneu- vering, such as when docking. Once the engine is idling, shift to reverse and gradually increase engine speed. Make sure that there are no obstacles or people behind you before shifting into reverse.• Keep away from the intake grates while the engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts, resulting in severe injury or drowning.• Stop the engines and remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch before removing any debris or weeds, which may have collected around the jet intakes.• Never insert any object into the jet thrust nozzle while the engine is running. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.NiGHT OpERaTiON• When using your boat before dawn or after dusk, you must have both bow and stern lights operating. When at anchor in the dark, the stern light must be lit.

Know and follow all state and local water-skiing regulations in effect for the waters in which you will be operating.include spandex or similar fabrics like those used in bicycle shorts.• A second person should be on board as a spotter to watch the skier; in most states, it is required by law. Let the skier direct the operator’s control of speed and direction with hand signals. Be sure the seat is locked in place (pg. 2-16) before getting underway.The following are some important con- • siderations for minimizing risks while water-skiing.• The skier should wear an approved PFD, preferably a brightly colored one so boat operators can see the skier.• The skier should wear protective clothing. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water or while reboarding. Normal swimwear does not adequately pro- tect against forceful water entry into rectum or vagina. The skier should wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection. Such clothing includes thick, tight- ly woven, sturdy, and snug fitting apparel such as denim, but does notWhen preparing to pull a skier, oper- ate the boat at the slowest possible speed until the boat is well away from the skier and slack in the tow- rope is taken up. Make sure that the rope is not looped around anything.After checking that the skier is ready and that there is no traffic or other obstacles, apply enough throttle to raise the skier.• Make smooth, wide turns. The boat is capable of very sharp turns, which could exceed the abilities of the skier. Keep the skier at least 50m (164 ft), about twice the distance of a standard towrope, away from any potential hazard.• Be alert to the hazard of the towrope handle snapping back at the boat when the skier falls or is unable to get up on the skis.1-14]]></page><page Index="23" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[RULES OF THE ROadYour Yamaha Boat is legally considered a powerboat. Operation of the boat must be in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the water- way on which it is used.Just as there are rules that apply when you are driving on streets and high- ways, there are waterway rules that apply when you are operating your boat. These rules are used interna- tionally, and are also enforced by the United States Coast Guard and local agencies. You should be aware of these rules, and follow them whenever you encounter another vessel on the water.Several sets of rules prevail accord- ing to geographic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in this Owner’s/Operator’s Manual are condensed, and have been provid- ed for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or Department of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be operating your boat.STEERiNG aNd SaiLiNG RULESWhenever two vessels on the water meet one another, one vessel has the right-of-way; it is called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel that does not have the right-of-way is called the “give- way” or “burdened” vessel. These rules determine which vessel has the right- of-way, and what each vessel should do.SAFETY INFORMATION 1Stand-On VesselThe vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.Give-Way VesselThe vessel which does not have the right-of-way has the duty to take posi- tive and timely action to stay out of the way of the stand-on vessel. Normally, you should not cross in front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You should slow down or change directions briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should always move in such a way that the operator of the other vessel can see what you are doing.The General Prudential Rule regard- ing the right-of-way is that if a collision appears unavoidable, neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boats must avoid the collision.In other words, follow the standard rules except when a collision will occur unless both vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the case, both vessels become give-way vessels.1-15]]></page><page Index="24" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATION RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERiNGVESSELSThere are three main situations that you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are followed:meeting: you are approaching another vessel head-on.Crossing: you are traveling across another vessel’s path.Overtaking: you are passing or being passed by another vessel.In the following illustration, your boat is in the center. You should give the right-of-way to any vessels shown in the white area (you are the give-way vessel). Any vessels in the shaded area must yield to you (they are the give-way vessels). Both you and the meeting vessel must alter course to avoid each other.meetingIf you are meeting another power ves- sel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has the right-of-way! Both of you should alter course to avoid an acci- dent. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule does not apply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.1-16CrossingWhen two power-driven vessels are crossing each other’s path close enough to run the risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on the star- board (right) side must keep out of the way of the other. If the other vessel is on your starboard (right) side, you must keep out of its way; you are the give- way vessel. If the other vessel is on your port (left) side, remember that you should maintain course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you the right-of-way, as it should.]]></page><page Index="25" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OvertakingIf you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.SAFETY INFORMATION 1Narrow Channels and BendsWhen navigating in narrow channels, you should keep to the right when it is safe and practical to do so. If the operator of a power-driven vessel is preparing to go around a bend that may obstruct the view of other water vessels, the operator should sound a prolonged blast of four to six seconds on the horn. If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the horn. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still proceed around the bend with caution.Fishing Vessel Right-of-WayAll vessels fishing with nets, lines or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not con- sidered fishing vessels. Fishing ves- sels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other vessels in narrow channels.Sailing Vessel Right-of-WaySailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:1. When the sailing vessel is overtak- ing the power-driven vessel, the power-driven vessel has the right- of-way.2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of any fishing vessel.3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel should not hamper the safe pas- sage of a power-driven vessel that can navigate only in such a chan- nel.GiVE-WaYgIvE-Way VvESSSELELOTHER SpECiaL SiTUaTiONSThere are three other rules you should be aware of when operating your boat around other vessels.1-17]]></page><page Index="26" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATION“7”RB“L” or RG“L”C “1”OldTop mark Green LightOR“5”White LightOldGreen Light ORNew“6”C “1”“4”N “2”“1” “3” “5” “7”LiGHTEd BUOY (port Hand)Odd number, increasing toward head of navigation.

Simply put, buoys and markers have an arrange- ment of shapes, colors, numbers, and lights to show which side of the buoy a boater should pass on when navigating in a particular direction. The markings on these buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from sea- ward (the boater is going towards the harbor). Red buoys are passed on your starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to your port (left) side. An easy way to remember the meaning of the colors is the phrase “red right returning.” When navigating out of the harbor, your position with respect to the buoys should be reversed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard.Many bodies of water used by boaters are entirely within the boundaries of a particular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters.This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or advisory information. These markers are white with black letters and orange borders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.Remember, markings may vary by geo- graphic location. Always consult local boating authorities before riding your boat in unfamiliar waters.1-19]]></page><page Index="28" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATIONTO GET mORE BOaTiNGSaFETY iNFORmaTiONBe informed about boating safety.

So your enjoyment includes a responsibility to treat these other peo- ple, and the lands, waters, and wildlife with respect and courtesy.Whenever and wherever you are boat- ing, think of yourself as the guest of those around you. Remember, for example, that the sound of your boat may be music to you, but it could be just noise to others. And the exciting splash of your wake can make waves others won't enjoy. Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a respectful distance from fishermen, other boats, swimmers, and populated beaches. When travel in areas like these is unavoidable, operate slowly and obey all laws.Remember that pollution can be harm- ful to the environment. Do not refuel or add oil where a spill could cause dam- age to nature. And keep your surround- ings pleasant for the people and wildlife that share the waterways: don't litter!When you go boating responsibly, with respect and courtesy for others, you help ensure that our waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a variety of recreational opportunities.1-20The Online Boating Safety Course:http:/www.boatus.com/onlinecourse/]]></page><page Index="29"

change position, which may lead to an accident.• Be sure the steering wheel is locked in position after adjust- ment. if the steering wheel is not locked in position, it may suddenly change position during operation, which may lead to an accident.WARNINGN1 Steering wheelYour boat can be steered by turning the steering wheel the same direction you wish to travel, to the right or left. When the wheel is turned, the angle of the jet (output) nozzles at the rear of the craft is changed, and the change in direction of the nozzles changes the direction of the boat accordingly. Since the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle must always be opened above idle when attempting a turn, except at trolling speed.Because boats steer from the stern (rear), the stern of the boat swings out in the opposite direction of your turn. If you turn to the starboard (right), for example, the stern of the boat will swing to the left. Keep this in mind when navi- gating near a person in the water, such as a down skier, or an obstacle, such as a dock.123456789The tilt lev11er 12 i1s3 lo1c4ate15d u1n6de1r7 th1e8 1 steering wheel and is used to adjust thetiltof2t1he2s2tee2r3ing2w4he2e5l.T2h6ere27are28 three positions.2-5131 32 33 34 35 36 37 38To adjust the tilt, pull the lever up, and then move the steering wheel up or41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48down to the desired position.

Failure to attach the cord could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.• do not attach the cord to cloth- ing that could tear loose. do not route the cord in such a way that it could become entangled, pre- venting it from functioning.• avoid accidentally pulling the cord during normal operation. Once the engines have stopped you have no steering control of the boat which could result in an accident. also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapid- ly from planing speed. This could cause people and objects in the boat to be thrown forward, which could cause injury.The clip on the end of the engine shut- off cord must be attached to the engine shut-off switch for the engines to run. The cord must be attached to a secure place on the operator’s personal flota- tion device (PFD).Should the operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip, stopping igni- tion to both engines. This will preventpower.1234567 11 12 13 14 15 16 1712345678921 22 23 24 25 26 2the boat from running away under21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30OFF:11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 191 Engine shut-off switch31 32 33 34 35 36 32 Engine sh2u1t-o2ff2co2r3d w2it4h c2li5p 26 27 28 2 41 42 43 44 45 46 431 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 3maiN SWiTCHES 51 52 53 54 55 56 5 There is a main switch for each engine.41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 4The main switches control the ignition and electrica5l1circ5u2its5a3s f5o4llow5s5: 56 5758 51 21 32 43 54 65 76 87 98 190 11 1121 132 143 154 165 176 187 198 210921 212 223 234 31 312 323 334 41 412 423 4341 2 351 452 553 6 54 Port (left)5e1ng5in2e 531 2 3 4 5 6 711 S1t2arb1o3ard14(ri1g5ht)1e6ng1i7ne18 19 2011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30Ignition circuits are switched off.

Otherwise, the boat may become unstable, which could result in loss of control and an accident.• Do not shift into Reverse while traveling at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat swamping, or damage to the boat could occur.A separate lever for each engine con- trols both throttle and shifting. In nor- mal operation, the levers are moved together. Moving the levers forward from Neutral shifts into the Forward position and then, as the lever is moved far- ther, accelerates the engines for more thrust. Moving the levers back from Neutral shifts into the Reverse position and then, as the lever is moved farther, accelerates the engines for more thrust. The lever must be moved about 35° from Neutral before Forward or Reverse engages and the engine starts to accel- erate.2-731 32 41 423321 3422 3523 3624 3725 3826 31511T6hr1o7ttle1/8Shi1ft9Le2v0er, port (left) side25262728293035 36 37 38 39 4045 46 47 48 49 5021 22 23 241 2 314253647 31 32 33 344331 4432 4533 4634 4735 4836 411 12 13 14 11 12 13 14 15 16 15 6 7 8 9 1021 22 23 24 21 22 5213 5224 5235 524651 52 5341 5442 5543 5644 5745 5846 541 42 43 4451 52 53 54 55 56engine2 Throttle/ Shift Lever, starboard (right)31 32 33 34 31 32 33 34 35 36This boat is equipped with “start-in- gear” protection.

The direction of the boat is controlled by jet pump gates which direct the flow of the jet thrust as follows:ForwardThe jet pump gates are lifted all the way up. All jet thrust is to the rear, which moves the boat forward.NeutralThe jet pump gates are dropped down part way over the jet nozzles. Some jet thrust is to the rear and some jet thrust is redirected forward. This bal- ance of thrust acts like “neutral” to keep the boat from moving. WaRNiNG! Leave the throttles in the idle posi- tion when Neutral is selected. The boat will start moving as if it was in Forward or Reverse if engine speed is increased above idle in Neutral.Free acceleratorThis control is equipped with a “Free Accelerator” button which will allow engines to be accelerated with the jet pump gates in the Neutral posi- tion. WaRNiNG! The boat will start moving as if it were in Forward or Reverse if engine speed is increased above idle in Neutral. Use the Free accelerator only if necessary and be prepared for the possibility of boat movement.2-8ReverseThe jet pump gates are dropped all the way down over the jet nozzles. Jet thrust is redirected toward the bow of the boat, which moves the boat backward.]]></page><page Index="39" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[FUEL TaNK FiLLER CapTo remove the fuel tank filler cap, turn it counterclockwise.N1 2 3 11 12 134 1 5 2 6 3 7 4 8 5 9 6 10 14 1115 1216 1317 1418 1519 1620 21 22 23 24 25 261 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Fuel tank filler capBe sure to tighten the cap securely The fuel level gauge 1 shows the11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2031 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40The speedometer 1 shows the boatN41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 5012345611 12 13 14 15 1621 22 23 24 25 2631 32 33 34 35 3641 42 43 44 45 46 51 52 53 54 55 5651 52N53 54 55 56 57 58 59 601 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 204567 38 29 10speed in miles per hour (mph).4567 38 29 1 110021 3141 5122 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3032 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40FEATURES & FUNCTIONS 23.

Warning IndicatorsThere are three warning indicators in each tachometer to alert you about certain conditions on your boat. These warnings correspond to the engine monitored by the tachom- eter.Check Engine – If a sensor malfunc- tion or a short circuit is detected, the warning indicator will come on. If this occurs, reduce engine speed and return to shore. Have a Yamaha dealer check the engine and cir- cuits.Engine Overheat – This model is equipped with an engine overheat warning system. See the following section for an explanation.Oil Pressure – If oil pressure does not rise to specification, the oil pres- sure warning indicator comes on. At the same time, engine speed reduction control is activated, limit- ing maximum speed to 3000 rpm. If this occurs, reduce engine speed and return to shore. Have a Yamaha dealer check the engine oil pres- sure.FEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2 OvErhEaT WarNINg SySTEmThe engines have an overheat warning device. If either engine starts to over- heat, the engine speed of the affected engine will be limited to 3000 rpm (except California-specification mod- els) and the warning indicator in the tachometer will come on.California specification models: the engines have an overheat and con- trol feature that monitors engine and exhaust cooling. If either engine or its exhaust system starts to overheat, the Engine Overheat indicator will flash. If the engine itself is overheating the engine will slow in stages until it stops. The starter motor will turn over, but the engine will not run again until it cools. An engine with an overheated exhaust system would start again.123456789111 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 490 03 4 551 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 6TIP: If water cooling passages on the engine are dry, it will take about 20 sec- onds for water to reach the pilot outlets after starting.NOTE: All three warning indicators blink when the No-Wake Mode system is engaged (see page 2-15).2-130 0]]></page><page Index="44" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2 FEATURES&FUNCTIONS NOTiCE:if the cause of overheating cannot be found and corrected, take special precautions to avoid major engine damage while you return to shore.SiNGLE ENGiNE OVERHEaTiNG — Shut off the overheating engine and use the properly running engine to return to shore.

To avoid fires and explosions and to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these instructions.• Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never siphon gasoline by mouth. if you should swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immediately. if gasoline spills on your skin, wash with soap and water. if gasoline spills on your clothing, change your clothes.OPERATION 3 fueling dock. All passengers mustbe out of the boat during refueling.3) Remove the fuel tank filler cap, and then slowly add fuel to the fuel tank. Stop filling when the fuel just becomes visible in the bottom of the filler tube. Do not “top off” the tank, because gasoline could spill out.4) Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi- ately.5) Install the fuel tank filler cap. Make sure that the fuel tank filler cap is securely closed.GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Gasohol con- taining methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or engine performance problems.Ring Free Fuel additiveGasoline is a precise blend of many dif- ferent substances, each chosen to give certain characteristics. Gasoline blends have been changing in recent years in response to concerns about pollution and resulting emissions regulations. One of the most obvious changes has been the elimination of lead from fuels.WARNINGRecommended fuel:Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86 (Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2 90 (Research octane number)Fuel tank capacity: 50 US gal (189 L)• •NOTiCE:Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline can seriously damage the engine.Avoid getting water and con- taminants in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can cause poor performance and engine damage. Use only fresh gasoline that has been stored in clean containers.1) Beforerefueling,turnofftheengines. Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition.2) Refuel the boat in a well-ventilated area.

These addi- tives are important for the engines in passenger cars, but they can have det- rimental effects in marine engines.While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, available from your Yamaha dealer. Ring Free has repeatedly proven its ability to clean combustion deposits from inside the engine, notably in the critical piston-ring-land area, and fuel system components. Follow product labeling for use instructions.ENGiNE OiL LEVELCheck the oil level in both engines before each use. Check the oil on each engine when cold to be sure there is enough oil to run the engine.NOTiCE:Be sure the engine has enough oil but do not overfill. if there is too little oil, the engine can be dam- aged. if there is too much oil, the air filter can become saturated with oil, permanently damaging the filter and reducing engine performance. Follow the checking procedure care- fully.Tip:• Each engine has an oil-tank system. It is normal for the oil level to vary depending upon whether the engine is cold or at operating temperature.• Adding 1 US qt. (0.95 lit) of oil will raise the oil level on the dipstick by approximately 2.2 in. (56 mm).ENGiNE OiLRecommended oil:YAMALUBE 4W. If Yamalube 4W is not available, use another 4-cycle oil that meets the following specifications.3-2]]></page><page Index="57" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[To check oil, be sure the boat is level, either in the water or on the trailer. Open the engine compartment by pull- ing up on the two latches located under the front of the rear seat.OPERATION 33) If oil must be added, add just enough oil to raise the level to the “L” mark. Adding more oil could result in an overfilled engine once it warms up.4) Repeat for the other engine.Warm Engine Check1) Be sure the engine is warmed to operating temperature.Tip: The engines are at the proper operating temperature after they have been run for 5 minutes or more at 7000 rpm or above and then at a trolling speed for 2 to 3 minutes. If the boat is on the trailer, run the engine with the flush attachment at an idle speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or at least 13 minutes if air temperature is 59° F (15°C) or colder.2) Remove the oil tank filler cap 1, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag, and then screw the cap on securely. Remove the cap again and check the oil level.3) The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum level marks. If the level is below the “L” mark 2, then add only enough oil to raise the level above the “L” mark but never above the “F” mark 3. NOTICE: if the level is above the “F” mark, the engine is overfilled. Consult a Yamaha dealer to have oil extracted from the engine to avoid damage.4) Repeat for the other engine.113Cold Engine Check1) Remove the oil tank filler cap 1, wipe the dipstick with a clean rag, and then screw the cap on securely. Remove the cap again and check the oil level.2) If the level is at least at the minimum level “L” mark 2 on the dipstick, but less than the “F” mark 3, the engine can be operated.

This ensures proper performance and promotes longer component life.1) Launch the boat and start the engines (see page 3-13).2) For the first 5 minutes, run the engine at trolling speed. For the 30 minutes of operation after that, keep the engine speed below 5,000 rpm. For the hour of operation after that, keep the engine speed below 8,000 rpm.3) Proceed with normal operation.To stop the engine, return the throttle levers to the idle position, then turn the main switches to “Off.” The engines can also be stopped by pulling the engine stop switch lanyard.

Take the time to learn the basic techniques well before attempting more difficult maneuvers.Boating with your new boat can be a very enjoyable activity, providing you with hours of pleasure. But it is essential to familiarize yourself with the operation of the boat to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy boating safely. Before operating this boat, read this Owner’s Manual, the Operation Instruction Card, and all Warning and Caution labels on the boat. Pay par- ticular attention to the safety informa- tion in Chapter 1. Read all warning and caution labels on your boat.This boat is designed to carry one operator and up to nine passengers, as long as the total weight of people does not exceed 1800 lb. (816 kg). Never have more than ten people in the boat.LEaRNiNG TO OpERaTE YOUR BOaTBefore boating, always perform the Pre-Operation Checks listed on page 3-4. The short time spent checking the machine’s condition will reward you with added safety and a more reliable boat.Know and follow U.S. Coast Guard, state, and local laws when operating your boat.Select a wide area to learn in, where visibility is good and other boat traffic is light. Keep the proper distance from other boats and vehicles. Do not oper- ate where people are swimming.Always attach the engine stop switch lanyard to your personal flotation device before operating.You and all other passengers must always wear a U.S. Coast Guard- approved personal flotation device when riding in the boat. You should consider wearing water shoes, eye protection, gloves, and other protective apparel. Water sports increase your risk of injury from contact with your boat, other vessels, docks, rocks, or coral.A water-skier should wear protective clothing. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavi- ties as a result of falling into the water or while reboarding. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into rectum or vagina. The skier should wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equiva- lent protection. Such clothing includes thick, tightly woven, sturdy, and snug fitting apparel such as denim, but does not include spandex or similar fabrics like those used in bicycle shorts.Grip the wheel firmly and keep both feet on the deck when driving the boat.3-16]]></page><page Index="71" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OPERATION 3 TURNiNG THE BOaT input until you apply throttle again orWARNING• do not pull the throttle levers back to idle when trying to steer away from objects – you need throttle to steer.• Be sure passengers are hold- ing on before making turns. an unprepared passenger could lose balance and fall.Steering control depends on the com- bination of steering wheel position and the amount of throttle.Water sucked in through the intake grate is pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump. As the pressurized water is expelled from the pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to move and steer the boat. The higher the engine speed, the more thrust is produced.The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the position of the steering wheel, determines how sharply you turn.A. More throttle produces high thrust, so the boat will turn more sharply.B. Less throttle produces low thrust, so the boat will turn more gradually.C. Pulling the levers back to idle or Neutral produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after pull- ing the throttles back to idle, but one the engine slows down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheelyou reach a trolling speed.At trolling speed, the boat can be turned gradually by steering wheel position alone using just the amount of thrust available at engine idle.D. If the engines are stopped, there is no thrust.

Come to a stop before you reach the dock.2) Notice how wind and water currents are affecting boat movement as you attach your mooring lines and fenders.3) Approach the dock at idle speed. Use reverse as necessary during slow speed maneuvering to help control speed and direction. Position the boat according to wind and water conditions. WaRNiNG! do not use your hand, arm, or other part of your body to try to keep the boat from hitting the dock.You could be injured if the boat pushes against the dock.Wind or current pushing boat away from dock:Slowly approach the dock at about a 45° angle.

It is especially important to understand this character- istic when leaving a dock. If you simply turn the wheel to steer the bow away from the dock, as you would when driv- ing a car out of a parking space, you will drive the stern of the boat into the dock. Following is a basic maneuvering technique which can be used in most circumstances.1) With engines idling and the bow still moored to the dock, turn the steer- ing wheel toward the dock. This will start to move the stern of the boat away from the dock.WIND Or CUrrENT3-20]]></page><page Index="75" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OPERATION 32) When the stern is out a few feet, release the bow mooring then steer in the direction you want the bow to move.

Be sure the boat is in water 3 ft. (90 cm) deep before starting the engines again.• do not beach the boat on rocky beaches. The hull gelcoat and exposed pump housings can be damaged.• pay attention to shifts in tides. Beaching at high tide may make it impossible to re-launch the boat if the tide recedes.aNCHORiNGalways anchor from the bow. anchoring from the stern will make the boat unsteady. a strong cur- rent can pull a stern-anchored boat underwater.Select an anchor appropriate for your boat and water conditions. A “danforth” (or fluke) type anchor is suitable for most applications; your dealer can help you choose an anchor.1) Make sure the anchor line is secure- ly tied to the anchor and to the bow eye.2) Move the boat to the spot where you want to lower the anchor, heading the boat into the wind or current. Stop the boat, then lower the anchor until it hits bottom.3) While keeping tension on the line, slowly back up the boat until you have let out line that is 4 to 6 times the depth of the water. For example, if you are anchoring in 10 feet of water, let out 40 to 60 feet of line. Secure the line.)4) Pull on the line to be sure the anchor is holding. Also, periodically check your boat’s position against the shoreline to make sure it is not drifting and dragging the anchor. Reset if necessary5) To pull in (“weigh”) the anchor, start the engines and move forward, keep- ing tension on the line as you pull it in. When the anchor line is straight up and down, pull hard to lift the anchor from the bottom material.WARNING3-21]]></page><page Index="76" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATION6) If the anchor is stuck on the bottom, try this: Let out a few feet of anchor line and secure the line to the boat, again. Slowly maneuver the boat around the anchor until the anchor pulls loose. Keep the line taut during this procedure.CROSSiNG WaKES aNd SWELLSYou will not always have flat, smooth water. There will be swells and wakes from other boats, etc.The best way to cross wakes and swells is with the least jolt to you and the boat. Small swells are not as diffi- cult to cross as larger swells or wakes. Crossing a sharp wake gives more of a jolt than a broad swell.To cross a wake or swell, change your speed and choose the angle at which you cross the wake or swell. Usually, a slower speed and “quartering” the wake (crossing at an angle) will reduce the jolt.Two other things you may notice. The first is that crossing a group of wakes or swells is not as easy or smooth as crossing just one wake. The second is that when you quarter the wake or swell the boat will try to steer away from the wake or swell. When crossing at a 45° angle, you may not notice this, but at a smaller angle, say 10°, it can be very strong. Be prepared to steer and balance as necessary.SHaRp WaKESBROad SWELLWaKE90°45°10°3-22]]></page><page Index="77" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[pOST-OpERaTiON CHECKSpOST-OpERaTiON CHECKSThese post-operation procedures are developed to help preserve the long- term appearance and reliability of your boat. Perform these procedures as soon as possible after the boat is loaded back on the trailer after the day’s use.Some owners prefer to moor their boat seasonally, rather than keeping it on the trailer between uses. Extended mooring is not recommended. Proper flushing of the cooling system on each engine is not possible with the boat in the water. In addition, conditions such as stray electrical voltage in the water, marine organisms, and saltwater corro- sion can adversely affect the life of many boat components. NOTICE: Leaving the boat in the water for extended periods will accelerate the rate of normal deterioration of the jet pump components, sacrificial anodes, hull finish and other components.If you do decide to moor your boat, be sure to remove it from the water peri- odically to clean the hull and jet pump area. The frequency of maintenance required will depend upon whether the water is salt or fresh and other local water conditions.OPERATION 31) After putting the boat on the trailer, flush cooling system on each engine to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. Refer to page 4-1 for the cooling system flushing procedure.2) Drainresidualwaterfromtheexhaust system by starting the engine, then alternately pushing the control lever up to half throttle and back to idle for 10 to 15 seconds. NOTICE: Never run the engine at full throttle or for more than 15 seconds while the boat is out of the water. The engine may overheat and/or seize.3) Wash down the hull, helm, and both jet drive units with fresh water.4) Open the rear platform hatch, and check for any water pooled on top of the clean-out port caps. If water is found, remove the caps, let water drain, then reinstall the caps.

Hitches are divided into class- es that specify the gross trailer weight (GTW) and the maximum tongue weight. Always use a hitch rated for the same or higher class. Use a bolted-on or welded-on hitch; clamp-on bum- per hitches are not recommended. Be sure the trailer hitch’s release handle is latched with the lock pin installed before towing.Use safety chains between the tow- ing vehicle and the trailer so the trailer will not detach completely from the towing vehicle if it accidentally comes loose from the hitch ball. Crisscross the chains under the trailer tongue so the tongue will not hit the road surface if it falls loose. Rig the chains as tightly as possible while allowing just enough slack to permit tight turns.Be sure the tongue weight (vertical weight on the hitch point) is correct. Generally, 5% to 10% of the combined weight of the boat and trailer should be on the tongue. Too much or too little weight can cause difficult steering or trailer swaying.TRaiLERiNG CHECKLiST• Check your state laws to be sure your trailer meets all regulations, such as proper licensing, brake, axle load, and safety chain require- ments.• Check trailer for any loose fasteners or damaged parts.HiTCHWARNINGavoid accident and injury from improper trailering:• The trailer must be matched for the boat’s weight and hull.• The towing vehicle must have the capacity of pulling the load. pulling a load that exceeds the towing capacity may cause loss of control.• Be sure the boat is secured to the trailer and the trailer is prop- erly hitched to the towing vehicle before towing.A trailer is provided as standard equip- ment with your boat. If you need to obtain another trailer, choose one that is manufactured to carry a boat of the size and weight of your boat. Check the certification label on the left for- ward side of the trailer. This label is required to show the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which is the load carrying capacity of the trailer plus the trailer’s weight. Be sure that the total weight of your boat, any cargo, and the trailer weight itself does not exceed the GVWR.• Check tires for proper inflation. 3-25]]></page><page Index="80" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATION• Check wheel bearings and wheellug nuts before each trip.• Check tail, brake, and turn signal lights for proper operation. •• Secure the bow of the boat to the trailer with the winch line and also with the chain.

It is advis- able to have the boat serviced by an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer before storage. However, the following proce- dures can be performed by the owner with a minimum of tools.FUEL SYSTEmTop off the fuel tank with fresh fuel, adding one ounce of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and Stabilizer or an equiva- lent to each gallon of fuel. A full fuel tank is less likely to allow condensa- tion to collect in the tank, reducing the chance of contaminated fuel. Running the engines with treated fuel during cooling system flushing will also help protect the fuel system.Tip: Use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is to be drained instead.MAINTENANCE & CARE 4 COOLiNG SYSTEm FLUSHiNG55 15115 25 22 35912341234 11 12 13 1412345678911 12 13 14 21 22 23 2411 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 1921 22 23 24 31 32 33 3421 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2 31 32 33 341 Flush Hose Connector31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 3941 42 43 44 4 2 Garden Hose Adapte51r 52 53 54 5541 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 3Cap 51 52 53 54 51) Open the cap for the engine you are going to flush.
