You must comply with these regulations, which apply to boats like your boat which are less than 26 feet long.                                                                           people aboard, plus at least one Type IV (throwable type).                      At least two B-1 type hand-held por- table fire extinguishers.                           It is recommended that a USCG- approved pyrotechnic device be stored on your boat. A mirror can also be used as an emergency sig- nal. Contact your Yamaha dealer or the Coast Guard for more informa- tion.                           Your boat is equipped with a horn that can be used to signal other boats. See “Rules of the Road” for more information.                     Your boat is equipped with naviga- tion lights for use between sunset and sunrise, and during periods of reduced visibility, such as fog. 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:                                                                 “Danforth” type anchor and line that is at least 6-times the depth of the water where you will drop anchor are recommended).                                                                                  - teries.                                            pliers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and electrical tape.                                             boat hook on the other end).                                        spark plugs and fuses.                                        where you will be boating.            1-9]]></page><page Index="18" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATIONCRUISING LIMITATIONS  Scan constantly for people, objects,and other watercraft.

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.It 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 CHARACTERISTICS  Jet 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 in3121 Engine Shut-Off Switch2 Engine Shut-Off Cord with Clip 3                         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.1-12]]></page><page Index="21" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[an 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.                                         while the engine is on. Items such                                           straps can become entangled in moving parts, resulting in severe injury or drowning.INTAKE GRATE  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. See page 2-14 for instructions.1-13SAFETY INFORMATION 1]]></page><page Index="22" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1 SAFETY INFORMATION WATER-SKIINGYou can use the boat to tow a water skier, using the tow cleat provided.It is the boat operator’s responsibility to be alert to the safety of the water-skier                                              and local water-skiing regulations in effect for the waters in which you will be operating.The following are some important con- siderations for minimizing risks while water-skiing.  The skier should wear an approved                                         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 not 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.When 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                                           (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                                              Watersports Tower use.]]></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-                                         - sels have the right-of-way regardless                                           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 VESSSELELOTHER 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 INFORMATIONC “1”OldCAN BUOYOdd number.

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" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Chapter 2 FEATURES & FUNCTIONSLOCATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2-1OPERATION OF CONTROLS AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2-5 Steering ................................................ 2-5 TiltLever................................................ 2-5 EngineShut-OffSwitch..................................... 2-6 MainSwitches............................................ 2-6 Throttle/ShiftLevers ....................................... 2-7                       ....................................... 2-9 Gauges................................................. 2-9 OverheatWarningSystem ................................. 2-13 Switches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2-14 BallastSystem .......................................... 2-16 Swivel Seat Operation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2-17 StereoSystem........................................... 2-18 EngineHood............................................ 2-18 StorageCompartments.................................... 2-18                     ...................................... 2-20 RearWalk-Through....................................... 2-21 SwimPlatform........................................... 2-21 WatersportsTower ....................................... 2-22 CollapsingtheWatersportsTower ........................... 2-22]]></page><page Index="30" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[]]></page><page Index="31" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[FEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2 LOCATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS14132414 8 16 811 1011 1012 3 12 315 8675675 99Main Features:1          2 Battery3 Blower Motor 11                 12 Hood Supports13 Engine Compartment Vent OutletsPort/Starboard Features: 4                  5 Electrical Boxes6 Oil Tanks7 Oil Tank Cap/ Dipstick8 Mufflers                           910 Spark Plugs/ Spark Plug CapsMuffler Boxes17 18 1917 18 192-114 Engine Compartment Vent Inlets 1516                                  17 Jet Pumps18 Jet Thrust Nozzles19 Reverse Gate]]></page><page Index="32" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2 FEATURES&FUNCTIONSB41652 23 33316B5203193 C 33109 6225671718 738 532252112BB A1415661713 16112-2]]></page><page Index="33" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[LOCATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS:Bow LightsBow EyeStorage CompartmentsBow Anchor LockerGrab HandlesCleatsCourtesy Lights                                   Throttle/Shift LeversCoolerStern LadderStern Light SocketSki Tow HookJet Pump Clean-out Access Panel Pump Clean-out Interlock Switches Rear Boarding StepAccessory Pedestal Table Mounts Tilt Adjustable Steering Wheel Glove BoxCenter Walk-Through Walk-Through Transom                           Bow LadderWatersports Tower (212X only, not shown)LOCATION OF STEREO COMPONENTS:A                       B SpeakersC CD Player/ReceiverFEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2123456789101112131415161718192021 22232-3]]></page><page Index="34" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2 FEATURES&FUNCTIONS LOCATION OF MAIN COMPONENTSPORT5STARBOARD589Control Features:1 Speedometer 2 Tachometer 3              4           5 6 7 8 9                    Steering WheelTilt Adjustment LeverSwitches and BreakersBallast System Switch (212X only)645387192346Control Features:1 Hull Drain2 Speedometer Pick-up 3 Steering Nozzle4 Reverse Gates5 Ladder6 Trailer Strap Eyes7 Deck Drain8                         9                                        2-42123DEPTH YAMAHA43 4Rx 1P00M50 6 MPH 3 4Rx 1P00M50 627 2718 8ef40 45 35 503055 2010 6009YAMAHAYAMAHA6709 FuelYAMAHABAFDLILRLL]]></page><page Index="35" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OPERATION OF CONTROLS AND OTHER FUNCTIONSFEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2 TILT LEVERSTEERING  WARNINGNever touch the tilt lever during operation, otherwise the steer- ing wheel could suddenly 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.DEPTHYAMAHA6 2771 Steering wheel3 4xR1P00M50 6 MPH18 8ef09YAMAHAYAMAHAYour 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                                         - gating near a person in the water, such as a down skier, or an obstacle, such as a dock.123 Rx41P00M5009 FuelYAMAHA40 45 35 503055 2010 602-5The tilt lever 1 is located under the steering wheel and is used to adjust the tilt of the steering wheel.

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-                                          the operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip, stopping ignition to both engines. This will prevent the boat from running away under power.3211 Engine shut-off switch2 Engine shut-off cord with clip 3 Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)MAIN SWITCHESThere is a main switch for each engine.

Moving the levers forward from Neutral                                             as the lever is moved farther, acceler- ates 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                                          engine starts to accelerate.2-7]]></page><page Index="38" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2 FEATURES&FUNCTIONSThis boat is equipped with “start-in- gear” protection. The engines will not start unless the levers are in the Neutral position.The shift lever controls the direction of travel.The drive line on the boat is direct drive, so jet thrust is always being pro- duced while the engines are running. 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.ReverseThe 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.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 Accelerator                                            Accelerator” button which will allow engines to be accelerated with the jet pump gates in the Neutral posi- tion.

The pump will run for about 8-1/2 minutes to take on about 630 lb of water.2) To manually stop the pump, briefly press the bottom of the switch (“DRAIN”). If more water is desired, press the top of the switch again. The pump will run for the remainder of the 8-1/2 minutes unless stopped again.3) If more weight is desired after auto- matic filling, press the top of the switch again. The pump will run for 10 seconds to add about 12-1/2 pounds. Press the switch nine times after the auto filling for maximum ballast.Do not overfill.The boat can be serious- ly damaged. If filling ballast completely, remove the rear seat cushions. Watch the bladders to be sure they do not put pressure on the deck above them.4) To reduce ballast weight, press the bottom of the switch. When the desired weight is achieved, briefly press the top of the switch.If the ballast does not fill properly, check the screened intake for clogging. See page 2-4 for location.Draining1) Press the bottom of the switch (“DRAIN”) to drain the ballast. The pump will run for about 10-1/2 min- utes to drain full ballast bladders. The draining can be done at any boat speed; ballast drains more efficiently when the boat is underway. Drain fully before loading the boat on the trailer.2) When the boat is on the trailer still at a stern-down angle on the loadingFEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2ramp, operate the pump again to drain any remaining water. It may be necessary to press or lift the blad- ders to help drain them completely.The ballast system has a manual shut- off valve 1 under the cover between the clean-out ports. If you believe there is a fail- ure in the hoses that is causing the boat to take on water and possibly sink, remove the oval cover and turn the lever 90° clockwise to shut off water intake. Ask your Yamaha dealer to inspect the boat before continuing to use it. It is recommended that you also shut off the valve whenever the boat will be left in the water for a long time.12-17SWIVEL SEAT OPERATION312The driver’s and mid-ship passenger’s seats are two-way adjustable.]]></page><page Index="48" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2 FEATURES&FUNCTIONSTo move the seat forward or back, pull up on the lever 1 located under the front of the seat.

To avoid fires and explosions and to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these instructions.                                     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.                                   Leaded gasoline can seriously damage the engine.                                  - 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) Before refueling, turn off the engines. 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. If the boat is in the water, be sure it is securely moored to the fueling dock. All passengers must be out of the boat during refueling.OPERATION 33) 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.6) Install the fuel tank filler cap. Make sure that the fuel tank filler cap is securely closed.GasoholWARNINGRecommended fuel:Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86 (Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2 90 (Research octane number)                                      There 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 AdditiveAs fuel mixture burns in your engine's combustion chambers, carbon depos- its are left behind. Over time, these deposits can reduce performance and even cause engine damage. Marine engines tend to run at lower operat- ing temperatures than other engines, making them more likely to accumulate                                        3-1]]></page><page Index="58" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATIONAdditive, available from your Yamaha dealer, is formulated to remove existing deposits and, when used continuously, prevent new ones from forming, while also helping to keep fuel injectors and other fuel system components clean for proper performance and longer engine life.ENGINE OILTIP:                                       It is normal for the oil level to vary depending upon whether the engine is cold or at operating temperature.                                                  raise the oil level on the dipstick by approximately 2.2 in. (56 mm).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.Recommended engine oil:Yamalube 4WRecommended engine oil type:SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, 20W-40, 20W-50Recommended engine oil grade:                            11ENGINE 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 engineBe 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.Cold Engine Check1) Remove the oil tank filler cap  , wipe the dipstick with a clean rag, and then screw the cap on securely. Remove the cap again and check the oil level. 3-2]]></page><page Index="59" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2) If the level is at least at the minimum level “L” mark   on the dipstick,                             , the engine can be operated. 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.3) 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                                               colder.2) Remove the oil tank filler cap  , 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.

Pull up forcefully on the T-handle of each cap. If the cap will move, it is not installed properly. Refer to “Jet Pump Clean-Out Procedure” on page 5-5 for proper installation instructions.OPERATION 3Before launching the boat, carefully check the jet intakes under the boat for weeds, debris, or anything else that might restrict the intake of water. If the intakes are clogged, cavitation could occur, reducing jet thrust, and possibly damaging jet pump parts. In some cases, the engine may overheat because of a lack of cooling water, and damage could result. Engine cooling water is fed to the engine by the jet pumps (see page 3-10).Refer to Jet Pump Clean-Out proce- dures on page 5-5 before attempting to remove weeds or debris from the jet intake or impeller areas. WARNING! Rotating parts could cause severe injury or death. Before attempting to remove weeds or debris from the jet intake or impeller areas; shut off the engines, remove ignition key, then remove the engine shut-off switch cord from the shut-off switch.Fuel System                                     INSPECTION,” for correct procedure.Fuel and Engine Oil Levels1) Turn the right switch key to ON.

Consult your Yamaha dealer about any control or function you do not fully understand. Failure to understand how the controls work could cause an accident or prevent you from avoiding an accident.  Attach the engine shut-off switch cord to your personal flotation device or your arm or leg, before operating. Failure to attach cord could result in a runaway boat if operator is ejected.1) Always make sure the boat is launched and used in waters that are free from weeds and debris, and at least 3 ft. (90 cm) deep. WARNING! Never operate in water that is less than 3 ft. (90 cm) deep. You increase your chance of hitting an underwater obstacle. You could be injured. Pebbles or sand can also be sucked into the jet (water) intake, damaging the impeller.Operation 33 FT (90 CM)WARNING3-15There is a hull drain plug at the bottom of the stern in the center.

The starter mechanism could be damaged.                                        continuously for more than 5 sec- onds, the battery will become quickly discharged and it will be impossible to start the engine. The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged continu- ously for more than 5 seconds.On this boat, the engines are connected directly to the drive unit. Starting either engine generates some thrust imme- diately. Only enough throttle should be applied to keep the engine at a fast enough idle to stay running.Do not operate the boat with just one engine running. Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the non-operating engine through the cooling water intake. If single-engine operation is unavoid- able, operate the boat at a “no wake” speed only.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.Once the engines have stopped, you have NO STEERING CONTROL over the boat. You could collide with another boat, a dock, or other obstacle.Remove the ignition keys and the engine stop switch lanyard if the boat will be left unattended.Stopping the engines immediately after operating at high rpm is not recom- mended.

This ensures proper performance and promotes longer component life.1) Launch the boat and start the engines (see page 3-15).                                                                                   minutes of operation after that, keep the engine speed below 5,000 rpm.                                              keep the engine speed below 8,000 rpm.3) Proceed with normal operation.3-18]]></page><page Index="75" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[DRIVING YOUR BOAT GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BOATOperating your boat requires skills acquired through practice over a period of time. 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.The boat is designed to carry one operator along with up to eight pas- sengers, and cargo, as long as the total weight of people and cargo does not exceed 1840 lb (834 kg). Never have more than nine people in the boat (or eight persons if a water skier is being pulled). On the 212X model, a full bal- last weighs 750 lb. (340 kg), which must be included in the maximum load.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.OPERATION 3                                       state, and local laws when operating your boat.Select a wide area to learn in, where visibility is good and other boat traffic                                                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 bot- tom 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.3-19]]></page><page Index="76" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATIONTURNING THE BOAT input until you apply throttle again orWARNING                                        back to idle when trying to steer away from objects – you need throttle to steer.                                  - 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. The boat will go straight even though the steering wheel is turned.YOU NEED THROTTLE TO STEER.3-20]]></page><page Index="77" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[TURNING LEFTOPERATION 3BOATING WITH PASSENGERSWARNINGWhen passengers are on board, make sure they are seated and hold- ing on before you start to acceler- ate. An unprepared passenger could lose balance and fall.Your boat is designed for one operator and up to eight passengers only. Never have more than nine people in the boat. Passengers must sit in one of the seats and hold onto the grips. Passengers should sit so the weight in the boat is balanced from side-to-side and bow-to- stern as much as possible. If the pas- senger seat in front of the helm is used, be sure the operator’s view ahead is not obstructed.BOARDING FROM THE WATERWARNINGSevere internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of being near the jet thrust nozzles.  Do not board from the rear, use swim platform, or swim behind boat if engines are running.  Stay away from the back of the boat when engines are running.Stay away from the swim step while the engines are running. Exhaust gases coming from underneath it contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odor- less gas which may cause brain dam- age or death when inhaled.

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 fend- ers.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. Secure the bow to the dock, then use engine thrust or a boat hook to gently move the stern to the dock.400 ft (122 m)345 ft (105 m)WARNING                                          you completely pull the throttles back to idle. You need throttle to steer.                                      slow down or stop the boat from planing speed 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 serious injury.The boat is not equipped with a sepa- rate braking system. It is stopped by water resistance after the throttle levers                                           the boat stops in approximately 400 ft. (122m) after the throttle is moved back to idle. The stopping distance varies depending on gross weight, water sur- face conditions, and wind direction. The stated straight-line stopping distance should be used for a reference. The boat slows down as soon as the throttle levers are returned to idle but will coast for a distance before fully stopping. If you are not sure you can stop in time before hitting an obstacle, apply throttle and turn in another direction.3-23]]></page><page Index="80" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATIONWind or current pushing boat towarddock:2) When the stern is out a few feet, release the bow mooring then steer in the direction you want the bow to move. Open the throttle slightly and begin to move away from the dock.BEACHING1) Make sure no obstructions, boats or swimmers are near the beach.2) Approach the beach slowly and stop the engines when the water is about 3 ft. (90 cm) deep. Remember: turn- ing is impossible with the engine stopped.3) Get out of the boat and pull the bow up on the beach.4) When leaving the beach, push the boat out into water that is at least 3 ft. (90 cm) deep before starting the engines.  Small pebbles, sand, seaweed, and other debris can be ingested into the jet intake and impair or damage the impeller. Always stop the engines before beaching the boat. 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.Slowly maneuver to a shallow angle and allow the boat to move toward the dock.No wind or current:Approach the dock at a shallow angle. Secure the bow to the dock, then use engine thrust or a boat hook to gently move the stern to the dock.LEAVING A DOCKBecause boats steer from the stern, the stern first moves in the direction oppo- site your desired turn. 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                                         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.3-24]]></page><page Index="81" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[ANCHORING 4)Always anchor from the bow. Anchoring from the stern will makethe boat unsteady. A strong cur-rent can pull a stern-anchored boat 5) 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                                       if you are anchoring in 10 feet of water, let out 40 to 60 feet of line. Secure the line.OPERATION 3Pull 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 necessary.To pull in (“weigh”) the anchor, start the engines and move forward, keeping 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 mate- rial.WARNING3-256) 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                                         this procedure.]]></page><page Index="82" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATIONCROSSING 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 difficult 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 bal- ance as necessary.SHARP WAKESBROAD SWELLWAKE90°45°10°3-26]]></page><page Index="83" 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) Drain residual water from the exhaust system by starting the engine, then alternately pushing the control lever up to half throttle and back to idle for 10 to 15 seconds.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. See Page 5-5 for more information.3-27]]></page><page Index="84" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATION5) Remove hull drain plug   and the engine compartment drain plugs  . Rinse the engine compartment with a small amount of fresh water. Be careful not to get water on the carburetor or electrical components. Allow any water in the bilge to drain out. After the water has drained, wipe the engine compartment and bilge with dry rags. Reinstall all drain plugs.1Tighten the hull drain plug   secure- ly before launching the boat. Clean any foreign material, such as dirt or sand, from the threads before installing the drain plug.21 6) Spray a rust inhibitor, such as Yamaha Silicone Protectant and Lubricant, on metallic parts to mini-3-28mize corrosion.]]></page><page Index="85" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OPERATION 3TRAILERINGAvoid accident and injury from improper trailering:                                        the boat’s weight and hull.                                    the capacity of pulling the load. Pulling a load that exceeds the towing capacity may cause loss of control.                                        the trailer and the trailer is prop- erly hitched to the towing vehicle before towing.                                      the trailer by the manufacturer.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.HITCHThe trailer hitch ball must match the size of the socket on the trailer hitch coupler. 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 requirements.  Check trailer for any loose fasteners or damaged parts.WARNING  Check tires for proper inflation. 3-29]]></page><page Index="86" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATION                                      lug 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. Secure the stern cleats to the trailer with tie-downs.it is a good idea to carry a set of spare wheel bearings, seals, and races.  When making a turn, do not cut cor- ners. The trailer has a smaller turn- ing circle so it turns more sharply around the corner than the towing vehicle.  Before backing your trailer into the water, disconnect the light plug from the towing vehicle. This will reduce the likelihood of the lights blowing out when submerged.BACKING YOUR TRAILERIt takes practice to back a trailer suc- cessfully. If you are not familiar back- ing up with a trailer, practice first in an open area away from obstacles.  Take down and store the bimini top,if used. The top is not designed to                                   stay unsecured on the boat at high- way speeds. See page 3-13.  Carry a spare tire for the trailer, along with sufficient tools to change the tire.  While traveling, check the wheel hubs on the trailer whenever you park. If the hub feels abnormally hot, have the bearing inspected before continuing your trip. On longer trips,  Back slowly. Make steering adjust- ments in small steps.  Turn the towing vehicle’s wheels opposite the direction you want the trailer to go.  After the trailer begins moving, turn the towing vehicle to follow it.  Have a second person stand by to help direct you with hand signals.3-30]]></page><page Index="87" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[LAUNCHINGOPERATION 35) Back the trailer farther into the water until just the tops of the fenders show, then reset the parking brake. Board the boat and start it. If pos- sible, remain on the trailer until the engines are warm and are respond- ing to throttle.6) Back the boat out into the water, watching carefully for people, other boats, or obstacles.LOADINGAs a courtesy to other boaters, prepareyour boat for launching before using 1) the ramp.Each launch may have particular differ- ences, such as ramp angle, prevailingwind, waves, and water currents. If possible, watch a couple of boaters launch their boats first to notice any problems. While every boater developsa preferred launch procedure, here is a 2) recommended general procedure:1) Perform the Pre-Operation Checks shown on page 3-4 that can be per- formed on land, including operating the blower for at least 4 minutes.2) Remove all trailering tie-down lines from the boat and attach your dock- ing lines and fenders, if used.3) Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If possible, have a second person stand aside as an observer. Stop when the wheels are at least halfway submerged. Set the parking brake.4) Remove the bow line from the bow eye.Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If possible, have a second per- son act as an observer while stand- ing to the side of the boat. Stop when the tops of the trailer’s fenders are about 3 inches above the water- line.With the boat moving at the slow- est idle speed, guide the boat onto the support rails. Use throttle only if necessary for steering ability. WARNING! Using too much throt- tle can cause the boat to jump over the front of the trailer which can result in injury to the boat operator and bystanders. Use only enough throttle to maneuver the boat into the correct position.3-31]]></page><page Index="88" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3 OPERATION3) Make sure the boat is centered on the support rails and is headed straight for the bow stop (bumper board). Ease the boat forward until the bow rests against the bow stop. NOTICE: The winch line is not designed to pull the boat onto the trailer.4) Attach and tighten the winch line.NOTICE: The winch line should not be the only line securing the bow during trailering. Use the chain along with the winch to secure the boat to the trailer.5) Pull the trailer up the ramp out of the way of other boaters. Attach the bow and stern tie-downs. Reconnect the trailer lights.                                        on page 3-27.LIFTINGDo not attach lifting cables to the bow eye, cleats, water-ski tow eye, or grab handles. Serious damage to the boat can occur. Use only a sling designed specifically for lifting boats.If you need to remove the boat from the water without a trailer, use these guidelines:  Use a sling-type lifting mechanism designed for lifting boats. The sling should be covered with a protective material to prevent damage to the hull gelcoat.  Use spreader bars to avoid side stress to the hull that may cause cracks in the gelcoat and fiber- glass.  Attach guidelines to the bow eye and stern tie-down cleats to control movement of the boat during lifting.  Remove all people and all cargo from the boat. Drain any excess water from the bilge using the bilge pump.  Be sure all people are standing clear, then lift boat slowly and just far enough to verify that the boat is securely held and properly bal- anced. If necessary, lower the boat again and adjust the slings.  When ready, lift the boat slowly and carefully.3-32]]></page><page Index="89" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE AND CARESTORAGE ................................................... 4-1              ............................................. 4-1                          ................................... 4-1Lubrication .............................................. 4-2 Battery.................................................. 4-3 Cleaning................................................ 4-3MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-5                                         ....................... 4-5 Periodic Inspection Chart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-6 GreasePoints............................................ 4-7                        ..................................... 4-9           ............................................... 4-10                    ......................................... 4-10             ............................................... 4-11 Steering Cable Inspection. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-12 Controls(Throttle/Shift).................................... 4-13 Reverse Gate Mechanism Inspection. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-13 SacrificialAnodes........................................ 4-14                   ....................................... 4-15 Battery................................................. 4-15SPECIFICATIONS............................................ 4-18 212SS................................................. 4-18 212X.................................................. 4-19]]></page><page Index="90" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[]]></page><page Index="91" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[STORAGEStoring your boat for prolonged peri- ods of time, such as winter storage, requires preventative maintenance to ensure against deterioration. 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 SYSTEM                                                                                  and Stabilizer or an equivalent to each gallon of fuel. Do not “top off” the tank, because fuel could spill. 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:                                 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 FLUSHING121                      2 Garden Hose AdapterCooling system flushing is essential to prevent the cooling system from clog- ging up with salt, sand, or dirt.1) Open the cap for the engine you are going to flush. Press the flush kit garden hose adapter into the flush hose connector and turn until they are securely connected.2) Start the engine, then immediately turn on the water supply fully.  Never turn on the water before starting the engine. The water could flow back through the muf- fler into the crankcase causing severe engine damage.  Be sure to turn on the water imme- diately after starting the engine to prevent engine overheating.3) Run the engine at a fast idle for 10 to 15 minutes.4-1]]></page><page Index="92" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[4 MAINTENANCE & CARE4) Turn off the water supply, then drain residual water from the exhaust system by alternately pushing the throttle lever up to half throttle and back for 10 to 15 seconds. Shut off engine.Never have the water on when the engine is not running. The water could flow back through the muffler into the crankcase causing severe engine damage. Do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds after the water supply has been turned off to avoid engine overheating.5) After stopping the engine, remove the garden hose adapter.6) Replace the cap securely.7) Repeat the flushing procedure for the other engine.LUBRICATION1) Open the hood (see page 2-18).2) Lift the locking tab 1 on the air filter case. Turn the air filter case cap 2 counterclockwise and then remove the case cap.3) Remove the air filter element 3.4) Spray a rust inhibitor such as                                      the intake opening 4 for 3 seconds. WARNING! Do not spray flam- mable rust inhibitor on engine surfaces while the engines are hot. The sprayed substance or propellants could catch fire.5) Reinstall the air filter. Reinstall the air filter case cap by lifting the tab and turning the cap clockwise until it stops.6) Start the engine in a well-ventilated area and let it run at a fast idle for 15 seconds.Do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds. The engine could over- heat.4-2]]></page><page Index="93" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[7) Grease the areas of the boat speci- fied in “Grease Points” in the adjust- ment and maintenance section.BATTERYWith the battery switch in the Off position, the bilge pump will not work, even if the bilge pump switch is in the On position.

Galvanic corrosion can damage metal surfaces below the waterline on any boat, particularly in saltwater. These “sacrificial” anodes are designed to erode in these conditions first, before metal components of your jet pump outlets are seriously damaged.  ANODEInspect the anodes each time the boat is removed from the water. It is normal for them to look corroded and rough. Replace the anodes when they are approximately one half of their original size.                                      necessary can result in perma- nent damage to the jet pump out- lets and other metal components on the boat.                                     of any kind will prevent the anode from functioning, exposing other components to galvanic corro- sion damage.Replacement ProcedureWhen the anode has eroded to approx- imately one-half its original size, it should be replaced. Ask your dealer for this service or you can do it yourself if you have a torque wrench of the proper type.1) Unscrew the two mounting bolts that secure the anode to the jet pump outlet.2) Clean the mounting-bolts threads, then coat them with Loctite® 242, available from your Yamaha dealer.3) Install the new anode. Tighten the mounting bolts to specification.1Anode Bolt Torque:50~80 kgf-cm (47~70 inch-pounds)4-14]]></page><page Index="105" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[  Ignition coil holder   Cap                                         MAINTENANCE & CARE 4WARNINGFUSE REPLACEMENTThe fuse is in the ignition coil holder.

A good rule of thumb is a tow rope which is three times the combined length of the towing boat and the boat.Tow the boat using the bow eye only. Tow the boat at a “no wake” speed. NOTICE: Do not tow the boat at speed fast enough to leave a wake. Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the non- operating engines through the cool- ing water intake.                                        must keep speed to a minimum and avoid traffic or obstacles which could be a hazard to the driver on the boat.                                        must keep speed to a minimum and avoid traffic or obstacles which could be a hazard to either boat.                                       enough so the towed boat will not collide with the towing boat when slowing down.RUNNING ON ONE ENGINEIf one engine becomes inoperative, the properly running engine can be used to return to shore. Operate at a “no wake” speed to prevent water from flooding the non-operating engine through the cooling water intake. The “No-Wake Mode” system can be used for this pur- pose. (See page 2-14.)Do not operate the boat above a “no wake” speed with just one engine. Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the non- operating engines through the cool- ing water intake.WARNING15-3]]></page><page Index="116" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[5 TROUBLE RECOVERY JUMP STARTINGWARNINGSEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF YOU IGNORE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:                                         2) Connect one end of the negative (–) jumper cable to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery.3) Connect the other end of the nega- tive (–) cable to an engine hanger on either side of the engine oil tank.ENGINE HANGER  engine compartment by opening engine compartment hatch for several minutes before attempt- ing a jump start.                                    jumper cable to the negative (–) terminal of the dead battery.

Any wrong connection may damage the electrical system.4) Start the engine, then disconnect the cables by reversing the above steps.Do not turn the starter motor for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not start in 5 seconds, release the starter switch and try again after 15 seconds. Continuous cranking for more than 5 seconds will discharge the battery and the engine will not start. The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged continu- ously for more than five seconds.If the boat battery runs down, the engines can be started in an emergen- cy using a 12-volt battery and jumper cables.To connect the jumper cables:1) Connect the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery to the positive ter- minal (+)of the booster battery with the positive jumper cable.5-4]]></page><page Index="117" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[TROUBLE RECOVERY 5JET PUMP CLEAN-OUT PROCEDURESEVERE INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF YOU IGNORE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:   Turn off and remove both ignition keys, remove lanyard, and wait for all movement to stop before removing access port caps.   Never override interlocks to run engine with hatch open.   The impeller has sharp edges. Be careful when reaching into jet pump area.If weeds or debris get caught in the intake or impeller, cavitation can occur, and though the engine speed rises, forward thrust will decrease. If this condition is allowed to continue, pump damage can occur and the engines may overheat and seize. If there is any sign that the jet intake or impeller is clogged with weeds or debris, follow this cleanout procedure.1) Turn off and remove ignition keys, remove lanyard, and wait for all movement to stop.2) Lift the hatch on the rear platform.3)Check that the retaining cord is securely attached to the cap and retaining strap. Press the release button and lift the cap up out of the port. Set the cap where it cannot be accidentally knocked overboard.WARNING5-54)5)Remove any weeds or debris from the drive shaft, impeller, pump hous- ing, and steering nozzle. If you can- not remove the debris, consult your Yamaha Boat Dealer.To reinstall the access port cap, first clean off any sand or other foreign matter from the cap or port surfaces. Insert the cap so that its slot faces the bow and lines up with the projec- tion in the access port wall.]]></page><page Index="118" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[5 TROUBLE RECOVERY6) Press the T-handle down firmly to lock the cap in place. Pull up force- fully on the handle to be sure it is locked. If a strong pull will move the handle, it is not locked securely – the cap could be forced out by water pressure during operation.   Be sure the caps are locked securely in place. Otherwise the cap could be forced out of the access ports by water pressure, causing loss of performance and possible damage.   The hatch cover has interlocks to shut off the engines should the hatch be accidentally opened during operation. The engines will not restart unless the hatch is closed and latched.5-6]]></page><page Index="119" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Chapter 6CONSUMER INFORMATION & INDEXLIMITED WARRANTY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6-1                                      . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6-4 YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6-8 BOATING TERMS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6-9                   ........................................ 6-10 INDEX...................................................... 6-11]]></page><page Index="120" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[]]></page><page Index="121" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[CONSUMER INFORMATION & INDEX 6 YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A.YAMAHA BOAT LIMITED WARRANTYYamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. hereby warrants that new Yamaha Boats will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for the period of time stated herein, subject to certain stated limitations.PERIOD OF WARRANTY: The hull and deck on any new Yamaha Boat purchased for pleasure use from an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer in the United States will be warranted against major structural defects for a period of five (5) years in pleasure use, or for one (1) year in commercial applications.

The receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of this outboard, personal watercraft, or boat equipped with a personal watercraft engine.The emission control systems of your Yamaha outboard motor or personal watercraft engine were designed, built, tested, and certified as being in conformity with California emission control regu- lations using genuine Yamaha parts. It is recommended that any replacement parts(s) used for maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control systems be Yamaha parts. The owner may elect to have maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems performed by any repair establishment or individual, and may elect to use parts other than Yamaha parts for such maintenance, replacement, or repair without invalidating this warranty. However, the cost of such service or parts will not be covered under the warranty.6-6]]></page><page Index="127" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[CONSUMER INFORMATION & INDEX 6EXCLUSIONS: No warranty coverage will be allowed if the part(s) failure was caused by owner/ operator abuse, neglect, tampering, improper adjustment unless performed by a dealer during warranty repair work, modification, misuse, alteration, or improper maintenance (see your Owner’s Manual).Use of parts which are not qualitatively equivalent to genuine Yamaha parts, improper service, or lack of required maintenance which causes failure of a warranted part may constitute abuse and/ or improper service, thereby invalidating warranty liability hereunder.This warranty does not cover damage resulting from accidents, acts of nature, or other events or occurrences beyond the control of Yamaha. Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. expressly disclaims responsibility for any and all consequential damages, such as loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the outboard motor, personal watercraft, or boat equipped with a personal watercraft engine, or commercial loss.Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.

You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.  Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for you: 12 months, 24 months, or 36 months beyond the 1-year warranty cover- age period. That means you can get up to 5 years of coverage on the power train, controls, and other components to match the comforting 5-year standard protection on the hull.  Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your war- ranty–and it shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no limitations on hours of use. Coverage isn’t limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers manufactur- ing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory- backed protection can be.  You don’t have to pay anything for cov- ered repairs. There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t “prorated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.  In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to $150 reimbursement per occurrence for any rea-sonable expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs covered service: replace- ment vehicle rental, emergency towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb cov- erage goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.  Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any autho- rized Yamaha dealer nationwide.  Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha Boat much more valuable!This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still within the first year of the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha Extended Service. We urge you to act now. You’ll get the excellent benefits of TRIP coverage right away, and you’ll rest easy knowing you’ll have strong factory-backed protection even after your Yamaha Limited Warranty expires. See your dealer today!A special note:If visiting your dealer isn’t convenient, contact Yamaha with your Primary ID number or Hull Identification Number. We’ll be happy to help you get the Y.E.S. coverage you need.Yamaha Service Marketing P.O.
