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 one B-1 type hand-held portable fire extinguisher.                           It is recommended that a USCG- approved pyrotechnic device be stored on your boat. A mirror can also be used as an emergency signal. Contact your Yamaha dealer or the Coast Guard for more information.                           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 infor- mation).ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONSThe following equipment can help make your boating experience safer and more enjoyable:                                                                      - forth” type anchor and line that is at least 6-times the depth of the water where you will drop anchor are rec- ommended).                                                                                  - teries.                                        pliers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and electrical tape.                                             boat hook on the other end).                                        fuses.                                        where you will be boating.            1-8]]></page><page Index="19" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[SAFETY INFORMATION 1                                       water, bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident causing injury or death.

Exhaust fumes con- tain 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 en- gines 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.SAFETY INFORMATION 1 BOAT CHARACTERISTICS                                          the throttle levers completely back to idle or the Neutral position pro- duces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above troll- ing, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after moving the throt- tle levers back to idle, but once the engines slow down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheel in- put until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed. Practice turning in an open area without ob- structions until you have a good feel for the maneuver.                                        - 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.                                        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.

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, tightly woven, sturdy, and snug fitting apparel such as denim, but does not include spandex or similar fabrics like those used in bicycle shorts.SAFETY INFORMATION 1                                     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.                                       - 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.                                     is capable of very sharp turns, which could exceed the abilities of                                           50m (164 ft), about twice the dis- tance of a standard towrope, away from any potential hazard.                                         handle snapping back at the boat when the skier falls or is unable to get up on the skis.                                      Wakeboard Tower use.1-13]]></page><page Index="24" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1RULES 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 waterway on which it is used.                                        you are driving on streets and high- ways, there are waterway rules that ap- ply when you are operating your boat. These rules are used internationally, 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 according to geographic location, but are all ba- sically 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 wa- ters 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 deter- mine which vessel has the right-of-way, and what each vessel should do.SAFETY INFORMATION1-14Stand-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 ves- sel 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 regarding the right-of-way is that if a collision ap- pears 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.]]></page><page Index="25" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING VESSELSThere 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 an- other 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.SAFETY INFORMATION 1MeetingIf you are meeting another power ves- sel head on, and are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you                                           alter course to avoid an accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left) side. This rule does not ap- ply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.1-15CrossingWhen 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="26" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1SAFETY INFORMATIONOvertakingIf 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. Like- wise, if another vessel is passing you, you should maintain your speed and direction so that the other vessel can steer itself around you.Narrow 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-                                           have the right-of-way regardless of po-                                           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 passage of a power-driven vessel that can navigate only in such a channel.OTHER SPECIAL SITUATIONSThere are three other rules you should be aware of when operating your boat around other vessels.1-16]]></page><page Index="27" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1-17SAFETY INFORMATION1]]></page><page Index="28" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[1READING BUOYS AND OTHER MARKERSThe waters of the United States are marked for safe navigation by the lateral system of buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers have an arrangement 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 per- spective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the harbor). Red buoys are passed on your star- board (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 posi- tion 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 let- ters 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.SAFETY INFORMATION1-18]]></page><page Index="29" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[TO GET MOREBOATING SAFETYINFORMATIONBe 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                                        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.1-19The Online Boating Safety Course:http://www.boatus.com/onlinecourse/]]></page><page Index="30" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[]]></page><page Index="31" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Chapter 2 FEATURES & FUNCTIONSLOCATION OF MAIN COMPONENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 at- tempting 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 ex- ample, the stern of the boat will swing to                                         - ing near a person in the water, such as a down skier, or an obstacle, such as a dock.The tilt lever   is located under the steering wheel and is used to adjust the tilt of the steering wheel. There are three positions.To adjust the tilt, pull the lever up, and then move the steering wheel up or down to the desired position. The lever will lock into place when the wheel is moved into one of the three available positions.2-5AUDIO DISPLAY OPTION ADJUSTDISC AIPUOXD AFM SATRET/IUI RN MENU RETURN ENTER]]></page><page Index="38" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2ENGINE SHUT-OFF SWITCH                                     off cord to your personal flota- tion device (PFD) or arm or leg, BEFORE starting the engines.

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 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 produced while the engines are running. The di- rection of the boat is controlled by jet pump gates which direct the flow of the jet thrust as follows:ForwardWhen the remote control levers are ini- tially moved to the forward position and the boat is operating at a slow speed, the shift gates are lifted up slightly from the neutral position and jet thrust is directed downward at an angle. This function, which is called the thrust di- rectional enhancer (TDE), helps to pro- vide good handling response when the steering wheel is turned, even though there is less thrust available at low en- gine speeds. When the remote control levers are moved farther forward, the shift 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 balance of thrust acts like “neutral” to help keep the boat from moving, although some movement may occur. 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.2-8ReverseThe jet pump gates are dropped all the                                          is redirected toward the bow of the boat, which moves the boat backward.]]></page><page Index="41" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[FUEL TANK FILLER CAPTo open the fuel tank filler cap, press the button on the bottom of the cap to release the latch.FEATURES & FUNCTIONS 2Both tachometer faces have an LCD screen  .

If the engine starts to overheat, “ENGINE OVER TEMP” will appear on the LCD display of the affected engine. The buzzer also begins to sound. The engine speed is automatically limited to help prevent damage. If this occurs, immediately reduce the engine speed, return to shore or maneuver to a safe location, and check for water discharge at the cooling water pilot outlets.Each engine is equipped with cooling- water pilot outlets   on the starboard side of the hull. The port side engine is the one closest to the bow. Check that water comes out of the outlet while the engine is running, particularly while applying throttle. If you do not see any water at the outlet, cooling water may not be circulating in the engine.If water is not circulating, something may be clogging the jet intake grate.                                       procedures on page 5-5 for further information.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. Operate at “no wake” speed to prevent water from flooding the non-operating engine through the cooling water intake. See page 2-15 for “No Wake Mode” system op- eration.BOTH ENGINES OVERHEATING — If getting a tow from another vessel is not possible, operate both engines just slightly above idle while you return to shore. If you can be towed, refer to “Towing the boat” on page 5-3. TIP: If water cooling passages on the engines are dry, it will take about 20 seconds for water to reach the pilot out- lets after starting.2-13]]></page><page Index="46" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[2SWITCHESFEATURES & FUNCTIONSCourtesy Light34Rx1P00M50 67 218 09MTBLOWER20MPH301040 45 BILGE3 Rx1P00M0 6 050 27helm.This switch turns on the light   located    in the recess on the gunwale near the18 HORN 09NAV/ANCMT  CLOTUSRT  AQUA PLAYPORT STBD   12V   Blower  Bilge Pump  Courtesy Lights  Lights  Horn  No Wake Mode (Port)  No Wake Mode (Starboard)BlowerPress this switch to turn on the blower to ventilate the engine compartment.

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.                                  - nants in the fuel tank. Contami- nated fuel can cause poor perfor- mance and engine damage. Use only fresh gasoline that has been stored in clean containers.1) Before refueling, turn off the en- gines. 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) Open the fuel tank filler cap, and then slowly add fuel to the fuel tank. Stop filling when the fuel just be- comes 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) Close the fuel tank filler cap. Make sure the fuel tank filler cap is se- curely closed.GasoholWARNINGRecommended fuel:Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86(Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2 90 (Research octane number)                                      3-1There 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.Engine Med RX Fuel AdditiveAs the fuel mixture burns in your en-gine’s combustion chambers, carbondeposits are left behind. Over time,these deposits can reduce performanceand even cause engine damage. Ma-rine engines tend to run at lower oper-ating temperatures than other engines,making them more likely to accumulatethese harmful deposits. Engine MedRX, available from your Yamaha Boat]]></page><page Index="62" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3OPERATIONDealer, 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:                                       - tem. It is normal for the oil level to vary depending upon whether the engine is cold or at operating tem- perature.                                                  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 pulling up on the two latches located under the front of the rear seat.Recommended oil:Yamalube 4WRecommended engine oil type:SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, 20W-40, 20W-50Recommended engine oil grade:                              ENGINE OIL LEVELCheck the oil level in both engines be- fore 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 damaged. If there is too much oil, the air filter can become saturated with oil, perma- nently damaging the filter and reduc- ing engine performance. Follow the checking procedure carefully. 3-2]]></page><page Index="63" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[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.2) If the level is at least at the minimum level “L” mark   on the dipstick, but                              , the en- gine can be operated. NOTICE: If the level is above the “F” mark, the engine is overfilled. Consult a Yamaha dealer to have oil ex- tracted 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 re- sult in an overfilled engine once it warms up.4) Repeat for the other engine.OPERATION 3Warm Engine Check1) Be sure the engine is warmed to operating temperature.TIP: The engines are at the proper oper- ating 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 trail- er, run the engine with the flush attach- ment at an idle speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or at least 13 minutes if air temperature                           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. If the level is below the “L” mark  , then add only enough oil to raise the level above the “L” mark                                     . NOTICE: If the level is above the “F” mark, the engine is overfilled.

See the instructions supplied by the extinguisher manufac- turers to determine indication of condi- tion. As an inboard boat less than 26 feet in length, your boat must be fit- ted with one B-1 type fire extinguisher when navigating waters controlled by the U.S. Coast Guard. In addition, most state and local boating laws require that the craft carry a USCG-approved fire extinguisher whenever the boat is operated.                                        equipment with this boat. If you do not have them, contact your local Yamaha Boat dealer or fire extinguisher dealer for ones meeting the proper specifica- tions.One fire extinguisher is to be mounted in the port side storage compartment. The fire extinguisher recommended for this location is a chemical-type extin- guisher with a capacity of two pounds or more.If you choose to have two fire extin- guishers, the other fire extinguisher is to be mounted inside the compartment under the rear passenger seat on the                                     - ter seat in the rear passenger area.

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                                   - SPECTION,” for correct procedure.Fuel and Engine Oil Levels1) Turn the right switch key to ON.

The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged contin- uously 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 an- other 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.

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 neces- sary 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 particular attention to the safety information in Chapter 1. Read all warning and caution labels on your boat.This boat is designed to carry one oper- ator along with up to eight passengers, and cargo, as long as the total weight of people and cargo does not exceed 1840 lb. (835 kg). Never have more than nine 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 ma- chine’s condition will reward you with added safety and a more reliable boat.                                       state, and local laws when operating your boat.OPERATION 3Select 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 vagi- na. The skier should wear a wetsuit bot- tom or clothing that provides equivalent 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="80" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3OPERATIONTURNING THE BOAT                                        back to idle when trying to steer away from objects – you need throttle to steer.                                      on before making turns. An un- prepared 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, de- termines 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 wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed.D.At trolling speed, the boat can be turned gradually by steering wheel position alone using just the amount of thrust available at engine idle.If the engines are stopped, there is no thrust. The boat will go straight even though the steering wheel is turned.WARNING3-20You need throttle to steer.]]></page><page Index="81" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Turning LeftOPERATION 3 BOATING WITH PASSENGERSWARNINGWhen passengers are on board, make sure they are seated and hold- ing on before you start to accelerate. 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.                                         swim platform, or swim behind boat if engines are running.                                        boat when engines are running.                                      while the engines are running.

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.OPERATION 31) Make sure no obstructions, boats or swimmers are close to the boat. 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. Posi- tion 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.

Also, periodically check your boat’s position against the shoreline to make sure it is not drifting and dragging the anchor. Reset if necessary.WARNINGAlways anchor from the bow. Anchor- ing from the stern will make the boat unsteady. A strong current 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 se- curely tied to the anchor and to the bow eye.2) Move the boat to the spot where you want to lower the anchor, head- ing the boat into the wind or current. Stop the boat, then lower the an- chor 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.5) 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 ma- terial.6) 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.

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.OPERATIONSHARP WAKESBROAD SWELLWAKE90°45°10°3-26]]></page><page Index="87" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[POST-OPERATIONCHECKS POST-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 wa- ter. In addition, conditions such as stray electrical voltage in the water, marine organisms, and saltwater corrosion can adversely affect the life of many boat components. NOTICE: Leaving the boat in the water for extended peri- ods will accelerate the rate of normal deterioration of the jet pump compo- nents, sacrificial anodes, hull finish and other components.If you do decide to moor your boat, be sure to remove it from the water periodi- cally 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 con- ditions.OPERATION 31) After putting the boat on the trailer, flush cooling system on each en- gine to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. Refer to page 4-1 for the cool- ing system flushing procedure.2) Drain residual water from the ex- haust system by starting the en- gine, 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 en- gine 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 remove the clean-out-port caps to let any water drain that has pooled on them. If the boat will be stored on the trailer nearby, leave the caps out until you prepare to launch the boat again. If the boat will be trans- ported on the trailer any distance, temporarily reinstall the caps and close the platform hatch until you get home. Open the hatch again when you arrive and remove the caps as before. Leave the caps loose until you plan to transport the boat on the trailer again. NOTICE: Leaving the caps out when you are not using or transporting the boat helps keep them from becoming stuck in the clean-out ports.3-27]]></page><page Index="88" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[35) Remove hull drain plug   and the engine compartment drain plug  . Rinse the engine compartment with a small amount of fresh water. Be careful not to get water on the car- buretor 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. Check the con- dition of the hull drain plug O-ring and replace if necessary. NOTICE: Water can enter the boat if the drain plug O-ring is damaged or missing. Reinstall all drain plugs.OPERATION Tighten the hull drain plug   securely before launching the boat. Clean any foreign material, such as dirt or sand, from the threads before installing the drain plug.6) Spray a rust inhibitor, such as Yamaha Silicone Protectant and Lubricant, on metallic parts to mini- mize corrosion.  3-28]]></page><page Index="89" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OPERATION 3TRAILERINGAvoid accident and injury from im- proper trailering:                                   the boat’s weight and hull.                                    capacity of pulling the load. Pull- ing a load that exceeds the tow- ing 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 man- ufactured to carry a boat of the size and weight of your boat. Check the certifica- tion label on the left forward 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.HITCHWARNING3-29The trailer hitch ball must match the size of the socket on the trailer hitch coupler. Hitches are divided into classes 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 weld- ed-on hitch; clamp-on bumper hitches are not recommended. Be sure the trail- er 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                                          your trailer meets all regulations, such as proper licensing, brake, axle load, and safety chain require- ments.                                         or damaged parts.                                    ]]></page><page Index="90" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3OPERATION                                      lug nuts before each trip.                                           lights for proper operation.                                            trailer with the winch line and also with the chain.

The trailer has a smaller turn- ing circle so it turns more sharply around the corner than the towing vehicle.                                             water, disconnect the light plug from the towing vehicle. This will reduce the likelihood of the lights blowing out when submerged.                                       if used. The top is not designed to stay unsecured on the boat at high- way speeds.

If you are not familiar backing up with a trailer, practice first in an open area away from obstacles.OPERATION 3As a courtesy to other boaters, prepare your boat for launching before using the ramp.Each launch may have particular differ- ences, such as ramp angle, prevailing wind, waves, and water currents. If pos- sible, watch a couple of boaters launch their boats first to notice any problems. While every boater develops a preferred launch procedure, here is a recom- mended 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 per- son stand aside as an observer. Stop when the wheels are at least halfway submerged. Set the park- ing brake.4) Remove the bow line from the bow eye.5) Back the trailer farther into the wa- ter 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.                                                                          -ments in small steps.                                        opposite the direction you want the trailer to go.                                         the towing vehicle to follow it.                                          help direct you with hand signalsLAUNCHING3-31]]></page><page Index="92" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[3LOADING1) 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 fend- ers are about 3 inches above the waterline.2) 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.Using too much throttle 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 maneu- ver the boat into the correct position.3) 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 se- cure 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. Recon- nect the trailer lights.

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 guide- lines:                                      designed for lifting boats.

It is advisable to have the boat serviced by an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer before storage. However, the following procedures can be performed by the owner with a mini- mum of tools.FUEL SYSTEM                                                                                              from your Yamaha dealer, or an equiva- lent to each gallon of fuel. Do not “top off” the tank, because fuel could spill. A full fuel tank is less likely to allow con- densation to collect in the tank, reduc- ing the chance of contaminated fuel. Running the engines with treated fuel during cooling system flushing will also help protect the fuel system.TIP:                                    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 FLUSHING                             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.                                       starting the engine.

The boat has two access points for this purpose. One access point is the floor  . Remove the floor section to see the fuel tank. The other access point is inside the port-side storage compartment  . Remove the seat cushion, then look up inside the compartment to see the fuel filler hose and clamp.WARNING 4-10]]></page><page Index="107" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[FUEL SYSTEM CLEANINGIf the fuel system needs to be cleaned or when any water is found in the fuel system, take the boat to your Yamaha dealer for service.ENGINE OIL/FILTEREngine oil is extremely hot after the engine is turned off. Coming into contact with or getting any engine oil on your clothes could result in burns.                                      oil but do not overfill. If there is too little oil, the engine can be damaged. If there is too much oil, the air filter can become saturated with oil, permanently damaging the filter and reducing engine performance.                                          - sure warning indicator comes on when the engine is running, immediately turn the engine off and have a Yamaha dealer check the boat. Continuing to operate under such conditions could cause severe engine damage.MAINTENANCE & CARE 4It is recommended to have a Yamaha dealer change the engine oil and oil filter. However, if you choose to change the oil and oil filter on your own and you have the special equipment necessary to do so, refer to the service manual for this boat.Dispose of used oil according to local regulations.WARNING4-11]]></page><page Index="108" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[4AIR FILTERThe air filter element should be checked every 12 months or every 100 hours of operation.To check the air filter:1) Open the hood (see page 2-20).2) Lift the locking tab   on the air filter case. Turn the air filter case cap   counterclockwise and then remove the case cap.3) Remove the air filter element  .4) Replace the filter every 2 years or every 200 hours, whichever comes first, or if it becomes contaminated with dirt or oil.5) Reinstall the air filter, then lift the locking tab and install the case cap, turning it clockwise until it stops.STEERING CABLE INSPECTIONBe sure to check:1) Check for smooth operation of the wheel and steering nozzles.2) Check for proper steering adjust- ment. The nozzles should both point straight back when the steer- ing wheel is centered.If steering is stiff or misadjusted, ask your Yamaha dealer to service it.MAINTENANCE & CARE4-12   ]]></page><page Index="109" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[CONTROLS (THROTTLE/SHIFT)Check the control levers for smooth operation and proper shifting.1) Remove the engine stop switch cord (lanyard) and ignition keys.2) Push and pull the control levers through their full range, from Neutral                                        from Neutral to Reverse. Operation should be smooth.3) While a second person watches from the stern, move the control le-                                      that the shift gates lift completely to the stops.4) While the second person watches, move the levers back to the Reverse position. Check that the shift gates drop down over the nozzles to the stops.If the controls do not operate smoothly or correctly, ask your authorized Yamaha Boat dealer for service.MAINTENANCE & CARE 4 REVERSE GATE MECHANISMINSPECTION1) Remove the engine stop switch lan- yard and ignition keys.2) Put the throttle levers in the idle position (otherwise the shift lever will not move).                                         the Neutral position while a second person observes shift gate move- ment from outside the boat.

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 out- lets 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 ap- proximately 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. Anode Bolt Torque:50~80 kgf-cm (47~70 inch-pounds)4-14]]></page><page Index="111" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[MAINTENANCE & CARE 4WARNINGFUSE REPLACEMENT    The fuse is in the electrical box. To replace the fuse, unscrew the cap and pull the two red leads out with the fuse holder. Open the fuse holder and replace the fuse.  Electrical Box   Cap                            Accessory FuseDo not use fuses of higher amperage that those recommended. Substitu- tion of a fuse of improper rating can cause extensive electrical system damage and possible fire.BATTERYThese general guidelines apply to many commonly used battery types (but not, for example, to maintenance-free bat- teries). Consult the battery manufac- turer’s instructions before performing battery maintenance.Check the level of the battery fluid and see if the terminals are tight. Add dis- tilled water if the fluid level is low.                                        - tery on its side.                                    before adding distilled water or recharging.

Operate at a “no wake” speed to prevent water from flooding the non-operating engine through the cool- ing water intake. The “No Wake Mode” system can be used for this purpose (see page 2-15.)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-op- erating engines through the cooling water intake.WARNING   Bow eyeThe boat should be towed only if itbecomes inoperative.The towing rope should be long enough so that the boat will not collide with the towing boat when slowing down. 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 (5mph, 8km/hr). Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the non-operating engines through the cooling water intake.5-3]]></page><page Index="122" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[5TROUBLE RECOVERYJUMP STARTINGSevere injury or death may result if you ignore any of the following:                                       - tilate engine compartment by opening engine compartment hatch for several minutes before attempting 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 continuously for more than five seconds.5-4]]></page><page Index="123" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[JET PUMP CLEAN-OUT 3) PROCEDURESevere injury or death may result if you ignore any of the following:                                     keys, remove lanyard, and wait for all movement to stop before removing access port caps.                                        engine with hatch open.                                     Be careful when reaching into jet pump area.If weeds or debris get caught in the in- take or impeller, cavitation can occur, and though the engine speed rises, for- ward 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.TROUBLE RECOVERY 5Check 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) Remove any weeds or debris from the drive shaft, impeller, pump housing, and steering nozzle. If you cannot remove the debris, consult your Yamaha Boat Dealer.5) To reinstall the access port cap, first clean off any sand or other foreign matter from the cap and port sur- faces. Apply a light coat of water- resistant Yamalube Marine Grease (P/N: ACC-GREAS-10-CT), if avai- labe, as needed to the seal of the clean-out port cap. If grease is not available, apply the grease during the post-operation checks.6) Insert the cap so its slot faces the bow and lines up with the projection in the access port wall.]]></page><page Index="124" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[56) Press the T-handle down firmly to lock the cap in place.

May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner’s Manual instead of having the dealer do them?A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha Boat dealer.Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new boat exactly as specified in the Owner’s Manual?A. No. The warranty on a new boat cannot be “voided” or “cancelled.” However, if a particular fail- ure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the Owner’s Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty? A. Each Yamaha Boat dealer is expected to:1. Completely set up each new boat before sale.2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date. In addition, each Yamaha Boat dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners?A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has tobe inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer for the policy to remain effective.CUSTOMER SERVICEIf your boat requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha Boat dealer within the United States.
