                        Sailing vessel right-of-way
                        Sailing vessels should normally be given the

                        (1) When the sailing vessel is overtaking 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

                          lead to an accident.
                         Be sure the steering wheel is locked in
                          position after adjustment. If the steering
                          wheel is not locked in position, it may

                        The tilt lever is located  under the steering
                        wheel and is used to adjust the tilt of the

                        you return to shore.
                        If getting a tow from another vessel is not
                        possible,  operate engine just slightly
                        above idle while you return to shore. If you
                        can be towed, refer to “Towing the boat”
                        on page 153.

                             WARNING
                        Failure to inspect or maintain the boat properly increases the possibility of an accident
                        or damage to the boat. Do not operate the boat if you find any problem.
                        If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided in this manual, have the
                        boat inspected by a Yamaha Boat Dealer.

                        Pre-operation checklist
                        Before operating this boat, perform the checks in the following checklist. Always follow the in-
                        spection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this owner’s/operator’s man-
                        ual.
                        Pre-operation checks should be made each time the boat is used. These checks can be com-
                        pleted in a short time. It is worth the time spent to ensure safety and reliability.

                                                              steering cable and shift cable inner wires and
                        will also help protect the fuel system.
                                                              apply a thin coat of grease to them.
                        TIP:
                        Use of Fuel Med RX eliminates the need to
                        drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha Boat
                        Dealer or other qualified mechanic if the fuel
                        system is to be drained instead.

                        Boat Dealer to have the engine fogged for
                        long-term storage.
