                        Sailing vessel right-of-way
                        Sailing vessels should normally be given the
                        right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:
                        (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

                         NOTICE

                        Failure to perform the engine break-in
                        could result in reduced engine life or even
                        severe engine damage.
                        The engine break-in period is essential to al-
                        low the various components of the engines to
                        wear and polish themselves to the correct
                        operating clearances. This ensures proper
                        performance and promotes longer compo-
                        nent life.
                        (1) Check the engine oil level. (See page 80
                            for information on checking  the  engine
                            oil level.)
                        (2) Launch the boat and start the engines.
                            (See page 96 for information on starting
                            the engines.)
                        (3) For the first 5 minutes, operate with the
                            engines at idling speed.
                        (4) For the next 30 minutes, operate with the
                            engines speed below 5000 r/min.
                        (5) For the next 1 hour, operate with the en-
                            gines speed below 6500 r/min.
                        After the engine break-in is complete, the
                        boat can be operated normally.

                             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.

                        (5) To pull in (“weigh”) the anchor, start the  the wake or swell, the boat will try to steer
                            engines and move forward, keeping ten-  away from the wake or swell. When crossing
                            sion on the line as you pull it in. When the  at a 45° angle, you may not notice this, but at
                            anchor line is straight up and down, pull  a smaller angle, say 10°, it can be very strong.
                            hard to lift the anchor from the bottom  Be prepared to steer and balance as neces-
                            material.                         sary.
                        (6) If the anchor is stuck on the bottom, try
                            this: Let out a few feet of anchor line and  Wake
                            secure the line to the boat, again. Slowly
                            maneuver the boat around the anchor
                            until the anchor pulls loose. Keep the line
                            taut during this procedure.
                                                                  90˚
                        Crossing wakes and swells
                        You will not always have flat, smooth water.
                                                                            45˚
                        There will  be  swells and wakes from other                  10˚
                        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

                        Fuel system
                        Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel, adding one
                        ounce of Fuel Med RX, available from your
                        Yamaha Boat Dealer, to each gallon of fuel or

                        tion on filling the fuel tank.) Do not “top off”
                        the tank, because fuel could spill. A full fuel

                                                               Steering cable ball joints and inner wire
                        collect in  the tank, reducing the chance of
                                                              Grease the steering cable and shift cable ball

                        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.
                        Lubrication
                        It is advisable to take the boat to a Yamaha
                        Boat Dealer to have the engine fogged for
