                        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
                            only in such a channel.

                          lead to an accident.
                         Be sure the steering wheel is locked in

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

                        To adjust the tilt:
                        (1) Push the lever down, and then move the
                            steering wheel up or down to the desired
                            position.
                        (2) The lever will lock into place when the
                            steering wheel is moved into one of the 5
                            available positions.
                        (3) Make sure that the tilt lever returns to its
                            original  position and that  the steering
                            wheel is securely locked in place.

                        when the boat is traveling in reverse, use the

                        result in loss of control and an accident.
                        To activate the reverse RPM control:
                        (1) Move the remote control lever backward
                            so that the throttle is opened in reverse
                            and the engine is operating at the same
                            engine speed.
                        (2) Increase the engine speed to 4500 rpm,
                            and then push the plus side of the no-
                            wake mode/cruise assist switch.
                        TIP:
                        Once the reverse RPM control is activated,
                        pushing the plus  side of the no-wake

                             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-

                            want to lower the anchor, heading the
                            boat into the wind or current. Stop the
                            boat, and then lower the anchor until it
                            hits bottom.                                 Sharp wakes

                            ter. For example, if you are anchoring in
                            10 feet of water, let out 40–60 feet of line.  Broad swell
                            Secure the line.
                                                              To cross a wake or swell, change your speed
                        (4) Pull on the line to be sure the anchor is
                                                              and choose the angle at which you cross the

                                                              wake. The second is that when you quarter
                            anchor line is straight up and down, pull
                                                              the wake or swell, the boat will try to steer
                            hard to lift the anchor from the bottom
                                                              away from the wake or swell. When crossing
                            material.
                                                              at a 45° angle, you may not notice this, but at
                        (6) If the anchor is stuck on the bottom, try

                            this: Let out a few feet of anchor line and
                                                              Be prepared to steer and balance as neces-
                            secure the line to the boat, again. Slowly
                                                              sary.
                            maneuver the boat around the anchor
                            until the anchor pulls loose. Keep the line  Wake

                        The best way to cross wakes and swells is
                        with the least jolt to you and the boat. Small      45˚      10˚
                        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.

                        Towing the boat
                             WARNING
                         The  operator of the  towing boat must
                          keep  speed to a minimum  and avoid
                          traffic or obstacles which could be  a
                          hazard to either boat.
                         The towing line should be long enough
                          so the towed boat will not collide with
                          the towing boat when slowing down.

                        The boat should be towed only if it becomes
                        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.
