                                        skimming on top of the water. There is a wake.
                          Port          The left side of the boat.
                          Stand-on      The vessel with the right-of-way when two boats meet.

                             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.

                        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
                        use an equivalent according to the manufac-
                        turer’s instructions. (See page 97 for informa-
                        tion on filling the fuel tank.) Do not “top off”
                        the tank, because fuel could spill. A full fuel
                        tank is  less likely  to allow  condensation to
                        collect in  the tank, reducing the chance of  1900 cc engine models
                        contaminated fuel. Running the engine with
                        treated fuel during  cooling system flushing
                        will also help protect the fuel system.
                        TIP:
                        Use of Fuel Med RX eliminates the need to
                        drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha Boat
