                           overload the boat, causing poor handling and

                        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.

                        The 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, num-

                            Safety information

                        This system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or
                        advisory information. These markers are white with black letters and orange borders. They
                        signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.

                         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

                        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.

                         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 97
                            for information on checking  the  engine
                            oil level.)
                        (2) Launch the boat and start the engines.
                            (See page 114 for information on starting
                            the engines.)
                        (3) For the first 5 minutes, operate with the
                            engines at trolling 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 6000 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 inspec-
                        tion and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this owner’s/operator’s manual.
                        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.

                        Operation

                        (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.





                                   Sharp wakes





                                    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 balance as neces-
                        sary.
