INFO General information How to use this manual Manual format The format of this manual has been designed to make service procedures clear and easy to under- stand. Use the information below as a guide for effective and quality service. 1 Parts are shown and detailed in an exploded diagram and are listed in the components list.
Parts, lubricants, and sealants Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants, and sealants or those recommended by Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the out- board motor. Ventilation Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are heavier than air and extremely poisonous.
Safety while working / Identification 6. Keep a supply of clean, lint-free cloths for wiping up spills, etc. Good working practices Special service tools Use the recommended special service tools to protect parts from damage. Use the right tool in the right manner—do not improvise. 3.

INFO General information Features and benefits Fuel system A pressure regulator is built into the vapor separator to obtain compact and simple fuel delivery structure. A plastic fuel rail is used to prevent it from corrosion and for light weight. Fuel discharged from the pressure regulator returns to the vapor separator after cooling down through the fuel cooler.
Features and benefits Solenoid valve Just after the engine is stopped, the cooling water supply is also stopped and the heat is conducted to the vapor separator from the engine, causing birth of many fuel vapor gases. The vapor gases are fed into the intake silencer to reburn them. However, many vapor gases are sucked into the combustion chambers, causing a rich air and fuel mixture, which is difficult to restart the engine.
INFO General information Electronic control system The electronic control system is built up by the sensors and the ECM (Electric control Module). The ECM receives signals from the sensors and determines the air and fuel mixture (A/F), and igni- tion timing. Under various condition, the ECM gives the best-suitable engine operation.
Features and benefits ECM (Electric Control Module) This engine is controlled by the ECM to obtain precision combustion under various operations, and can realize high power output, low fuel consumption, and low emission. The ECM controls the ignition timing, fuel injection timing, and the fuel injection volume, and ensures that the optimum ignition timing and air and fuel ratio can be achieved in all operating con- ditions such as engine starting, normal operation, and quick acceleration.
INFO General information Variable trolling RPM switch (optional) This device is an optional equipment for tiller handle model. The idling and/or trolling rpm can be controlled in the range of 620 through 900 r/min with 50 r/min interval. Especially for 620 through 700 r/min, the engine rpm is controlled with 40 r/min interval. Pushing and holding the switch changes rpm continuously at 50 r/min interval.
Features and benefits / Propeller selection Propeller selection Selection When the engine speed is at the full throttle The performance of a boat and outboard operating range (5,000–6,000 r/min), the motor will be critically affected by the size ideal propeller for the boat is one that pro- and type of propeller you choose.
INFO General information Predelivery checks NOTE: To make the delivery process smooth and If the engine oil is below the minimum level efficient, the predelivery checks should be mark b, add sufficient oil until the level is completed as explained below. between a and b.
Predelivery checks Checking the outboard motor mounting height 1. Check that the anti-cavitation plate is aligned with the bottom of the boat. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation will occur and propulsion will be reduced. Also, the engine speed will increase abnormally and cause the engine to overheat.

Yamaha Diagnostic System Introduction Features The newly developed Yamaha Diagnostic System provides quicker detection and analysis of engine malfunctions for quicker troubleshooting procedures than traditional methods. By connecting your computer to the ECM (Electronic Control Module) of an outboard motor using the communication cable, this software can be used to display sensor data and data stored in the ECM on a computer’s monitor.
