Muddy Or Acidic Water; Anti-Fouling Paint; Outboard Motor Disposal Requirements; Emergency Equipment - Yamaha F175A Owner's Manual

does not recommend gasohol containing
methanol because it can cause fuel system
damage or engine performance problems.
It is recommended that you install a water-
separating marine fuel filter assembly (10 mi-
cron minimum) between your boat's fuel tank
and outboard motor when using ethanol. Eth-
anol is known to allow moisture to be ab-
sorbed into boat fuel tanks and systems.
Moisture in the fuel can cause corrosion of
metallic fuel system components, starting
and running complaints and require addition-
al fuel system maintenance.

Muddy or acidic water

Yamaha strongly recommends that you have
your dealer install the optional chromium-
plated water pump kit if you use the outboard
motor in muddy or acidic water conditions.
However, depending on the model it might
not be required.

Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-
rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit ma-
rine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
