control, or fire hazards.
Because the motor is very heavy, spe-
cial equipment and training is required
to mount it safely.
Your dealer or other person experienced in
proper rigging should mount the motor using
14
correct equipment and complete rigging in-
structions. For further information, see page

Remote control requirements

WARNING
If the engine starts in gear, the boat can
move suddenly and unexpectedly, pos-

start-in-gear protection device is not
working correctly and you should dis-
continue using the outboard. Contact
your Yamaha dealer.
The remote control unit must be equipped
with a start-in-gear protection device(s). This
device prevents the engine from starting un-
less it is in neutral.
