Yamaha. Your EdgeWater 200CC / DC comes only with a single engine. There are three major components of the engine throttle and shift controls: handles, throttle cable, shift cable. Throttle and shift cables are push- pull and are connected to the fuel system (carburetor or fuel injection) and the other to the shift rod linkage.
If the engine will not crank properly, the lanyard may not be properly attached to the engine stop switch. Do not use the engine stop switch to stop the boat unless it is an emergency as it may impair your ability to quickly re-start the engine. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
Propulsion System 3.1 General Your new EdgeWater 200CC / DC is designed to be powered by a single outboard motor. Most 2-cycle outboards currently use an automatic system to mix the oil with the gasoline before the engine uses it.
The power tilt and trim system on your outboard provides the ability Tilt to optimize the running angle of your EdgeWater 200CC / DC to allow for load and sea conditions. Moving the outboard lower unit toward the transom is generally referred to as trimming “in”, while moving the outboard lower unit away from the transom is referred to trimming “out”.
The tachometer can be used to better understand the performance of your engine and your EdgeWater 200CC / DC. By monitoring your tachometer as you operate your EdgeWater, you will find RPM ranges that work better in certain sea and load conditions. Be alert the tachometer operation may provide an early indication of difficulty, before it becomes irreversible.
Instrument Maintenance Your instrument faces should be periodically cleaned to keep them free of salt and atmospheric debris. The ignition switches should be periodically sprayed with a contact cleaner/lubricant to keep them free of corrosion and dirt. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
Make sure this vent is kept free from debris. 4.4 Fueling Your EdgeWater 200CC / DC is equipped with a built-in 92 gallon fuel tank. Before fueling, you should follow these procedures. Make sure the boat is securely moored.
4.6 Fuel Filters A fuel filter is installed in the transom area of your EdgeWater 200CC / DC. This is a fuel/water separator type of filter and is designed to prevent water from entering your engine.
Electrical System 5.1 General Your EdgeWater 200CC / DC operates on a 12 volt DC system, similar to your automobile. The battery or batteries are typically lead acid type and require similar maintenance to your car’s battery. An electrical schematic is included in the appendix for specific location of electrical components.
The following checks should be made periodically to assure your system operates properly: • Periodically spray pumps with a protective silicone solvent to reduce corrosion. • Fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use. • Periodically check hoses and connections for signs of deterioration.

7.1 General All water drains from your EdgeWater 200CC / DC by gravity. Your boat is self-bailing at rest. It is important to check drains frequently to make sure they are clear and free flowing. Review the schematic in the Appendix and become familiar with the location of each thru-hull drain.
Appendix. 7.7 T-Top Drain (optional T-Top for the 200CC) There are small holes drilled into the bottom of the hard-top to facilitate the removal of any water that might inadvertently get into the structure. These should be periodically checked, especially during freezing weather, as trapped water could freeze, expand, and damage the hard-top.
Never discharge your fire extinguisher to see if it still works. This will cause it to lose pres- sure. If it is accidentally discharged or if it is used on a fire, replace it immediately. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...

It is advisable to carry jackets or foul weather gear in the event of adverse weather conditions. Your EdgeWater 200CC / DC is equipped with a maximum capacity rating plate permanently affixed to the helm area of your boat. It will provide information regarding the maximum number of people you can safely have aboard, the maximum amount of weight the boat can safely carry, and the maximum horsepower your boat was designed to handle.
Along the coast lines and in navigable inland waters, aids to navigation have been placed by the U.S. Coast Guard. These have been placed for the boating public’s safety. Please become familiar with them and learn to use them to make your boating safer and more fun. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
After coming on plane, raise the trim to a point where the engine is level with or slightly above the plane of the water. This is usually with the bow at about 3 to 5 above level. This will provide the smoothest, most economical operation. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
Start with the engine tilted. If that does not work well lower the engine until it is about perpendicular. You should never attempt to plane off the boat being towed. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
Turn off all electronics and leave the battery switch in the off position. Remember, the bilge pump will operate properly even with the battery switch turned off. On a comforting note, your EdgeWater 200CC / DC is fully self bailing and unsinkable. Proper precautions, however, are always prudent. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
It is prudent to go to a large paved area with little traffic to practice these maneuvers before attempting them on the boat ramp. Remember to check to see if the tow ball is the same size as the trailer coupler. Never use a different size. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
When properly done, this method is easy, safe and will not harm boat ramps by powering away the soil from the base of the ramp. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
Do not use products with ammonia on your Plexiglas windscreen. It can mar the surface and reduce its transparency. A mild soap and water or non-ammonia cleaner will work well. In addition to ammonia, cleaners should not be used which contain solvents, acetone, or alcohol. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
Consult the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for specific instructions. In areas where there is a conflict between this manual and the engine manufacturer’s manual, the engine owner’s manual will take precedence. EdgeWater 200CC / DC...
11.1 Anchor Locker The anchor locker on your new EdgeWater 200CC / DC has been designed for a danforth style 13 S anchor. Your anchor line should have a shackle attached to the free end which is then attached to the eye in the anchor locker.
