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 Disassembly and assembly 6. Keep a supply of clean, lint-free cloths for 1. Use compressed air to remove dust and wiping up spills, etc. dirt during disassembly. Good working practices 2. Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces Special service tools of moving parts before assembly.

INFO General information 2. Check that the positive and negative bat- tery leads are securely connected. Checking the outboard motor mounting height 1. Check that the anti-cavitation plate is between the bottom of the boat and a maximum of 25 mm (1 in) a below it. If the mounting height is too high, cavitation will occur and propulsion will be reduced.
Predelivery checks Checking the steering system Checking the gear shift and throttle 1. Check the steering friction for proper operation adjustment. 1. Check that the gear shift operates smoothly when the shift lever or remote control lever is shifted from neutral to for- ward or reverse.
INFO General information Checking the engine start switch, engine stop lanyard switch and engine stop button 1. Check that the engine starts when the engine start switch is turned to START. (WH, W) 2. Check that the engine turns off when the engine start switch is turned to OFF.

Shimming Example: If “M3” is 26.05 mm and “P” is (+5), then T3 = 26.05 – 25.5 – (+5)/100 mm = 0.55 – 0.05 mm = 0.60 mm 5. Select the pinion shim(s) (T3) as follows. Calculated numeral Rounded numeral at 1/100th place 1, 2 3, 4, 5...
LOWR Lower unit Calculation formula: Forward gear shim thickness (T1) = 25.70 + F/100 – M1 Example: If “M1” is 25.30 mm and “F” is (+4), then T1 = 25.70 + (+4)/100 – 22.30 mm = 25.70 + 0.04 – 25.30 mm = 0.44 mm 3.
Shimming Calculation formula: Reverse gear shim thickness (T2) = M2 – 26.90 – R/100 Example: If “M2” is 27.32 mm and “R” is (+5), then T2 = 27.32 mm – 26.90 mm – (+5)/100 = 27.32 – 26.90 + 0.05 = 0.47 mm 4.
