YAMAHA LIT-CALIF-65-01 TO THE OWNER Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Boat. This Owner's Manual contains information you will need for proper operation, maintenance, and care.

Install the cord clip onto the engine shut-off switch by pushing the clip groove over the nut beneath the knob. Be sure the cord is not wrapped around the steering wheel or tangled in the controls. 3) Put the control levers in the Neutral position. Turn the ignition key of one engine to "Start. " When the engine starts, release the key. Repeat for the other engine. 3-14 OPERATION CAUTION: Never turn the ignition key to "Start" while the engine is running. Do not keep the starter motor running for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not start after 5 seconds of cranking, release the starter button. Wait at least 15 seconds before trying to start the engine again. If the starter motor is engaged continuously for more than 5 seconds, the battery will be quickly discharged, and it will be impossible to start the engine. The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged continuously for more than 5 seconds. NOTE: Be sure the shift lever is put in the Neutral position or the starter motor will not operate. On this boat, the engines are connected directly to the drive unit. Starting either engine generates some thrust immediately. Only enough throttle should be applied to keep the engine at a fast enough idle to stay running. 3 STOPPING THE ENGINES CD T T FM 1 3 5 2 4 BLOWER PW V V ON OFF START JVC AM 6 OFF #2 ON ST To stop the engine, return the throttle levers to the idle position, then turn the main switches to "Off. " The engines can also be stopped by pulling the engine stop switch lanyard. WARNING Once the engines have stopped, you have NO STEERING CONTROL over the boat. You could collide with another boat, a dock, or other obstacle. NOTE: Remove the ignition keys and the engine stop switch lanyard if the boat will be left unattended. Stopping the engines immediately after operating at high rpm is not recommended. Let the engines cool off at idle or low speed for a few minutes first. CAUTION: Do not operate the boat with just one engine running. Severe engine damage could result because water can flood the non-operating engine through the cooling water intake. If single-engine operation is unavoidable, operate the boat at a "no wake" speed only. 3-15 3 OPERATION BREAK-IN PROCEDURE The engine break-in period is essential to allow the various components of the engine to wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. This ensures proper performance and promotes longer component life. 1) Launch the boat and start the engine (see page 3-13).
