[. . . ] Slightly tilt up the engine until the tiltsupport bar automatically returns to the free position. Then, slowly lower the engine to the normal position. 3) 402022 3-29 E EMU01319 CRUISING IN SHALLOW WATER Power tilt model The engine can be tilted up partially to allow operation in shallow water. 000922 w 8 Place the gear shift in the Neutral position before setting for shallow water cruising. 8 Return the engine to its normal position as soon as the boat is back in deeper water. N cC 701015 UP DN UP DN Do not tilt up the outboard motor so that the cooling water inlet of the lower unit is above the surface of the water when setting for and cruising in shallow water. Otherwise severe damage from overheating can result. EMU01320 PROCEDURE 1) 701034 2) Place the gear shift lever in the neutral position. Slightly tilt up the engine using the power tilt switch. DN UP 000610 3-30 E EMH60010 CRUISING IN OTHER CONDITIONS CRUISING IN SALT WATER After operating in salt water, wash out the cooling-water passages with fresh water to prevent them from becoming cloggedup with salt deposits. NOTE: Refer to cooling system flushing instructions in "TRANSPORTING AND STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR". CRUISING IN TURBID WATER It is strongly recommended that the optional chromium-plated water-pump kit be installed if the outboard is to be used in turbid (muddy) water conditions. 3-31 E EMK00010 Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE 1 2 3 4 5 6 SPECIFICATION DATA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-1 TRANSPORTING AND STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-3 Trailering outboard motor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-3 Storing outboard motor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-5 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-9 Replacement parts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-9 Maintenance chart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-10 Greasing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-11 Cleaning and adjusting spark plug . . . 4-12 Checking fuel system . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-14 Inspecting fuel filter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-15 Adjusting idling speed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-16 Changing engine oil. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-17 Checking timing belt. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-19 Replacing fuse. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-20 Checking wiring and connectors. . . . . . . 4-20 Exhaust leakage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-20 Water leakage. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-20 Checking power tilt system. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-21 Checking propeller. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-22 Changing gear oil. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-24 Cleaning fuel tank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-25 Inspecting and replacing anode(s). . . . 4-26 Checking battery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-27 Checking bolts and nuts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-29 Cleaning cooling-water passages . . . . . 4-30 Motor exterior . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-31 Coating the boat bottom . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-31 E EMK10111* SPECIFICATION DATA Model Item DIMENSIONS Overall Length Overall Width Overall Height Transom height Weight PERFORMANCE Full throttle operating range Maximum output Idling speed (Neutral) ENGINE Type Displacement Bore × stroke Ignition system Spark plug Spark plug gap Control system Starting system Valve clearance (cold engine) IN EX Battery capacity Minimum cold crank performance Minimum reserve capacity Alternator output Starting carburetion system DRIVE UNIT Gear positions Gear ratio Trim and tilt system Propeller mark FUEL AND OIL Recommended fuel Fuel tank capacity Recommended engine oil P.

When transporting and storing the outboard motor, close the air vent screw and fuel cock to prevent fuel from leaking. EMK20210* TRAILERING OUTBOARD MOTOR The motor should be trailered and stored in the normal running position. If there is insufficient road clearance in this position, then trailer the motor in the tilt position using a motor support device such as a transom saver bar. For further details, consult your Yamaha dealer. 001185 w 8 Never get under the lower unit while it is tilted, even if a motor support bar is used. Severe injury could occur if the outboard accidentally falls. 8 USE CARE when transporting fuel tank, whether in a boat or car. DO NOT fill fuel container to maximum capacity. Gasoline will expand considerably as it warms up and can build up pressure in the fuel container. This can cause fuel leakage and a potential fire hazard. cC Do not use the tilt support lever/knob when trailering the boat. The outboard motor could shake loose from the tilt support and fall. If the motor can not be trailered in the down position, use an additional support device to secure it in the up position. 4-3 E EMU00327 Clamp handle mounting model When transporting or storing the outboard motor while removed from a boat, fold the tiller handle and lean the motor on the tiller handle to keep in a horizontal position. cC Keep the power unit higher than the propeller at all times. Otherwise, cooling water can run into the cylinder, which could result in damage. NOTE: Place a towel or the like under the outboard motor to protect it from damage. 4-4 E EMK16210* STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR When storing your Yamaha outboard for prolonged periods of time, (2 months or longer), several important procedures must be performed to prevent expensive damage. It is advisable to have your outboard serviced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior to storage. However, the following procedures can be performed by you, the owner, with a minimum of tools. 1 cC 8 To prevent problems which can be caused by oil entering the cylinder from the sump, keep the engine in the attitude shown when transporting and storing it. [. . . ] don't forget to include any important information such as names, addresses, model, engine serial number, dates, and receipts. CHANGE OF ADDRESS The federal government requires each manufacturer of a motor vehicle to maintain a complete, up-to-date list of all first purchasers against the possibility of a safety-related defect and recall. This list is complied from the purchase registrations sent to Yamaha Motor Corporation, U. S. A. by the selling dealer at the time of your purchase. [. . . ]
