V4 & V6 Rigging Tube Grommet
V4 & V6 RIGGING TUBE GROMMET
(MAR-GROMM-ET-02)
Installation Instructions:
1. Prior to installing grommet, pass all cables,
fuel/oil lines and electrical harnesses through
the rigging hose that has been previously cut
to length.
2. Be sure all items move freely inside the hose
and no kinks occur in the fuel and oil lines.
3. Pass all items through the threaded end side
of the grommet. Do not install onto the hose
at this time.
4. Finish installing the engine, and attach all
harnesses, cables and hoses to their proper
locations as prescribed in the Yamaha
Rigging Guide.
5. Place a bead of silicone sealant (not a poly-
sulfide based product) onto the bottom side of
the grommet where it seats into the lower
pan.
6. Apply another bead on top of the grommet,
prior to installing the retainer, then tighten the
2 retaining screws and removed any excess
sealant. Note: Both the stainless angle
bracket and rubber grommet (previously
removed) will not be reused.
7. Prior to threading on the hose, do a final
check of all hose and cable routing. If you are
using a threaded transom plate, thread the rig-
ging tube into it first.
8. On the engine grommet side, apply a small
bead of silicone sealant to the first few
threads of the hose and install. Remember
the thread is left hand so you will rotate the
hose to the left, (facing the front of the
engine). Thread the rigging tube into the
grommet until it seats.
IMPORTANT! After installation, be sure to
check for any contact of the grommet to the
boat's transom or bracket. This is done by tilt-
ing fully and turning the engine from star-
board to port to be sure that no contact occurs.
A broken grommet will allow water intrusion
into the engine and could lead to engine dam-
age or failure.
New rigging tube grommet for V4 & V6.
Optional
For model year 2001, Yamaha has expanded the
model line-up that come standard with the rigging
grommet that was offered in 2000 for the HPDI
and F115 engines. The F80/F100, all V-4 and V-6
models have received this change.
