Checking power trim and tilt system
WARNING
EWM01971
Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt support
knob is locked. Severe injury could oc-
cur if the outboard motor accidentally
falls.
Body parts can be crushed between the
motor and the clamp bracket when the
motor is trimmed or tilted.
Be sure no one is near the outboard
motor before performing this check.
1. Check the power trim and tilt unit for any
sign of oil leaks.
2. Operate each of the power trim and tilt
switches to check that all switches work.
3. Tilt the outboard motor up and check
that the trim and tilt rod is pushed out
completely.
4. Check that the trim and tilt rod is free of
corrosion or other flaws.
5. Tilt the outboard motor down. Check that
the trim and tilt rod operates smoothly.

Battery
Check the battery’s charge. If your boat is
equipped with a Yamaha digital speedome-
ter, the voltmeter and low battery alert func-
tions will help you monitor the battery’s
charge. A battery in good condition will pro-
vide a minimum of 12 volts. Check that the
battery connections are clean, secure and
covered by insulating covers. The electrical
connections of the battery and cables must
be clean and properly connected or the bat-
tery will not start the engine.
If the battery needs charging, consult your
Yamaha dealer or the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.
