EMU33572

Mounting motor

WARNING

EWM01571

Improper mounting of the outboard mo-
tor could result in hazardous condi-
tions such as poor handling, loss of
control, or fire hazards.

Because the motor is very heavy, spe-
cial equipment and training is required
to mount it safely.

Your dealer or other person experienced in
proper rigging should mount the motor using
correct equipment and complete rigging in-
structions. For further information, see page
29.

EMU33582

Remote control requirements

WARNING

EWM01581

If the engine starts in gear, the boat can
move suddenly and unexpectedly, pos-
sibly causing a collision or throwing
passengers overboard.

If the engine ever starts in gear, the
start-in-gear protection device is not
working correctly and you should dis-
continue using the outboard. Contact
your Yamaha dealer.

The remote control unit must be equipped
with a start-in-gear protection device(s). This
device prevents the engine from starting un-
less it is in neutral.

EMU25695

Battery requirements

EMU25723

Battery specifications

The engine cannot be started if battery volt-
age is too low.

EMU36291

Mounting battery

Mount the battery holder securely in a dry,
well-ventilated, vibration-free location in the
boat. 

WARNING! Do not put flammable

items, or loose heavy or metal objects in
the same compartment as the battery.
Fire, explosion or sparks could result.

To connect multiple batteries, such as for
multiple engine configurations or for an ac-
cessory battery, consult your Yamaha dealer
about battery selection and correct wiring.
