Avoid collisions
Scan constantly for people, objects, and oth-
er boats. Be alert for conditions that limit your
visibility or block your vision of others.
Operate defensively at safe speeds and
keep a safe distance away from people, ob-
jects, and other boats.
Do not follow directly behind other boats or
waterskiers.
Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that
make it hard for others to avoid you or un-
derstand where you are going.
Avoid areas with submerged objects or
shallow water.
Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-
sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss
of control, ejection, and collision.
Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-
member, boats do not have brakes, and
stopping the engine or reducing throttle
can reduce the ability to steer. If you are
not sure that you can stop in time before
hitting an obstacle, apply throttle and turn
in another direction.

Collisions with floating or
submerged objects
If the outboard motor hits a floating object or
an obstacle in the water while cruising, the
following could occur:
The passengers and any loose equipment
or luggage could be thrown forward due to
the sudden deceleration.
Parts of the outboard motor could come
loose as a result of the impact and could
be thrown into the boat.
The boat or outboard motor could be dam-
aged as a result of the impact.
When you operate the boat in an area where
there might be floating objects or obstacles
in the water, be sure to adjust the trim angle
of the outboard motor, slow down, and oper-
ate carefully. For further information, see
page 72.
If the outboard motor hits a floating object or
an obstacle in the water, make sure that
there are no abnormalities with the boat and
the outboard motor. If anything abnormal is
found, return to the nearest harbor at low
speed and have a Yamaha dealer inspect
the outboard motor.
