have a Yamaha dealer service the watercraft.

EJU41821

Replacing the bilge pump fuse 

If the fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.

To replace the fuse:
(1) Remove the seats and engine cover.

(See page 49 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures and page 94 for engine
cover removal and installation proce-
dures.)

(2) Remove the plastic ties that are securing

the corrugated tube and bilge pump fuse
leads.

TIP:

Be careful not to drop the plastic ties into the
engine compartment.

(3) Pull out the bilge pump fuse holder from

the rubber cover, and then remove the
fuse cover.

(4) Replace the blown fuse with the spare

fuse of the correct amperage.

WARNING! Do not use fuses of a dif-
ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.

 [EWJ00802]

TIP:

If the fuse is difficult to remove, use the fuse
puller on the reverse side of the electrical box
