IMPACT DAMAGE
w
The outboard motor can be seriously
damaged by a collision while operating
or trailering. Damage could make the
outboard motor unsafe to operate.
If the outboard motor hits any object in the
water, follow the procedure below.
1)
Stop the engine immediately.
2) Inspect the control system and all com-
ponents for damage. Also, inspect the
boat for damage.
3) Whether damage is found or not, return
to the nearest harbor slowly and care-
fully.
4) Have a Yamaha dealer inspect the out-
board motor before operating it again.
EMU00418
RUNNING SINGLE ENGINE
Using only one of the engines in case of an
emergency, be sure to keep the unused one
tilted up and operate the other engine at low
speed.
c C
If the boat is operated with one engine in
the water but not running, water may run
into the exhaust pipe due to wave action,
causing engine trouble.
NOTE:
When you are maneuvering at low speed,
such as near a dock, it is recommended
that both engines be running with one in
neutral gear if possible.
