The fuse is on the red lead wire coming

box and replace the fuse.

rating can cause extensive electrical
system damage and possible fire.
BATTERY
NOTE: These general guidelines apply
to many commonly used battery types
(but not, for example, to maintenance-
free batteries). Consult the battery
manufacturer’s instructions before per-
forming battery maintenance.
Check the level of the battery fluid and
see if the terminals are tight. Add dis-
tilled water if the fluid level is low.
●
Be careful not to place the bat-
tery on its side.
●
Remove the battery from the boat
before adding distilled water or
recharging.
THROTTLE CABLE INSPECTION
Push and pull the throttle levers
through their full range with the shift
lever in Neutral. Repeat with the shift
lever in Forward, and again in Reverse.
Both throttle levers should move
smoothly from idle to full throttle and
back. If not, ask your Yamaha Sport
Boat dealer for service.
Improper throttle operation could
result in an accident. Check for
proper throttle operation before
starting the engines.
REVERSE GATE MECHANISM
INSPECTION
1) Remove the engine stop switch lan-
yard and ignition keys.
2) Put the throttle levers in the idle
position (otherwise the shift lever
will not move).
3) Push the shift lever to Forward from
the Neutral position while a second
person observes shift gate move-
ment from outside the boat. Both
shift gates should lift completely to
the stops.
4) Pull the shift lever back from
Forward through Neutral to
Reverse. The observer should
check for proper movement of the
shift gates. Both gates should drop
down over the nozzles to the stops.
If reverse gates do not operate smooth-
ly or correctly, ask your authorized
Yamaha Sport Boat dealer for service.
