Battery
Check the battery’s charge. If your boat is
equipped with a Yamaha digital speedome-
ter, the voltmeter and low battery alert func-
tions will help you monitor the battery’s
charge. A battery in good condition will pro-
vide a minimum of 12 volts. Check that the
battery connections are clean, secure and
covered by insulating covers. The electrical
connections of the battery and cables must
be clean and properly connected or the bat-
tery will not start the engine.
If the battery needs charging, consult your
Yamaha dealer or the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.

If you should swallow some gasoline or
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
some gasoline in your eyes, see your
doctor immediately. If gasoline spills
on your skin, wash with soap and wa-
ter. If gasoline spills on your clothing,
change your clothes.

proved GASOLINE container.
