12.4 Operating Your Boat
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION,
DO NOT START THE ENGINE WHEN FUEL FUMES
ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS
AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.
After Starting the Engines
• Visibly check the engines to be sure there are no apparent
water, fuel or oil leaks.
• Check the operation of the engine cooling systems.
• Check the engine gauges. Make sure they are reading
normally.
• Check the controls and steering for smooth and proper
operation.
• Make sure all lines, cables, anchors, etc. for securing a
boat are on board and in good condition. All lines should
be coiled, secured and off the decks when underway.
• Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself.
Remember:
When you operate a boat, you accept the responsibility for the
boat, for the safety of passengers and for others out enjoying
the water.
• Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill and
experience of you and your crew.
• Alcohol and any drugs can severely reduce your reaction
time and affect your better judgment.
• Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several
different signals at once.
• Alcohol makes it difficult to correctly judge speed and
distance, or track moving objects.
• Alcohol reduces night vision, and the ability to distinguish
red from green.
YOU SHOULD NEVER OPERATE YOUR BOAT
WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL
AND DRUGS.
MAKE SURE ONE OTHER PERSON ON THE
BOAT IS INSTRUCTED IN THE OPERATION OF
THE BOAT AND ALWAYS OPERATE THE BOAT IN
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATE AND LOCAL LAWS
GOVERNING THE USE OF A BOAT.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT
IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL
FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS
ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
Before operating the boat for the first time, read the engine
break-in procedures. The Yamaha break-in procedures are
found in the owner’s manual for the engine. The manual is in
the literature packet. Correct break-in operation is critical to
ensure proper performance and longer engine life.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
MAY RESULT IN REDUCED ENGINE LIFE OR
EVEN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE IN YAMAHA
ENGINE. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE BREAK-
IN PROCEDURE EXACTLY.
As different types of engines are used to power the boat, have
the dealer describe the operating procedures for your boat. For
more instructions on “How To Operate The Boat,” make sure
you read the instructions given to you in the owner’s manual
for the engine you have selected.
Note: For more instructions on safety, equipment and
boat handling, enroll in one of the several free

Note: If the drive unit hits an underwater object, stop
the engines. Inspect the drive unit for damage.
If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer for a
complete inspection and repair of the unit.
To stop the boat, follow this procedure:
• Allow the engines to drop to the idle speed.
• Make sure the shifting levers are in the neutral position.
