Trouble recovery
141
TIP:
The rear platform hatch has interlocks to shut
off the engines should the hatch be acciden-
tally opened during operation. The engines
will not restart unless the hatch is closed and
latched.
Raising the shift gates
If the shift actuator malfunctions and the shift
gates remain in the lowered position, the boat
will not be able to move forward.
After raising the shift gates so that the boat
can move forward, immediately return to
shore and have a Yamaha Boat Dealer ser-
vice the boat.
To raise the shift gates:
(1) Stop the engines and remove the clip
from the engine shut-off switch.
(2) Open the driver’s side console compart-
ment. (See page 74.)
(3) Remove the nuts, and then remove the
shift motor cover.
