Shift gate
TIP:
When the manual release levers are in the
manual operation position, the shift gates
cannot be moved to the neutral or reverse
positions.
When the manual release levers are in the
manual operation position, the boat will
move forward even if the remote control le-
vers are moved to the reverse position.
255XD: When the manual release levers are
in the manual operation position, the boat
will move forward even if the DRiVE mode
is activated and the throttle/shift paddle
(left) is pulled.
(7) Move the manual release levers of the
shift motors to the electronic operation
position.
If the shift gates cannot be raised using the
preceding procedure, the shift gates can be
raised manually from the water.
To raise the shift gates from the water:
(1) Follow the above steps 1–4 for “To raise
the shift gates”.
(2) Enter the water and move to the rear of
the boat.
(3) Raise the shift gates to the forward posi-
tion.
(4) Move the manual release levers of the
shift motors to the electronic operation
position.
Power steering system will not
operate (255XD)
If the power steering system malfunctions, a
warning will appear on the multi-function dis-
play and the direction of the boat cannot be
changed even if the steering wheel is turned.
Manually point the jet thrust nozzles in the
straight-ahead direction, and then use the
difference in the amount of throttle for the
port and starboard engines to steer the boat
and return to shore. After returning to shore,
have a Yamaha Boat Dealer check the boat.
TIP:
If a malfunction is detected for the power
steering system, the maximum engine speed
will be limited to approximately 5000 rpm.
To point the jet thrust nozzles in the straight-
ahead direction:
(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) Turn the service valve on the steering
pump in the direction shown in the illus-
tration.
