Specifications and requirements

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol (E5 and E10) and that con-
taining methanol. Ethanol can be used if the
ethanol content does not exceed 10% and
the fuel meets the minimum octane ratings.
E85 is a fuel containing 85% ethanol and
must not be used in your outboard motor. All
ethanol blends containing more than 10%
ethanol can cause fuel system damage or
cause engine starting and running problems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-
taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage or engine performance
problems.
It is recommended that you install a water-
separating marine fuel filter assembly (10 mi-
cron minimum) between your boat’s fuel tank
and outboard motor when using ethanol.
Ethanol is known to allow moisture to be ab-
sorbed into boat fuel tanks and systems.
Moisture in the fuel can cause corrosion of
metallic fuel system components, starting
and running complaints and require addition-
al fuel system maintenance.
EMU36881
Muddy or acidic water
Yamaha strongly recommends that you have
your dealer install the optional chromium-
plated water pump kit if you use the outboard
motor in muddy or acidic water conditions.
However, depending on the model it might
not be required.
EMU36331
Anti-fouling paint
A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-
rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit
marine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
EMU40302
Outboard motor disposal
requirements
Never illegally discard (dump) the outboard
motor. Yamaha recommends consulting the
dealer about discarding the outboard motor.
EMU36353
Emergency equipment
Keep the following items onboard in case
there is trouble with the outboard motor.
A tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pli-
ers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and
electrical tape.
Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.
An extra engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
with clip.
Spare parts, such as an extra set of spark
plugs.
Consult your Yamaha dealer for details.
