Using a maintenance-free battery with the
above models can shorten the life of the bat-
tery significantly.
Install an optional Rectifier Regulator or use
accessories rated to withstand 18 volts or
higher with the above models. Consult your
Yamaha dealer for details on installing an
optional Rectifier Regulator.

Propeller selection
The performance of your outboard motor will
be critically affected by your choice of propel-
ler, as an incorrect choice could adversely
affect performance and could also seriously
damage the motor. Engine speed depends
on the propeller size and boat load. If engine
speed is too high or too low for good engine
performance, this will have an adverse effect
on the engine.
Yamaha outboard motors are fitted with pro-
pellers chosen to perform well over a range
of applications, but there may be uses where
a propeller with a different pitch would be
more appropriate. For a greater operating
load, a smaller-pitch propeller is more suit-
able as it enables the correct engine speed
to be maintained. Conversely, a larger-pitch
propeller is more suitable for a smaller oper-
ating load.
Yamaha dealers stock a range of propellers,
and can advise you and install a propeller on
your outboard that is best suited to your ap-
plication.
NOTE:
Select a propeller which will allow the engine
to reach the middle or upper half of the oper-
ating range at full throttle with the maximum
boat load. If operating conditions such as
light boat loads then allow the engine r/min to
rise above the maximum recommended
range, reduce the throttle setting to maintain
the engine in the proper operating range.
For instructions on propeller removal and in-
stallation, see page 54.

Start-in-gear protection
Yamaha outboard motors affixed with the
pictured label or Yamaha-approved remote
control units are equipped with start-in-gear
protection device(s). This feature permits the
engine to be started only when it is in neutral.
Always select neutral before starting the en-
gine.
