erating conditions.
EJU37264Hour meter/voltmeter
The hour meter/voltmeter has both an hour
meter function and a voltmeter function. By
switching the meter, it can be used as either
an hour meter or a voltmeter.

The hour meter is selected at the Yamaha
factory.Hour meter
The hour meter shows the total number of
hours that the engine has been running since
the watercraft was new.
TIP:
The elapsed time will be kept even if the bat-
tery terminals have been disconnected.
To switch to the hour meter from the voltme-
ter:
Push the “Hour Volt” button for at least 1 sec-
ond. The display switches to the hour meter
from the voltmeter.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the battery voltage.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped significant-
ly, “LO” is displayed on the voltmeter. If the
battery voltage has risen significantly, “HI” is
displayed. If “LO” or “HI” is displayed, immedi-
ately return to shore and have a Yamaha
dealer service the watercraft.

Long-term storage
WARNING
EWJ00330
Always place the watercraft upright in a
horizontal position when storing it, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which could create a
fire hazard.
Storage for long periods of time, such as win-
ter storage, requires preventive maintenance
to ensure against deterioration. It is advisable
to have the watercraft serviced by a Yamaha
dealer prior to storage.
However, the following procedures can be
performed easily by the owner.
EJU40762Cleaning
(1) Flush the cooling water passages. (Seepage 76 for information on flushing the
cooling water passages.)
TIP:
If you will be storing the watercraft for a pro-
longed period, such as winter storage, top off
the fuel tank with fresh gasoline and add fuel
stabilizer and conditioner to the fuel tank ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s instruction be-
fore starting the engine.
(2) Clean the watercraft. (See page 77 for in-formation on cleaning the watercraft.)
Wax the hull with a non-abrasive wax.
EJU41260Lubrication
Use a suitable marine grease applicator to
pressure-lubricate the cables and purge out
any moisture between the inner and outer ca-
bles.
To keep moving parts sliding or rotating
smoothly, lubricate them with water-resistant
grease.
●Throttle cable (throttle lever end)
●Steering cable (jet thrust nozzle end) and
Q.S.T.S. rod (jet thrust nozzle end)
●Shift cable (reverse gate end)
EJU40811Rustproofing
Spray metallic parts of the hull, deck, and en-
gine with a rust inhibitor.Recommended water-resistant grease:

(7) Securely install the seats in their originalpositions.
If the fuse immediately blows again, the elec-
trical system may be defective. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer service the watercraft.
EJU41821Replacing the bilge pump fuse
If the fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.
To replace the fuse:
(1) Remove the seats and engine cover. (See page 40 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures and page 82 for engine
cover removal and installation proce-
dures.)
(2) Remove the plastic ties that are securing the corrugated tube and bilge pump fuse
leads.
TIP:
Be careful not to drop the plastic ties into the
engine compartment.
(3) Pull out the bilge pump fuse holder fromthe rubber cover, and then remove the
fuse cover.
(4) Replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse of the correct amperage.
WARNING! Do not use fuses of a dif- ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
[EWJ00802]
TIP:
If the fuse is difficult to remove, use the fuse
puller on the reverse side of the electrical box

EJU34715Towing the watercraft
WARNING
EWJ00811
●The operator of the towing boat must
keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf-
fic or obstacles which could be a hazard
to the operator on the watercraft.
●The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down.
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
To tow the watercraft:
Use a towline that is three times the combined
length of the towing boat and the watercraft.
(1) Securely attach the towline to the bow
eye of the watercraft being towed.
(2) Sit astride the seat and hold on to the handlebars in order to balance the water-
craft. NOTICE: The bow must be kept
up out of the water during towing, oth-
erwise water could flood the engine
compartment or water could flow back
into the engine, causing severe en-
gine damage.
