TIP:
If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the dual analog meter unit is in the
standby state, the unit will perform the initial
operation, and then the setting is selected.
To activate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-
onds. Once the beeper sounds three times
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks
three times, then comes on, the “L-MODE”
indicator light comes on and the Low RPM
Mode is activated.
TIP:
If the Low RPM Mode is activated immediate-
ly after the information display turns off, the
“L-MODE” indicator light will not come on.
The “L-MODE” indicator light will come on
when the engine is started.
To deactivate the Low RPM Mode:
Push the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter for more than 4 sec-onds. Once the beeper sounds two times and
the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks two
times, then comes on, the “L-MODE” indica-

deactivated. When the Low RPM Mode is de-
activated, the watercraft returns to the nor-
mal operation mode.

the speedometer and tachometer make one
sweep, all of the display segments and indi-
cator lights come on. After 2 seconds, the
“WARNING” indicator light and the warning
indicators in the information display go off,
and then the unit starts to operate normally.

ter a standby state. When the engine is start-
ed again, the displays return to their state
before the unit turned off, and then the unit
starts to operate normally.
EJU37444Speedometer
The speedometer shows the watercraft
speed against water.
The small inner numbers on the meter show
the watercraft speed in kilometers per hour
“km/h” and the large outer numbers show the
speed in miles per hour “mph”.
EJU37245Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed.
The numbers on the meter show the engine
speed × 1000 rpm (r/min).

EJU35025Information display
The information display shows watercraft op-
erating conditions.
EJU37265Hour 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.
TIP:
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, imme-
diately return to shore and have a Yamaha
dealer service the watercraft.

immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is
being discharged from the port (left) cooling
water pilot outlet while the engine is running.
If there is no discharge of water, stop the en-
gine, and then check the jet intake for clog-
ging. (See page 94 for information on the jet
intake.) NOTICE: If you cannot locate and
