The large outer numbers on the meter show
the engine speed × 100 rpm (r/min).
The “RPM” indicator light comes on when the
analog tachometer is selected.
To switch to the tachometer from the speed-
ometer:
Push the “SPEED/RPM” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches
to the analog tachometer function, the
“RPM” indicator light comes on.
Analog speedometer
The analog speedometer shows the water-
craft 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”.
The “SPEED” indicator light comes on when
the analog speedometer is selected.
To switch to the speedometer from the ta-
chometer:
Push the “SPEED/RPM” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches
to the analog speedometer function, the
“SPEED” indicator light comes on if “km/h”
are selected as the display units. The
“SPEED” indicator light blinks three times,then comes on, if “mph” are selected as the
display units. (See page 40 for information on

By switching the display units, the speed can
be shown in kilometers per hour (km/h) or
miles per hour (mph).
TIP:
Miles are selected as the display units at the
Yamaha factory.
Digital speedometer display (mph)
The “SPEED” indicator light blinks three
times if miles are selected as the display units
when the multifunction information center is
activated.
TIP:
If the analog speedometer is selected, the
“SPEED” indicator light blinks three times,
then comes on.
Digital speedometer display (km/h)
The “SPEED” indicator light blinks once if ki-
lometers are selected as the display units
when the multifunction information center is
activated.
TIP:
If the analog speedometer is selected, the
“SPEED” indicator light blinks once, then
comes on.
To switch the digital speedometer display
units:
Push the “VOLT/HOUR” button for at least 1
second, within 10 seconds after the multi-
function information center is activated. The
digital speedometer display changes. Whenthe display units are switched from kilome-
ters to miles only, the “SPEED” indicator light
blinks three times.
TIP:
The display units can also be switched by
pushing the “START/STOP” button and
“MODE/RESET” button simultaneously for at
least 8 seconds.
EJU42261Hour meter/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 “VOLT/HOUR” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated for more than 10 seconds.
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.
To switch to the voltmeter from the hour me-
ter:
Push the “VOLT/HOUR” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated for more than 10 seconds.
The display switches to the voltmeter from
the hour meter.

limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
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 103 for information on the jet
intake.) NOTICE: If you cannot locate and
correct the cause of the overheating, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to oper-
ate at higher speeds could result in severe
engine damage.
