EJU34880Stern eyes
The stern eyes are located at the stern of the
watercraft.
The stern eyes are used to attach a rope to
the watercraft when transporting or mooring it.
EJU37400Yamaha Security System
The Yamaha Security System functions to
help prevent unauthorized use or theft of the
watercraft. The lock and unlock modes of the
security system are selected using the remote
control transmitter that is included with this
watercraft. The engine cannot be started if the
security system is in the lock mode. The en-
gine can only be started in the unlock mode.
(See page 24 for information on using the re-
mote control transmitter.)
TIP:
The lock and unlock modes of this system can
only be selected while the engine is stopped.
EJU37410Yamaha Security System settings
The Yamaha Security System settings will be
confirmed by the number of beeps when the
remote control transmitter is operated, and by
the “UNLOCK” indicator light of the dual ana-
log meter unit. (See page 33 for more infor-
mation on the dual analog meter unit.)
TIP:

The beeper sounds two times for the nor-
mal operation mode or three times for the L-
MODE (low-RPM mode). (See page 32 for
L-MODE selection procedures.)

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 select the lock mode:
Press the lock button on the remote control
transmitter briefly. The beeper sounds once
and the “UNLOCK” indicator light blinks once,
then goes off. This indicates the lock mode is
selected.
To select the unlock mode:
Press the “L-Mode” (unlock) button on the re-
mote control transmitter briefly. The beeper
sounds two or three times and the “UNLOCK”
indicator light blinks two or three times, then

comes on. This indicates the unlock mode is
selected.
EJU37420L-MODE (low-RPM mode)
The L-MODE limits the engine speed to ap-
proximately 70% of the maximum engine
speed.
The L-MODE activation and deactivation can
only be selected using the remote control
transmitter. (See page 24 for information on
using the remote control transmitter.)
TIP:
The L-MODE can only be selected when the
engine is stopped in the unlock mode of the
Yamaha Security System.
Activating and deactivating the L-MODE
Activation of the L-MODE will be confirmed by
the number of beeps when the remote control
transmitter is operated, and by the “L-MODE”indicator light of the dual analog meter unit.
(See page 33 for more information on the dual
analog meter unit.)
TIP:
If the remote control transmitter is operated
while the dual analog meter unit is in the
standby state, the unit performs the initial op-
eration, and then the setting is selected.
To activate the L-MODE:
Press 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 L-MODE is activated.
TIP:
If the L-MODE is selected immediately 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.

Operation
WARNING
EWJ00510
Before operating your watercraft, become
familiar with all of the controls. Consult a
Yamaha dealer about any control or func-
tion that you do not fully understand. Fail-
ure to understand how the controls work
could cause an accident or prevent you
from avoiding an accident.
NOTICE
ECJ00460
Make sure that the stern drain plugs are
tightened securely before launching the
watercraft.
EJU36661Engine break-in
NOTICE
ECJ00430
Failure to follow the engine break-in pro-
cedure could result in reduced engine life
or even severe engine damage.
The engine break-in period is essential to al-
low the various components of the engine to
wear and polish themselves to the correct op-
erating clearances. This ensures proper per-
formance and promotes longer component
life.
TIP:
Be sure to check the engine oil level before
operating the watercraft for the first time. (See
page 45 for engine oil checking procedures.)
(1) Launch the watercraft and start the en-
gine. (See page 53 for engine starting
procedures.)
(2) For the first 5 minutes, run the engine at
trolling speed only. For the 30 minutes of
operation after that, keep the engine
speed below 5000 r/min. For the 1 hour of
operation after that, keep the engine
speed below 6000 r/min.
(3) Proceed with normal operation.
EJU32801Launching the watercraft
When launching the watercraft, make sure
that there are no obstacles behind you.
Use the remote control transmitter to select
the unlock mode. (See page 31 for Yamaha
Security System lock and unlock mode selec-
tion procedures.)
After the watercraft is in the water, start the
engine. Shift into reverse and move the water-
craft back slowly. If there are waves, some-
one should make sure that the watercraft is
not pushed into the trailer before backing
away.
EJU36341Starting the engine
(1) If the lock mode of the Yamaha Security
System is selected, use the remote con-
trol transmitter to select the unlock mode.
(See page 31 for Yamaha Security Sys-
tem lock and unlock mode selection pro-
cedures.)
(2) Launch the watercraft in water free from
weeds and debris and at least 60 cm (2 ft)
deep from the bottom of the watercraft.
NOTICE: Never operate in water that is
less than 60 cm (2 ft) deep from the
bottom of the watercraft, otherwise
