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 ac-
tivated.
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” indicator light
goes off and the Low RPM Mode is deactivat-
ed. When the Low RPM Mode is deactivated,
the watercraft returns to the normal operation
mode.

Dual analog meter unit
The dual analog meter unit displays various
watercraft information.
Dual analog meter unit initial operation
When the dual analog meter unit is activated,
the speedometer and tachometer make one
sweep, all of the display segments and indica-
tor 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.
TIP:
The “UNLOCK” indicator light will go off when
the engine is started.
Dual analog meter unit standby state
If the dual analog meter unit does not receive
any operation input within 25 seconds after
the engine stops, the unit will turn off and en-
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.
EJU37441Speedometer
The speedometer shows the watercraft speed
against water.
The small outer numbers on the meter show
the watercraft speed in kilometers per hour
“km/h” and the large inner numbers show the
speed in miles per hour “MPH”.
EJU37242Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed.
The inner numbers on the meter show the en-
gine speed × 1000 RPM (r/min).

EJU35024Information display
The information display shows watercraft op-
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.
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, immedi-
ately return to shore and have a Yamaha
dealer service the watercraft.

EJU37271Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. The amount of re-
maining fuel is shown using four display seg-
ments, which disappear one at a time as the
fuel level decreases.
TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies de-
pending on the operating conditions. Use this
function as a reference only.
EJU37282Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp. gal), the
“WARNING” indicator light, the fuel indicator,
and the lowest fuel level segment blink, and
the buzzer sounds intermittently.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 48
for information on filling the fuel tank.)
After the fuel tank is refilled, the warning sig-
nals will be cleared when the engine is restart-
ed.

maximum engine speed is limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 50 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.

Push the “Hour Volt” button to stop the buzz-
er.
EJU37301Engine overheat warning
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the “WARNING” indicator light and the engine
overheat warning indicator blink, and the
buzzer sounds intermittently. Then, the
“WARNING” indicator light and the engine
overheat warning indicator stop blinking and
remain on, and the buzzer sounds continu-
ously. After the light and indicator start to blinkand the buzzer sounds, the maximum engine
speed is limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is be-
ing discharged from the port (left) cooling wa-
ter pilot outlets 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 91 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.
