EJU30992
Enjoy your watercraft responsibly
You share the areas you enjoy when riding
your watercraft with others and with nature.
So your enjoyment includes a responsibility
to treat these other people, and the lands,
waters, and wildlife with respect and courte-
sy.
Whenever and wherever you ride, think of
yourself as the guest of those around you.
Remember, for example, that the sound of
your watercraft may be music to you, but it
could be just noise to others. And the exciting
splash of your wake can make waves others
won’t enjoy.
Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and
waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife ar-
eas, and keep a respectful distance from fish-
ermen, other boats, swimmers, and
populated beaches. When travel in areas like
these is unavoidable, ride slowly and obey all
laws.
Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure
that the exhaust emission and sound levels of
your watercraft will continue to be within reg-
ulated limits. You have the responsibility to
make sure that the recommended mainte-
nance in this owner’s/operator’s manual is
carried out.
Remember, pollution can be harmful to the
environment. Do not refuel or add oil where a
spill could cause damage to nature. Remove
your watercraft from the water and move it
away from the shoreline before refueling. Dis-
pose of water and any fuel and oil residue in
the engine compartment according to local
regulations. And keep your surroundings
pleasant for the people and wildlife that share
the waterways: don’t litter. When you ride responsibly, with respect and
courtesy for others, you help ensure that our
waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a
variety of recreational opportunities.

Watercraft glossary
Trolling speed
“Trolling” is the lowest maneuvering speed. You are applying little or no throttle. The water-
craft is down in the water, and there is no wake.
Sub-planing speed
“Sub-planing” is a medium speed. The bow of the watercraft is slightly up from the water sur-
face, but you are still traveling through the water. There is a wake.
Planing speed
“Planing” is a faster speed. The watercraft is more level and is skimming on top of the water.
There is a wake.
Bow
The front end of the watercraft.
Stern
The rear end of the watercraft.
Starboard
The right side of the watercraft when facing forward.
Port
The left side of the watercraft when facing forward.
Bilge water
Water that has collected in the engine compartment.
Yamaha Engine Management System (YEMS) YEMS is an integrated, computerized management system that controls and adjusts ignition
timing, fuel injection, engine diagnostics, and the off-throttle steering (OTS) system.
Reverse with Intuitive Deceleration Electronics (RiDE)
RiDE is an electronic system that controls the reverse, neutral, and deceleration operations of
the watercraft.

and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 106 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP
It will take about 60 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
If this occurs, apply a little throttle to make
sure that water discharges properly.
EJU40323Water separator
The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water
that has entered the fuel tank breather hose if
the watercraft was capsized.
If water has collected in the water separator,
drain it by loosening the drain screw.
To drain water from the water separator:
(1) Place a drain pan or dry cloth under thewater separator.
(2) Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain the water. Catch the draining water in the
drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth
so that it does not spill into the engine
compartment. If any water spills into the
watercraft, be sure to wipe it up with a
dry cloth. (3) Securely tighten the drain screw until it
stops.

Multifunction information center (VX-C / VX)
The multifunction information center displays
various watercraft information.
Multifunction information center initial op-
eration
When the multifunction information center is
activated, all of the display segments come
on. After 2 seconds, the warning indicators in
the information display go off, and then the
center starts to operate normally.
Multifunction information center standby
state
If the multifunction information center does
not receive any operation input within 30 sec-
onds after the engine stops, the center will
turn off and enter a standby state. When the
engine is started again, the displays return to
their state before the center turned off, and
then the center starts to operate normally.
EJU35027Information display
The information display shows watercraft op-
erating conditions.
EJU46430Speedometer
The speedometer shows the watercraft
speed.
By switching the display units, the speed can
be shown in kilometers per hour “km/h” or
miles per hour “MPH”.
TIP
“MPH” is selected as the display unit at the
Yamaha factory.

EJU37272Fuel 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
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.
EJU44711Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp.gal), the low-
est fuel level segment, the fuel level warning
indicator, and the “WARNING” indicator light
blink, and the buzzer sounds intermittently for
30 seconds.If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 61
for information on filling the fuel tank.)
After the fuel tank is refilled, the warning sig-
nals will be cleared when the engine is re-
started.
EJU43720Oil pressure warning
If the oil pressure drops significantly, the oil
pressure warning indicator, the check engine
warning indicator, and the “WARNING” indi-
cator light blink, and the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently for 30 seconds. At the same time,
the 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 63 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.

Voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the battery voltage.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 14 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped or risen
significantly, the battery voltage warning will
activate and the voltage display will blink.
(See page 50 for information on the battery
voltage warning.)
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed and
the number of display segments.
Shift indicator
This indicator shows the reverse gate shift
positions: “F” (forward), “N” (neutral), and “R”
(reverse). (See page 30 for shifting proce-
dures.)
Fuel level meter
The fuel level meter shows the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank using the number of
display segments.
If the amount of remaining fuel is low, the fuel
level warning will activate. (See page 49 for
information on the fuel level warning.)
TIP
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies
depending on the operating conditions. Use
this function as a reference only.
EJU45151Home screen “ ”
The center display of the home screen shows
the speedometer and the indicators for the
operation modes. (See page 33 for informa-
tion on the functions of the various modes.)
TIP
If the engine speed increases while the drive
control mode screen, setting menu screen, or
engine lock screen is displayed, the multi-
function information center will automatically
switch to the home screen.
