Water-skiing
You can use the watercraft for water-ski-
ing if it has the seating capacity to carry the
operator, a rearward-facing spotter, and the
water-skier when he or she is not skiing.
The watercraft must also have a cleat 1
designed to pull a ski towrope; do not attach
the towrope to any other location.
It is the watercraft operator’s responsibility
to be alert to the safety of the water-skier
and others. Know and follow all local water-
skiing regulations in effect for the waters in
which you will be operating.
The operator should be comfortable car-
rying passengers before attempting to pull a
skier.
The following are some important consid-
erations for minimizing risks while water-ski-
ing.

The skier should wear an approved PFD,
preferably a brightly colored one so boat
operators can see the skier.

The skier should wear protective clothing.
Severe internal injuries can occur if water
is forced into body cavities as a result of
falling into the water. Normal swimwear
does not adequately protect against
forceful water entry into rectum or vagina.
The skier should wear a wetsuit bottom or
clothing that provides equivalent protec-
tion.

A second person should be on board as a
spotter to watch the skier; in many places
it is required by law. Let the skier direct
the operator’s control of speed and direc-
tion with hand signals.
The spotter should sit securely on the
passenger seat and hold onto the hand-
grip 2 with feet firmly on the floor of the
footwell for proper balance while facing to
the rear to watch the skier’s hand signals
and his or her condition.

Remote control transmitter
(for VX110 Deluxe)
The Yamaha Security System and
low-RPM mode settings are selected using
the remote control transmitter. (See
“Yamaha Security System/Low-RPM mode”
on page 2-15 for information on using the
remote control transmitter.)
CAUTION:@ The Yamaha Security System and
low-RPM mode settings can only be
selected using the remote control trans-
mitter. Observe the following precautions
to protect your remote control transmit-
ter:

Store the remote control transmitter
carefully so it will not be lost. When
operating the watercraft, use the trans-
mitter holder 1 in the glove compart-
ment. If you accidentally lose your
remote control transmitter, contact a
Yamaha dealer.

While the remote control transmitter
has been designed for use in wet envi-
ronments, it should not be operated
under water or submerged for an
extended length of time. If it gets wet,
dry it with a soft, dry cloth.

Keep the remote control transmitter
away from high temperatures and do
not place it in direct sunlight.

Do not drop the remote control trans-
mitter, subject it to strong shocks, or
place any heavy items on it.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the trans-
mitter. Do not use detergent, alcohol,
or other chemicals.

If the remote control transmitter needs
a new battery or is not operating prop-
erly, contact a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt to replace the battery yourself.

tings. Since the watercraft is programmed to
recognize the internal code from this trans-

lose the remote control transmitter or it does
not operate properly, contact a Yamaha
dealer.
