How do I winterize my Yamaha 60FETOL outboard motor?

To winterize, stabilize the fuel, flush the engine with fresh water, change the oil and filter, lubricate moving parts, and store the engine in an upright position.

What should I do if the Yamaha 60FETOL overheats?

If the engine overheats, stop immediately, check for blockages in the cooling system, inspect the water pump impeller, and ensure there is adequate water flow through the engine.

How can I improve the fuel efficiency of my Yamaha 60FETOL?

To improve fuel efficiency, maintain a steady throttle, ensure the propeller is in good condition, reduce excess weight, and perform regular engine maintenance.

What are the signs of a failing impeller in a Yamaha 60FETOL?

Signs of a failing impeller include overheating, reduced water flow from the tell-tale, and unusual noises from the water pump area. Replace the impeller if these symptoms are present.

How do I replace the spark plugs on a Yamaha 60FETOL?

To replace spark plugs, disconnect the spark plug wires, remove the old plugs with a socket wrench, install new plugs hand-tight, and then tighten with a wrench to the manufacturer's torque specification.

What should I do if I notice excessive vibration from my Yamaha 60FETOL?
