Yamaha F75AETL Owner's Manual

For basic maintenance, regularly check and change the engine oil, inspect the propeller for damage, clean the fuel filter, and ensure the cooling system is working properly by checking the water pump impeller.
If the engine fails to start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank has fuel and the fuel line is not clogged, inspect the spark plugs, and verify that the emergency stop switch is not engaged.
Check for obstructions in the water intake, inspect the water pump impeller for wear, and ensure that the thermostat is functioning correctly. Also, verify the cooling system’s hoses and connections for leaks or blockages.
It is recommended to change the engine oil every 100 hours of operation or at least once per season, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and longevity.
Always use fresh, clean fuel, and consider using a fuel stabilizer if the boat will not be used for extended periods. Regularly clean or replace the fuel filter to prevent clogs.
Excessive vibration can be caused by a damaged or unbalanced propeller, debris caught on the propeller, or engine mounting issues. Inspect and replace or repair the propeller if necessary, and ensure the engine is securely mounted.
To winterize, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank, run the engine to circulate the stabilized fuel, change the engine oil, flush the cooling system with fresh water, and store the motor in an upright position in a dry, sheltered area.
Common signs include overheating, reduced water flow from the cooling system indicator, and unusual noises from the pump area. Regular inspection and replacement of the impeller can prevent pump failure.
Maintain a clean hull, ensure the propeller is in good condition, avoid overloading the boat, and operate the engine at optimal RPMs. Regular maintenance, including tune-ups and oil changes, can also help improve efficiency.
Refer to the owner’s manual for the recommended spark plug type and gap settings. Typically, the manufacturer specifies the best spark plug for optimal performance and reliability.
