To perform a basic maintenance check, inspect the fuel system for leaks, check the oil level and condition, ensure the propeller is undamaged, and inspect the cooling water intake for blockages. Regularly check and replace the spark plugs and fuel filters.
If the engine won't start, check the battery connections and charge, ensure the fuel is fresh and the fuel tank vent is open, inspect the spark plugs, and check the kill switch is in the correct position.
The oil should be changed every 100 hours of operation or at least once per season. Always use Yamaha-approved oil and follow the procedure outlined in the owner's manual.
To winterize, run fresh water through the cooling system, change the engine oil and filter, stabilize the fuel, fog the cylinders, and store in a dry, covered location. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
Check for blockages in the water intake, inspect the water pump impeller for wear or damage, ensure the thermostat is functioning correctly, and verify that the engine is not overloaded.
Use fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using fuel with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent damage to the fuel system.
Use fresh water and a mild detergent to clean the exterior. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Apply a marine wax for added protection.
Excessive vibration can be caused by a damaged propeller, loose engine mounts, or debris in the propeller. Inspect and repair or replace the propeller if necessary, and ensure all bolts and mounts are secure.
Refer to the owner's manual for the specific steps to reset the maintenance reminder. Typically, this involves navigating through the menu on the control display and selecting the reset option after performing the required maintenance.
Signs include the engine overheating, reduced water flow from the tell-tale, and unusual noises from the water pump area. Regular inspection and replacement every 300 hours or 3 years is recommended.
