Yamaha LZ300TUR v2 Owner's Manual

The recommended maintenance schedule includes regular inspections every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. This includes checking the engine oil, fuel system, cooling system, and propeller. Refer to the owner's manual for detailed intervals and procedures.
If the engine does not start, check the battery connections, ensure fuel is reaching the engine, and inspect the spark plugs for fouling. Additionally, verify that the safety lanyard is properly attached.
Use Yamaha 2M or an equivalent high-quality marine 2-stroke engine oil. Always check the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations.
Regularly check and clean the water intake screens, inspect the cooling system hoses for blockages, and ensure the impeller is in good condition. Avoid running the engine in shallow or debris-filled water.
If the alarm activates, reduce engine speed to idle and check for overheating, low oil level, or other warning indicators. Consult the owner's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
Remove the propeller and inspect for damage, such as cracks or dents. Check the propeller shaft for fishing lines or debris. Re-grease the shaft and reinstall the propeller securely.
Yamaha recommends using fuel with no more than 10% ethanol (E10). Avoid using fuels with higher ethanol content, as they can cause damage to the engine components.
To winterize, stabilize the fuel, fog the engine with fogging oil, drain the cooling system, and lubricate moving parts. Store the engine in an upright position in a dry environment.
Signs of fuel contamination include sputtering, stalling, difficulty starting, and a decrease in performance. Regularly check fuel filters and replace them if necessary.
Maintain a clean hull and propeller, use the correct propeller size, ensure proper engine tuning, and avoid excessive idling. Regular maintenance can also improve fuel efficiency.
