Preface
This manual has been prepared by Yamaha primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their trained
mechanics when performing maintenance procedures and repairs to Yamaha equipment. It has
been written to suit the needs of persons who have the Bronze Technical Certificate of the YTA
(Yamaha Technical Academy) marine or the equivalent basic understanding of the mechanical and
electrical concepts and procedures inherent in the work, for without such knowledge attempted
repairs or service to the equipment could render it unsafe or unfit for use.
Because Yamaha has a policy of continuously improving its products, models may differ in detail
from the descriptions and illustrations given in this publication. Use only the latest edition of this
manual. Authorized Yamaha dealers are notified periodically of modifications and significant
changes in specifications and procedures, and these are incorporated in successive editions of this
manual. Also, up-to-date parts information is available on YPEC-web. Additional information and up-
to-date information on Yamaha products and services are available on Yamaha Service Portal.
Important information
Particularly important information is distinguished in this manual by the following notations:
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED!
A WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
A NOTICE indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid damages to the out-
board motor or other property.
TIP:
A TIP provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer.

General information
Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to pro-
vide quality service, observe the following
safety procedures.
Rotating part
• Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal
flotation device straps, and so on, can
become entangled with internal rotating
parts of the engine, resulting in serious
injury or death.
• Keep the top cowling installed whenever
possible. Do not remove or install the top
cowling when the engine is running.
• Only operate the engine with the top cowl-
ing removed according to the specific
instructions in the manual. Keep hands,
feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal flota-
tion device straps, and so on, away from
any exposed moving parts.
Hot part
During and after operation, engine parts are
hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch any
parts under the top cowling until the engine
has cooled.
Electric shock
Do not touch any electrical parts while start-
ing or operating the engine. Otherwise, shock
or electrocution could result.
Propeller
Do not hold the propeller with your hands
when loosening or tightening the propeller
nut.
Handling of gasoline
• Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep gaso-
line and all flammable products away from
heat, sparks, and open flames.
• Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury
or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never
siphon gasoline by mouth. If you swallow
some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If gasoline
spills on your skin, wash with soap and
water. If gasoline spills on your clothing,
change your clothes.
Ventilation
• Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are
heavier than air and extremely poisonous. If
gasoline vapor or exhaust gas is inhaled in
large quantities, it may cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a short time.
• When test running an engine indoors (for
example, in a water tank) make sure to do
so where adequate ventilation can be main-
tained.

Self-protection
• Protect your eyes by wearing safety
glasses or safety goggles during all opera-
tions involving drilling and grinding, or when
using an air compressor.
• Protect your hands and feet by wearing pro-
tective gloves and safety shoes when nec-
essary.
Working with crane
• Outboard motors weighing 18.0 kg (39.7 lb)
and over must be carried by a crane.
• Use the wire ropes of adequate strength,
and lift up the outboard motor using the
three point suspension.
• If the outboard motor does not have three
or more points to be suspended, support it
using additional ropes or the like so that the
outboard motor can be lifted and carried in
a stable manner.
Part, lubricant, and sealant
Use only genuine Yamaha parts, lubricants,
and sealants, or those recommended by
Yamaha, when servicing or repairing the out-
board motor.
Handling of sealant
• Wear protective gloves to protect your skin,
when using the sealants.
• See the material safety data sheet issued
by the manufacturer. Some of the sealants
may be harmful to human health.
Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools
to work safely, and to protect parts from dam-
age.

General information
Tightening torque
Follow the tightening torque specifications
provided throughout the manual. When tight-
ening nuts, bolts, and screws, tighten the
large sizes first, and tighten fasteners starting
in the center and moving outward.
Non-reusable part
Always use new gaskets, seals, O-rings, cot-
ter pins, and so on, when installing or assem-
bling parts.
Disassembly and assembly
• Use compressed air to remove dust and dirt
during disassembly.
• Apply engine oil to the contact surfaces of
moving parts before assembly.
• Install bearings so that the bearing identifi-
cation mark is facing in the direction indi-
cated in the installation procedure. In
addition, make sure to lubricate the bear-
ings liberally.
• Apply a thin coat of water resistant grease
to the lip and periphery of an oil seal before
installation.
• Check that moving parts operate normally
after assembly.

How to use this manual
Manual format
The format of this manual has been designed to make service procedures clear and easy to under-
stand. Use the following information as a guide for effective and quality service.
• Parts are shown and detailed in an exploded diagram and are listed in the component list (see a
in the following figure for an example page).
• The component list consists of part names and quantities, as well as bolt and screw dimensions
(see b in the following figure).
• Symbols are used to indicate important aspects of a procedure, such as the grade of lubricant and
the lubrication points (see c in the following figure).
• Tightening torque specifications are provided in the exploded diagrams (see d in the following fig-
ure), and in the related detailed instructions. Some torque specifications are listed in stages as
torque figures or angles in degrees.
• Separate procedures and illustrations are used to explain the details of removal, checking, and
installation where necessary (see e in the following figure for an example page).
TIP:
For troubleshooting procedures, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
