NOTICE
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 YTA (Yamaha
Technical Academy) marine or the same basic understanding of the mechanical and electrical con-
cepts 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.
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!
WARNING
Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe injury or death to the machine
operator, a bystander, or a person inspecting or repairing the outboard motor.
CAUTION:
A CAUTION indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to the out-
board motor.
NOTE:
A NOTE provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer.

INFO Basic information
Safety while working
To prevent an accident or injury and to
ensure quality service, follow the safety pro-
cedures provided below.
Handling of gasoline
• Gasoline is highly flammable. Keep gaso-
line and all flammable products away from
heat, sparks, and open flames.
• Gasoline must be handled with great care.
Wash it off with water immediately if your
skin or outfit is tainted with gasoline.
• If gasoline should get into someone’s eye,
wash it off immediately with clean water
and see a doctor.
• If someone should erroneously swallowed
gasoline, see a doctor urgently. Gasoline
may cause serious effect on a human body.
Ventilation
• Gasoline vapor and exhaust gas are
heavier than air and extremely poisonous. If
inhaled in large quantities they may cause
loss of consciousness and death within a
short time.
• When test running an engine indoors
(e.g., in a water tank) be 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.
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.
• Refer to the material data sheet issued by
the manufacturer. Some of the sealants
may be harmful for human health.

Special service tool
Use the recommended special service tools
to protect parts from damage. Use the right
tool in the right manner—do not improvise.
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, circlips, etc., when installing or
assembling parts.
Disassembly and assembly
1. Use compressed air to remove dust and
dirt during disassembly.
2. Apply specified grease to the contact sur-
faces of moving parts before assembly.
3. Apply a thin coat of water-resistant
grease to the lip and periphery of an oil
seal before installation.
4. Check that moving parts operate nor-
mally after assembly.
Working with crane
• Outboard motors weighing 18.0 kg (39.7 lb)
and over must be carried by a crane.
• Use a wire rope of adequate strength, and
lift up the outboard motor with the three
point suspension.
• If the outboard motor does not have three
or more points to be suspended, support it
with additional ropes or the like so that the
outboard motor can be lifted and carried in
a stable manner.

• Symbols are used to indicate important aspects of a procedure, such as the grade of lubricant and
lubrication point (see c in the figure below).
• Tightening torque specifications are provided in the exploded diagrams (see d in the figure below
for an example), 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 figure below for an example page).

Assembling the Digital Electronic
Control ECM housing
1. Install the Digital Electronic Control ECM
b in the housing a.
CAUTION:
Do not make impact on the Digital Elec-
tronic Control ECM in the course of instal-
lation. Digital Electronic Control ECM is
precision equipment that requires careful
handling.
2. Put the PTT switch wiring c into the
groove on the rear housing d.
3. Install the stopper plate e (STBD side).
4. Put the neutral switch wiring f and the
free throttle switch wiring g through the
point a, and put the PTT switch wiring h
through the point b on the opposite side.
Install the stopper plate i (PORT side)
paying attention not to pinch the wirings
by the stopper plate i.
5. Install the control lever, and check that
the PTT switch wiring f will not be
strained while the control lever is moved
over the full stroke.
