    • P
      Paul HarrisAug 27, 2025
      If the fuel management gauge shows incorrect remaining fuel, the fuel capacity setting may be wrong (specifically for SQR Fuel mgt Gauge). Fill the tank with fuel, and set the correct fuel tank capacity.

    What causes Yamaha 25XMH Outboard Motor gauge response to be poor or down?
    • A
      amandanicholsSep 2, 2025
      If the gauge response is poor or down, a market obtainable unit connected to the system may have failed, or the signal volume has exceeded 50% of the capacity. Try replacing the unit or removing the heavy signal output unit.
