too much oil, the air filter can become
saturated with oil, permanently damag-
ing the filter and reducing engine perfor-
mance.
● If oil is leaking or “Low Oil Press” ap-
pears on the LCD when the engine is
running, immediately turn the engine off
and have a Yamaha Boat Dealer check
the boat. Continuing to operate under
such conditions could cause severe en-
gine damage.
It is recommended to have a Yamaha Boat
Dealer change the engine oil and oil filter.
However, if you choose to change the oil filter
on your own and you have the special equip-
ment necessary to do so, refer to the service
manual for this boat.
Dispose of used oil according to local regula-
tions.
Checking the steering cable
To check the steering cable:
(1) Check for smooth operation of the steer-
ing wheel and jet thrust nozzle.
(2) Check for proper steering adjustment.
The nozzle should point straight back
when the steering wheel is centered.
If steering is stiff or misadjusted, ask a
Yamaha Boat Dealer to service it.
