methanol. Ethanol can be used if the ethanol
content does not exceed 10% and the fuel
meets the minimum octane ratings. All etha-
nol blends containing more than 10% etha-
nol can cause fuel system damage or cause
engine starting and running problems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-
taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage or engine performance
problems.

Muddy or acidic water
Yamaha strongly recommends that you have
your dealer install the optional chromium-
plated water pump kit if you use the outboard
motor in muddy or acidic water conditions.
However, depending on the model it might
not be required.

Anti-fouling paint
A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-
rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit
marine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
EMU36341
Motor disposal requirements
Never illegally discard (dump) the motor.
Yamaha recommends consulting the dealer
about discarding the motor.
EMU36352

● A tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pli-
ers, wrenches (including metric sizes), and
electrical tape.
● Waterproof flashlight with extra batteries.
● An extra engine shut-off cord (lanyard)
with clip.
● Spare parts, such as an extra set of spark
