Yamaha F115 - Start-In-Gear Protection and Oil Grades

Specifications and requirements
23
On counter rotation models, be sure to use a
propeller intended for counterclockwise rota-
tion. These propellers are identified with the
letter “L” after the size indication on the pro-
peller. WARNING! Never use a standard
propeller with a counter rotation motor, or
a counter rotation propeller with a stan-
dard motor. Otherwise the boat could go
in the direction opposite of that expected
(for example, reverse instead of forward),
which could lead to an accident.

For instructions on propeller removal and in-
stallation, see page 98 and 99.

Start-in-gear protection
Yamaha outboard motors affixed with the pic-
tured label or Yamaha-approved remote con-
trol units are equipped with start-in-gear
protection device(s). This feature permits the
engine to be started only when it is in neutral.
Always select neutral before starting the en-
gine.
