NOTICE
ECM01981
● Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
● Avoid getting water and contaminants
in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol (E10) and that containing
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.

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.
Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a min-
imum octane rating of 91 (Research
Octane Number).
Recommended gasoline:
Premium unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 94 (Re-
search Octane Number).
