    What to do if Yamaha FT8DMH Outboard Motor fuel management gauge shows incorrect fuel consumption?
    • A
      April HowellAug 18, 2025
      If the fuel management gauge shows incorrect fuel consumption, the engine recognition might be wrong (especially for multi-applications). To fix this, default the engine number and turn the key switch on in order from the portside engine to re-memorize each engine number.

    What causes Yamaha FT8DMH fuel management gauge to show incorrect remaining fuel?
    • S
      Stacy ZimmermanAug 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.

    • M
      Michael DavisAug 30, 2025

    Why Yamaha FT8DMH Outboard Motor Speedometer or Comb. Speedometer & Fuel mgt gauge shows incorrect fuel level?
    • S
      Scott GarnerSep 1, 2025
      If the speedometer or combination speedometer & fuel management gauge shows an incorrect fuel level, the fuel sensor selection is likely wrong. Set up the fuel sensor to the correct resistance.

    How to fix Yamaha FT8DMH Outboard Motor trim gauge showing incorrect position?
    • J
      Jillian SteeleSep 3, 2025
      If the trim gauge shows an incorrect position, the initial position setting might be wrong, or the trim sender could be damaged. Put the motor in the fully trimmed-in position and reset the initial (zero) trim angle. If that doesn't work, replace the trim sender.

    Why Yamaha FT8DMH Outboard Motor gauge operates unstably?
    • M
      Madeline CortezSep 6, 2025
      If the gauge operates unstably, it could be because a resistor is not connected to the ending hubs. Connect the gray 6-pin cap to the ending multi-hubs.

    What causes Yamaha FT8DMH Outboard Motor gauge response to be poor or down?
    • A
      anthonyreedSep 8, 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.
