NOTE:

8Fuel consumption varies greatly with boat design, weight, propeller used, engine trim angle, sea conditions (including wind), and throttle position. Fuel consumption also varies slightly with the type of water (salt, fresh, and contaminate levels), air temperature and humidity, cleanliness of the boat bottom, engine mounting height, skill of the operator, and individual gasoline formulation (winter or summer fuel and amount of additives).

8The Yamaha digital speedometer and fuel management meter calculates speed, miles traveled, and fuel econo- my by water movement at the stern of the boat. This distance can vary greatly from the actual distance traveled because of water currents, sea swells, and the condition of the water speed sensor (partially plugged or damaged).

8Individual engines may slightly vary in their fuel consumption due to manufac- turing variations. These variations can be even greater if the engines are of dif- ferent year models. In addition, varia- tions in propellers, even of the same basic dimensions of the same design, can also cause a slight variation in fuel consumption.
