TEMPORARY ACTION INEMERGENCY

	EMU00417
	IMPACT DAMAGE
	w
	The outboard motor can be seriously
	damaged by a collision while operating
	or trailering. Damage could make the out-
	board motor unsafe to operate.
	If the outboard motor hits any object in
	the water, follow the procedure below.
	1) Stop the engine immediately.
	2) Inspect control system and all compo-
	nents for damage. Also, inspect the
	boat damage.
607011	3) However damage is found or not
	found, go back to a nearest harbor
	slowly and carefully.
	4) Have a Yamaha dealer inspection of
	the outboard motor, before operating
	it again.

	RUNNING SINGLE ENGINE
	Using only one of the engines in case of
	an emergency, be sure to keep the
	unused one tilted up and operate the
	other engine at low speed.
	cC
	If the boat is operated with one engine in
	the water but not running, water may run
	into the exhaust pipe due to wave action,
	causing engine trouble.

NOTE:

When you are maneuvering at low speed,

such as near a dock, it is recommended

102043 that both engines be running with one in neutral gear if possible.
