Safety information

EMU33623

Outboard motor safety

Observe these precautions at all times.

EMU36502

Propeller

People can be injured or killed if they come in

contact with the propeller. The propeller can

keep moving even when the motor is in neu-

tral, and sharp edges of the propeller can cut

even when stationary.

 Stop the engine when a person is in the

water near you.

 Keep people out of reach of the propeller,

even when the engine is off.

EMU40272

Rotating parts

Hands, feet, hair, jewelry, clothing, personal

flotation device (PFD) straps, etc., can be-

come entangled with internal rotating parts of

the engine, resulting in serious injury or

death.

Keep the top cowling in place whenever pos-

sible. Do not remove or replace the top cowl-

ing with the engine running.

Only operate the engine with the top cowling

removed according to the specific instruc-

tions in the manual. Keep hands, feet, hair,

jewelry, clothing, PFD straps, etc., away from

any exposed moving parts.

EMU33641

Hot parts

During and after operation, engine parts are

hot enough to cause burns. Avoid touching

any parts under the top cowling until the en-

gine has cooled.

EMU33651

Electric shock

Do not touch any electrical parts while start-

ing or operating the engine. They can cause

shock or electrocution.

EMU33661

Power trim and tilt

Body parts can be crushed between the mo-

tor and the clamp bracket when the motor is

trimmed or tilted. Keep body parts out of this

area at all times. Be sure no one is in this area

before operating the power trim and tilt

mechanism.

The power trim and tilt switches operate even

when the main switch is off. Keep people be

away from the switches whenever working

around the motor.

Never get under the lower unit while it is tilted,

even when the tilt support lever is locked. Se-

vere injury could occur if the outboard motor

accidentally falls.

EMU33672

Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)

Attach the engine shut-off cord so that the

engine stops if the operator falls overboard or

leaves the helm. This prevents the boat from

running away under power and leaving peo-

ple stranded, or running over people or ob-

jects.

Always attach the engine shut-off cord to a

secure place on your clothing or your arm or

leg while operating. Do not remove it to leave

the helm while the boat is moving. Do not at-

tach the cord to clothing that could tear

loose, or route the cord where it could be-

come entangled, preventing it from function-

ing.

Do not route the cord where it is likely to be

accidentally pulled out. If the cord is pulled

during operation, the engine will shut off and

you will lose most steering control. The boat

could slow rapidly, throwing people and ob-

jects forward.

EMU33811

Gasoline

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flamma-

ble and explosive. Always, refuel according

to the procedure on page 59 to reduce the

risk of fire and explosion.

EMU33821

Gasoline exposure and spills

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline

spills, wipe it up immediately with dry rags.

Dispose of rags properly.

If any gasoline spills onto your skin, immedi-

ately wash with soap and water. Change

clothing if gasoline spills on it.

If you swallow gasoline, inhale a lot of gaso-

line vapor, or get gasoline in your eyes, get

immediate medical attention. Never siphon

fuel by mouth.

EMU33901

Carbon monoxide

This product emits exhaust gases which con-

tain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless

gas which may cause brain damage or death

when inhaled. Symptoms include nausea,

dizziness, and drowsiness. Keep cockpit and

cabin areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking

exhaust outlets.

EMU33781

Modifications

Do not attempt to modify this outboard mo-

tor. Modifications to your outboard motor

may reduce safety and reliability, and render

the outboard unsafe or illegal to use.

EMU33741

Boating safety

This section includes a few of the many im-

portant safety precautions that you should

follow when boating.

EMU33711

Alcohol and drugs

Never operate after drinking alcohol or taking

drugs. Intoxication is one of the most com-

mon factors contributing to boating fatalities.

EMU40281

Personal flotation devices (PFDs)

Have an approved PFD on board for every

occupant. Yamaha recommends that you

must wear a PFD whenever boating. At a mi-

nimum, children and non-swimmers should

always wear PFDs, and everyone should

wear PFDs when there are potentially hazard-

ous boating conditions.

EMU33732

People in the water

Always watch carefully for people in the wa-

ter, such as swimmers, skiers, or divers,

whenever the engine is running. When some-

one is in the water near the boat, shift into

neutral and stop the engine.

Stay away from swimming areas. Swimmers

can be hard to see.

The propeller can keep moving even when

the motor is in neutral. Stop the engine when

a person is in the water near you.

EMU33752

Passengers

Consult your boat manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for details about appropriate passenger

locations in your boat and be sure all passen-

gers are positioned properly before acceler-

ating and when operating above an idle

speed. Standing or sitting in non-designated

locations may result in being thrown either

overboard or within the boat due to waves,

wakes, or sudden changes in speed or direc-

tion. Even when people are positioned prop-

erly, alert your passengers if you must make

any unusual maneuver. Always avoid jump-

ing waves or wakes.

EMU33762

Overloading

Do not overload the boat. Consult the boat

capacity plate or boat manufacturer for maxi-

mum weight and number of passengers. Be

sure that weight is properly distributed ac-

cording to the boat manufacturer’s instruc-

U63P3JE0.book Page 2 Tuesday, December 1, 2015 11:32 AM

Safety information

3

tions. Overloading or incorrect weight

distribution can compromise the boats han-

dling and lead to an accident, capsizing or

swamping.

EMU33773

Avoid collisions

Scan constantly for people, objects, and oth-

er boats. Be alert for conditions that limit your

visibility or block your vision of others.

Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep

a safe distance away from people, objects,

and other boats.

 Do not follow directly behind other boats or

waterskiers.

 Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that

make it hard for others to avoid you or un-

derstand where you are going.

 Avoid areas with submerged objects or

shallow water.

 Ride within your limits and avoid aggres-

sive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of

control, ejection, and collision.

 Take early action to avoid collisions. Re-

member, boats do not have brakes, and

stopping the engine or reducing throttle

can reduce the ability to steer. If you are not

sure that you can stop in time before hitting

an obstacle, apply throttle and turn in an-

other direction.

EMU33791

Weather

Stay informed about the weather. Check

weather forecasts before boating. Avoid

boating in hazardous weather.

EMU44161

Accident reporting

Boat operators are required by law to file a

Boating Accident Report with their boating

law enforcement agency if their boat is in-

volved in any of the following accidents:

1. There is loss of life or probable loss of

life.

2. There is personal injury that requires

medical attention beyond first aid.

3. There is property damage to boats or

other property over a certain amount.

4. There is complete loss of a boat.

Contact local law enforcement personnel if a

report is necessary.

EMU44171

Boat education and training

For U.S.A.

Operators should take a boating safety cour-

se. This may be required in your state. Many

of the organizations listed in the next section

can provide information about courses in

your area.

You may also want to consider an Internet-

based program for basic boater education.

The Online Boating Safety Course provided

by the BoatU.S. Foundation, is approved by

the National Association of State Boating

Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recog-

nized by the United States Coast Guard.

Most, but not all, states accept this course to

meet their minimum requirements. While it

cannot replace an in-depth course such as

one offered by the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.

Power Squadron, or other organization, this

online course does provide a general over-

view of the basics in boating safety, require-

ments, navigation, and operation. Upon

ZMU06025

successful completion of the course, the user

can download a certificate of completion im-

mediately or, for a small charge, request one

by mail. To take this free course, go to boa-

tus.org.

For Canada

All operators of pleasure craft must illustrate

competency by means of a Pleasure Craft

Operators Card with the exception of Person-

al Water Craft used for rental purposes which

require a rental checklist be completed. Plea-

sure Craft Operators Cards can be obtained

following the completion of a competency

course, with an on-line option. Details can be

found on Transport Canada’s website.

www.tc.gc.ca

EMU33881

Passenger training

Make sure at least one other passenger is

trained to operate the boat in the event of an

emergency.

EMU33891

Boating safety publications

Be informed about boating safety. Additional

publications and information can be obtained

from many boating organizations.

EMU33591

Laws and regulations

Know the marine laws and regulations where

you will be boating- and obey them. Several

sets of rules prevail according to geographic

location, but all are basically the same as the

International Rules of the Road. The rules

presented in the following section are con-

densed- and have been provided for your

convenience only.

Contact the U.S. Coast Guard, the National

Association of State Boating Law Administra-

tors, or your local Power Squadron for a com-

plete set of rules governing the waters in

which you will be using your boat.

EMU33692

Basic boating rules (Rules of

the road)

Just as there are rules that apply when you

are driving on streets and highways, there are

waterway rules that apply when you are driv-

ing your boat. These rules are used interna-

tionally. (For U.S.A.: and are also enforced by

the United States Coast Guard and local

agencies.) You should be aware of these

rules, and follow them whenever you encoun-

ter another vessel on the water.

EMU33702

Steering and sailing rules and sound

signals

Whenever two vessels on the water meet one

another, one vessel has the right-of-way; it is

called the “stand-on” vessel. The vessel that

does not have the right-of-way is called the

“give-way” or “burdened” vessel. These rules

determine which vessel has the right-of-way,

and what each vessel should do.

Stand-on vessel

The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty

to continue its course and speed, except to

avoid an immediate collision. When you

maintain your direction and speed, the other

vessel will be able to determine how best to

avoid you.

Give-way vessel

The vessel that does not have the right-of-

way has the duty to take positive and timely

action to stay out of the way of the Stand-On

vessel. Normally, you should not cross in

front of the vessel with the right-of-way. You

should slow down or change directions brief-

ly and pass behind the other vessel. You

should always move in such a way that the

operator of the other vessel can see what you

are doing.

“The general prudential rule”

This rule is called Rule 2 in the International

Rules and says,

“In obeying and construing these rules due

regard shall be had to all dangers of naviga-

tion and collision, and to any special circum-

stances, which may render a departure from

the above rules necessary in order to avoid

immediate danger.”

In other words, follow the standard rules ex-

cept when a collision will occur unless both

vessels try to avoid each other. If that is the

case, both vessels become “Give-Way” ves-

sels.

EMU25522

Rules when encountering vessels

There are three main situations that you may

encounter with other vessels which could

lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules

are followed:

Meeting: (you are approaching another ves-

sel head-on)

U63P3JE0.book Page 5 Tuesday, December 1, 2015 11:32 AM

Safety information

6

Crossing: (you are traveling across the other

vessel’s path)

Overtaking: (you are passing or being

passed by another vessel)

In the following illustration, your boat is in the

center. You should give the right-of-way to

any vessels shown in white area (you are the

Give-Way vessel). Any vessels in the shaded

area must yield to you (they are the Give-Way

vessels). Both you and the meeting vessel

must alter course to avoid each other.

Meeting

If you are meeting another power vessel head

on, and are close enough to run the risk of

collision, neither of you has the right-of-way

Both of you should alter course to avoid an

accident. You should keep the other vessel

on your port (left) side. This rule doesn’t apply

if both of you will clear one another if you con-

tinue on your set course and speed.

Crossing

When two power driven vessels are crossing

each other’s path close enough to run the risk

of collision, the vessel which has the other on

the starboard (right) side must keep out of the

way of the other. If the other vessel is on your

right, you must keep out of its way; you are

the Give-Way vessel. If the other vessel is on

your port (left) side, remember that you

should maintain course and direction, provid-

ed the other vessel gives you the right-of-way

as it should.

Overtaking

If you are passing another vessel, you are the

“Give-Way” vessel. This means that the other

vessel is expected to maintain its course and

speed. You must stay out of its way until you

are clear of it. Likewise, if another vessel is

passing you, you should maintain your speed

and direction so that the other vessel can

steer itself around you.

EMU25532

Other special situations

There are three other rules you should be

aware of when driving your boat around other

vessels.

Narrow channels and bends

When navigating in narrow channels, you

should keep to the right when it is safe and

practical to do so. If the operator of a power-

driven vessel is preparing to go around a

bend that may obstruct the view of other wa-

U63P3JE0.book Page 6 Tuesday, December 1, 2015 11:32 AM

Safety information

7

ter vessels, the operator should sound a pro-

longed blast on the whistle (4 to 6 seconds).

If another vessel is around the bend, it too

should sound the whistle. Even if no reply is

heard, however, the vessel should still pro-

ceed around the bend with caution. If you

navigate such waters with your boat, you will

need to carry a portable air horn, available

from local marine supply stores.

Fishing vessel right-of-way

All vessels that are fishing with nets, lines or

trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels”

under the International Rules. Vessels with

trolling lines are not considered fishing ves-

sels. Fishing vessels have the right-of-way

regardless of position. Fishing vessels can-

not, however, impede the passage of other

vessels in narrow channels.

Sailing vessel right-of-way

Sailing vessels should normally be given the

right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:

1. When the sailing vessel is overtaking the

power-driven vessel, the power-driven

vessel has the right-of-way.

2. Sailing vessels should keep clear of any

fishing vessel.

3. In a narrow channel, a sailing vessel

should not hamper the safe passage of a

power-driven vessel that can navigate

only in such a channel.

Reading buoys and other markers

The waters of the United States are marked

for safe navigation by the lateral system of

buoyage. Simply put, buoys and markers

have an arrangement of shapes, colors, num-

bers and lights to show which side of the

buoy a boater should pass on when navigat-

ing in a particular direction. The markings on

these buoys are oriented from the perspec-

tive of being entered from seaward (the boat-

er is going towards the port). This means that

red buoys are passed on the starboard (right)

side when proceeding from open water into

port, and black buoys are to port (left) side.

When navigating out of port, your position

with respect to the buoys should be reversed;

red buoys should be to port and black buoys

to starboard.

Many bodies of water used by boaters are

entirely within the boundaries of a particular

state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking

System has been devised for these waters.

This system uses buoys and signs with dis-

tinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory

or advisory information. These markers are

white with black letters and orange boarders.

They signify speed zones, restricted areas,

danger areas, and general information.

Remember, markings may vary by geograph-

ic location. Always consult local boating au-

thorities before driving your boat in unfamiliar

waters.
