Every operator should know the following requirements before operating the boat.● Before operating the boat, read the own- er’s/operator’s manual, the Operation In- struction card, and all labels on the boat. Also, watch the Basic Orientation Video provided with your boat. These materials should give you an understanding of the boat and its operation.● Neverallowanyonetooperatethisboatun- til they too have read this owner’s/opera- tor’s manual, the Operation Instruction card, and all labels, and, if possible, watched the Basic Orientation Video. Showing them the video may help reinforce the information contained in these materi- als.Limitations on who mayoperate the boat● Yamaharecommendsaminimumoperator age of 16 years old.Adults must supervise use by minors. Know the operator age and training require- ments for your state. A boating safety course is recommended and may be re- quired in your state. You can find local rules by contacting the United States Coast Guard (USCG), the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, or your local Power Squadron.● Thisboatisdesignedtocarrytheoperator, up to 7 passengers, and cargo. Never ex- ceed the maximum load limit or allow more than 8 persons (or 7 persons if the wake- boarder or water-skier is being pulled) to ride in the boat at any time.

Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.● Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance from people, objects, and other watercraft.● Do not follow directly behind other water- craft.● Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.● 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.● Take early action to avoid collisions. Re- member, boats do not have brakes.● Do not pull the remote control lever back to idle when trying to steer away from ob- jects—you need throttle to steer. Always check throttle, shift, and steering controls for proper operation before starting boat.● Operate within your limits and avoid ag- gressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection, and collision.Safety information● Thisisahigh-performanceboat—notatoy. Sharp turns or jumping wakes or waves can increase the risk of back/spinal injury (pa- ralysis), facial injuries, and broken legs, an- kles, and other bones. Do not jump wakes or waves.● Donotoperatetheboatinroughwater,bad weather, or when visibility is poor; this may lead to an accident causing injury or death. Be alert to the possibility of adverse weath- er. Take note of weather forecasts and the prevailing weather conditions before setting out in your boat.● Never operate in water that is less than 90 cm (3 ft) deep from the bottom of the boat, otherwise you increase your chance of hitting a submerged object, which could result in injury.● Leave a “float plan” with a responsible per- son on shore. Tell where you plan to go and when you plan to arrive, and provide a de- scription of your boat. Advise this person if your plans change and also when you ar- rive to prevent false alarms. A sample float plan is included on page 133.● Follow navigation rules and state and local laws that apply to your boat.90 cm (3 ft)13]]></page><page Index="20" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationOperational requirements● Theoperatorandallpassengersmustwear a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved per- sonal flotation device (PFD).● Attachtheengineshut-offcord(lanyard)to the PFD and keep it free from the steering wheel or other controls so that the engine stops if the operator accidentally leaves the helm. Failure to attach the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.After operation, remove the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) and the main switch key to avoid accidental starting or unauthorized use by children or others.1121 PFD● Eye protection is recommended to keep wind, water, and glare from the sun out of your eyes while you operate your boat. Re- straining straps for eyewear are made which are designed to float should your eyewear fall in the water.● Footwear is recommended.● Neveroperatetheboatafterconsumingal-cohol or taking drugs.● Forreasonsofsafetyandpropercareoftheboat, always perform the pre-operation checks listed on page 83 before operating the boat.● Passengersmustalwayssitinadesignated seating area, place feet on the deck, and hold on to the handgrips when the boat is in motion.● Alwaysconsultyourdoctoronwhetheritis safe for you to ride in this boat if you are pregnant or in poor health.● Donotattempttomodifythisboat.

Swimmers are hard to see and you could accidentally hit someone in the water.● Avoidbeinghitbyanotherboat.Youshould always take responsibility to watch for traf- fic; other boaters may not be watching for you. If they do not see you, or you maneu- ver more quickly than other boaters expect, you risk a collision.● Maintain a safe distance from other boats and watercraft, and also watch for ski ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Rules of the road”, and be sure to check behind you be- fore making a turn. (See “Rules of the road” on page 19.)14]]></page><page Index="21" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Required equipmentThe U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has regula- tions which describe minimum standards of safety. You must comply with these regula- tions, which apply to boats like your boat which are less than 26 feet long.● Personalflotationdevices(PFD):Type I, II, or III as required for all people on board (see “Operational requirements” for more information), plus at least one Type IV (throwable type).● Fireextinguisher:At least one B-1 type hand-held portable fire extinguisher.● Visualdistresssignals:It is recommended that a USCG-approved pyrotechnic device be stored on your boat. A mirror can also be used as an emergency signal. Contact your Yamaha Boat Dealer or the Coast Guard for more information.● Soundsignallingdevice:Your boat is equipped with a horn that can be used to signal other boats. See “Rules of the road” for more information.● Navigationlights:Your boat is equipped with navigation lights for use between sunset and sunrise, and during periods of reduced visibility, such as fog. Be sure these lights are working and are turned on when necessary. (See pages 48 and 64 for more information.)Safety informationAdditional equipmentrecommendationsThe following equipment can help make your boating experience safer and more enjoyable:● Mooringfendersandlines.● Anchorwithsuitableline(a“Danforth”typeanchor and line that is at least 6 times the depth of the water where you will drop an- chor are recommended).● Manual-typebilgepump.● First-aidkit.● Waterproofflashlightwithextrabatteries.● Tool kit with assorted screwdrivers, pliers,wrenches (including metric sizes), andelectrical tape.● Oarorpaddle(lookforonewithaboathookon the other end).● Spareparts,suchasfuses.● Navigationchartsforthewaterswhereyouwill be boating.● Tow-rope.15]]></page><page Index="22" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationHazard informationNever start the engine or let it run for any length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that may cause loss of con- sciousness and death within a short time. Al- ways operate the boat in an open area.It is also important to have the engine off when anyone is using the ladder on models equipped with one because of the carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases coming from underneath the step.Boat characteristics● Jet thrust turns the boat. Moving the remote control lever completely back to idle or the neutral position produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after moving the remote control lever back to idle, but once the engine slows down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed. Practice turning in an open area without obstructions until you have a good feel for the maneuver.● This Yamaha boat is water-jet propelled. The pump is directly connected to the en- gine. This means that the jet thrust will pro- duce some movement whenever the engine is running. The boat has a “neutral” position, but since the boat is always pro- ducing thrust while the engine is running, some forward or reverse movement may occur.● Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the boat above trolling speed as it could cause you to lose control, be ejected, or impact the steering wheel or oth- er parts of the boat. This could increase the risk of serious injury. It could also damage the shift mechanism.● Reversecanbeusedtoslowdownorstop during slow-speed maneuvering, such as when docking. Once the engine is idling, shift to reverse and gradually increase en- gine speed. Make sure that there are no ob- stacles or people behind you before shifting into reverse.16]]></page><page Index="23" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[●●Keep away from the intake grate while the engine is on. Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entan- gled in moving parts, resulting in severe in- jury or drowning.Never insert any object into the jet thrust nozzle while the engine is running. Severe injury or death could result from coming in contact with the rotating parts of the jet pump.Safety informationNight operationWhen using your boat before dawn or after dusk, you must have both bow and anchor lights operating. When at anchor in the dark, the anchor light must be lit. (See pages 48 and 64 for instructions.)211 2●Intake grateJet thrust nozzleStop the engine and remove the clip from the engine shut-off switch before removing any debris or weeds, which may have col- lected around the jet intake. (See page 124 for more information.)17]]></page><page Index="24" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationWakeboarding and water-skiingYou can use the boat to tow a wakeboarder or water-skier, using the tow pylon (AR195/AR190) or the ski tow hook provided. It is the boat operator’s responsibility to be alert to the safety of the wakeboarder or wa- ter-skier and others. Know and follow all state and local regulations in effect for the waters in which you will be operating.The following are some important consider- ations for minimizing risks while pulling a wakeboarder or water-skier.● The wakeboarder or water-skier shouldwear an approved PFD, preferably a bright- ly colored one so boat operators can see the person being pulled.● The wakeboarder or water-skier should wear protective clothing. Severe internal in- juries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into the water or while reboarding. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful wa- ter entry into the rectum or vagina. The per- son being pulled should wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing that provides equivalent protection. Such clothing includes thick, tightly woven, sturdy, and snug-fitting ap- parel such as denim, but does not include spandex or similar fabrics, like those used in bicycle shorts.● A second person should be on board as a spotter to watch the wakeboarder or water- skier; in most states, it is required by law. Let the person being pulled direct the oper- ator’s control of speed and direction with hand signals. Be sure the seat is locked in place (see page 54) before getting under- way.● Whenpreparingtopullthewakeboarderor water-skier, operate the boat at the slowest possible speed until the boat is well away from the person being pulled and slack in the tow-rope is taken up. Make sure that the rope is not looped around anything.After checking that the wakeboarder or wa- ter-skier is ready and that there is no traffic or other obstacles, apply enough throttle to raise the person.● Makesmooth,wideturns.Theboatiscapa- ble of very sharp turns, which could exceed the abilities of the wakeboarder or water- skier. Keep the person being pulled at least 50 m (164 ft), about twice the distance of a standard tow-rope, away from any potential hazard.● Theoperatorsofboatsandotherwatercraft may not be aware that you are pulling a wakeboarder or water-skier. Together with the spotter, pay attention to others around you and cruise at safe speeds.● Be alert to the hazard of the tow-rope han- dle snapping back at the boat when the wakeboarder or water-skier falls or is un- able to get up on the skis.See pages 8 and 66 for wakeboard tower use.18]]></page><page Index="25" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Rules of the roadYour Yamaha boat is legally considered a powerboat. Operation of the boat must be in accordance with the rules and regula- tions governing the waterway on which it is used.Just as there are rules that apply when you are driving on streets and highways, there are waterway rules that apply when you are oper- ating your boat. These rules are used interna- tionally, 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 encounter another vessel on the water.Several sets of rules prevail according to geo- graphic location, but are all basically the same as the International Rules of the Road. The rules presented here in this owner’s/opera- tor’s manual are condensed, and have been provided for your convenience only. Consult your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or De- partment of Motor Vehicles for a complete set of rules governing the waters in which you will be operating your boat.Steering and sailing rulesWhenever 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 vesselThe vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision. When you main- tain your direction and speed, the other vessel will be able to determine how best to avoid you.Safety informationGive-way vesselThe vessel which 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 briefly and pass behind the other vessel. You should al- ways move in such a way that the operator of the other vessel can see what you are doing. The General Prudential Rule regarding the right-of-way is that if a collision appears un- avoidable, neither boat has the right-of-way. Both boats must avoid the collision.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 vessels. Rules when encountering vesselsThere are three main situations that you may encounter with other vessels which could lead to a collision unless the Steering Rules are fol- lowed:Meeting: you are approaching another vessel head-on.Crossing: you are traveling across another vessel’s path.Overtaking: you are passing or being passed by another vessel.19]]></page><page Index="26" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationIn the following illustration, your boat is in the center. You should give the right-of-way to any vessels shown in the white area (you are the give-way vessel). Any vessels in the shad- ed area must yield to you (they are the give- way vessels). Both you and the meeting ves- sel must alter course to avoid each other.CrossingWhen 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 starboard (right) side, 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, provided the other vessel gives you the right- of-way, as it should.MeetingIf you are meeting another power-driven ves- sel 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 does not ap- ply if both of you will clear one another if you continue on your set course and speed.OvertakingIf 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.20]]></page><page Index="27" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Other special situationsThere are three other rules you should be aware of when operating your boat around other vessels.Narrow channels and bendsWhen 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 water vessels, the operator should sound a pro- longed blast of four to six seconds on the horn. If another vessel is around the bend, it too should sound the horn. Even if no reply is heard, however, the vessel should still pro- ceed around the bend with caution.Fishing vessel right-of-wayAll vessels fishing with nets, lines, or trawls are considered to be “fishing vessels” under the International Rules. Vessels with trolling lines are not considered fishing vessels. Fish- ing vessels have the right-of-way regardless of position. Fishing vessels cannot, however, impede the passage of other vessels in nar- row channels.Sailing vessel right-of-waySailing vessels should normally be given the right-of-way. The exceptions to this are:(1) Whenthesailingvesselisovertakingthepower-driven vessel, the power-drivenvessel has the right-of-way.(2) Sailingvesselsshouldkeepclearofanyfishing vessel.(3) In a narrow channel, a sailing vesselshould not hamper the safe passage of a power-driven vessel that can navigate only in such a channel.Reading buoys and other markersThe 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-Safety informationbers, 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 perspective of being entered from seaward (the boater is going towards the harbor). Red buoys are passed on your starboard (right) side when proceeding from open water into port, and black buoys are to your port (left) side. An easy way to remember the meaning of the colors is the phrase “red right returning.” When navigating out of the harbor, your posi- tion with respect to the buoys should be re- versed; red buoys should be to port and black buoys to starboard.Many bodies of water used by boaters are en- tirely within the boundaries of a particular state. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System has been devised for these waters.21]]></page><page Index="28" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Safety informationThis system uses buoys and signs with distinctive shapes and colors to show regulatory or ad- visory information. These markers are white with black letters and orange borders. They signify speed zones, restricted areas, danger areas, and general information.Remember, markings may vary by geographic location. Always consult local boating authori- ties before riding your boat in unfamiliar waters.22]]></page><page Index="29" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[To get more boating safetyinformationBe informed about boating safety.

So your enjoyment includes a responsibility to treat these other people, and the lands, wa- ters, and wildlife with respect and courtesy. Whenever and wherever you are boating, think of yourself as the guest of those around you. Remember, for example, that the sound of your boat may be music to you, but it could be just noise to others. And the exciting splash of your wake can make waves others won’t enjoy. Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife areas, and keep a respectful distance from fishermen, other boats, swimmers, and populated beaches. When travel in areas like these is unavoidable, operate slowly and obey all laws.Remember that pollution can be harmful to the environment. Do not refuel or add oil where a spill could cause damage to nature. Keep your surroundings pleasant for the peo- ple and wildlife that share the waterways: don’t litter!When you go boating responsibly, with re- spect and courtesy for others, you help en- sure that our waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a variety of recreational opportu- nities.The Online Boating Safety Course: http://www.boatus.org/23]]></page><page Index="30" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[DescriptionBoat glossaryTERMBowDeckGive-wayGunwaleHatchHelmHullLanyardPFDPlaningPortStand-onStarboardSternSub-planingTransomTrollingWakeDEFINITIONThe front part of the boat.The “floor” or upper structure which covers the hull.The vessel that must yield the right-of-way when two boats meet.The meeting junction of the deck and hull; the upper edge around the boat.

Failure to attach the cord could result in a runaway boat if the operator is ejected.● Do not attach the cord to clothing that could tear loose. Do not route the cord in such a way that it could become entan- gled, preventing it from functioning.● Avoid accidentally pulling the cord dur- ing normal operation. Once the engine has stopped, you have no steering con- trol of the boat which could result in an accident. Also, without engine power, the boat could slow rapidly from planing speed. This could cause people and ob- jects in the boat to be thrown forward, which could cause injury.The clip on the end of the engine shut-off cord (lanyard) must be attached to the engine shut- off switch for the engine to run. The cord must be attached to a secure place on the opera- tor’s PFD. Should the operator fall overboard or leave the helm, the cord will pull out the clip, stopping the ignition to the engine. This will prevent the boat from running away under power.1 Engine shut-off switch2 Clip3 Engine shut-off cord (lanyard)Battery switchThe battery switch is located in the rear under- seat storage compartment (port).213WARNING11 Battery switchTurn the battery switch to the OFF (red) posi- tion when the boat will not be used again right away. Turning the switch to the OFF (red) po- sition will prevent the battery from being drained if another electrical switch is acciden- tally left in the on position. NOTICE: Do not turn the battery switch to the OFF (red) po- sition if the boat is moored in the water as it will prevent the bilge pump and anchor light from functioning.33]]></page><page Index="40" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Control function operation12WARNING1 ON (green) position2 OFF (red) positionMain switchTIP:The main switch will not operate (the starter motor will not turn over) if the battery switch in the rear underseat storage compartment (port) is turned to the OFF (red) position. (See page 33 for more information.)Remote control lever● Before shifting, make sure there are no swimmers or obstacles in the water near you.● When operating in reverse, go slowly. Do not open the throttle more than half. Otherwise, the boat may become unsta- ble, which could result in loss of control and an accident.● Do not shift into reverse while traveling at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat swamping, or damage to the boat could occur.A single lever controls both throttle and shift- ing. Moving the remote control lever forward from the neutral position shifts into the forward position, and then as the lever is moved far- ther, accelerates the engine for more thrust. Moving the lever back from the neutral posi- tion shifts into the reverse position, and then as the lever is moved farther, accelerates the engine for more thrust.The main switch controls the ignition and electrical circuits as follows:BILGE BLOWER OFF ONSTART11 Main switchOFF:Ignition circuit is switched off. The engine can- not be started, but other switches will operate. (The main switch key can be removed.)ON:Ignition circuit is switched on. (The main switch key cannot be removed.)START:The starter motor will turn to start the engine.

The engine will not start unless the lever is in the neutral position.This boat uses a direct-drive propulsion sys- tem. Therefore, jet thrust is always being pro- duced while the engine is running. The direction of the boat is controlled by the shift gate, which directs the flow of the jet thrust as follows:NeutralThe shift gate is dropped down part way over the jet thrust nozzle. The neutral position bal- ances forward and reverse thrust to help keep the boat from moving, although some move- ment may occur.1 Shift gate2 Jet thrust nozzleForwardWhen the remote control lever is initially moved to the forward position and the boat is operating at a slow speed, the shift gate is lift- ed up slightly from the neutral position and jet thrust is directed downward at an angle. This function, which is called the thrust directional enhancer (TDE), helps to provide good han- dling response when the steering wheel is turned, even though there is less thrust avail- able at low engine speeds.N F1R1 TDE positionWhen the remote control lever is moved far- ther forward, the shift gate is lifted all the way up. All jet thrust is to the rear, which moves the boat forward.35]]></page><page Index="42" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Control function operation1121 Shift gate2 Jet thrust nozzleReverseThe shift gate is dropped all the way down over the jet thrust nozzle. Jet thrust is redirect- ed toward the bow of the boat, which moves the boat backward.1 Steering wheel1 211 Shift gateSteeringYour boat can be steered by turning the steer- ing wheel the same direction you wish to trav- el, to the right or left. When the steering wheel is turned, the angle of the jet thrust nozzle at the rear of the craft is changed, and the change in direction of the jet thrust nozzle changes the direction of the boat accordingly. In addition, the direction of the articulating keel changes according to the movement of the jet thrust nozzle.1 Jet thrust nozzle2 Articulating keelSince the strength of the jet thrust determines the speed and direction of a turn, the throttle must always be opened above idle when at- tempting a turn, except at trolling speed. Because boats steer from the stern, the stern of the boat swings out in the opposite direction of your turn. If you turn to starboard, for exam- ple, the stern of the boat will swing to the left. Keep this in mind when navigating near a per- son in the water, such as a down wakeboard- er or water-skier, or an obstacle, such as a dock.36]]></page><page Index="43" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Control function operationTilt leverWARNING● Never touch the tilt lever during opera- tion, otherwise, the steering wheel could suddenly change position, which may lead to an accident.● Be sure the steering wheel is locked in position after adjustment. If the steering wheel is not locked in position, it may suddenly change position during opera- tion, which may lead to an accident.The tilt lever is located under the steering wheel and is used to adjust the tilt of the steer- ing wheel.

Once acknowledged, the message will disappear and be replaced by an “ ” flashing in re- verse video in a corner of the display.Engine overheat warning systemThis model is equipped with an engine over- heat warning system. If the engine starts to overheat, “      Engine Over Temp” will appear on the LCD. The buzzer also begins to sound. The engine speed is automatically limited to help prevent damage. If this occurs, immedi- ately reduce the engine speed, return to shore or maneuver to a safe location, and check for water discharge at the cooling water pilot out- let.The cooling water pilot outlet is located on the starboard side of the hull. Check that water comes out of the outlet while the engine is running, particularly while applying throttle. If you do not see any water at the outlet, cooling water may not be circulating in the engine.

At the same time, the engine speed is automatically limited to help prevent damage. If this occurs, reduce the engine speed, return to shore or maneuver to a safe location, and check the engine oil level (see page 77 for engine oil lev- el checking procedures). If the oil level is low, add enough engine oil to raise it to the proper level. If the oil level is sufficient, have a Yamaha Boat Dealer check the engine.Check engine warningIf an engine sensor malfunction or a short cir- cuit is detected, “ Check Engine” will appear on the LCD and the buzzer will sound intermit- tently. If this occurs, reduce the engine speed, return to shore, and have a Yamaha Boat Dealer check the engine.Low/high battery voltage warningIf either “Batt Voltage” or “Aux Voltage” ap- pears on the LCD, check the battery connec- tions. If the battery connections are clean and tight and the warning indication continues, have a Yamaha Boat Dealer check the charg- ing system.Low fuel level warningIf “ Low Fuel Level” appears on the LCDs of the multi-function tachometers, refill the fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 75 for in- formation on filling the fuel tank.)11 Intake grate NOTICEIf the cause of overheating cannot be found and corrected, take special precau- tions to avoid major engine damage while you return to shore.If getting a tow from another vessel is not possible, operate engine just slightly above idle while you return to shore.

The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged continuously for more than 5 seconds.On this boat, the engine is connected directly to the drive unit. Starting the engine gener- ates some thrust immediately. Only enough throttle should be applied to keep the engine at a fast enough idle to stay running.Stopping the engineOnce the engine has stopped, you have NO STEERING CONTROL over the boat. You could collide with another boat, a dock, or other obstacle.Stopping the engine immediately after operat- ing at high engine speeds is not recommend- ed.

It is especially important to under- stand this characteristic when leaving a dock. If you move the remote control lever to the for- ward position and simply turn the steering wheel to steer the bow away from the dock, as you would when driving a car out of a parking space, you will drive the stern of the boat into the dock.The following steps are basic maneuvering techniques which can be used in most circum- stances:(1) With the engine idling and the bow stillmoored to the dock, turn the steering wheel toward the dock. Moving the re- mote control lever into the TDE position or forward position will start to move the stern of the boat away from the dock.(2) Whenthesternisoutafewfeet,release the bow mooring, and then turn the steer- ing wheel to the center position or away from the dock.

An unprepared pas- senger could lose balance and fall.Steering control depends on the combination of steering wheel position and the amount of throttle.Water sucked in through the intake grate is pressurized by the impeller in the jet pump. As the pressurized water is expelled from the pump through the jet thrust nozzle, it creates thrust to move and steer the boat. The higher the engine speed, the more thrust is pro- duced.The amount of jet thrust, in addition to the po- sition of the steering wheel, determines how sharply you turn.A. More throttle produces high thrust, so theboat will turn more sharply.A96]]></page><page Index="103" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[B. Less throttle produces low thrust, so the boat will turn more gradually.OperationD. If the boat is moving and the remote con- trol lever is in neutral position, or if there is no thrust because the engine is stopped, the boat will go straight even though the steering wheel is turned. You need throttle to steer.BDC. Pulling the remote control lever back to idle or neutral position produces only minimum thrust. If you are traveling at speeds above trolling, you will have rap- idly decreasing ability to steer without throttle. You may still have some turning ability immediately after pulling the re- mote control lever back to idle, but when the engine slows down, the boat will no longer respond to steering wheel input until you apply throttle again or you reach a trolling speed.At trolling speed, the boat can be turned gradually by steering wheel position alone using just the amount of thrust available at engine idle.Turning leftCTurning right97]]></page><page Index="104" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OperationBoating with passengersWhen passengers are on board, make sure they are seated and holding onto the handgrips before you start to accelerate. An unprepared passenger could lose bal- ance and fall.Your boat is designed for one operator and up to 7 passengers only. Never have more than 8 people in the boat. Passengers must sit in one of the seats and hold onto the handgrips. Passengers should sit so the weight in the boat is balanced from side-to-side and bow- to-stern as much as possible. If the passenger seat in front of the helm is used, be sure the operator’s view ahead is not obstructed.● You will lose steering control if you completely pull the throttle back to idle. You need throttle to steer.● Do not use the reverse function to slow down or stop the boat from planing speed as it could cause you to lose con- trol, be ejected, or impact the steering wheel or other parts of the boat. This could increase the risk of serious injury.The boat is not equipped with a separate braking system. It is stopped by water resis- tance after the remote control lever is moved back to idle. From full speed, the boat stops in approximately 150 m (492 ft) for the AR195/SX195 or 96 m (315 ft) for the AR190/SX190 after the remote control lever is moved back to idle. The stopping distance varies depending on gross weight, water sur- face conditions, and wind direction. The stat- ed straight-line stopping distance should be used for a reference. The boat slows down as soon as the remote control lever is returned to idle but will coast for a distance before fully stopping. If you are not sure you can stop in time before hitting an obstacle, apply throttle and turn in another direction.AR195/SX195WARNINGMaximum load:Total weight of cargo, operator, and passengers:554 kg (1220 lb) (AR195/SX195)563 kg (1240 lb) (AR190/SX190) Total weight of operator and passen- gers:526 kg (1160 lb)Stopping the boat● Allowadequatestoppingdistance.● Takeearlyactiontoavoidcollisions.Re-member, boats do not have brakes.● Operate defensively at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other boats to give you timeto stop.● Donotshuttheengineoffwhenslowingdown in case you need engine power to steer away from a boat or other obstacle that comes into your path.150 m (492 ft)WARNING98]]></page><page Index="105" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[AR190/SX190Operation96 m (315 ft)Boarding from the waterTo avoid severe injury or death, do not board from the rear, use swim platform, or swim behind boat if engine is running.● Severe internal injuries can occur if wa-ter is forced into body cavities as a re-sult of being near the jet thrust nozzle.● Exhaustgasescomingfromunderneath the swim platform contain carbon mon- oxide, a colorless, odorless gas which may cause brain damage or death when inhaled.

Anchoring from the stern will make the boat un- steady. A strong current can pull a stern- anchored boat underwater.Select an anchor appropriate for your boat and water conditions. A “Danforth” (or fluke) type anchor is suitable for most applications; your Yamaha Boat Dealer can help you choose an anchor.(1) Makesuretheanchorlineissecurelytied to the anchor and to the bow eye or a bow cleat.(2) Movetheboattothespotwhereyouwant to lower the anchor, heading the boat into the wind or current. Stop the boat, and then lower the anchor until it hits bottom.(3) Whilekeepingtensionontheline,slowly back up the boat until you have let out line that is 4–6 times the depth of the water. For example, if you are anchoring in 10 feet of water, let out 40–60 feet of line. Secure the line.(4) Pull on the line to be sure the anchor is holding. Also, periodically check your boat’s position against the shoreline to make sure it is not drifting and dragging the anchor. Reset if necessary.(5) To pull in (“weigh”) the anchor, start the engine and move forward, keeping ten- sion on the line as you pull it in. When the anchor line is straight up and down, pull hard to lift the anchor from the bottom material.Operation(6) If the anchor is stuck on the bottom, try this: Let out a few feet of anchor line and secure the line to the boat, again. Slowly maneuver the boat around the anchor until the anchor pulls loose. Keep the line taut during this procedure.Crossing wakes and swellsYou will not always have flat, smooth water. There will be swells and wakes from other boats, etc.The best way to cross wakes and swells is with the least jolt to you and the boat. Small swells are not as difficult to cross as larger swells or wakes. Crossing a sharp wake gives more of a jolt than a broad swell.WARNINGSharp wakesBroad swell101]]></page><page Index="108" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[OperationTo cross a wake or swell, change your speed and choose the angle at which you cross the wake or swell. Usually, a slower speed and “quartering” the wake (crossing at an angle) will reduce the jolt.Two other things you may notice. The first is that crossing a group of wakes or swells is not as easy or smooth as crossing just one wake. The second is that when you quarter the wake or swell, the boat will try to steer away from the wake or swell. When crossing at a 45° an- gle, you may not notice this, but at a smaller angle, say 10°, it can be very strong. Be pre- pared to steer and balance as necessary.Post-operation checksThese post-operation procedures are devel- oped to help preserve the long-term appear- ance and reliability of your boat. Perform these procedures as soon as possible after the boat is loaded back on the trailer after the day’s use.Some owners prefer to moor their boat sea- sonally, rather than keeping it on the trailer between uses. Extended mooring is not recommended. Proper flushing of the cool- ing system is not possible with the boat in the water. In addition, conditions such as stray electrical voltage in the water, marine organ- isms, and saltwater corrosion can adversely affect the life of many boat components. NOTICE: Leaving the boat in the water for extended periods will accelerate the rate of normal deterioration of the jet pump components, sacrificial anodes, hull finish and other components.If you do decide to moor your boat, be sure to remove it from the water periodically to clean the hull and jet pump area. The frequency of maintenance required will depend upon whether the water is salt water or fresh water and other local water conditions.(1) After putting the boat on the trailer, flush the cooling system to prevent the cooling system from clogging up with salt, sand, or dirt. Refer to page 108 for the cooling system flushing procedure.(2) Drain residual water from the exhaust system by starting the engine, and then alternately pushing the remote control le- ver up to half throttle and back to idle for 10 to 15 seconds. NOTICE: Do not run the engine over 4000 r/min on land. Al- so, do not run the engine for more than 15 seconds without supplyingWake90˚45˚10˚102]]></page><page Index="109" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[water, otherwise, the engine couldoverheat and/or seize.(3) Stop the engine.(4) Wash down the hull, helm, and jet driveunit with fresh water.(5) Open the rear platform hatch. (See page61 for rear platform hatch opening andclosing procedures.)(6) Remove the access port cap to let anywater drain that has pooled on it. (See page 124 for access port cap removal and installation procedures.) If the boat will be stored on the trailer nearby, leave the cap out until you prepare to launch the boat again. If the boat will be trans- ported on the trailer any distance, tempo- rarily reinstall the cap and close the hatch until you get home. Open the hatch again when you arrive and remove the cap as before. Leave the cap loose until you plan to transport the boat on the trailer again. NOTICE: Leaving the access port cap out when you are not using or trans- porting the boat helps keep it from be- coming stuck in the access port.(7) Remove the hull drain plugs, the engine compartment drain plug, and the fuel tank compartment drain plug. (See page 79.)(8) Rinse the engine compartment with a small amount of fresh water. Be careful not to get water on the air filter area or electrical components. Allow any water in the bilge to drain out. After the water has drained, wipe the engine compartment and bilge with dry rags.(9) Reinstallalldrainplugs.NOTICE:Tight- en the hull drain plugs securely before launching the boat. Otherwise, water may flood the boat and cause it to sub- merge. Clean any foreign material, such as dirt or sand, from the threadsOperationand the O-rings on the hull drain plugsbefore installing the drain plugs.(10) Spray a rust inhibitor, such as Yamaha Silicone Protectant and Lubricant, on me- tallic parts to minimize corrosion.(11) Use the included boat cover, or store the boat in a building or under a canopy or carport in order to prevent rain from fall- ing onto the boat. Because all of the wa- ter will not be drained from the deck automatically, take sufficient measures to prevent rainwater from entering the boat. NOTICE: Make sure that the turnbuck- les on the boat cover do not contact the boat directly when using the cov- er. Otherwise, the boat could be dam- aged.(12) Turn the battery switch in the rear under- seat storage compartment (port) to the OFF (red) position. (See page 33 for more information.)103]]></page><page Index="110" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[TraileringTrailering the boatAvoid accident and injury from improper trailering:● The trailer must be matched for theboat’s weight and hull.● The towing vehicle must have the capac-ity of pulling the load. Pulling a load that exceeds the towing capacity may cause loss of control.● Be sure the boat is secured to the trailer and the trailer is properly hitched to the towing vehicle before towing.● Read the manuals supplied with the trailer by the manufacturer.A trailer is provided as standard equipment with your boat. If you need to obtain another trailer, choose one that is manufactured to carry a boat of the size and weight of your boat. Check the certification label on the left forward side of the trailer. This label is re- quired to show the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing (GVWR), which is the load carrying capacity of the trailer plus the trailer’s weight. Be sure that the total weight of your boat, any cargo, and the trailer weight itself does not ex- ceed the GVWR.HitchThe trailer hitch ball must match the size of the socket on the trailer hitch coupler. Hitches are divided into classes that specify the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and the maximum tongue weight. Always use a hitch rated for the same or higher class. Use a bolted-on or welded-on hitch; clamp-on bumper hitches are not recommended. Be sure the trailer hitch’s release handle is latched with the lock pin installed before towing.Use safety chains between the towing vehicle and the trailer so the trailer will not detach completely from the towing vehicle if it acci- dentally comes loose from the hitch ball. Crisscross the chains under the trailer tongue so the tongue will not hit the road surface if it falls loose. Rig the chains as tightly as possi- ble while allowing just enough slack to permit tight turns.Be sure the tongue weight (vertical weight on the hitch point) is correct. Generally, 5% to 10% of the combined weight of the boat and trailer should be on the tongue. Too much or too little weight can cause difficult steering or trailer swaying.Trailering checklist● Checkyourstatelawstobesureyourtrailer meets all regulations, such as proper li- censing, brake, axle load, and safety chain requirements.● Check the trailer for any loose fasteners or damaged parts.● Checkthetiresforproperinflation.● Check the wheel bearings and wheel lugnuts before each trip.● Checkthetail,brake,andturnsignallightsfor proper operation.WARNING104]]></page><page Index="111" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[●Secure the bow of the boat to the trailer with the winch line and also with the chain. Se- cure the stern eyes to the trailer with tie- downs.Trailering● Be sure any cargo that must be carried in the boat as well as the folding windshield and all hatches are secured.● While traveling, check the wheel hubs on the trailer whenever you park. If a hub feels abnormally hot, have the bearing inspected before continuing your trip. On longer trips, it is a good idea to carry a set of spare wheel bearings, seals, and races.● When making a turn, do not cut corners. The trailer has a smaller turning circle, so it turns more sharply around the corner than the towing vehicle.Backing your trailerIt takes practice to back a trailer successfully. If you are not familiar backing up with a trailer, practice first in an open area away from ob- stacles.11Bow eye111●Stern eyeTakedownandstorethebiminitop,ifused. The bimini top is not designed to stay unse- cured on the boat at highway speeds.

Each launch may have particular differences, such as ramp angle, prevailing wind, waves, and water currents. If possible, watch a cou- ple of boaters launch their boats first to notice any problems. While every boater develops a preferred launch procedure, here is a recom- mended general procedure:(7) Back the boat out into the water, watch- ing carefully for people, other boats, or obstacles.Loading(1) Disconnect the trailer lights from the tow- ing vehicle.(2) Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If pos- sible, have a second person act as an ob- server while standing to the side of the trailer. Stop when the tops of the trailer’s fenders are about 3 inches above the wa- terline.(3) With the boat moving at the slowest idle speed, guide the boat onto the support rails. Use throttle only if necessary for steering ability. WARNING! Using too much throttle can cause the boat to jump over the front of the trailer, which can result in injury to the boat operator and bystanders.(4) Make sure the boat is centered on the support rails and is headed straight for the bow stop (bumper board). Ease the boat forward until the bow rests against the bow stop. NOTICE: The winch line is not designed to pull the boat onto the trailer.(5) Attach and tighten the winch line.NOTICE: The winch line should not be the only line securing the bow during trailering. Use the chain along with the winch to secure the boat to the trailer.(1) Performthepre-operationchecksshown on page 83 that can be performed on land.(2) Remove all trailering tie-down lines from the boat and attach your docking lines and fenders, if used.(3) Disconnectthetrailerlightsfromthetow- ing vehicle.(4) Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If pos- sible, have a second person stand aside as an observer. Stop when the wheels are at least halfway submerged. Set the parking brake.(5) Removethebowlinefromtheboweye.(6) Backthetrailerfartherintothewateruntil just the tops of the fenders show, and then reset the parking brake. Board the boat and start it. If possible, remain on the trailer until the engine is warm and is re-sponding to throttle.106]]></page><page Index="113" isMAC="true"><![CDATA[Trailering11 Bow eyeLiftingNOTICEDo not attach lifting cables to the bow eye, cleats, stern eyes, ski tow hook, or hand- grips. Serious damage to the boat can oc- cur. Use only a sling designed specifically for lifting boats.If you need to remove the boat from the water without a trailer, use these guidelines:● Use a sling-type lifting mechanism de-signed for lifting boats. The sling should be covered with a protective material to pre- vent damage to the hull gelcoat.● Use spreader bars to avoid side stress to the hull that may cause cracks in the gel- coat and fiberglass.● Attachguidelinestotheboweyeandstern eyes to control movement of the boat dur- ing lifting.● Remove all people and all cargo from the boat.

It is advisable to have the boat serviced by an authorized Yamaha Boat Dealer before storage. However, the following procedures can be performed by the owner with a mini- mum of tools.Fuel systemFill the fuel tank with fresh fuel, adding one ounce of Fuel Med RX, available from your Yamaha Boat Dealer, to each gallon of fuel or use an equivalent according to the manufac- turer’s instructions. (See page 75 for informa- tion on filling the fuel tank.) Do not “top off” the tank, because fuel could spill. A full fuel tank is less likely to allow condensation to collect in the tank, reducing the chance of contaminat- ed fuel. Running the engine with treated fuel during cooling system flushing will also help protect the fuel system.TIP:Use of Fuel Med RX eliminates the need to drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha Boat Dealer or other qualified mechanic if the fuel system is to be drained instead.LubricationIt is advisable to take the boat to a Yamaha Boat Dealer to have the engine fogged for long-term storage.Grease pointsTo keep moving parts sliding or rotating smoothly, coat them with water-resistant grease.● Throttle cableGrease the throttle-cable inner wires at the pulley wheel of the APS.Care and storageRecommended water-resistant grease: YAMALUBE MARINE GREASE or Yamaha Grease A● Steeringcableballjointsandinnerwire Grease the steering cable and shift cable ball joints at the jet thrust nozzle.

Be care- ful when reaching into jet pump area.If weeds or debris get caught in the intake or impeller, cavitation can occur, and though the engine speed rises, forward thrust will de- crease. If this condition is allowed to continue, jet pump damage can occur and the engine may overheat and seize.

NOTICE: Do not turn the main switch key for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not start in 5 seconds, release the main switch key and try again after 15 seconds. Continuous cranking for more than 5 seconds will discharge the battery and the engine will not start. The starter motor may also be damaged if it is engaged con- tinuously for more than 5 seconds.Fuse replacementDo not use fuses of a higher amperage than recommended.

A good rule of thumb is a tow rope which is three times the combined length of the towing boat and the boat.Tow the boat using the bow eye only. Tow the boat at a no-wake speed. NOTICE: Do not tow the boat at speed fast enough to leave a wake (8 km/h, 5 mph).
