be critically affected by your choice of propel-
ler, as  an  incorrect choice  could adversely
affect performance and could  also seriously
damage the  motor. Engine  speed depends
on the propeller size and boat load. If engine
speed is too high or too low for good engine
performance, this will have an adverse effect
on the engine.

CAUTION:
Use only  new clean  gasoline which  has
been stored in clean containers and is not
contaminated with  water or foreign  mat-
ter.
Yamaha outboard motors are fitted with pro-
pellers chosen to perform  well over a range
of applications, but there may be uses where
a  propeller with  a  different pitch  would  be
more  appropriate.  For a  greater  operating
load, a  smaller-pitch propeller  is more suit-
able as it  enables the correct engine  speed
to be maintained. Conversely, a  larger-pitch
propeller is more suitable for a smaller oper-
ating load.
EMU25570
Gasoline
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a min-
imum octane rating of 86 (Pump Oc-
tane Number) = (R+M)/2
Gasohol
Yamaha dealers stock a range of propellers,
and can advise you and install a propeller on
your outboard that is best suited  to your ap-
plication.
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining  ethanol and  that  containing metha-
nol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used
if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and
the  fuel   meets  minimum   octane  ratings.
Yamaha  does  not  recommended  gasohol
containing  methanol because  it  can cause
fuel system damage or  engine performance
problems.
