NOTE:
q
The optimum mounting height of the out-
board motor is affected by the boat/motor
combination and the desired use. Test runs
at different heights can help determine the
optimum mounting height. Consult your
Yamaha dealer or boat manufacturer for
further information on determining the prop-
er mounting height.

To run your boat at optimum efficiency, the
water resistance (drag) of the boat and out-
board motor must be made as little as possi-
ble. The mounting height of the outboard
motor greatly affects the water resistance. If
the mounting height is too high, cavitation
tends to occur, thus reducing the propulsion;
and if the propeller tips cut the air, the engine
Breaking in engine
Your new engine requires a period of break-in
to allow mating surfaces of moving parts to
wear in evenly. Correct break-in will help en-
sure proper performance and longer engine
life.

For the first hour of operation:
Run the engine at 2000 r/min or at ap-
proximately half throttle.
For the second hour of operation:
Run the engine at 3000 r/min or at ap-
proximately three-quarter throttle.
For the next eight hours of operation:
Avoid continuous operation at full throttle
for more than five minutes at a time.
After the first 10 hours:
