● Avoid getting water and contaminants
in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
If the recommended engine oil grades are
not available, select an alternative from the
following chart according to the average tem-
peratures in your area.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol (E10) and that containing
methanol. Ethanol can be used if the ethanol
content does not exceed 10% and the fuel
meets the minimum octane ratings. E85 is a
fuel containing 85% ethanol and must not be
used in your outboard motor. All ethanol
blends containing more than 10% ethanol
can cause fuel system damage or cause en-
gine starting and running problems. Yamaha
does not recommend gasohol containing
methanol because it can cause fuel system
damage or engine performance problems.
It is recommended that you install a water-
separating marine fuel filter assembly (10 mi-
