Multifunction information center
The multifunction information center displays
various watercraft information.
Multifunction information center initial op-
eration
When the multifunction information center is
activated, the analog speedometer/tachome-
ter makes one sweep, and all of the display
segments and indicator lights come on. After
2 seconds, the “WARNING” indicator light and
the warning indicators in the information dis-
play go off, and then the center starts to oper-
ate normally.
TIP:
The “UNLOCK” indicator light will go off when
the engine is started.
Multifunction information center standby
state
If the multifunction information center does
not receive any operation input within 25 sec-
onds after the engine stops, the center will
turn off and enter a standby state. When the
engine is started again, the displays return to
their state before the center turned off, and
then the center starts to operate normally.
EJU42330Analog speedometer/tachometer
The analog speedometer/tachometer has
both a speedometer function and a tachome-
ter function. By switching the meter, it can be
used as either a speedometer or a tachome-
ter.
TIP:
The analog tachometer is selected at the
Yamaha factory.
Analog tachometer
The analog tachometer shows the engine
speed.
The large outer numbers on the meter show
the engine speed × 100 rpm (r/min).
The “RPM” indicator light comes on when the
analog tachometer is selected.

To switch to the tachometer from the speed-
ometer:
Push the “SPEED/RPM” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches
to the analog tachometer function, the “RPM”
indicator light comes on.
Analog speedometer
The analog speedometer shows the water-
craft speed against water.
The small inner numbers on the meter show
the watercraft speed in kilometers per hour
“km/h” and the large outer numbers show the
speed in miles per hour “mph”.
The “SPEED” indicator light comes on when
the analog speedometer is selected.
To switch to the speedometer from the ta-
chometer:
Push the “SPEED/RPM” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated. When the meter switches
to the analog speedometer function, the
“SPEED” indicator light comes on if “km/h” are
selected as the display units. The “SPEED”
indicator light blinks three times, then comes
on, if “mph” are selected as the display units.(See page 41 for information on switching the
digital speedometer display units.)
EJU35024Information display
The information display shows watercraft op-
erating conditions.
EJU42360Digital speedometer

TIP:
The hour meter is selected at the Yamaha
factory.
Hour meter
The hour meter shows the total number of
hours that the engine has been running since
the watercraft was new.
TIP:
The elapsed time will be kept even if the bat-
tery terminals have been disconnected.
To switch to the hour meter from the voltme-
ter:
Push the “VOLT/HOUR” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated for more than 10 seconds.
The display switches to the hour meter from
the voltmeter.Voltmeter
The voltmeter shows the battery voltage.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped significant-
ly, “LO” is displayed on the voltmeter. If the
battery voltage has risen significantly, “HI” is
displayed. If “LO” or “HI” is displayed, immedi-
ately return to shore and have a Yamaha
dealer service the watercraft.
To switch to the voltmeter from the hour
meter:
Push the “VOLT/HOUR” button for at least 1
second after the multifunction information
center is activated for more than 10 seconds.
The display switches to the voltmeter from the
hour meter.

TIP:
The accuracy of the fuel level meter varies de-
pending on the operating conditions. Use this
function as a reference only.
EJU42340Fuel level warning
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 18 L (4.8 US gal, 4.0 Imp. gal), the low-
est two fuel level segments, the fuel indicator,
and the “WARNING” indicator light blink, and
the buzzer sounds intermittently.
If the fuel level warning is activated, refill the
fuel tank as soon as possible. (See page 58
for information on filling the fuel tank.)
After the fuel tank is refilled, the warning sig-
nals will be cleared when the engine is restart-
ed.
TIP:
Push any of the operation buttons for the mul-
tifunction information center to stop the buzz-
er.
EJU42270Oil pressure warning
If the oil pressure drops significantly, the oil
pressure warning indicator and the “WARN-
ING” indicator light blink, and the buzzer
sounds intermittently. At the same time, the
engine speed is limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to
shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 60 for information on checking the
engine oil level.) If the oil level is sufficient,
have a Yamaha dealer check the watercraft.
TIP:
Push any of the operation buttons for the mul-
tifunction information center to stop the buzz-
er.
EJU42370Engine overheat warning
If the engine temperature rises significantly,
the engine overheat warning indicator and the
“WARNING” indicator light blink, and the
buzzer sounds intermittently. Then, the en-
gine overheat warning indicator and the
“WARNING” indicator light stop blinking and
remain on, and the buzzer sounds continu-

ously. At the same time, the engine speed is
limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is be-
ing discharged from the port (left) cooling wa-
ter pilot outlet while the engine is running. If
there is no discharge of water, stop the en-
gine, and then check the jet intake for clog-
ging. (See page 102 for information on the jet
intake.) NOTICE: If you cannot locate and
correct the cause of the overheating, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to oper-
ate at higher speeds could result in severe
engine damage.

●The current heading of the watercraft can
be shown in degrees together with the com-
pass points.
●The accuracy of the compass and heading
varies depending on the operating condi-
tions. Use this function as a reference only.To display the heading:
(1) While pushing the “START/STOP” but-
ton, start the engine.
(2) Release the “START/STOP” button brief- ly, and then push the “START/STOP”
