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, imme-
diately return to shore and have a Yamaha
dealer service the watercraft.
To switch to the voltmeter from the hour me-
ter:
Push the “VOLT/HOUR” button for at least 1

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

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 61 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
multifunction information center to stop the

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
being discharged from the port (left) cooling
water 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 103 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 digital speedometer. (To change the dis-
play units, see page 41 for digital speedome-
ter display selection procedures.)
When “km/h” are selected as the display
units of the digital speedometer, values are
shown in kilometers/liters/degrees Celsius.
When “mph” are selected as the display units
of the digital speedometer, values are shown
in miles/gallons/degrees Fahrenheit.

This indicator shows the reverse gate shift
positions: “F” (forward), “N” (neutral), and “R”(reverse). (See page 32 for shifting proce-
dures.)
