(2) Remove any weeds or debris from
around the jet intake, drive shaft, impel-
ler, jet pump housing, and jet thrust noz-
zle.
If debris is difficult to remove, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
EJU34642Jumping the battery
If the watercraft battery has run down, the en-
gine can be started using a 12-volt booster
battery and jumper cables.
EJU34654Connecting the jumper cables
WARNING
EWJ01251
To avoid battery explosion and serious
damage to the electrical system:
Do not reverse the polarity of the jumper
cables when connecting to the batter-
ies.
Do not connect the negative (–) jumper
cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
watercraft battery.
Do not touch the positive (+) jumper ca-
ble to the negative (–) jumper cable.
(1) Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) battery terminals of both
batteries.
(2) Connect one end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to the negative (–) battery
terminal of the booster battery.(3) Connect the other end of the negative (–)
jumper cable to an unpainted bolt on the
cylinder head.
(4) Start the engine, and then disconnect the
jumper cables by reversing the steps
above. (See page 19 for information on
starting the engine.)
EJU34676Replacing the fuse
If the fuse is blown, replace it with the proper
fuse.
To replace the fuse:
(1) Remove the hood. (See page 23 for hood
removal and installation procedures.)
(2) Loosen the cap and remove it.
(3) Pull out the red lead to pull out the fuse
holder from the electrical box.

(4) Open the fuse holder and replace the
fuse with one of the correct amperage.
WARNING! Do not use fuses of a dif-
ferent amperage than recommended.
Substitution with a fuse that has an
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and possi-
ble fire.
[EWJ00803]
(5) Insert the fuse holder into the electrical
box.
(6) Securely install the cap by tightening it
until it stops.
(7) Securely install the hood in its original
position.
EJU34705Towing the watercraft
WARNING
EWJ00812
The operator of the towing boat must
keep speed to a minimum and avoid
traffic or obstacles which could be a
hazard to the operator on the water-
craft.
The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down.
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
To tow the watercraft:
Use a towline that is three times the com-
bined length of the towing boat and the wa-
tercraft.
(1) Securely attach the towline to the bow
rope hole of the watercraft being towed.
(2) Ride the watercraft with your body
weight supported on the riding tray. Hold
on to the handlebars in order to balance
the watercraft and keep the bow up out
of the water. NOTICE: The bow must be
kept up out of the water during tow-
ing, otherwise water could flood the
engine compartment or water could
flow back into the engine, causing se-
vere engine damage.
[ECJ01331]
Tow the watercraft at 8 km/h (5 mph) or less.
NOTICE: Tow the watercraft at 8 km/h (5
mph) or less, otherwise water could flood
the engine compartment or water could
flow back into the engine, causing severe
engine damage.
