Identification numbers
Record the Primary Identification (PRI-ID)
number, Craft Identification Number (CIN),
and engine serial number in the spaces pro-
vided for assistance when ordering spare
parts from a Yamaha dealer. Also record and
keep these ID numbers in a separate place in
case your watercraft is stolen.
EJU30284Primary Identification (PRI-ID) number
The PRI-ID number is stamped on a plate at-
tached inside the engine compartment. (See
page 36 for seat removal and installation pro-
cedures and page 40 for information on the
seat storage compartment.)
MODEL:
ER1050-W (EXR)
EJU36551Craft Identification Number (CIN)
The CIN is stamped on a plate attached to
the aft deck.
EJU44440Engine serial number
The engine serial number is stamped on a
plate attached to the engine unit. (See page
36 for seat removal and installation proce-
dures and page 40 for information on the seat
storage compartment.)

zle is changed, and the direction of the water-
craft is changed accordingly.
Since the strength of the jet thrust determines
the speed and degree of a turn, throttle must
always be applied when attempting a turn,
except at trolling speed.
This model is equipped with the Yamaha En-
gine Management System (YEMS) that in-
cludes an off-throttle steering (OTS) system.
It will activate at planing speeds should you
attempt to steer the watercraft after releasing
the throttle lever. The OTS system assists in
turning by continuing to supply some thrust
while the watercraft is decelerating, but you
can turn more sharply if you apply throttle
while turning the handlebars. The OTS sys-
tem does not function below planing speeds
or when the engine is off. Once the engine
slows down, the watercraft will no longer turn
in response to handlebar input until you apply
throttle again or you reach trolling speed.EJU35975Cooling water pilot outlet
When the engine is running, some of the
cooling water that is circulated in the engine
is discharged from the cooling water pilot
outlet.
There is a cooling water pilot outlet on the
port (left) side of the watercraft. To check for
proper operation of the cooling system, make
sure that water is being discharged from the
cooling water pilot outlet. If water is not being
discharged from the outlet, stop the engine
and check the jet intake for clogging. (See
page 85 for information on the jet intake.)
TIP:
It will take about 60 seconds for the water
to reach the outlet after the engine is start-
ed.
Water discharge may not be constant
when the engine is running at idling speed.
If this occurs, apply a little throttle to make
sure that water discharges properly.
EJU40323Water separator
The water separator prevents water from en-
tering the fuel tank by collecting any water
that has entered the fuel tank breather hose if
the watercraft was capsized.
