TIP
The significant wave height is the mean
height of the highest one-third of the waves,
which approximately corresponds to the
wave height estimated by an experienced
observer. However, some waves will be dou-
ble this height.

Safety information
13
Scan carefully for swimmers and stay away
from swimming areas. Swimmers are hard
to see and you could accidentally hit some-
one in the water.
Avoid being hit by another boat. You
should always take the responsibility to
watch for traffic; other boaters may not be
watching for you. If they do not see you, or
if you maneuver more quickly than other
boaters expect, you risk a collision.
Maintain a safe distance from other boats
and watercraft, and also watch for ski
ropes or fishing lines. Obey the “Safe boat-
ing rules” and be sure to check behind you
before making a turn or slowing down. (See
“Safe boating rules” on page 17.)
EJU30841
Recommended equipment
The following items should be carried on
board your watercraft:
Sound-signaling device
You should carry a whistle or other sound-
signaling device that can be used to signal
other boats.
Visual distress signals
It is recommended that a pyrotechnic de-
vice, which is approved by the appropriate
authorities, be stored in a waterproof con-
tainer on your watercraft. A mirror can also
be used as an emergency signal. Contact a
Yamaha dealer for more information.
Watch
A watch is helpful so you will know how
long you have been operating the water-
craft.
Towline
A towline can be used to tow a disabled
watercraft in an emergency.

EJU42474
Hazard information
Never start the engine or let it run for any
length of time in an enclosed area. Exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, a color-
less, odorless gas that may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short
time. Always operate the watercraft in an
open area.
Do not touch the hot muffler or engine dur-
ing or immediately after engine operation;
they can cause serious burns.
Do not place magnets or objects with a
strong magnetic force near the throttle le-
ver or RiDE lever. The electronic throttle
mechanism of the levers can be adversely
affected, which could cause loss of control.
In addition, do not place objects suscepti-
ble to magnetic forces (i.e., credit cards,
watches, etc.) close to the throttle lever or
RiDE lever.
EJU42415
Watercraft characteristics
Jet thrust turns the watercraft. Releasing
the throttle lever completely produces only
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rapidly
decreasing ability to steer without throttle.
This model is equipped with the Yamaha
Engine Management System (YEMS) that
includes an off-throttle steering (OTS) sys-
tem. 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 sharp-
ly if you apply throttle while turning the han-
dlebars.
The OTS system does not function below
planing speeds or when the engine is off.
Once the engine slows down, the water-
craft will no longer turn in response to han-
dlebar input until you apply throttle again or
you reach trolling speed.
Practice turning in an open area without
obstacles until you have a good feel for this
maneuver.
This watercraft is water-jet propelled. The
jet pump is directly connected to the en-
gine. This means that jet thrust will produce
some movement whenever the engine is
running and the “F” (forward) or “R” (re-
verse) shift indicator is displayed. When the
“N” (neutral) shift indicator is displayed, the
forward and reverse thrust are balanced to
help keep the watercraft from moving in ei-
ther direction, although some movement
may occur.

Wakeboarding and water-skiing
You can use the watercraft for wakeboarding
or water-skiing if it has the seating capacity to
carry the operator, a rearward-facing spotter,
and the wakeboarder or water-skier when he
or she is not being pulled.
The watercraft must also have a cleat de-
signed to pull a ski rope; do not attach the
rope to any other location.
It is the watercraft operator’s responsibility to
be alert to the safety of the wakeboarder or
water-skier and others. Know and follow all
local regulations in effect for the waters in
which you will be operating.
The operator should be comfortable carrying
passengers before attempting to pull a wake-
boarder or water-skier.
The following are some important consider-
ations for minimizing risks while pulling a
wakeboarder or water-skier.
The wakeboarder or water-skier should
wear an approved PFD, preferably a bright-
ly colored one so boat operators can see
the person being pulled.
The wakeboarder or water-skier should
wear protective clothing. Severe internal in-
juries can occur if water is forced into body
cavities as a result of falling into the water. Normal swimwear does not adequately
protect against forceful water entry into the
rectum or vagina. The person being pulled
should wear a wetsuit bottom or clothing
that provides equivalent protection.
A second person should be on board as a
spotter to watch the wakeboarder or wa-
ter-skier; in many places it is required by
law. Let the person being pulled direct the
operator’s control of speed and direction
with hand signals.
The spotter should sit astride the rear of the
seat and hold onto the handgrip with both
feet firmly on the floor of the footwell for
proper balance while facing to the rear to
watch the wakeboarder’s or water-skier’s
hand signals and condition.
Your control while pulling a wakeboarder or
water-skier is affected by the wakeboard-

Enjoy your watercraft responsibly
You share the areas you enjoy when riding
your watercraft with others and with nature.
So your enjoyment includes a responsibility
to treat these other people, and the lands,
waters, and wildlife with respect and courte-
sy.
Whenever and wherever you ride, think of
yourself as the guest of those around you.
Remember, for example, that the sound of
your watercraft may be music to you, but it
could be just noise to others. And the exciting
splash of your wake can make waves others
won’t enjoy.
Avoid riding close to shoreline homes and
waterfowl nesting areas or other wildlife ar-
eas, and keep a respectful distance from fish-
ermen, other boats, swimmers, and
populated beaches. When travel in areas like
these is unavoidable, ride slowly and obey all
laws.
Proper maintenance is necessary to ensure
that the exhaust emission and sound levels of
your watercraft will continue to be within reg-
ulated limits. You have the responsibility to
make sure that the recommended mainte-
nance in this owner’s/operator’s manual is
carried out.
Remember, pollution can be harmful to the
environment. Do not refuel or add oil where a
spill could cause damage to nature. Remove
your watercraft from the water and move it
away from the shoreline before refueling. Dis-
pose of water and any fuel and oil residue in
the engine compartment according to local
regulations. And keep your surroundings
pleasant for the people and wildlife that share
the waterways: don’t litter. When you ride responsibly, with respect and
courtesy for others, you help ensure that our
waterways stay open for the enjoyment of a
variety of recreational opportunities.

Control function operation
26
The throttle lever returns automatically to its
fully closed (idle) position when released.
EJU43342RiDE lever
When the RiDE lever is squeezed, the reverse
gate lowers and the watercraft starts moving
in reverse. If the watercraft is moving forward,
the watercraft gradually slows down until it
stops, and then the watercraft starts moving
in reverse.
When the RiDE lever is released, it automati-
cally returns to its fully closed (idle) position
and the reverse gate moves to the neutral po-
sition.
EJU31262Steering system
By turning the handlebars in the direction you
wish to travel, the angle of the jet thrust noz-
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.
EJU31294Adjustable tilt steering system
The position of the handlebars can be adjust-
ed back and forth by operating the tilt lever.
To adjust the handlebar position:
(1) Pull the tilt lever up to disengage the han-
dlebar lock, and then move the handle-
bars back or forth to the desired position.
WARNING! Never pull the tilt lever dur- ing operation, otherwise the handle-
