What do I need to know when selecting a propeller, and how can Yamaha help? When looking at my Yamaha propeller, I noticed two numbers and a letter stamped into the side. What do they mean? The numbers represent the pitch size and the letter is a code that represents the propeller series. The letter code identifies to your dealer what range of outboard motor the propeller is designed to fit.
Below is a diagram showing where you may find this information; locations can differ from prop to prop. Can I use fuel with a higher percentage of ethanol, such as E15 or E85? No, E15 or E85 should not be run in any Yamaha Outboard. Why do boats seem to have more issues attributed to E10 fuel than cars? Major differences are: Modern automotive fuel systems fuel filler, fuel tank, distribution lines and engine components are closed or non-vented. Once the fuel is pumped into the tank, there is very little circulation of outside air containing moisture into the fuel system.
Boats are operated and often stored in a very wet environment increasing the risk of water directly entering the fuel system. Boats have vented fuel systems which allow moisture laden air to circulate into the fuel tank as the fuel is drawn out of the tank and as the fuel expands and n wcontracts during heating and cooling cycles of the outside air. Automotive fuel tanks are typically much smaller than boat fuel tanks and are refilled more frequently. A full tank of fuel in a car or truck, typically 20 - 40 gals, may be used and refilled every week or two.
Some boats use fiberglass fuel tanks. Polyester resins can be dissolved by ethanol. The Tilt Support Lever is to be used only for storage purposes. Yamaha offers Trailering Support as an accessory for transporting, visit your local Yamaha dealer for more information. The total hours of operation for both style tachometers cannot be reset. The operational hours on the Multifunction Tachometer are measured when the engine is running. Both tachometers have a "trip meter" function that can be reset.

That means increased reliability, greater corrosion resistance, and maximum hours of trouble-free boating. Please call us toll-free at What if I have lost my keys to my Yamaha Outboard?

What is my warranty on Genuine Yamaha parts and accessories?
