IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION FOR U.S.A. AND
CANADA
Welcome to the Yamaha Family!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Yamaha marine power. Yamaha is com-
mitted to exceptional customer satisfaction, and we want your ownership experience
to be a satisfying one. Please read the following warranty information to help ensure
satisfaction with your Yamaha.
Yamaha is ready to stand behind your purchase with strong warranty coverage. To be sure
you receive all the benefits of warranty, please take the following steps:
1. Be sure your new Yamaha is registered for warranty. Your boat dealer should do this at
the time of sale. Make sure your dealer gives you a copy of the completed Yamaha reg-
istration card for your records. If you are unsure whether or not your Yamaha is regis-
tered, complete the Warranty Registration card found inside the cover of the Owners
Manual. Mail it to the distributor for the country in which you live (see step 6 for the cor-
rect address). If your Yamaha is not properly registered, a warranty repair could be
unnecessarily delayed while registration records are checked.
2. Read the Limited Warranty statement which follows these instructions. This warranty
applies to Yamaha outboard motors sold in the United States, whether purchased sepa-
rately or when supplied as original equipment by a boat builder. The terms also apply to
original equipment packages sold in Canada, with coverage provided by Yamaha Motor
Canada (see ‘‘Warranty Guide’’ for Canadian models). This warranty explains the condi-
tions of the warranty, including the obligations that your dealer and you as the owner
have under the warranty. For example, your Yamaha outboard must receive a proper
pre-delivery inspection (PDI) by the selling dealer. Failure to take this important step
could jeopardize warranty coverage!
3. If you need warranty repairs, you must take your Yamaha outboard to an authorized
Yamaha outboard dealer. Be aware that not all selling boat dealers are authorized
Yamaha dealers. Only authorized dealers have the factory training, special tools, and
Yamaha support needed to perform warranty repairs.
4. If you are away from home, or your selling dealer is not an authorized Yamaha dealer,
use the following toll-free numbers to find the nearest Yamaha dealer.
United States Dealer Locations:1-800-692-6242
Canada Dealer Locations: 1-800-267-8577
