Yamaha V-MAX SHO VF115 User Manual

Yamaha wants you to have an outstanding ownership experience. Maintenance plays a
big part in that. We’ve learned a lot about caring for outboards during our many years as
an outboard manufacturer; so here’s some knowledge and simple tips on the subject.
WHY MAINTENANCE?
Protection and peace of mind
From their painstaking design to their
meticulous construction, Yamaha outboards
are manufactured to provide you with years
of enjoyment. However, they live in one of
the harshest environments imaginable.
High load, high-RPM operation, extreme
temperatures and humidity, saltwater, sun,
even long periods of non-use can all exact
a heavy toll. And it’s not just Yamaha
outboards. All outboards face these same
challenges. Regular maintenance is important in helping your outboard meet the demands
of these challenging environments, and only you can make sure it happens.
Spending a relatively small amount of time making sure your
outboard’s in proper condition is simple to do, and:
• You’ll have more hours of trouble-free
enjoyment on the water.
• You’ll preserve your investment with a
higher resale value.
• Your boat will be ready when you are.
• It’s easier and costs less to maintain
than repair.
• Yamaha dealers stand ready to help.
