    Yamaha F60TLRH 2009 Model - Doesn’t Start on 1st Turn of Ignition

    My Yamaha F60 on a 820 Sunchaser Pontoon Boat has relatively low hours and it runs beautifully but it doesn’t start on the first or even second turn of the ignition but almost always fire on the third turn. It just doesn’t seem like it is getting fuel. This isn’t critical but somewhat annoying...

    60 HP Yamaha 4 Stroke - No Power to Start or Tilt Engine

    Turn the key this morning and nothing, not a sound. Couldn’t tilt motor either. Checked battery terminals, then switched out battery and same result. Checked all 3 fuses and they are good. Engine had been running perfectly this last 3 weeks. Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?

    2009 Yamaha F60 4 Stroke Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

    It has been suggested elsewhere that the below noted problems are possibly caused by a sticking IAC Valve on my Yamaha F60 4 stroke outboard. Any opinions here on that recommendation? Is it fairly straightforward to remove the IAC Valve and presumably spray it with carb cleaner or throttle...

    2009 Yamaha F60 4 Stroke Startup Issues

    The last two cold starts the engine fired up on first turn of the key but immediately went into higher rpm mode, so much so that it gives a unfriendly noise when shifted into gear due to high idle speed. The first trip started out okay but then tach RPMs started jumping around and eventually...

    Yamaha F60 4 Stroke Very Hard to Start after 10 Minute Run

    My 2009 Yamaha F60 4 stroke (very low hours) on a 20' SunChaser pontoon starts easily when cold but when I take a 10 minute run to Marina and turn it off to load passengers, etc. it is extremely hard to restart. Yesterday it took me 15 tries and it barely started. If I park it and go into city...

    F60 Alarm

    Does the alarm sound when engine is in Neutral? My F60 had an alarm sound today when I shifted into Neutral. I have read elsewhere that an audible alarm in Neutral is Water Fuel sensor which frequently malfunctions. Some suggest disconnecting it or replace. I just cleaned both the Water Fuel...

    2009 Yamaha 60 HP (F60TLRH) sometimes Surges or Revs Up at Very Slow Docking Speed

    We just purchased a Sunchaser 820 Pontoon Boat with a Yamaha 60 HP 4 stroke. 6 years old but very little use, under 10 hours. Engine starts and runs beautifully except that on 3 occasions in the last week when I was doing very low speed docking and I slightly adjusted the throttle the engine...
