Not sure if anyone has stumbled across this little tidbit, but you can actually get all of the service manuals through this site for free.
-Find your boat on the main page
-Identify the publication # (Ie, 2015 AR210 = LIT-18616-03-39 )
-Either google the LIT number and it will take you direct to the pub.. .or... build the URL like this:
https://www.yamahapubs.com/ebook/LIT-18616-03-39/LIT-18616-03-39.html#p=1 (substitute your LIT pub # for the 2 spots in the URL).

You're welcome.

How do you know what LIT you need?

 

[LeeFlan7]

Go to www.yamahapubs.com and simply put in your year and model...they'll be a list you can simply copy and paste

 

[LeeFlan7]

The question is....how do I download it?

pay for it.

 

[LeeFlan7]

pay for it.

That seems a little extreme!

 

[Maccam26]

I snipped images of every « freely displayed » page into a word document and converted to pdf for my own personal consumption offline (not to distribute)

 

[LeeFlan7]

Great idea @Maccam26

Great idea @Maccam26

Thank you @ifly4fun Was trying to locate the owner’s manual for a 2019 242X E the same way you suggested but I keep getting an error. And the google route takes to the wrong pdf. Any suggestion on how to get an electronic version of the owner‘s manual?

Try this 242XE

Edit: I see you're looking for owners, not service - its on a different site, these are free: YAMAHA LIT-18626-12-19

 

[ZGhost]

Try this 242XE

I was looking for the owners manual not the service manual. Thanks though for the quick reply @ifly4fun.

with little more research, I found it: 2019 242XE Owners Manual

Does not seem to work for the 2020 195S Owners Manual- LIT-18626-12-68

 

[ZGhost]

@gwrace1 Try this: YAMAHA BOATS OWNER'S MANUALS

 

[ifly4fun]

This trick is for the service manuals, the owners manuals are freely available on Yamahas web site
