Model feature Model comparison table 400- and 450-horsepower 4-stroke models have been newly added to the Yamaha outboard motor lineup. The engine output powers of 400- and 450-horsepower models are controlled by their respective ECMs. Electricity generating capacity of 450-horsepower model is different from that of 400-horse- power model.
Power unit Outline Electronically controlled, direct injection V8 engine, the flagship of the Yamaha Outboard Motor model line, is installed. An even higher output engine has been achieved through the optimization of intake/ exhaust system structure, while the design features of F375/F425 (XF375/XF425) to obtain high out-...
Power unit Intake silencer Newly designed intake silencer “1” is employed. The space provided inside the silencer absorbs the intake air noise and the mechanical noise of the engine. This feature has greatly improved the quiet performance while the engine is in operation compared to F375/F425 (XF375/F425). Shift-shock reduction The gearshift shock has been reduced by the improved engine control program for the gearshift op- eration.
Power unit Sleeveless cylinder The newly designed cylinder block has adopted spray-coated cylinders instead of sleeved cylinders. By using spray-coated cylinders, the weight of the cylinder block is decreased, cooling performance is increased, and so on. The inner walls of the cylinders are spray-coated using metal powder. Heat exhaust fan and heat vent The flywheel is equipped with a heat exhaust fan and the top cowling is equipped with a heat vent.
Power unit Direct fuel injection The direct injection pumps “1” further increase the pressure of the fuel from the fuel tank, low-pressure fuel pump, and vapor separator. The fuel pressure sensors (fuel rails) “2” are used to detect the fuel pressure in the fuel rails, and the injector drivers operate the direct injection pumps and fuel injectors based on information from the ECM to inject the optimum amount of fuel at the optimum timing.
Power unit Crankshaft The size of the journals is the same as for the F300B (F300CA) and the amount of overlap between the crankpins has been increased to ensure sufficient durability for offshore use. In addition, by increasing the surface area of the thrust bearings and reducing the friction by adding a surface treatment to the portion that engages the drive shaft splines, the durability in the thrust direc- tion is increased.
Power unit Camshaft The timing belt is located on the top of the engine and the timing chains and VCT assemblies are lo- cated at the bottom of the engine for increased engine reliability. In addition, the overall width of the outboard motor is compact and the distance between outboard motors for multiple engine applica- tions is approximately the same as for previous models.
Power unit Cowlings The cowling lock levers, which were located on the rear of the outboard motor for previous models, have been moved closer to the top of the top cowling and the rear portion of the top cowling is shorter. As a result, it is easier to access the cowling lock levers from the boat and remove and install the top cowling.
Bracket unit Bracket unit Outline The upper mounts use outward-positioned, vibration-isolation upper mounts. The swivel bracket is equipped with the SBW (Steer by Wire) system for easier operation at low to high speeds as well as easier rigging. The PTT-related parts have also been newly designed for increased durability as well as easier remov- al and installation of the PTT unit itself.
Bracket unit Upper mount This model is the first Yamaha large outboard motor to use a layout with the vibration-isolation upper mounts positioned on the outside of the upper case. The installation location of the upper mounts has been changed from being secured inside the exhaust guide to being secured to the left and right sides of the upper case.
Bracket unit SBW (Steer by Wire) system Outline The steering system has been changed from a mechanical system that was used for previous models to an electronically controlled power-operated steering system. Because the steering system has been designed with a sufficient margin for use with large boats, the system is responsive and provides a stable feeling when steering the boat.
Bracket unit System diagram When the signals from the steering wheel and joystick are input into the steering control unit (SCU), the SCU uses that information together with the information from other sensors to calculate the opti- mal steering control and operates the steering motor to match the intended steering angle of the op- erator.

Bracket unit Structure The steering actuator “1” is an integrated unit with a built-in steering control unit (SCU) and a built-in steering motor and cannot be disassembled. The steering motor, which has an integrated pipe, is lo- cated inside the actuator on one end and a shaft runs through the center of that pipe. The pipe is sup- ported by a bearing on the other end.
Bracket unit Operation When power is supplied to the steering motor inside the steering actuator “1”, the pipe integrated with the motor turns. The rotational speed of the pipe is reduced as it is transmitted through the planetary gears to the shaft in the center of the pipe. Because both ends of the shaft are secured to the swivel bracket, the steering actuator moves 2 mm (0.08 in), which is the internal thread pitch distance, in a straight line in the shaft direction for each turn of the pipe.
Bracket unit Outboard motor manual steering method If the SBW (Steer by Wire) system does not operate due to a malfunction, the outboard motor can be steered manually. Usually, the pipe inside the steering actuator moves as it is turned by the motor force, but when the outboard motor is steered manually, the shaft is turned to move the pipe.
Bracket unit PTT unit The material of the PTT motor has been changed to plastic to increase corrosion resistance. In addi- tion, the PTT relay is a built-in component of the electrical management unit and is controlled by the microcomputer. As a result, the operation of the PTT motor can be controlled according to the trim and tilt angles.
Bracket unit PTT sensor This model is equipped with a PTT sensor that detects the trim and tilt angle of the outboard through- out the full range of movement from fully tilted down to fully tilted up. The end of the pin on the tilt rod fits into the PTT sensor that is installed to the swivel bracket.
Bracket unit PTT lead PTT lead routing has been changed to run inside the clamp bracket, compared to the routing on the outside of the clamp bracket in the previous models. The external appearance around the clamp bracket has been refined further to provide additional product value. PTT TotalTilt™...
Page 49
Bracket unit Activating and deactivating the PTT TotalTilt™ function Make sure that all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting the outboard motor up and down. Body parts can be crushed between the outboard motor and the clamp bracket when the outboard motor is trimmed or tilted.
Page 50
Bracket unit TIP: • For how to operate the trim zero set, see the owner’s manual included with the gauge. • When the PTT TotalTilt™ function is activated, the PTT buzzer will sound once. • When the PTT TotalTilt™ function is deactivated, the PTT buzzer will sound twice. Automatic tilt-up Make sure that all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting the outboard motor up and down.
Lower unit Lower unit Outline The lower case has been newly designed to increase the size of the case itself and increase the max- imum speed and stability. The oil passages inside the case have also been revised and stainless steel parts with high strength and high corrosion resistance are used.
Lower unit Lower case The lower case for this model has a new shape with low resistance. The maximum speed and stability are increased due to the newly shaped strut and skeg. In addition, by increasing the length of the anti- cavitation plate, the anti-cavitation performance of the propeller is increased.
Lower unit Gear oil changing method There are 2 methods that can be used for changing the gear oil of this model. One method, which is similar to the method for previous models, uses the oil level plug, gear oil drain bolt, and oil filler bolt of the lower case, and one method uses a pump and the hoses on the side of the engine.
Page 54
Lower unit Changing the gear oil using the hoses on the side of the engine The gear oil can be changed using the hoses that are routed from the lower unit to the port side of the engine without removing the boat from the water, such as when the boat is docked. The “AIR” hose is connected to the upper portion of the lower case and the “OIL”...
Lower unit Reverse thrust The outboard motor has a structure that discharges the exhaust gas from above the anti-cavitation plate when the remote control lever is in the R position and the engine speed is 2000 r/min or less. As a result, propeller cavitation can be prevented when the outboard motor is operating in reverse.
Lower unit Propeller (XTO-EC series) New XTO-EC series is available in addition to the existing XTO-OS series compatible with large horse- power models. XTO-EC series are high performance 3-blade stainless steel propellers having excellent anti-ventila- tion performance compared to the OS series. This allows more comfortable boat operation in the rough sea and on the heavily loaded boat.
Electrical system Electrical system Charging system (F400A/FL400A/XF400) This model is equipped with a 3-phase AC magneto type generator. In addition, because the cooling efficiency of the rectifier/regulator “1” is increased and the temperature increase is controlled by the fan “3” on top of the stator assembly “2”, the 400-horsepower models produce of up to 88 net amps per engine at 1500 r/min.
Electrical system Charging system (F450A/FL450A/XF450) Outline To help meet the extreme electrical demands of today’s larger boats, the 450-horsepower models now feature a new three-phase, simultaneous charging system that delivers more net amps and at lower r/min, where it’s needed most. Using Phase Angle Control (PAC), which adjusts the intensity of the stator’s magnetic field, the 450- horsepower models produce of up to 96 net amps per engine at idle speed.
Page 59
Electrical system Simultaneous charging Traditionally outboard engines use a dedicated isolator lead to ensure that the start and house batter- ies are separated unless manually paralleled by the captain in an emergency. This allowed simultane- ous charging of both the start and house batteries. As boat-side electrical demand grew, boat side systems such as voltage sensing relays (VSR’s) and diode-based isolator systems appeared.

Electrical system Knocking detection Although previous models were equipped with 1 knock sensor, the number of sensors for this model was increased to 2 knock sensors. Because the sensitivity for detecting knocking is increased, the minimum amount of fuel within the range that does not produce knocking can be injected to generate the maximum output.
Electronic control system Electronic control system This model uses an electronic direct injection control, digital ignition control, Digital Electronic Control, electronic shift control, ETV control, VCT control, knock control, over-revolution control, alert control, and fail-safe control. The engine ECM performs these controls based on data received from each sensor and switch. The engine ECM is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.

Fuel system High-pressure fuel pump control The vapor separator contains 2 high-pressure fuel pumps: a main pump without a check valve and a sub pump with a check valve. When the engine load is low, only the main pump operates, and when the engine load is high, the sub pump also operates.
Fuel system Vapor separator This model is equipped with a newly designed vapor separator, which has been changed to a sealed type that eliminates the structure for discharging the vapor gas. Because venturi tubes “a” were added to control the amount of vapor gas so that it does not exceed a certain level, the vapor gas can be handled inside the vapor separator.
Fuel system Fuel strainer This model is equipped with a fuel strainer “1” between the vapor separator and the direct injection pumps. The strainer prevents clogging of the filters in the direct injection pumps and fuel injectors, extending the replacement intervals for the parts. In addition, because the fuel strainer element “2” can be re- placed easily without removing the fuel hose, serviceability is improved.
Fuel system Direct injection pump Each direct injection pump “1”, which has a mechanically driven built-in plunger “2” and an electrically driven built-in solenoid “3”, pressurizes the fuel to the high pressure required for direction injection. The fuel inside the pump is sent through the mesh filter “4” and damper “5” to the solenoid chamber and plunger chamber.
Lubrication system Dual rotor oil pump The dual rotor oil pump is driven using the crankshaft gear. The pump has 2 built-in rotors and while maintaining its compact size, the flow volume has been increased from 100 L/min to 140 L/min com- pared to previous models.
Lubrication system Oil drain plug The diameter of the oil drain plug “1” has been increased, and the oil strainer “2” can be removed from and installed in the drain hole. As a result, the oil strainer can be checked and cleaned without disas- sembling the upper case.

Cooling system Dual water pump This model is equipped with a dual water pump to ensure sufficient cooling water for the higher output engine. The water pump can discharge 1.3 times the water that the pump for the F350A (F350CC) could discharge, which helps to control the increase in engine temperature when the outboard motor is operating under a high load.
Cooling system Engine anode The locations of the anodes in the engine cooling water passages have been optimized. As a result, checking the anodes at 1000 hours is no longer necessary and the anodes must be replaced only during major maintenance work. A.
Cooling system Thermostat In addition to the thermostat in each cylinder bank of the F350A (F350CC), a thermostat has been add- ed to the crankcase and cylinder block for a total of 4 thermostats. Because the cooling water passages have been divided into 2 sections that are controlled separately, the engine temperature and output are stabilized, the warming-up time is reduced, the fuel consump- tion is lower, and condensation in the lubrication system is prevented.
