YAMAHA V-6 OFFSHORE OUTBOARDS
Introducing the Next Generation of Yamaha Offshore Outboards
Yamaha proudly announces the next generation of V6 Offshore four stroke outboards, the F300, F250, and F225. Purpose-
designed for offshore use, they all feature 4.2 liters of class-leading V6 displacement, yet with signifi cantly less weight than
their predecessors, thanks in part to "break-through" engineering never before used in marine engines. In addition, all models
can use Yamaha's new Command Link® Plus rigging system. Complete with Yamaha's signature four stroke convenience, and
reliability – as well as corrosion resistance – they represent the absolute leading edge of
high-performance offshore outboard technology.
Less: Lightest Weight – at 562 pounds, the F300 is 242 pounds lighter than
the V8 it replaces, while the 250hp and 225hp V6 models weigh up to 47 pounds
less than other Yamaha V6 four stroke outboards of comparable horsepower.
It is also up to 73 pounds lighter than competitive 300hp four stroke outboards.**
More: 4.2 Liters of Big-Bore V6 Displacement – using the fi rst marine
application of plasma-fused sleeveless cylinders, displacement is increased
without enlarging the outer diameter of the cylinder, resulting in an outboard
with the largest displacement in its class.
Less: Time-to-Plane (Fastest Acceleration) – the naturally aspirated big-bore
Yamaha F300 four-stroke outboard has the fastest acceleration of any 300hp
V6 four stroke currently on the market.
More: Throttle Response – instantaneous, especially in the mid-range, that
has to be felt to be believed.
More: Best-in-Class Cruise Speed – up to 19% faster than competitive 300hp
four stroke outboards at 4000 rpm.
More: Long-Range Fuel Economy – up to 17% better fuel economy at mid-range
RPM than other four stroke 300hp outboards.
More: Best-in-Class Charging Power – a powerful 70-amp alternator offers
charging output over 29% higher than its 300hp V6 four stroke competitor.
More: Control – works with Yamaha's new Command Link Plus Digital Electronic
Controls, rigging system, and hardware for the utmost in control and convenience.
More: Convenience – popular and useful features like Variable Trolling RPM
Control are standard. It can even be rigged to external NMEA-2000® compatible
displays or analog gauges.
Less: Noise and Vibration – cutting-edge Yamaha four stroke design and a new Long Span Mounting System
give you increased opportunity to quietly approach your quarry, while a new patented shift dampener propeller
hub system (SDS™) reduces the "clunk" that sometimes occurs on larger outboards when shifting into gear.
More: Reliability – designed, built and extensively tested to Yamaha's stringent standards for durability.
