about
Yamaha’s latest range of high-horsepower Digital Electronic Control (DEC) outboards offer built-in Digital Electric Steering (F250 - XT450) or Electro-Hydraulic Steering (F150 - F200) integrated within the transom bracket.
There is also the option of bolt-on Digital Electric Steering that is compatible with previous generation DEC engines.
Features
BETTER
PERFORMING
Yamaha’s digital steering system is smoother, faster and has zero lag time
In comparison to hydraulic and cable steering systems – delivering an overall more enjoyable piloting experience.
SMART
LOCK-TO-LOCK
You can set the lock-to-lock wheel rotation, via the CL5 gauge, to constant or variable, with the latter using the engines RPM to deliver finer control at high speeds and more responsive control at low speeds.
SMART STEERING FRICTION
You can adjust the steering friction for a heavier or lighter feel to suit your personal preference and the prevailing conditions.
In addition, the system also automatically adjusts the friction based on the outboards RPM, ensuring improved control at all speeds.
LESS BATTERY
POWER
Digital Steering only uses current when in operation (on demand), which means it is not constantly drawing amps like conventional power steering pumps.
This gives you more net battery power to run other electronic devices.
MORE AVAILABLE SPACE
Yamaha’s Digital Electric Steering and Electro-Hydraulic Steering systems, have no external pumps, valves or hoses, freeing up space in the bilge area at the back of the boat and upfront under the console.
QUICKER AND CHEAPER TO INSTALL
This plug-and-play system is easy and quick to install,saving on installation time and costs.
There is no need to install pumps, valves and hoses, nor the ongoing maintenance costs that come with other steering systems.
