Features & benefits
Power-to-Weight
Plasma Fusion Cylinders
The plasma fusion process creates a cylinder wall 60% harder than steel, eliminating the need for steel sleeves.
This cuts weight, boosts fuel efficiency, and increases engine capacity for a better power-to-weight performance.
Improved Manoeurvrabiilty
Thurst Enhancing Reverse Exhaust
By redirecting exhaust bubbles away from the prop when under 2500 rpm, the cleaner water allows for better prop grip and improved thrust.
Ideal for manoeuvring around marinas, docks, structures or reversing onto your catch.
Maximum Performance
Enhanced Lower Unit
The oversized, hydrodynamic gear case improves top speed and turning stability.
Marine-grade stainless steel components and hardened gears are built to withstand extreme loads and corrosive environments.
Extreme Power
Direct Fuel Injection
The industry's first four-stroke outboard with direct fuel injection.
A three-stage pump sprays fuel at high pressure into the combustion chamber, delivering better fuel burn, more power and improved efficiency.
Advanced Charging
Phase Angle Control Charging
This three-phase system delivers up to 96 net amps at low RPM to power high-demand devices like gyro stabilisers, air conditioning and sound systems, and can be stacked for up to 480 net amps in quad setups.
Safety First
Prop Warning Light
This optional feature is exclusive to Helm Master EX joystick system.
Mounted directly in the rear apron of the outboard, the light provides a visual safety warning when a Helm Master EX SetPoint mode is active.
Advanced Steering
Built-in Digital Electric Steering
This advanced ‘steer-by-wire’ digital electric steering system is smooth, smart and responsive.
Its compact design creates a cleaner engine well, is maintenance-free and fully compatible with Yamaha's Helm Master EX Autopilot and Joystick system.
One Touch Tilting
Total Tilt with Limiter
Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ function enables full tilt up or down of the outboard with a simple double-press of the tilt button, and includes a built-in limiter which protects and stops the engine from tilting too far.
Cutting-Edge Control
Helm Master EX Compatibility
This industry-leading boat control technology combines joystick and autopilot for easier navigation and superior control when fishing or maneuvering around docks and structures.
Available in single and quint outboard set-ups
Effortless Boating
Fully Integrated Power System
Combining integrated 'steer-by-wire' digital electric steering, 'drive-by-wire' digital electronic throttle controls and premium full-feature touchscreen display for an effortless and more enjoyable boating experience.
Yamaha Advantage
Built tough.
Legendary Reliability
Smooth & Whisper Quiet
Shift dampening props, labyrinth exhaust systems, water-sealed outer shaft walls and noise-suppressing cowlings are just some of the technologies that help Yamaha outboards achieve such smooth and whisper quiet operation.
Fuel Efficiency
Yamaha’s Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), vapor management and low-emission technologies are just some of the reasons why Yamaha outboards deliver excellent fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Four-stroke Advantage
Utilising advanced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and engine management technologies, Yamaha four-stroke outboards are extremely powerful, smart, efficient and environmentally friendly.
2+2 Year Warranty
Yamaha outboards are covered under a two-year Manufacturer’s warranty, plus an extra two-years Extended Warranty for Customers who complete their scheduled services with an Authorised Yamaha Outboard Dealer. VMAX V6 models receive a two-year, plus one-year extended warranty.
Yamaha Built Componentry
We build our own gauges, throttles, props and other rigging componentry, to deliver a completely integrated and seamless engine ecosystem for superior outboard performance.
Japanese Quality
Uncompromising attention to detail, precision engineering and a continuous improvement philosophy make Japanese-made Yamaha outboards renowned for their exceptional quality, durability and performance.
Legendary Reliability
There’s a reason more Australian boaters choose Yamaha outboards. Yamaha has earned a reputation for building the world’s most reliable outboards, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time on the water.
