Features & benefits
Improved Response
Prime Start
Exclusive to Yamaha, PrimeStart™ makes starting as easy as starting a car.
Automatically controls the ‘warming up’ process.
Eliminates the need for a choke or revving in neutral for cold starts.
Optimum Power
Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection
Working in unison with multiple sensors and the electonic control unit, the Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system injects the right air - fuel mixture at the optimum timing.
Delivers maximum engine performance and quick engine starts.
Charging Power
Alternator
The 12 Volt 16 Amp high-output alternator ensures that power is always available to start the engine, even after long periods of idling.
Provides sufficient power to run an array of electronic devices.
More Control
Dual Thrust Propeller
The big-diameter, low-pitched, dual thrust propeller delivers instant power by redirecting exhaust gases away from the propeller.
This reduces reverse ventilation and generates more power to the water to push bigger loads in both directions.
Increased Grunt
Higher Gear Ratio
The higher gear ratio of 2.33:1 can operate a large diameter propeller, allowing the outboard to push greater volumes of water, for improved thrust and better performance.
The gears are specially hardened to withstand the toughest working conditions, for long-term durability.
Easy Flushing
Fresh Water Flushing Device
Simply connect a garden hose to the outboard's input port to flush out salt and debris without starting the engine.
This helps prevent corrosion, extends the life of the outboard and keeps things nice and quiet for your neighbours.
Precise Control
Variable Trolling Control
Yamaha’s variable trolling control lets the skipper adjust engine idle speed in 50 RPM increments via the digital gauge.
This allows you to set a precise trolling speed for better lure presentation when targeting different fish species.
More Convenience
Power Trim and Tilt
Power Trim and Tilt (PTT) allows for the quick and easy tilting up and down of the engine and fine trim adjustment, for a more enjoyable boating experience.
Information Management
Digital Gauges & Displays
This engine is compatible with Yamaha's complete line-up of digital gauges and advanced touchscreen displays.
Easy to read, simple to use and providing fingertip access for all of your engine’s vital functions and statistics.
Quieter Operation
Shift Dampner System (SDS) Props
Yamaha’s patented Shift Dampener System (SDS) reduces the typical gear-shift ‘clunk’ by using a splined rubber hub to absorb noise and vibration.
This feature delivers smoother and quieter shifting for a 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.
