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.
Information Management
Digital Gauges & Displays
- This engine is compatiable 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.
More Convenience
Power Tilt and Trim
- 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 enjoyabe boating experience.
Quiter 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.
