Power & Performance

Convenience & Control

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.
Super High Output
16-Valve DOHC Engine
- The 2.8 Litre, 16-valve double overhead camshaft, In-Line 4 design is extremely powerful.
- ECU has been specially mapped to achieve maximum performance and acceleration, punchy mid-range and high top-end speed.
Quick Acceleration
Offset Crankshaft
- The 10mm Offset Crankshaft allows for larger intake volume and intake tubes.
- Boosts engine torque in the low and mid-speed ranges for quicker acceleration.
Better Charging
High Output Alternator
- With up to 50-amps, the high-output alternator delivers plenty of power to keep charging the battery even a low RPM.
- Provides plenty of power to run an array of electronic devices.
Optimum Acceleration
Variable Camshaft Timing
- Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) adjusts the camshaft timing based on engine RPM.
- Working with an electronic throttle and long intake manifold to boost low- and mid-range torque for better acceleration.
Aggressive Design
SHO Styling
- Featuring bold and aggressive styling upgrades, a redesigned cowling and eye catching rasised graphics, these engines look as impressive as they perform.

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.
