priming, and start-in-gear prevention help make for easy, safer starts.
CONVENIENT CONTROL
Control is key with a dynamically balanced and dampened large twist-grip throttle, 180-degree steering,
and large F-N-R shift handle.
RELIABLE OPERATION
A 1.1-litre see-through fuel tank is built in with switchable access to an optional external tank for extended
range. A tilted, water-resistant fuel filler cap and built-in fuel strainer add to both the convenient operation
and reliability of these outboards.
EASY STORAGE
This Yamaha exclusive feature provides peace of mind when storing or carrying the engine to and from the
water. It allows the engine to be stored on either side or on the front grip without any fear of oil leakage,
ensuring the engine is easy to start the first time out.
SMOOTH STARTS
A small auxiliary prime pump is fitted to the fuel pipe before the carburetor in the cowling. By ensuring the
delivery of fuel to the carburetor, the engine can be started smoothly even after long-term storage.
MINIMIZING ENGINE WEAR
A pressurized oiling system minimizes engine wear for extra-long engine life.
VERSATILE PERFORMANCE
A 5-step trim adjustment couples with a 3-step Shallow Water Drive System to help make these outboards
perform in various conditions. A splined propeller shaft and an expanded selection of available propeller
sizes give you performance that's versatile and easy to handle and operate.
ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTION
Yamaha's unique YDC-30 aluminium alloy protects the engine's exterior parts, while a zinc coating, high-
quality stainless steel and 5-stage exterior coating offers long-lasting protection inside and out
