Yamahas New Engine Line Up

Sorry this isnt brand new news, but only a couple weeks old still.

Yamaha has a new V6 4-stroke 225-250-300 that is lighter then the current models F225-F250 and is better on fuel. These 4.2ltr engines weight in at 558lbs, and if everything is as they say, it appears these will phase out the current f200-250 series. With the 300 introduced, its going to compete with the v8-300 for sales aswell. The v8 is 5.3L though, so more less hp to displacement should give it alonger lifespan, but several hundred pounds heavier.

New Command Link color LCD multi engine/boat systems display.

New Mid range F70 model. 260lbs. That is significantly lighter then any current 2-stroke or 4-stroke in that HP range.

New security system that will lock up the engines ECM(theft deterrent) Looks like its similar to the same setup the current Yamaha wave runners use.

New 4-stroke Vmax 20"engines(200-225-250) that are lighter then the current HPDI 2-strokes, burn less fuel and get this......they are faster than the 2-stroke! Also all new gearcases.

Yamaha also is introducing a new prop hub system that eliminate the dreaded shift clunk.

New push button engine starting.

RE-introducing the previous F250 mechanical throttle and shift engine.
