2023 Yamaha Marine F225 Base

2023 Yamaha Marine F225

Yamaha's proven performer, the 4.2-litre V6, now has next-level convenience and control. The new F225 Offshore outboard combines a high-performance, big block V6 featuring outstanding power and fuel efficiency with Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust and the availability of Yamaha-exclusive bolt-on Digital Electric Steering.

Crafted For Your Next Water Adventure

The latest boat steering technology provides smooth, fast steering and, unlike some conventional steering systems, draws battery amperage only when actively in use.

Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust keeps exhaust bubbles above the anti-ventilation plate and out of the propeller below 2500 rpm when in reverse. This means the prop bites only clean water, resulting in outstanding reverse thrust and control to back down on fish. It’s especially effective when combined with the fast precision of Digital Electric Steering and Helm Master EX Full Manoeuvrability, which is helpful around docks and confined spaces.

Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ function allows complete tilt up from any position with a simple double push of the “UP” trim/tilt button, or full tilt down (until trim ram contact) by the same double push of the “DOWN” trim/tilt button. There’s also a new built-in integrated tilt limiter to help prevent inadvertent damage. Plus, built-in DES models tilt higher out of the water than previous models, which helps lessen the potential for corrosion.

Features may include:

• DEC models can be equipped with the new bolt-on Helm Master® EX Digital Electric Steering. The result is significantly easier rigging and an uncluttered bilge - with no steering pumps, hoses, hydraulic lines or connections, no bleeding procedure, less complexity and straightforward serviceability. Both use the latest in boat steering technology to provide smooth, fast steering and, unlike some conventional steering systems, draw battery amperage only when actively in use.

• Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust (TERE) keeps exhaust bubbles above the anti-ventilation plate and out of the propeller below 2500 rpm when in reverse. This means the prop bites only clean water, resulting in outstanding reverse thrust and control to back down on fish. It’s especially effective when combined with the fast precision of Digital Electric Steering and the Helm Master EX Full Manoeuvrability joystick – very helpful around docks and confined spaces.

• The new Helm Master EX DEC control brings modern amenities like speed control, trim assist and station selection to all DEC installations, in addition to useful convenience features like single-lever operation and centre engine only to multi-engine DEC applications.

• Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ function allows complete tilt up from any position with a simple double-push of the “UP” trim/tilt button, or full tilt down (until trim ram contact) by the same double push of the “DOWN” trim/tilt button. For safety, a warning horn will sound just before and during these operations. Movement and the horn can be stopped anywhere in between by pressing the tilt button again.
