All-New Yamaha Offshore Outboards:

The next generation of power and performance

We are very proud to introduce you to a brand new generation of purpose built, V6 offshore outboards. Literally all-new from prop to cowl, the F300, F250 and F225 are the lightest, fastest and most fuel efficient in their class.

The All-New F70:

Mid-range outboard boasts big-league technology, light weight and fuel efficiency

Welcome to a new addition of Yamaha’s already full stable of outboard motors: the F70. Using advanced technologies and materials, this mid-range outboard weighs only 260 lbs. (109 lbs. lighter than Yamaha’s
four-stroke F75) and pumps out the best horsepower-per-litre in its class.

A GAME CHANGER:

February 2010

New Apex features an industry first. We love to lead.

After two spectacular product launches last year, including the revolutionary 2010 YZ450F with its reversed, rearward slanted engine, and the VMAX SHO high-performance outboard, the first ever four-stroke capable of outclassing two-strokes in every category, we are now offering snow-goers a radical change.

THE GAME HAS CHANGED

November 2009

All-new four-stroke V6 VMAX SHO and truly portable F6 and F4

They said it couldn’t be done. No way could a four-stroke out run a two-stroke. Even our sponsored pro fishermen, like Dave Mercer, said "They're too slow, too heavy…."
