2010 New Yamaha Outboards
The Game Has Changed!
Yamaha Unveils in USA The Most Extensive New Product Launch in History!
This is the most extensive new product launch in the history of Yamaha Marine, topped by the new VMax SHO series of four-stroke 250 hp, 225 hp and 200 hp V6 outboards. Designed specifically for bass boats and multi-species fishing rigs, the F250D, F225D and F200D respectively weigh 17kg less than Yamaha’s previous VMax two-strokes while delivering 12 percent better fuel economy, instantaneous throttle response, extraordinary hole shot, improved top speed and best-in-class acceleration. All three feature 20-inch shafts and a 4.2L, 24-valve, DOHC 60-degree V6 powerhead with Yamaha’s unique long intake manifold, VCT and in-bank exhaust system. A specially developed high performance lower unit offers reduced drag and improved hydrodynamics.
Yamaha’s new F4 four-horsepower and F6 six-horsepower portables incorporate a new oil leak prevention system that allows the engines to be laid on their side without leakage, facilitating storage. The new F6 is a full 11 kg lighter than the previous model, and roughly the same weight as Yamaha’s previous carbureted two-stroke six.
Yamaha announced several additional new products, including new propellers, rigging controls, digital displays and a new anti-theft technology called Yamaha Customer Onboard Protection (YCOP).

Also new for 2010 is a new 70 horsepower four-stroke that is said to be lighter than any competitive four-stroke or new-technology two-stroke 70 from any manufacturer, and a full 50 kg lighter than Yamaha’s previous F75 four-stroke. The four cylinder, SOHC design uses 16 valves and a unique anti-knock sensor for more precise control of engine timing. Featuring the lightest weight and highest horsepower-per-liter-of-displacement in the 70 horsepower class, the F70 works with Yamaha’s available multifunction tiller handle and Command Link System for precise trolling speed control.
The Next Generation of Offshore Power: Yamaha’s New V6 Four-Strokes
Yamaha also announced a new 300 horsepower V6 four-stroke that is 112 kg lighter than the company’s existing F300 V8 four-stroke. Also built on a 4.2L V6 block, the new F300 offers improved top speed and fuel efficiency, along with improved overall operations thanks to an innovative shift dampening system that eliminates the traditional ‘clunk’ felt when shifting in and out of gear. Yamaha’s new offshore V6 four-strokes represent a new generation of offshore outboards designed to carry on Yamaha’s reputation for reliability, offering class-leading performance, the latest in innovation and technology. It also has everything else it takes to satisfy offshore fisherman and boaters. These new outboards are best-in-class in many measures.
The naturally-aspirated, big-bore VMAX SHO outboards feature the outboard industry’s first-ever advanced plasma fused sleeveless cylinders. Initially used in automotive and aerospace applications, plasma fused sleeveless cylinders allow a larger bore in a given engine block, delivering more power and improved cooling. All three engines meet CARB 2010 EPA exhaust emission standards and achieve a 3-Star rating in CARB 2008 exhaust emission regulations.
Awesome - but what does it mean in plain English? These engines have tremendous power. Hole shot from the 250 on a 20-foot Skeeter bass boat is all of about 2.5 seconds, regardless of what you do with the trim switch. And the mid-range torque is unbelievable. You're cruising along at 50 mph ... hit the gas, and the boat takes off like it got shot in the rear end. You're pinned to your seat. And your smile is growing by the second.
