F150
Yamaha’s popular and proven range of F150 Digital and Mechanical Control outboards now feature a newly designed look and integrated steering, taking these engines to the next level when it comes to power, reliability and control.
Boat owners can now choose from Integrated Hydraulic Steering or Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Steering, with both systems housed in a neat, sealed cylinder unit, which is built into the transom bracket of the engine, rather than being a third-party bolt-on component. This results in a simple and clean rigging set-up, and an uncluttered bilge and transom area, while exposing less components to the elements for improved long-term durability and reliability.
The Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Steering models are fully compatible with Yamaha’s exclusive Helm Master EX Autopilot and Joystick system, a must have system for serious fishermen and skippers who demand ultimate boat control.
This new range of four-cylinder integrated steering models are ideal for all applications, including new boat packages, existing boat repowers and multi engine set-ups.
Available in signature Yamaha grey and pearlescent white, the modernised F150 outboards bring a new level of delight to boating.
Technical Specification
Yamaha Outboard Tech Yamaha offers a range of rigging options to suit every boat. Check out the full suite of controls, gauges, switches, props and other technologies, plus outboard performance data.
Direct Ignition The direct ignition system, with plug cap and ignition coil, provides higher reliability and increased performance.
High Output Alternator This alternator delivers more power: 50 amps at wide open throttle, producing a full 22 amps at only 600 rpm which means there is sufficient output to keep charging the battery even at low RPM.
Offset Crankshaft The crankshaft design is offset 10mm from the centre of cylinder for more efficient transfer of power to the crankshaft.
Shift Dampener System Yamaha's Shift Dampener System (SDS) propellers greatly reduce the noise associated with shifting an engine in and out of gear by absorbing the forces generated when forward and reverse gears are engaged.
Variable Trolling Control Yamaha’s variable trolling control allows the skipper to precisely adjust the engine’s idling speed from 650 to 900 RPM in 50 RPM increments. The ability to finely tune the trolling speed allows fisherman to perfect their lure presentation when chasing different species of fish.
Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Steering Fully integrated into the outboard bracket, this 'steer-by-wire' system is exceptionally smooth, responsive and feature rich, with the ability to work with Yamaha's exclusive Helm Master™ EX Autopilot and Joystick system. The streamlined and compact design provides more bilge, engine well, and transom space than conventional steering systems and because it is Yamaha engineered, delivers exceptional performance and reliability. This engine comes with an electro helm. Available on select models only.
Integrated Hydraulic Steering Featuring the same streamlined look as the Electro-Hydraulic Steering model, these models combine conventional hydraulic helm and lines with a built-in hydraulic cylinder. Simple in design yet offering all the space-saving, premium benefits of integrated steering, this system offers a fresh look and smooth, precise non-powered control. As the hydraulic lines are connected directly to the fixed bracket and steering cylinder, there is none of the usual wear and tear that is seen on traditional hydraulic systems. Hydraulic helm and lines purchased separately.
TotalTilt™ with Tilt Limiter Available on Digital Electronic Control (DEC) models, Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ feature provides faster and easier engine tilting, by completely tilting the outboard up from any position with a simple double-push of the “UP” trim/tilt button, or fully tilting the outboard down (until trim ram contact) with a double-push of the “DOWN” trim/tilt button. This system also includes a built-in tilt limiter which automatically stops the engine tilt at a predetermined set point, to prevent engine contact with other objects.
Tilt Limiter Available on Mechanical Control (MEC) outboard models, the built-in tilt limiter function automatically stops the engine tilt at a predetermined set point, preventing the outboard cowling from hitting objects such as bait boards or other parts of the boat.
New Look cowling and Colour Options The cowling has been completely redesigned for a more powerful, elegant and streamlined look. Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Steering models also offer the choice of signature Yamaha grey or pearlescent white finish, with premium looking raised chrome Yamaha graphics. Integrated Electro-Hydraulic model shown.
Helm Master® EX Control System Helm Master® EX is an industry-first fully integrated digital boat control system that delivers Autopilot and Joystick control over your boat for increased boating and fishing enjoyment. Now available for single and multiple outboard engine applications. Available with Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Steering models only.
Helm Master EX Prop Light This optional feature is available to Integrated Electro Hydraulic Steering outboard models that are matched with Yamaha's exclusive Helm Master EX joystick boat control system. The light mounts directly in the rear apron of the outboard, providing a visual warning that the boat is actively in one of the Helm Master EX SetPoint modes.
Mechanical or Digital Throttle Choose from a mechanical or Digital Electronic Control (DEC) 'drive-by-wire' throttle option. The DEC offers a simple, smoother and more precise operating experience.
