F225
Next generation features, next generation styling, original reliability.
Yamaha’s all-new, V6 Offshore series takes the proven 4.2 litre engine platform to the next level by incorporating technological advancements previously only seen on Yamaha’s flagship V8 425hp XTO.
The new F225 not only looks good with it's more aggressive styling, but comes with Yamaha's Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust system, which delivers increased prop grip and thrust for improved maneuvering in docking situations and reversing up to your next big catch.
Another cool feature is the new Total TiltTM system which allows the outboard to fully tilt up and down from any position, with a simple double push of the Up or Down Tilt buttons. This not only makes operation easier, but the new mounting bracket system allows the engine to sit higher out of the water when not in use, for improved long-term durability and protection.
When combined with Yamaha’s Helm Master EX control system, the new V6 Offshore 225 delivers a boating and fishing experience unlike any else on the water.
Technical Specification
Helm Master® EX Control System Helm Master® EX is an industry-first fully integrated digital boat control system that delivers next level control over your boat for increased boating and fishing enjoyment. Now available for single and multiple outboard engine applications.
Bolt-On Digital Electric Steering (DES) Yamaha's bolt-on Digital Electric Steering (DES) can be added to all Digital Electronic Control engines including F225, F250 and F300. Delivers a smoother, faster and more precise steering, with additional capabilities. Removes need for steering pumps, hoses, hydraulic lines and bleeding procedures, resulting in a cleaner and less cluttered bilge area.
Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust Redirects exhaust bubbles away from the prop when operating in reverse and under 2500rpm, resulting in cleaner water for greater prop grip and significantly improved thrust. This is handy for navigating around marinas and docks, reversing onto your catch and when combined with the Helm Master Ex joystick boating control system.

Enhanced Lower Unit Even after a decade of proven on-water performance in the harshest working conditions and marine environments, the new 4.2 litre V6 Offshore lower unit has received additional engineering improvements. New components and design features enhance the lower units legendary reliability and durability, further increasing operator confidence.
Fully Integrated Power System The all-new V6 Offshore is fully compatible with Yamaha's cutting-edge Helm Master EX boat control system, for a truly effortless boating experience. The full system combines Yamaha's ‘drive-by-wire’ Digital Electronic Control (DEC), integrated Digital Electric Steering (DES), premium CL5 multifunction display, feature-packed autopilot and full manoeuvrability joystick.
Helm Master EX Activity Warning Light This new warning light feature is optional for V6 Offshore outboards that have been installed with the full Helm Master EX boat control system. The light mounts directly to the outboard rather than the transom, for an integrated look and finish. The warning lights indicate the boat is actively in one of the Helm Master EX SetPointTM modes.
New TotalTilt™ Function Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ function allows for the complete tilt up or down of the outboard from any position with a simple double push of the Up or Down trim/tilt buttons. The new bracket allows the engine to tilt higher out of the water, helping to lessen the potential for corrosion, while the built-in tilt limiter automatically stops the engine tilt at a predetermined set point.
Optional Dual Flush System Flushing your outboards has never been easier thanks to the introduction of the all-new dual flush system option. The engine flush hose can now be routed through a new rigging grommet inside the rigging tube, which means automatic or manual on-board engine flushing systems can be used with ease. In addition, all V6 Offshore outboards still feature a built-in external flush attachment.
