A lightweight and compact single cylinder configuration allows easy transport and delivers reliable power from small engine displacement.

Superior manufacturing techniques allow a leaner oil mixture, reducing smoke, odour and engine carbon build ups while also reducing oil consumption and running costs.

Yamaha's unique marine alloy, YDC-30, has been developed exclusively to handle the harshest of marine environments and is the result of years of Yamaha research and testing. YDC-30 delivers superior anti-corrosion properties that Yamaha outboards are legendary for.

Ergonomically placed carry points located near the motor’s centre of gravity allow easy carrying and mounting.

Loop-charged scavenging creates a circular fuel flow for efficient transfer of exhaust gas and even distribution of the air-fuel mixture. The result is greater combustion efficiency for excellent performance and better fuel economy.

The capacitor discharged ignition system provides strong spark and precise timing, preventing plug fouling, improving starting performance and reducing maintenance.

Yamaha uses strategically placed aluminium and zinc anodes for maximum corrosion protection. These anodes are even larger than necessary, ensuring total effectiveness.

The shallow water drive system allows the engine to be quickly set and operated at a tilted angle allowing safe navigation through shallow water.
