2018 Yamaha F225NCA Offshore 4.2L V6 F225XCA Outboard Motor

Description

This adaptable 4.2-liter F225 is ideal for deep-Vs or 20-foot decks since it lets you increase displacement without having to replace your gear.

BEST-IN-CLASS CHARGING POWER: Our V6 4.2-liter outboards have over 29% more charging power than other V6 four-strokes, with a total alternator output of up to 70 amps. This means there is enough power to charge a variety of on-board electronic gadgets.
PRECISE AND CONVENIENT TROLLING: You may regulate trolling speed in 50-RPM increments from 600 to 1000 RPM with our Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS®), ensuring steady trolling speeds under all circumstances.ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND SECURITY: A 6-inch high contrast, multi-engine LCD or a brand-new 7-inch touchscreen display, digital electronic controls, key switches, start/stop panels, and more information and flexibility than before are all elements of the Command Link Plus®. When moored, its optional Y-COP® theft-deterrent system turns off the gasoline and ignition systems.
SMOOTH SHIFTING: The noise that is often associated with shifting is significantly reduced by our unique Shift Dampener System (SDSTM), which absorbs the force that results from moving gears.

• 4.2 LITER BIG BORE DISPLACEMENT: Yamaha’s 4.2-liter V6 Offshore outboards feature plasma-fused sleeveless cylinder walls, which are 60 percent harder than steel. That means larger cylinder bores for increased displacement, resulting in more power and torque, without increasing outer cylinder dimensions. It also results in dramatically lighter weight and better cooling, and “micro-textured” cylinder walls that help decrease friction loss, and further increase performance and enhance reliability.
• BEST-IN-CLASS FUEL EFFICIENCY: Our 4.2-liter V6’s are up to 17 percent more fuel efficient at 3500 RPM than other four-stroke V6’s.* For maximum power and efficiency, electronically controlled throttle valves work in concert with Precision Multi-Point Fuel Injection to ensure a precise mix of air and fuel. In addition, six individual sensors constantly provide vital atmospheric and engine conditions to the Engine Control Module (ECM), which makes adjustments for performance.
• LIGHTEST WEIGHT IN CLASS: From the top of the cowling to the tip of the propeller shaft, every ounce of weight-savings has been realized for maximum performance without sacrificing durability. There’s even a new advanced polymer composite lower engine pan that lowers weight and increases corrosion resistance. The 4.2-liter V6’s are up to 73 pounds lighter than other four strokes in their class, at 562 pounds (digitaL and 551 pounds (mechanical).
• THROTTLE RESPONSE & ACCELERATION: Yamaha’s Variable Camshaft Timing system advances and retards the angle of the intake camshaft to dramatically increase power and throttle response in the low- and mid-RPM ranges. This feature helps Yamaha’s new 4.2-liter big-bore V6 outboards deliver awesome hole shot and mid-range acceleration.
• CRUISING SPEED: The Yamaha F300 is up to 19% faster at cruise RPM than other 300-hp four-stroke outboards.* Cruise RPM is where most offshore outboards are typically operated, meaning you get there faster, using less fuel, than competitive models.

• INCREASED COOLING CAPACITY: Yamaha V6 4.2-liter models come standard with dual pairs of water inlets for increased cooling efficiency. Located on the front and both sides of the lower unit, each pair of pick-ups operates independently of each other to provide proper water flow in a wide variety of applications and conditions.
• RELIABILITY & EFFICIENCY: For increased reliability, individual intake and exhaust camshafts provide more precise valve timing control with fewer moving parts than conventional rocker arm systems. This superior design also allows for the use of four valves per cylinder, which exchange intake and exhaust gases more efficiently for responsive power and increased fuel economy.
• PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS: All Yamaha V6 4.2-liter outboards feature a proven cowling drain system, to easily and efficiently drain away any water that enters the cowling during normal engine operation. Incoming air is routed through a labyrinth of passages that trap and drain water before it enters the engine’s intake, for maximum reliability.
• VIBRATION REDUCTION: Yamaha V6 4.2-liter outboards utilize our Long Span Mounting System, which employs a specially formulated rubber compound attached to newly designed engine mounts. Placed as far apart vertically and horizontally as practically possible, they provide necessary strength while minimizing vibration.
