Yamaha’s new V8-powered F350. The world’s most powerful outboard.

A significant new chapter in the story of the development of the world market for marine power opened with the arrival of the latest generation Yamaha 4-stroke outboard, the massively powerful and stylish F350. In typical Yamaha style, it is not only the most powerful outboard ever to grace a transom, but also the first-ever 4-stroke V8 unit.

Designed primarily to satisfy the growing demand for light, compact, space-saving engines to power the larger breed of offshore boats, this advanced powerhouse from Yamaha has already created huge interest around the world.

Another stunning new flagship model, another opportunity for Yamaha to showcase its remarkable approach to the art of technology … and yet more evidence that proves why, to owners and users, Yamaha is The World’s Favorite Outboard.

The most compact, economical and quietest Four Stroke outboard in its class

Yamaha is proud to announce the arrival of not one, but two new 9.9hp Four Stroke models, the F9.9 and the special High Thrust version, the FT9.9.

Based on the technically advanced Yamaha F8 model that has already proved so popular since its own launch, they are the most compact and economical 4-stroke outboards in their category. In fact, they’re almost identical in size to the original Yamaha 2-stroke 9.9, making them the perfect choice for anyone wishing to move up to the convenience and economy of Yamaha’s 4-stroke technology without adding extra bulk or weight to their transom.

Truly light in weight and with integral handles for easy portability, both models are feature-packed and very easy to use, offering the outstanding performance and reliability the world has come to demand and expect from Yamaha.

They also lead their class with whisper-quiet operation, a frugal appetite for fuel and by offering the very convenient option of power tilt.
