Yamaha’s popular and proven range of F175 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.

The Integrated Hydraulic Steering system is 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.

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. 

The modernised F175 outboards bring a new level of delight to boating.

Features

2.8 Litre Four-Cylinder Engine

The 16 valve, 2.8 litre, double overhead camshaft (DOHC) layout with its increased cylinder capacity and large valves, results in optimum valve actuation, resulting in improved valve timing, acceleration and overall running performance.

New Look Cowling

The cowling has been completely redesigned for a more powerful, elegant and streamlined look. 

704 Premium Twin Binnacle Control

This highly-polished, stylish looking, top mounted control allows for effortless operation of twin mounted outboards. The ergonomic design features a thumb operated trim and tilt switches built into the handles, as well as shift and throttle control functions, for convenient and comfortable operation. Available for MEC engines only.

Single Binnacle Digital Control

This highly polished, ergonomic, top mounted control offers an extremely smooth and effortless one-hand operation of throttle, shift functions and trim and tilt. The digital electronic control ‘drive-by-wire’ system eliminates the need for mechanical control cables, reducing installation time and costs. F175CA models.

Genuine Yamaha Propellers

Prop choice makes a huge difference to outboard acceleration, top-end speed, handling and fuel efficiency. That is why Yamaha continues to push the technological boundaries in the design and development of our leading range of high performance props - ensuring every Yamaha outboard performs at its peak.   

Reliance SDS Series

This new line-up of polished stainless steel props are specifically designed for Yamaha's powerful inline four-cylinder engines. They include Yamaha’s Shift Dampener System (SDS) for quieter and smoother shifting, without the ‘clunk’ normally associated with shifting gear. 

Mechanical or Digital Throttle

Choose from a Mechanical Control (MEC) or Digital Electronic Control (DEC) 'drive-by-wire' throttle option. The DEC option offers a simple, smoother and more precise operating experience.

We take out the guess work in buying a new outboard, by rigorously testing our engines on Australia's most popular boat brands. See how the F175 performs for acceleration, fuel economy and top-end speed on your favourite boat.

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. 

Command Link Plus - CL7 Premium Touchscreen Gauge

Completely redesigned with greater ergonomic comfort and new capabilities, including: Speed Control (push-button up or down), Pattern Shift (for slower than idle speed trolling), Neutral Hold (for engine warm up or additional charge for batteries), Station Selector (for selector more then one helm) and Engine Trim. Available for DEC engines only.

Digital Electronic Control - Twin Binnacle

In addition to all the features on the single handle digital electronic control, the twin handle control also provides: Single Lever control (for controlling multiple engines with one lever), Centre Engine select (for selecting the centre engine only on triple and quad outboard set-ups) and the ability to Trim all or each individual engine separately. Available for DEC engines only.

Direct Ignition

The direct ignition system, with plug cap and ignition coil, provides higher reliability and increased performance.

Electronic Throttle Valve

The electronic throttle valve provides sure and more precise valve opening and closing according to each engine temperature and atmospheric condition. This system works in tune with the fuel injection and ignition systems, to deliver incredible response and exceptional fuel economy.

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.

One-Touch Start-Stop for Multiple Engines

This optional system for twin and triple installations automatically synchronises engines to allow a simple one-touch starting/stopping button capability. 

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.

6Y5 Digital Round Gauges

Yamaha’s most affordable Tachometer and Speedometer gauges offer RPM, Trim Angle, Oil Pressure, Overheat Warning, Trip Hours, Total Operating Hours, Speed, Trip Distance, Time, Fuel Level, Low-Fuel Warning and Battery Voltage/Warning.

Command Link - 6Y8 Round Gauge

Using Local Area Network (LAN) technology, these digital round gauges provide accurate and real-time tachometer, speed and fuel management stats, including fuel flow/consumption/economy (up to two tanks), trim level, battery voltage, push button trolling speed adjustments and more.

Digital Boat 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 (DEC models only).

Available for MEC engines only.

Yamaha Shift Dampener System

Many of Yamaha's mid-range and high horsepower props come with Yamaha’s exclusive Shift Dampener System (SDS). This system absorbs forces created when an engine shifts in and out of gear, resulting in a quieter, smoother and ‘clunk free’ shifting.

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.

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.
