PROP-FREE AND UP FOR ADVENTURE


JET DRIVE

Mechanical: 150 hp Mechanical or Tiller: 115 hp, 90 hp, 60 hp, 40 hp

Yamaha’s Jet Drive four strokes, can boldly go where no propped outboard would dare. Shallows. Rocky-bottom rivers. Shoals. White-water rapids. They’d all prove treacherous for a propeller-driven outboard, but a jet drive is all over it. Prop-free, you can “off-road” without worrying about breaking a prop on rocks and other underwater obstructions. So, while you may be giving up the prop, you’re gaining a whole lot of freedom, with powerful, fuel efficient Yamaha Jet Drives available in 150, 115, 90, 60 and 40 horsepower.

INCREDIBLE MANEUVERABILITY

With no gearcase or propeller extending below the hull, a jet drive allows you to maneuver around or pass over obstructions that would limit the travel of a conventional propeller-driven outboard. And with electronic multi-point fuel injection, you get lots of responsive power with fuel-sipping efficiency.

POWER & PERFORMANCE

Fuel Economy

Fuel Economy


Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection delivers the exact amount of fuel needed for optimum performance and efficiency. Yamaha’s EFI optimizes fuel atomization further enhancing fuel economy.

Lightweight, Compact Design

Microcomputer Ignition adjusts timing to maintain optimum engine performance, economy and power under all conditions.

Powerful Hole Shot

Powerful Hole Shot


The Composite Intake Manifold on Yamaha's Jet Drive F150, F115, F90, F60 and F40 feature long tube intake tracks, tuned to increase airflow. This boosts low-end and midrange torque for a more powerful hole shot and increased acceleration. Even with all this responsive power, an air silencer box and surge tank reduce air intake noise and air turbulence for smooth, quiet operation.

CORROSION PROTECTION


Combined with our proprietary alloy (YDC-30), our exclusive Phaze Five™ anti-corrosive paint system provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. This protection is standard on all Yamaha Jet Drive four stroke outboards.

Convenience & Control

INCREDIBLE MANEUVERABILITY

With no gearcase or propeller extending below the hull, a jet drive allows you to maneuver around or pass over obstructions that would limit the travel of a conventional, propped outboard.
 

ERGONOMIC CONTROL

Yamaha’s award-winning, Multi-Function Tiller Handle (optional on F115, F90, F60 and F40 jet models) features an ergonomic design for easy shifting , better grip and less rotation from idle to wide-open throttle. This reduces operator fatigue for a full day of enjoyable boating. Truly multi-function, it control features include throttle, throttle friction control, shift lever, key switch, stop switch and a Power Trim & Tilt switch. 
 

EASY ENGINE FLUSHING

A Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life.
