Can you say shallow water? Yamaha Marine Group announced today a new, powerful jet-drive version of the F150, one of the company’s best-selling outboards of all time. Great for maneuvering through shallows, rapids and rocky shoals, the F150 Jet Drive also has all of the performance advantages associated with Yamaha four-stroke outboards – it’s quiet, clean, fuel-efficient and dependable.
“The F150 Jet Drive is incredibly easy to operate and really gives boaters the versatility they need to explore shallow waters that can be treacherous for prop-driven outboards,” said David Meeler, Yamaha Marine Group Product Marketing Information Manager. “With this outboard, there’s no need to tilt the engine up for shore landings, because there’s no propeller or drive unit extending below the boat.”
Yamaha’s marine-specific, four-cylinder, double overhead camshaft design features a proven 2.7-liter platform for power and performance. A streamlined cowling and intake system work in tandem with individually-tuned long intake tracks and Yamaha’s Precision Electronic Multi-Point Fuel Injection to provide outstanding fuel efficiency with easy starting, strong acceleration, and excellent top speed.
The F150 Jet Drive, rated for 105 horsepower at the jet pump, is fuel efficient because it’s a clean four-stroke. This new F150 Jet Drive joins the F115, F90, F60, and F40 Jet Drive outboards in achieving a 3-star rating for ultra-low emissions from the stringent California Air Resources Board.
