YAMAHA REDEFINES THE 25HP OUTBOARD

 

LIGHTER. STRONGER. SMARTER.

For the 2017 season, Yamaha completely redesigned their F25 to be the best 25hp outboard on the water. Weighing in at only 126 pounds, the new light weight and compact Yamaha F25 is not only a whopping 25% less than the previous Yamaha models weigh, but it is also the lightest 25hp outboard on the market. That being said, it has a number of different boating applications that it can be used for. From jon boats and inflatables, to deep V fishing boats. All of these styles of boats can now benefit from the F25 which has the best power to weight ratio of any 25hp on the water.

The brand new power head design of the F25 features two cylinders which have two valves per cylinder and a single overhead cam. This design helps keep the weight of the motor down while not sacrificing any of the power. Also new to Yamaha's F25 line is the addition of the Electronic Fuel Injection System. The Multi Point EFI provides greater fuel efficiency as well as minimal starting effort in any condition that you may encounter on the water. To add to that, the Fuel Injection System on this motor operates with out a battery. No battery means even less weight needed in your boat.



Yamaha didn't stop there though, they even updated the tiller handle with improved ergonomics, convenient control location, and a VTS (Variable Trolling RPM Switch) for precise trolling speed adjustments. When using the VTS switch you can control your RPM's from 750-1050 in 50 RPM increments. Thats 150 RPM's under the normal idle speed. For the remote F25 models, you can adjust the RPM's through Yamaha's Command Link Digital Gauge or their Helm Mount VTS Switch if you do not want to add the gauge. The throttle, throttle friction control, shift lever, key switch, stop switch, power trim and tilt switch (PT&T models only) and VTS Switch are all located right on the handle for easy access.

Most of the F25 electric start models still feature a standard manual pull start option which is a great back-up starting method when out on the water. Yamaha also added a high output alternator producing up to 16 Amps of power. Perfect for charging your battery and then some. Lastly, Yamaha gave the F25 a 45-degree steering angle for turning and navigating the waters better.

With all of the innovative changes made to the Yamaha F25, there's no question that it is the meanest 25hp four stroke on the market.
