250HP V6
Command More With Less
Yamaha’s 225hp V6 is an outboard that listens—delivering reliable propulsion with responsive intuition. Built around Yamaha’s 4.2-litre architecture, this engine embodies refined marine power: clean-burning EFI, smart camshaft timing, and gear ratios tuned for purposeful performance. It’s a reliable workhorse wrapped in an elegant, compact shell.
Key features elevate this engine beyond raw numbers. Digital Electric Steering reduces helm effort and removes hydraulic maintenance. TotalTilt™ offers full-motion control at the press of a button, with safeguards that make it smarter, not just easier. And when navigating tight spaces, the reverse exhaust system enhances grip and control in ways you can feel instantly. The 225hp V6 doesn’t just get you moving—it redefines what a mid-power outboard should feel like.

SERENITY
Light Build, Big Return
The TotalTilt™ feature invites motion with intention—offering full engine trim at the tap of a button, backed by audio alerts and built-in limiters for safety. Combine this with Yamaha’s Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust, which routes bubbles away from the propeller path, and you gain exceptional low-speed control. Every motion—docking, tilting, or reversing—feels choreographed, not mechanical.
