Yamaha will display its new F225TLR at the Forrest Wood Cup, which takes place Aug. 2-5 at Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Ark. The new engine, a high-power V6, sports-style four-stroke outboard with a 20-inch shaft, will be shown on a Ranger Z20 in the Yamaha booth.
Originally introduced in May, the F225 Sport Model is built with much of the same proven technology as Yamaha's venerable F250, and provides all the benefits of a high-power Yamaha V6 outboard that make it an excellent match for many of today's most popular boats.
The heart of the F225TLR is a compact 60-degree, 3.3-liter block. It's equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, which dramatically increases low- and mid-range torque. A redesigned air-intake system, coupled with proven Yamaha multi-point electronic fuel injection, delivers easy, instant starts, fast acceleration and maximum top-end speed.
An electronically controlled, single-throttle valve feeds individual long intake tracks, which increases hole-shot, acceleration and mid-range performance.
Several features, such as Yamaha's closed fuel-vapor system, have helped the F225TLR earn a three-star rating for ultra-low emissions from the California Air Resources Board. The outboard also meets or exceeds all federal emissions requirements.
