With a clear family resemblance to our flagship XTO, the 225 hp V6 takes Yamaha engineering and transforms it into pure authority on the water. A long intake manifold, integrated exhaust, advanced fuel injection, and VCT work together to deliver responsive acceleration, relaxed cruising, and the unmistakable feeling of mastering a premium V6 engine.

Say goodbye to cables and hello to total, effortless control. Drive-by-wire replaces mechanical linkages with smooth digital control, delivering smoother shifting, better throttle response, and easy synchronisation between multiple engines. It’s the difference between simply “driving” and truly “mastering” the boat.
Steering that feels surprisingly effortless. DES delivers smooth, intuitive steering without pumps, hoses, or hydraulic complications—just clean rigging, direct response, and steering that stays smooth and responsive long after the novelty has worn off.
Complex manoeuvres, simplified. Helm Master® EX transforms docking, positioning, and low-speed handling into smooth, confidence-inspiring experiences, with joystick control and intelligent integration that make tight spaces feel far more manageable.
Reverse like a boss. By keeping exhaust gases above the anti-ventilation plate, TERE ensures the propeller only grabs clean water when reversing, delivering stronger and more precise low-speed manoeuvrability. Combined with the advanced steering systems, docking becomes almost ridiculously easy.
Double tap. Full tilt. With TotalTilt™, you can fully tilt the engine up or down from any position, with an integrated warning signal and tilt limiter for added peace of mind. No cramped fingers. No need to lean over the transom as if you’ve dropped something.
Fuel goes straight to the heart of the process. Direct injection improves fuel atomisation and combustion efficiency, delivering better throttle response, stronger performance, and more power from every drop. No waste. No hesitation. Just results.
