Yamaha Introduces New V6 Outboards for 2021

Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust (TERE) keeps exhaust bubbles above the anti-ventilation plate and out of the propeller below 2500 rpm when in reverse. This means the prop bites only clean water, resulting in outstanding reverse thrust and control to back down on fish. It’s especially effective when combined with the fast precision of Digital Electric Steering and Helm Master EX full manoeuvrability, which is helpful around docks and confined spaces.

Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt function allows complete tilt-up from any position with a simple double push of the “UP” trim/tilt button, or full tilt down (until trim ram contact) by the same double push of the “DOWN” trim/tilt button. There’s also a new built-in integrated tilt limiter to help prevent inadvertent damage. Plus, built-in DES models tilt higher out of the water than previous models, which reduces the potential for corrosion.

Even after a decade of proven performance, the new 4.2-litre V6 Offshore has an improved lower unit featuring new components and design features that add durability, further increasing consumer confidence. 

As the only outboard manufacturer using a highly advanced, thermally applied plasma fusion process on the cylinder walls, Yamaha’s V6 Offshore outboards have no conventional steel cylinder sleeves. Yet, the cylinder walls are 60-percent harder than steel. That means larger cylinder bores for increased displacement result in more power and torque without increasing outer cylinder dimensions. It also results in a significantly lighter weight, better cooling and “micro-textured” cylinder walls that dramatically reduce internal friction loss, further increase performance and enhance reliability.
