The F200 is the flagship outboard in Yamaha’s big four-cylinder range, delivering an extremely powerful engine in a highly compact and lightweight package. Suitable for a wide range of applications, this 2.8 litre, four-stroke engine is not only the lightest in its class, but delivers an unbelievably smooth and quiet operation. The F200 comes with variable camshaft timing, which boosts low and mid-range torque for improved acceleration and overall performance.
This exceptional outboard also comes with the option of a mechanical throttle or a ‘fly-by-wire’ Digital Electronic Control (DEC) throttle. The DEC offers an extremely smooth and simple operation, making time spent on the water even more enjoyable. This engine is an ideal choice for repowers and due to its slimline shape is also perfect for twin outboard setups.

Features & Rigging Componentry
2800cc Four-Cylinder Engine
The 16 valve, 2.8 litre, double overhead camshaft (DOHC) layout with its increased cylinder capacity and large valves, results in optimum valve actuation, resulting in improved valve timing, acceleration and overall running performance.
Mechanical or Digital Throttle
Choose from a mechanical or Digital Electronic Control (DEC) 'drive-by-wire' throttle option. The DEC offers a simple, smoother and more precise operating experience.
Variable Camshaft Timing
The Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) advances and retards the camshaft timing according to the engine RPMs. This in combination with the electronically controlled single throttle valve system and long intake manifold boosts low and mid-range torque for optimum acceleration.
Direct Ignition
The direct ignition system, with plug cap and ignition coil, provides higher reliability and increased performance.
Electronic Throttle Valve
The electronic throttle valve provides sure and more precise valve opening and closing according to each engine temperature and atmospheric condition. This system works in tune with the fuel injection and ignition systems, to deliver incredible response and exceptional fuel economy.
High Output Alternator
This alternator delivers more power: 50 amps at wide open throttle, producing a full 22 amps at only 600 rpm which means there is sufficient output to keep charging the battery even at low RPM.
Offset Crankshaft
The crankshaft design is offset 10mm from the centre of cylinder for more efficient transfer of power to the crankshaft.
One-Touch Start-Stop for Multiple Engines
This optional system for twin and triple installations automatically synchronises engines to allow a simple one-touch starting/stopping button capability.
Shift Dampener System
Yamaha's Shift Dampener System (SDS) propellers greatly reduce the noise associated with shifting an engine in and out of gear by absorbing the forces generated when forward and reverse gears are engaged.
Variable Trolling Control
Yamaha’s variable trolling control allows the skipper to precisely adjust the engine’s idling speed from 650 to 900 RPM in 50 RPM increments. The ability to finely tune the trolling speed allows fisherman to perfect their lure presentation when chasing different species of fish.
Conventional - 6Y5 Round Gauge
Yamaha’s most affordable Tachometer and Speedometer gauges offer RPM, Trim Angle, Oil Pressure, Overheat Warning, Trip Hours, Total Operating Hours, Speed, Trip Distance, Time, Fuel Level, Low-Fuel Warning and Battery Voltage/Warning.
Command Link - 6Y8 Round Gauge
Using Local Area Network (LAN) technology, these digital round gauges provide accurate and real-time tachometer, speed and fuel management stats, including fuel flow/consumption/economy (up to two tanks), trim level, battery voltage, push button trolling speed adjustments and more.
CL5 Premium Touchscreen Display
The all-new, low profile Yamaha Command Link CL5 touchscreen display is small in size but big on information, features and capability.
This display is suitable for all Yamaha Electronic Fuel Injected (EFI) engines and can monitor up to four outboards. It's sophisticated, modern design features intuitive operation and matches the latest boat console trends, while its compact size leave more room on the console for other electronics.
Remote Control Security System
Yamaha's optional Customer Outboard Protection (Y-COP) engine immobiliser system is easy to use and highly effective in stopping unauthorised start-ups when your boat is unattended. Simply push the button on the neat and simple remote to lock and unlock the engine.

The digital electronic control ‘drive-by-wire’ system eliminates mechanical control cables, reducing installation time and costs. F200CA models.
Genuine Yamaha Propellers
Prop choice makes a huge difference to outboard acceleration, top-end speed, handling and fuel efficiency. That is why Yamaha continues to push the technological boundaries in the design and development of our leading range of high performance props - ensuring every Yamaha outboard performs at its peak.
Yamaha Shift Dampener System
Many of Yamaha's mid-range and high horsepower props come with Yamaha’s exclusive Shift Dampener System (SDS). This system absorbs forces created when an engine shifts in and out of gear, resulting in a quieter, smoother and ‘clunk free’ shifting.
Reliance SDS Series
This new line-up of polished stainless steel props are specifically designed for Yamaha's powerful inline four-cylinder engines. They include Yamaha’s Shift Dampener System (SDS) for quieter and smoother shifting, without the ‘clunk’ normally associated with shifting gear.
Saltwater SDS
These stainless-steel propellers are renowned for their durability and superior mid-range fuel efficiency on large offshore boats - while their excellent anti-ventilation characteristics deliver improved handling in rough seas.
