Yamaha releases 25hp four-stroke models

Yamaha has released two new 25hp four-stroke models, the F25D and the FT25F.

Yamaha said the two models are both designated as 25hp output at the propeller. The F25D is the standard model, while the FT25F is the high thrust version, best suited to operate on heavier boats.

While both engines share a common powerhead, the structural differences between the two lies in their drive train. The FT25F utilises the lower unit, bracket and gear box housing that is used on Yamaha’s F40 model with higher ratio gears. This gives the FT25F the gear ratio for turning a low pitch dual thrust propeller providing ample forward and reverse thrust for heavy boat applications such as barges or house boats.

Due to the varied applications of this four-stroke outboard, the F25D is available in a multitude of different configurations.  It is available as a tiller steer or remote control engine, with manual or electric starting, manual or power trim and tilt, and in a transom height of 20” for the standard lower unit or 25” for the high thrust model.

Weighing in at 78kg, the standard F25D is in the lightweight category making it appealing for owners of inflatables, RIBs, dinghies, and barra style boats.

There are five model variants, three in the regular F25D and two high thrust FT25D models.
