Loaded with performance, this 2.8-litre powerhouse packs a mighty punch. Its in-line four-cylinder design and electronic fuel injection make this outboard nimble, compact and lightweight. Now available with integrated hydraulic steering and digital electronic control (DEC), the F175 is ready for your next adventure.
Utilizing the same mounting footprint as their predecessor, Integrated Hydraulic Steering models can be installed by boat builders or dealers. Outboards equipped with Integrated Hydraulic Steering save space with fewer rigging components and offer precise non-powered control.
SHIFT DAMPENER SYSTEM (SDS™)
Yamaha's patent-pending Shift Dampener System (SDS™) greatly reduces the noise commonly associated with shifting gears. Using a special design and components, much of the force of shifting is absorbed, resulting in far quieter and smoother operation. The F175 comes with the necessary hardware to specify a Yamaha SDS™ propeller.
VARIABLE TROLLING RPM SWITCH (VTS®)
Controlled by a Command Link® tachometer, the operator can adjust the engine's trolling speed from 650 to 900 rpm in 50-rpm increments. This helps provide precise and consistent trolling speeds in an array of conditions.
CHARGING POWER
With 50 amps of total alternator output, the F175 provides more charging power to accommodate a wide variety of on-board electronic devices.`
Lightweight & Compact: The 2.8-litre F175 is a naturally aspirated EFI engine, make it lightweight while the in-line four-cylinder design is more compact than competitive V6s, too.
Versatile: A great outboard for a wide variety of boats, the F175 is available with digital electronic control (DEC) for those looking for the precision of digital throttle and shift.
Powerful: The 2.8-litre F175 uses large intake and exhaust valves for quick response. The DOHC 16-valve powerhead also has a single throttle valve and Yamaha's long intake track for easy breathing. A knock sensor allows the engine to run at peak efficiency and performance at any rpm.

The 2.8-litre F175 weighs less than a 1.7-litre supercharged competitor, and since it's a naturally aspirated EFI engine, less complex. Its in-line four-cylinder design is more compact than competitive V6s, too.
