High HP Four Stroke F300 DES
Next generation control, next generation integration, next generation styling, original reliability.
Yamaha’s all-new, V6 Offshore series takes the proven 4.2 litre engine platform to the next level by incorporating technological advancements previously only seen on Yamaha’s flagship V8 425hp XTO models. The new V6 offshore models pack serious offshore grunt and refined engine features in equal measure.
The new F300 DES not only looks good with it’s more aggressive styling and choice of traditional Yamaha Grey or all new pearlescent white colours, but this engine has been designed to be completely integrated in to the boats power, steering and control systems. To achieve this, Yamaha has included built in Digital Electric Steering (DES) in this model. This new DES system delivers extreme precision and smoothness and is a huge advancement in boat control. When combined with Yamaha’s Helm Master EX control system, these engine packages deliver boating and fishing experience unlike any else on the water.
For the first time event, Yamaha’s Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust system is now available in this engine, delivering increased prop grip and thrust for improved maneuvering in docking situations and for reversing up to your next big catch. Another cool feature is the new TotalTilt™ M system which allows the outboard to fully tilt up and down from any position, with a simple double push of the Up or Down Tilt buttons. This not only makes operation easier, but the new mounting bracket system allows the engine to sit higher out of the water when not in use, for improved long-term durability and protection.
Helm Master® EX Control System
Helm Master® EX is an industry-first fully integrated digital boat control system that delivers next level control over your boat for increased boating and fishing enjoyment. Now available for single and multiple outboard engine applications.
Built-In Digital Electric Steering (DES)
Yamaha's built-in Digital Electric Steering (DES) is neat and compact, and delivers smoother, faster, and more precise steering - with additional capabilities. Removes need for steering pumps, hoses, hydraulic lines and bleeding procedures - for less clutter in the bilge area. F250 DES and F300 DES Models only. Bolt-on option available for all other models.
F300 DES Performance Data Reports
We take out the guess work in buying a new outboard, by rigorously testing our engines on Australia's most popular boat brands. See how the F300 DES performs for acceleration, fuel economy and top-end speed on your favourite boat.
Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust
Redirects exhaust bubbles away from the prop when operating in reverse and under 2500rpm, resulting in cleaner water for greater prop grip and significantly improved thrust. This is handy for navigating around marinas and docks, reversing onto your catch and when combined with the Helm Master Ex joystick boating control system.
New Shape and Cowling
Inspired by Yamaha's V8 XTO 425, the strong lines and more aggressive styling reflects the awesome power and performance, while maintaining Yamaha's sleek, compact and premium look. The one-piece top cowling with water-draining air duct moulding, includes a new bottom cowling and apron shape and raised chrome graphics on the built-in Digital Electric Steering (DES) models.
Enhanced Lower Unit
Even after a decade of proven on-water performance in the harshest working conditions and marine environments, the new 4.2 litre V6 Offshore lower unit has received additional engineering improvements. New components and design features enhance the lower units legendary reliability and durability, further increasing operator confidence.
New Colour Options
For the first time ever, Yamaha outboard owners can now choose from Yamaha's traditional signature grey or all-new pearlescent white. The pearlescent white colour option is only available on F250 (DES) and F300 (DES) models.
Fully Integrated Power System
The all-new V6 Offshore is fully compatible with Yamaha's cutting-edge Helm Master EX boat control system, for a truly effortless boating experience. The full system combines Yamaha's ‘drive-by-wire’ Digital Electronic Control (DEC), integrated Digital Electric Steering (DES), premium CL5 multifunction display, feature-packed autopilot and full manoeuvrability joystick.
Helm Master EX Activity Warning Light
This new warning light feature is optional for V6 Offshore outboards that have been installed with the full Helm Master EX boat control system. The light mounts directly to the outboard rather than the transom, for an integrated look and finish. The warning lights indicate the boat is actively in one of the Helm Master EX SetPointTM modes.
New TotalTilt™ Function
Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ function allows for the complete tilt up or down of the outboard from any position with a simple double push of the Up or Down trim/tilt buttons. The new bracket allows the engine to tilt higher out of the water, helping to lessen the potential for corrosion, while the built-in tilt limiter automatically stops the engine tilt at a predetermined set point.
Optional Dual Flush System
Flushing your outboards has never been easier thanks to the introduction of the all-new dual flush system option. The engine flush hose can now be routed through a new rigging grommet inside the rigging tube, which means automatic or manual on-board engine flushing systems can be used with ease. In addition, all V6 Offshore outboards still feature a built-in external flush attachment.
Yamaha Outboard Tech
Yamaha offers a range of rigging options to suit every boat. Check out the full suite of controls, gauges, switches, props and other technologies, plus outboard performance data.
