The lightweight F25 outboard line from Yamaha is gaining new models that now include short-shaft power trim and tilt and a factory-installed tiller handle. Power trim and tilt (PTT) are now available on two short-shaft (15 inches) models, both tiller or remote control, and F25 factory-equipped tiller models with PTT now feature a new tiltable handle with an integrated PTT switch that is shorter and smaller, making it ideal for use in tight spaces.
“Yamaha’s F25 won a coveted NMMA Innovation Award shortly after introduction,” says David Meeler, new product introduction manager at Yamaha Marine Engine Systems. “As the lightest 25-hp model available — two-stroke or four-stroke — it features the highest power to weight ratio in its class. With the addition of these new models, Yamaha adds more value and convenience to premium portable power.”
The PTT switch can even be used when the outboard and/or handle is fully tilted up, lending easy access when trailering your boat. Variable Trolling RPM Switch comes standard on new models. To learn more, visit yamahaoutboards.com.
