The Yamaha F225XCB is a powerful 4.2-litre V6 four-stroke outboard designed for larger fishing boats, hardtops and offshore applications where dependable performance, strong acceleration and precise handling are essential.
Producing 225 horsepower, this next-generation V6 combines Yamaha's proven offshore engine technology with modern Digital Electronic Control (DEC), delivering smooth, responsive throttle and gear shifting without traditional mechanical control cables.
Whether you're heading offshore for a day's fishing, cruising the Bay of Islands or navigating a busy marina, the F225XCB delivers the power and refinement expected from Yamaha's premium V6 range.
Key Features
4.2-Litre V6 Performance
The 4169cc, 24-valve DOHC V6 features Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT), providing strong low- and mid-range torque, responsive acceleration and excellent performance under load.
Digital Electronic Control (DEC)
Yamaha's drive-by-wire throttle and shift system provides smooth, precise engine control, making manoeuvring and everyday operation easier.
Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust
Yamaha's innovative reverse exhaust system improves propeller grip and reverse thrust at low speeds, particularly useful when docking, manoeuvring or backing down on a fish.
TotalTilt™ System
Raise or lower the outboard using Yamaha's convenient TotalTilt system, which allows the engine to tilt automatically with a double press of the trim switch.
Advanced Fuel Injection
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) works alongside Yamaha's electronic throttle and engine management systems to optimise fuel delivery, throttle response and efficiency.
High-Output Charging
A 70-amp alternator provides substantial charging capacity for modern onboard electronics and electrical equipment.
25-Inch Extra-Long Shaft
The F225XCB features a 25-inch shaft configuration, suitable for a wide range of larger trailer boats and offshore fishing vessels.
