Yamaha F350 Outboard

LATEST VERSION OFFERS NEW LOOK AND YAMAHA’S BEST PROTECTION YET
Honed to perfection over the years, Yamaha’s new 5.3-litre F350C now has five full years of Limited Warranty coverage, wrapped in a refined outboard package with a list of benefits and features that are still unique in the marketplace.
“Extending limited warranty coverage to five years speaks to the confidence we have in the reliability of the 5.3-litre V8 F350,” said Jean-Francois Rioux, National Manager for Marine at Yamaha Motor Canada. “This added benefit offers even more value to customers purchasing Yamaha’s most powerful outboard on the market.”
Yamaha’s F350 redefined offshore power when it debuted in 2007 – and still has little competition in its class. The first F350 offered an outboard capable of the raw thrust necessary for pushing larger and heavier offshore boats. Thousands of F350s later, there is still nothing like it. The durability and unique performance of the V8 Yamaha F350 has proven particularly instrumental for commercial operators whose livelihood depends on the reliability of their engines.
While other manufacturers offer 350-horsepower outboards, none can match the big bore, normally aspirated flat torque curve of the 5.3-litre Yamaha F350C. There is simply no replacement for displacement. Nothing makes power as smoothly and consistently, and this type of reliable performance is what separates the Yamaha 350C from its competitor’s 2.6-litre, inline six-cylinder supercharged outboard. The torque curve of Yamaha’s naturally aspirated V8 delivers more power, more smoothly, compared to a supercharged six-cylinder outboard.
New F350C graphics also speak to the technology under the cowl. The “V” graphic not only defines the cylinder arrangement, but also denotes the way the engine makes power. The right side of the “V” graphic represents the flatness of the F350C V8 torque curve – the classic marker for consistent, smooth, naturally aspirated V8 power. Yamaha’s naturally-aspirated 5.3-litre V8 has the best torque characteristics in the business.
Like the original, the F350C also offers:
- Specific marine design – The 60-degree V8 has four valves per cylinder and double overhead cams;
- Unbelievable acceleration – Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT™) optimizes the engine’s torque at low and mid-range rpm for unequalled performance;
- Sequential multi-point fuel injection – Eight long-intake tracks in the induction system optimize power;
- Less internal stress and friction, and lower internal engine pressures and heat build-up;
- And it runs on 89 octane fuel, while some supercharged engines need 91 octane for maximum performance.
Expected availability of Yamaha’s F350C is late summer 2016. To see the entire lineup of Yamaha Outboards, visit www.yamaha-motor.ca.
