More powerful. More acceleration: Yamaha announces the new F80.

Even lighter and more compact - that's how Yamaha has made the latest-generation F80 faster and more powerful

When you pioneer the development and production of the world's most advanced outboard engines, offering your customers the widest and most ideal model line with clean, smooth, fuel-efficient four-stroke outboards for every application, what's next?

If you are Yamaha, extend your impressive experience with that technology and leverage it to further improve and refine your very best models.

A good example is the recently introduced F100, which is now joined by a new outboard: the stunning new F80. These outboards have already established their reputation worldwide as a highly sought-after mid-range engine with excellent performance, especially for water sports, fishing and leisure, but now have even more power and faster acceleration.

Without compromising on the legendary power and reliability that all Yamaha outboard engines are world-famous for, our engineers have not only redesigned certain components to make this latest F80 even more compact, but at the same time a significant weight saving has been achieved. The result? More power, more speed and greater acceleration from standstill. These factors contribute to making a boat feel more lively and responsive - and they offer the perfect solution for owners of older two-strokes who want to enjoy the many irresistible benefits of the very latest four-stroke technology at the stern.

Not only does the F80 deliver great performance, it also delivers it even smoother and quieter, with ultra-low noise and vibration levels - which are especially noticeable at lower speeds - thanks to the new design of the exhaust system and rubber engine mounts, an additional intake silencer, a new long support system and the improved rigidity of the engine itself.

Full compatibility with Yamaha's unique digital network system means an impressive range of advanced control functions and options are available, including a wide spectrum of digital gauges and the exclusive Y-COP anti-theft system.

Another attractive advantage of the link between the F80 and the digital network system is the availability of the integral VTS system (variable towing speed control). This not only ensures a lower idle speed, but also allows you to control the towing speed in 50 rpm increments - ideal for when fishing, for example.

Our newly designed engine cover with stylish graphics and cleverly designed water drainage channel on the side of the air intake completes the new F80. This new outboard looks and feels incredibly robust, which is one of those things that Yamaha owners notice and like.
