YAMAHA Marine Experience 2024!
In the last week of April, another great event took place in La Spezia, Liguria, where Yamaha's exciting new V6 350hp outboard motor was officially launched.
14 350hp V6 outboards, in single-engine, twin-engine and three-engine combinations that graced the large marina, were waiting the journalists, who attended from all over Europe, to show off their wonderful features.
Yamaha Motor Europe, a world-renowned leader in outboard engines and boating system innovation, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated launch of its new engine and enhancements to its boat control system.
Two key trends have shaped Yamaha's priorities for their 2024 engine and boating systems innovations. The first is the increasing awareness of boat builders that outboards represent a genuinely customer-centric and versatile choice for powering larger vessels. The second is the progressive sophistication of boat owners, who are demanding more choice, better technology, and more extensive systems integration for their craft. As a truly customer-centric brand, Yamaha's priority is to rise to meet the evolving needs of boaters.
The exciting 350hp V6 is a valuable addition to the V6 line-up of 225hp, 250hp and 300hp V6 engines, bridging the power gap between the V6 and V8 (XTO 400hp V8 & XTO 450hp V8). Customers will love the higher power from a V6 and the increased torque at lower speeds, allowing for a more responsive, exhilarating experience when piloting the boat.
The new 350hp V6 has been designed with a larger intake and exhaust valves than the 300hp V6 and uses the same diameter electronic throttle valve as the XTO 450hp V8 to maximise air movement. Better air flow equals more power as the engine's precisely mapped fuel and ignition timing match operator throttle demand for responsive performance while a new, robust crankshaft offers a longer stroke, enabling more torque at lower speeds.
From the cylinder heads to the crankcase, Yamaha's new 350hp V6 is characterised by meticulous technical design. With an impressive 11:1 compression ratio, the new 350hp V6 expertly manages air displacement using tailored intake manifolds equipped with 40% larger surge tanks to maximise the amount and timing of air rushing to the intake ports, while also ensuring even distribution of air into each cylinder. Identical port and starboard intake manifolds enable the ideal placement for the 81mm electronic throttle valve that is 8% larger than the 300hp V6 throttle valve and centre-mounted for smoother air flow and more responsive power.
To capitalise on the increased airflow, a new, robustly designed crankshaft creates a longer stroke for more torque throughout all RPM ranges. The Yamaha 350hp V6 also incorporates the use of iridium spark plugs – appreciated for their hardiness and concentrated, efficient spark, combined with the premier of Yamaha's new fuel injection control mapping, which produces a longer injector duration than that of the 300hp V6 for more power.
Enhancements to the Helm Master® EX
Yamaha's exclusive, category defining Helm Master EX® control rigging system makes boat operations both easy and enjoyable. Helm Master EX® uses sophisticated technology to help professionals, enthusiasts, and leisure users to boat with confidence, maximising fun on the water across both single and multiple outboard engine set-ups
For 2024, Yamaha builds on the joystick-integrated variable speed bow thruster system with the addition of single, quad and quint outboard motor applications for larger boats that may require additional control. In addition, Sleipner joins Vetus for this next generation of integrated bow thrusters as supported vendor brands for this technology.
