Yamaha Marine Engines - When you Want the Best !

Yamaha...just the name is enough to get a huge smile of excitement on any biker’s face. The R1 & the R6 are the dream bikes of any bike enthusiast. Beautifully designed the bike is a show stopper. But what makes the bike truly perfect is the engine. Yamaha is one of the world’s best engine manufacturers.


When it comes to marine engines, Yamaha leaves all her competitor’s way behind. It manufactures the world’s best outboard engines. Yamaha has manufactured the worlds 1st V8 5.3 liter four stroke outboard engine.


Below there is information on the Massive Power and Torque Features and Benefits of the Four Stroke V8 5.3L :-


1) Single Electronic Throttle Control Valve: All air entering the F350 is routed through a single 81 millimeter intake that is controlled by the ECM to ensure the precise amount of air necessary for any given condition. This helps maintain optimum power and efficiency.


2) Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection: Seven different sensors constantly measure vital atmospheric conditions and engine functions to give the Engine Control Module (ECM) the information needed to precisely and instantly adjust the fuel/air mixture for optimum performance and economy.


3) Individual Pulse-Tuned Long Intake Tracks: Air enters each cylinder through individual long intake tracks, which are ‘pulse-tuned’ to provide air at the precise volume and timing for maximum density and power. The result is more low end and mid-range power and torque.


4) Enhanced Lower Unit Bearings: An engine with as much power and torques as the F350 needs lower unit bearings and bearing surfaces that stand up to the test. Yamaha has not only changed the type of bearings and/or increased their size, but also hardened the surfaces on which they ride, for increased reliability.


5) Dual In-Bank with Power Surge Chambers: Yamaha’s exclusive in-bank exhaust means it exits through the center of the engine between the "V" of the cylinders, rather than on the exterior side, to allow for a more compact shape. The F350 also features dual exhaust with power surge champers, which helps the engine more easily purge the exhaust for greater combustion efficiency and power.


6) Variable Camshaft Timing: This system advances and retards the angle of the intake camshaft to dramatically increase power and throttle response in the low- and mid- rpm ranges. This gives the engine substantially greater torque between 2,000-3,500 rpm to plane large offshore boats with authority.


7) V8 60° DOHC 32-Valve: The F350’s 5.3 liter V8 configuration is designed to easily produce 350 prop shaft horsepower, with less stress and strain on internal engine components than small displacement, high-output outboards. Four oversized valves per cylinder increase breathing efficiency and contribute significantly to this engine’s power and torque.


8) Saltwater Series XL™ Propellers: In order to harness the power and torque of Yamaha’s F350, Yamaha designed special Saltwater Series XL propellers specifically to move large, heavy offshore boats. With larger diameter and 21 percent more blade surface area than our Saltwater Series II propellers, they help enable the F350 to deliver up to 45 percent more thrust than 250 horsepower class outboards.

YAMAHA AND INDIA


In India, Yamaha marine outboard engines are widely used. It’s one of the top selling brands. West Coast Marine in Mumbai, India is the official distributor of Yamaha marine engines. Mr. Jitendra Rami from the West Coast Marine says “Yamaha marine engines are truly amazing. There has never been a single case of the engine seizing due to mechanical error. If ever needed the new engine can be shipped n delivered to the customer in just 72 hours!”


So next time when you look for an engine for your beautiful boat do consider Yamaha as one of the best and top-most option. And if you are still not satisfied then do visit the Samira Mumbai International Boat Show from the 28th of Feb to 2nd of March and have a look at the amazing Yamaha marine engines personally. Cause you need to see it to believe it!
