Thanks to Yamaha’s pioneering technology, here at last was a capable, reliable, lightweight and stylish four-stroke motor that was a joy to use and a pleasure to own. The F2.5, F4, F6 and F8 share the very same frugal attitude to fuel consumption, the same safe, simple controls and operating systems, the same vibration-free reliability. They all make life more relaxing too, because they’ll give you the confidence you need to explore and enjoy your boating to the full.

Your Yamaha.
