Yamaha strengthens portable line-up

FILLING a vital horsepower bracket in the Australian market, the all new F4, F5 and F6 have been designed for exceptionally smooth running. With a range of exclusive features, increased capacity for greater performance as well as the latest generation cowl design and graphics, these new portables are sure to be a popular addition to Yamaha’s current engine line up.

These motors are fitted with low vibration rubber mounts between the power-head and bottom cowling. Additional rubber mounts between the bottom cowling and the base of the tiller handle further reduce vibrations for more comfortable driver control.

For easy transport and mounting these engines are fitted with an ergonomically designed grasp on the front of the motor and a large carry handle on the rear. The engines also feature Yamaha’s unique oil leak prevention system. This innovation allows the owner to store or transport the engine on either side or its front without leaking engine oil. This means worry free transport in a car boot and hassle free storage.

All models in this range come with tiller handle and manual start and are available in both short and long shaft configurations. A choice of two newly developed factory propellers added to the existing range of small horsepower props gives these engines added versatility.
