Yamaha 300 HP V6 EFI Four Stroke Outboard Motor

Description

YAMAHA 300HP V6 Stroke outboard.

YAMAHA 300HP V6 EFI four Stroke outboard motor

Yamaha 300 HP V6 Stroke Outboard. The Yamaha 300hp outboard motor doesn’t have a specific number of hours allocated to its lifespan. However, its reliability and performance are well-regarded, with a 96% reliability rating.
Regarding rigging, the Yamaha 300hp outboard motor comes with a range of features, including power trim and tilt, remote mechanical steering, and electric start

As for the propeller, Yamaha offers a Saltwater Series II HP Propeller designed specifically for their 300hp outboard motor. This propeller can boost top-end speed by nearly 2 mph in lighter-weight applications ¹.

An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft. As well as providing propulsion, outboards provide steering control, as they are designed to pivot over their mountings and thus control the direction of thrust. The skeg also acts as a rudder when the engine is not running. Unlike inboard motors, outboard motors can be easily removed for storage or repairs.

In order to eliminate the chances of hitting bottom with an outboard motor, the motor can be tilted up to an elevated position either electronically or manually. This helps when traveling through shallow waters where there may be debris that could potentially damage the motor as well as the propeller. If the electric motor required to move the pistons which raise or lower the engine is malfunctioning, every outboard motor is equipped with a manual piston release which will allow the operator to drop the motor down to its lowest setting.

Large ships, boats and yachts will inevitably have inboard engines. Medium size vessels may have either inboards or outboards, and small vessels rarely have inboard motors. If one has a choice, these factors should be noted:

• Inboard engines are almost invariable diesel, allowing ruggedness, reliability and fuel economy. The very few outboards that are diesels tend to be large heavy items, suitable for workboats and very large RIBs. Diesel outboards are rarely found on leisure craft.
• Outboards may be easily removed from the vessel for safe-keeping and servicing. They are also vulnerable to theft (a risk rarely suffered by inboard engines).
• Outboards are cheaper and lighter than inboards. They are often fitted to cruising yachts. Cruising catamarans up to around 10 metres LOA frequently have a petrol longshaft engine with a propeller that is larger and slower turning than other types.
• Catamarans that have an engine for each hull (to aid manoeverability) tend to have twin inboards, as twin outboards might interfere with rudder arrangements.
• While inboards may be mounted in a optimum position for balance, outboards must be mounted on (or shortly ahead of) the transom. This means that a significant weight is at the aft end of the boat, and this must be taken into consideration.
