Description
The F75LB is built around Yamaha’s1,832cc single-overhead-camshaft four-cylinder powerhead — a 1.8-litre, 16-valve design that provides exceptional breathing and efficiency . The four-valve-per-cylinder configuration ensures great engine combustion, contributing to horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency .
The Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection system delivers the exact amount of fuel needed for optimum performance and efficiency, with Yamaha’s EFI optimizing fuel atomization for enhanced fuel economy. The TCI microcomputer ignition adjusts timing to maintain optimal engine performance, economy, and power under all operating conditions .
The composite intake manifold features long tube intake tracks, tuned to increase airflow, which boosts low-end and midrange torque. The air silencer box and surge tank reduce air intake noise and air turbulence for smooth, quiet operation .
The 35-amp high-output alternator ensures that power is always available to start the engine, even after long periods of idling or running at low revs . This provides ample charging capacity for onboard electronics, fish finders, and radios.
Yamaha’s Phaze Five™ electro-deposited anti-corrosive paint system, combined with their proprietary YDC-30 alloy, provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. The Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life .
The Power Trim and Tilt system provides a trim range of -4° through +16° with a 70° tilt range, bringing the bow of the boat up for better hole shot, top speed, and a smoother ride .
