Even prior to the F350, Yamaha was renowned for their high-quality marine engines. Yamaha focuses on innovative engineering that enhances power, efficiency, and usability. Now, with the release of the Yamaha F350, Yamaha is bettering the world of boating once again.
Power and Performance:
You’ll never hear the complaint that Yamaha’s F350 doesn’t have enough power. This beast of an engine comes with increased displacement and torque with its robust 4.3-liter V6 engine. Every element of this engine is made to perform.
The longer stroke and new camshaft provide increased torque at lower speeds and the intake/exhaust valves are upgraded to optimize fuel injection. With improved airflow and combustion, you’ll not only notice the increased power but the enhanced fuel efficiency too. Combine that with Yamaha’s plasma-fused cylinder technology to reduce friction and improve heat distribution and you find yourself with the best marine engine on the market.
Design and Construction:
With all that increased torque, Yamaha had to redesign this engine to handle the power without increased exterior dimensions. The Yamaha F350 has an upgraded lower unit, enhanced electrical power output and oil cooling capacity, and a redesigned cowling for improved cooling and water drainage. Thanks to the engineering excellence at Yamaha, you are afforded that 350 horsepower with an even further focus on durability and reliability.
Features and Functionality
It’s not just the unmatched power that sets the Yamaha F350 apart from other models. Its superior functionality provides boaters with unparalleled precision. The Yamaha F350 comes with Digital Electric Steering (DES) for effortless control and Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust for improved responsiveness when reversing. Additionally, every F350 engine is compatible with the Helm Master EX boat control system for precise maneuvering.
Weight and Versatility
The reduced weight of the Yamaha F350 gets you on plane quicker and more efficiently with enhanced maneuverability and outstanding responsiveness. With 25-inch, 30-inch, and 35-inch shaft lengths, this engine can fit on a variety of boat types, making it one of the most versatile marine engines on the market.
Market Impact and Reception
The release of Yamaha’s F350 is leading many boating enthusiasts to upgrade their engines and even bringing new customers into the boating world. Yamaha stopped production of the V8 F350 in 2019 when they released the 425 horsepower V8 but the 350 option was sorely missed. Now that the F350 is available in a smaller, lighter-weight, V6 option, many are racing to buy it! After all, this engine perfectly fills the gap between Yamaha’s F300 V6 and their new-and-improved XTO 450 V8.
Yamaha F350 Recap
The Yamaha F350 is the perfect answer to a lightweight engine with unlimited power. It perfectly combines the most loved features of the Yamaha F300 V6 and the XTO 450 V8. With increased displacement and torque, optimized fuel injection, and Yamaha’s plasma-fused cylinder technology, this engine is a game changer for enhancing power without adding weight. The Yamaha F350 also has top-tier handling ability and truly innovative design— there isn’t much more you could ask for in a marine outboard engine!
