Power Options: Triple Suzuki DF350s Triple Yamaha F300s Triple Mercury Verado 400s When Yamaha introduced their newest engine innovation in 2018, the buzz and excitement was palpable. Their new XTO Offshore- branded 5.6-liter V8 outboard could produce up to 425 horsepower and came standard with a full 5-year warranty. This warranty flexed on the market with enormous confidence and a pledge for long-term reliability. Yamaha’s confidence in their latest outboard technology was developed through years of research and development with thousands of hours of real life testing aboard some of the most impressive center console boats in Japan and North America. This new V8 outboard had been battle tested relentlessly and is now well- proven in the market. At the launch of the new XTO outboard, a standard 5-year warranty was nearly unheard of, but it was not Yamaha’s first run. The year prior, Yamaha had announced a new standard 5-year warranty for their updated 5.3-liter V8 outboard, the F350. This was a move to reinforce consumer confidence for their original high-output V8 outboard. Updates to mechanicals in the 5.3-liter block were joined by the addition of variable camshaft timing which expanded the torque curve, aiding considerably in on-place times of large boats. The updates and improvements on this long-standing performer were proven strong and reliable through a rigorous testing phase similar to that of the XTO outboard. Through continuous innovation and refinement, Yamaha maintains their status as a leader in the outboard engine market. Plus, their confidence in the reliability and longevity of their products can be seen through the unrivaled warranty products they offer.
