Yamaha Outboards 200HP | F200LC: Unmatched Power, Precision, and Efficiency
Discover the ultimate blend of performance, reliability, and advanced technology with the Yamaha F200LC outboard motor. Engineered for a superior on-water experience, this 200HP 4-stroke engine is the ideal power solution for a wide range of small to medium-sized boats, from fishing vessels to family cruisers.
Why Choose the Yamaha F200LC?
The Yamaha F200LC truly stands out in the crowded 200HP outboard market. Indeed, its remarkable power-to-weight ratio, exceptional fuel efficiency, and cutting-edge features set it apart. Ultimately, Yamaha’s commitment to innovation means you get an engine that’s not only powerful but also incredibly refined and user-friendly.
Key Features & Benefits that Elevate Your Boating:
Let’s dive into the specifics of what makes the F200LC an outstanding choice.
Potent Power and Responsive Acceleration
At the heart of the F200LC is a robust 2.8L In-Line Four Cylinder Engine. Specifically, this 2785cc, 16-valve DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) engine features Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT). This sophisticated design, therefore, maximizes intake and exhaust efficiency, delivering exhilarating acceleration and impressive torque across the entire RPM range, especially in the crucial 2,000 to 3,500 RPM band. As a result, you’ll experience quick plane times and strong mid-range pull.
Lightweight Design for Enhanced Performance
Furthermore, weighing in at approximately 240kg (516 lbs), the F200LC is one of the lightest 200HP four-stroke outboards in its class. This significant weight reduction, compared to previous models and some competitors, notably improves fuel efficiency and enhances boat handling. Moreover, it allows for repowering a wider variety of vessels without compromising performance.
Integrated Hydraulic Steering for Smooth Control
The F200LC also boasts a newly designed, Integrated Hydraulic Steering (IHS) system. This factory-installed, sealed cylinder unit is built directly into the transom bracket, thereby eliminating the need for bulky external components. Consequently, the result is a cleaner, more organized bilge and transom area, improved durability, and incredibly smooth, responsive steering.
Advanced Fuel Efficiency and Management
Thanks to Yamaha’s advanced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, you’ll experience precise fuel delivery. This optimizes combustion for excellent fuel economy and clean, consistent power delivery. Moreover, this system ensures easier starts and reduced emissions, contributing to a more environmentally friendly ride. For anglers, the F200LC also offers Variable Trolling RPM, allowing for precise control in 50 RPM increments when paired with Yamaha digital gauges. This feature, undoubtedly, is invaluable for targeting specific fish species or navigating slowly through congested areas.
Innovative Convenience Features
Experience faster and easier engine tilting with Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ Feature (available on compatible models). A simple double-push of the “UP” or “DOWN” trim/tilt button allows for complete tilt up or down from any position, making trailering and shallow water navigation a breeze. Safety is enhanced with a warning horn during operation.
Another key advantage is the Shift Dampener System (SDS®). This innovative propeller technology greatly reduces the clunk and vibration commonly associated with shifting gears, providing a noticeably smoother and quieter boating experience.
Powering Your Onboard Electronics
With a powerful 50-amp alternator (42 amps at battery charge), the F200LC provides ample power to run your onboard electronics, navigation systems, and accessories, even at lower RPMs. Therefore, you can confidently run all your essential gear.
Effortless Maintenance and Unmatched Durability
Maintaining your engine’s longevity is made simple with the built-in Freshwater Flushing Device, allowing you to flush the engine without running it. This is crucial for saltwater environments and significantly extends the life of your outboard. Ultimately, built with Yamaha’s legendary engineering and high-quality materials, including a special aluminum alloy (YDC30) and advanced anti-corrosion systems, the F200LC is designed to withstand the harshest marine conditions and deliver years of trouble-free operation.
