 Yamaha to Display New F225TLR at 2007 Forrest Wood CupHOT SPRINGS, Ark.--July 26, 2007--Yamaha Marine Group today announced it will, for the first time, display the new F225TLR, a high-power V6, sports-style four-stroke outboard with a 20-inch shaft, on a Ranger(R) Z20 in the Yamaha booth during the 2007 Forrest Wood Cup presented by Castrol(R) which will take place August 2-5 on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Ark. Originally introduced in May, the F225 Sport Model is built with much of the same proven technology as Yamaha's venerable F250, and provides all the benefits of a high-power Yamaha V6 outboard with a 20-inch shaft that makes it an excellent match for many of today's most popular boats. The heart of the new Yamaha F225TLR is a compact 60-degree, 3.3 liter (204 c.i.) block. It's equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, which dramatically increases low and mid-range torque. A redesigned air intake system, coupled with proven Yamaha multi-point electronic fuel injection, delivers easy, instant starts, fast acceleration, and maximum top-end speed. An electronically controlled single throttle valve feeds individual long intake tracks, which increases hole-shot, acceleration, and mid-range performance. Several features, such as Yamaha's closed fuel vapor system, have helped this outboard earn a three-star rating for ultra-low emissions from California Air Resources board (C.A.R.B.) The outboard also meets or exceeds all Federal emissions requirements. Yamaha plans to begin deliveries to boat builder and dealer partners by summer 2007.
