Yamaha to Display New F225TLR at 2007 Forrest Wood Cup
HOT 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.
