 Yamaha Launches New V MAX® Series 2 with Three-Year Limited WarrantyBridgeport, Ala. - May 2, 2007 -Yamaha Marine Group today launched a new series of high-performance, direct-injection outboards, the V MAX® Series 2. Representing the next development of V MAX power, the Series 2 line-up of outboards includes models from 200 to 300 horsepower and now features a Yamaha Three-Year Limited Warranty. "Since 2003, Yamaha has set a standard for high-performance two-stroke outboard engines with its V MAX 3.3-liter HPDIs and now we are adding even more reliability to these engines, and we are backing it up with a Three-Year Limited Warranty," said Phil Dyskow, Yamaha Marine Group president. "The V MAX Series 2 is more than just a running change - it's a new statement of more reliable performance." The V MAX Series 2 continues to be based on the proven 3.3-liter 76-degree V6 block, and equipped with second-generation, 1000psi High Pressure Direct Injection -- the same technology that powered four of the last six Bassmaster Champions. New are a number of components and systems designed to enhance reliability and durability. The shape of the V MAX Series 2 pistons has been re-designed to optimize its contact with the cylinder sleeve. The fuel map for each horsepower of V MAX Series 2 engine has been re-programmed to help reduce combustion and exhaust temperatures. The oil injection schedule has been re-calibrated to provide a more precise amount of oil for any given engine setting, based on engine speed and load. These improvements compliment a number of existing technologies employed for rugged reliability. Yamaha plans to begin deliveries to boat builder and dealer partners by summer 2007.
