Yamaha’s Jet Drive four strokes, can boldly go where no propped outboard would dare. Shallows. Rocky-bottom rivers. Shoals. White-water rapids. They’d all prove treacherous for a propeller-driven outboard, but a jet drive is all over it. Prop-free, you can “off-road” without worrying about breaking a prop on rocks and other underwater obstructions. So, while you may be giving up the prop, you’re gaining a whole lot of freedom, with powerful, fuel efficient Yamaha Jet Drives available in 150, 115, 90, 60 and 40 horsepower.
Yamaha's 1-liter F60 Jet Drive four stroke produces 40hp at the pump. Its compact, light-weight SOHC four-cylinder, in-line design features a single throttle valve and long-track induction system. This creates a light, compact, powerful outboard and improves throttle response.
