F70 Yamaha

New F70A Lightest weight and advanced technology Yamaha proudly introduces the new four-stroke 70 horsepower F70A, based on the current FT60C, featuring the lightest weight in its class and advanced technology. The new F70A is smallest in size and lightest in weight among the competitive fourstroke outboards in its class, and almost the same weight as corresponding two-stroke outboards. With its exclusive 16-valve SOHC system and Yamaha's unique ECM controlled multipoint fuel injection system, the newly developed engine delivers highly efficient combustion. This means the F70A provides maximum performance, excellent fuel efficiency and quick starting while maintaining proven reliability. Moreover, a higher engine operating range of 5300 to 6300rpm and a high 2.33:1 gear ratio produce quick turning of the lower pitch propeller with a large diameter for excellent drivability and optimum maneuverability. With regard to exhaust emissions, the North American models exceed US Federal EPA 2010 emission requirements and meet US CARB 2008 emission standards. The European Union model also meets EU 2006 emission regulations. The optional advanced digital network system for remote control models can be used to enhance reliability and convenience, and simplifies rigging by removing the need for remote control cables. With the advantage of lightweight, excellent performance and convenience, the F70A can be used widely to power open boats and inflatable boats for fishing, family boating and transportation. They are available in two shaft lengths: 20- and 25-inch.
