Yamaha Outboard Engines
Innovative, reliable, clean and powerful
Going afloat knowing your engine will always get you home is essential for a relaxing day on the water. At Ballistic RIBs, maximising your time having fun out on the water is what we’re all about – and that’s exactly why we recommend Yamaha outboard engines.
With a well-earned reputation for reliability, Yamaha engines are quiet, clean, and smooth, delivering impressive power and acceleration when you need it most. They’re built to perform – and built to last.
We also care about the environment we operate in. Yamaha’s EFI-equipped engines come with clean-burn technology and built-in noise reduction, offering fuel-efficient performance with a lower impact on the water around you.
And when it comes to upkeep, Yamaha makes life easier. A smart diagnostic system provides clear engine and performance data, so maintenance is quick, simple, and stress-free.
Engineering excellence
Our expert Ballistic RIBS team have vast experience of marine outboard engines. Yamaha are renowned for reliability and performance, and also for the quality components and materials used in your engine. This means extended lifetime use, greater reliability and reduced maintenance time and cost.
Over the years, Yamaha have developed the highest grade components from extensive, scientific destruction testing. Leading to very high quality specification and engineering.
Yamaha’s outboard engines own unique YDC-30 alloy is the result of this dedication to engineering the best quality components. A combination of aluminium, silicon, magnesium and titanium ensures industry-leading corrosion protection for significant components within your engine.
Engine knowledge = power
Yamaha EFI engines incorporate the latest technology, such as the NMEA 2000 instrument interface. Plus, digital network gauges (DNG) are available too. These display all your engine information digitally, when connected via a local area network (LAN).
Whilst afloat you can monitor your engine hours, RPM, trim angle, oil pressure, speed, trip time, fuel levels, battery power, fuel consumption and fuel economy at any time. Keeping you in the know means you can take action ahead of any problems, and should never be caught out.
This simple, efficient, information delivery, through easy to read digital gauges ensures you have all the tools you need, whether for leisure or commercial use. Installation is efficient and also means a reduction in wiring around the boat too.
Robust, durable, long-lasting
Yamaha outboard engines are renowned for their durability, which is why they are chosen by the RNLI and police force. They are built to last, and that helps to add to the resale value of your boat too.
Advanced manufacturing techniques include a five-layer paint process, called ACP-221, for a robust finish. A sequence of primers, undercoat and acrylic resin is oven baked for adhesion and hardness. Its then sealed in with a final coat of clear urethane lacquer for long-lasting protection.
This highly technical five-layer painting process is much copied, however has never been matched. Combined with the YDC-30 alloy and a series of sacrificial anodes used inside your engine, gives you the Yamaha ultimate corrosion protection system.
Pre-rigged and ready to go
All Yamaha engines supplied with a Ballistic RIB are delivered pre-rigged. This means they are all done to the highest possible standard, ensuring all the cables are rigged onto the loom. All your local dealer then needs to do is fit the engine to your rib.
Yahama’s flexible rigging programme enables a variety of options. And there is a wide selection of parts to suit your boating priorities. We can help you choose the best specification for your type of power boating.
For example, from 30HP engines and above there are over 60 different aluminium and black stainless-steel propellers. Plus, there are several control box options and gauges which all can be configured exactly how you need them.
