Mechanical and Digital Engines
Many of the boats sold by Jones Brothers have both mechanical and digital engine purchase options. The Yamaha mechanical outboards use an older technology utilizing physical throttle control cables, mechanical or hydraulic steering, and are somewhat less expensive than the digital models. There are two varieties of digital motors. The “Digital – DEC/HYD” motors listed in the table use a Command Link Plus “fly-by-wire” throttle control, but have hydraulic steering. The “Digital – DEC/DSA” motors use both digital throttle and steering control, and the engines have integrated electronic steering actuators.
Yamaha Engine Model Codes
Visitors examining boats on the Jones Brothers website will find that each boat has different engine options – some with substantial price differences even with engines with the same HP rating. A person would correctly assume that the differences in price are based on features. Unfortunately, the Yamaha website does not contain any information about the specific engine model codes used to price and sell our products. This section attempts to answer questions about the different Yamaha models available on Jones Brothers boats.
The following table lists the current Yamaha outboard model codes definitions (2024). Using an F200XSA digital engine as an example, the model decodes into Four Stroke, 200 HP, 25″ Shaft Length, Power Tilt and Electric starting, Digital Throttle and Integrated Electric Power Steering, and at the first generation (A) of the motor.
Unfortunately, confusion can arise with some models. For example, the F150XC is a mechanical Four Stroke, 150 HP, 25″ Shaft Length, Power Tilt and Electric starting and currently in its third generation (C). Contact your dealer if you have questions.
