The Yamaha 130X, S130X, and L130X outboard motors represented a significant step forward in Yamaha's marine engine lineup when they were introduced in 1999. These models, produced until 2003, were powered by four-cylinder, four-stroke engines with a displacement of 2.0 liters, delivering a robust 130 horsepower. These outboards were renowned for their smooth operation, quiet running, and fuel efficiency, making them popular choices for a variety of applications, ranging from fishing boats to small cruisers. The 130X was the standard model, while the S130X featured a saltwater series design with enhanced corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for coastal and saltwater environments. The L130X, on the other hand, offered a long shaft option, extending its reach for deeper hulls and larger boats. The Yamaha 130X series incorporated several innovative features that contributed to their performance and reliability. These included a counter-rotating crankshaft, designed to reduce vibration and enhance smoothness, as well as a digital ignition system for precise spark timing and optimal combustion. The engines' fuel-injected system, complete with a closed-loop oxygen sensor, provided consistent fuel delivery and optimal fuel economy. The Yamaha 130X series also incorporated a robust, durable construction, employing high-quality materials and meticulous manufacturing processes. The use of corrosion-resistant alloys in critical components ensured longevity, even in demanding marine environments. This combination of features made the Yamaha 130X series a reliable and dependable workhorse for many boating enthusiasts and professionals.
