The Yamaha 130X, S130X, and L130X outboard motors represent a line of powerful and reliable engines produced by Yamaha Marine between 1999 and 2003. These models, known for their durability and smooth operation, were highly sought after by boaters seeking a reliable and powerful engine for a variety of applications. The "130" in the model designation signifies the motor's horsepower rating, while the "X" denotes a four-stroke engine with a 2.5-liter displacement. The "S" in S130X indicates a saltwater-series engine, designed for environments with high salinity, while the "L" in L130X stands for "long shaft," indicating a longer drive shaft for deeper transom installations. These engines were equipped with Yamaha's advanced technologies, including their proprietary "Lean Burn" system for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, and a direct-injection fuel system for precise fuel delivery and smooth operation. The Yamaha 130X series offered a balance of performance and economy, making them suitable for a range of applications. Their robust construction, featuring an aluminum alloy powerhead, ensured durability and long life. The 130X models were equipped with a single-overhead camshaft (SOHC) design, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency. The S130X models, with their saltwater-resistant components, were particularly well-suited for coastal fishing and boating in saltwater environments, while the L130X models provided greater versatility with their adaptable long shaft configuration. Overall, the Yamaha 130X, S130X, and L130X outboard motors offered boaters a reliable and powerful option, known for their performance, durability, and ease of maintenance. Their popularity during their production years cemented them as desirable and sought-after engines in the marine industry.
