The Yamaha 130hp, 150hp, and 200hp 2-stroke Saltwater Series outboard engines, produced from 1999 to 2003, are renowned for their power, reliability, and performance in saltwater environments. These engines are part of Yamaha's legacy of high-quality marine powerplants, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater use. Featuring a robust and efficient 2-stroke design, these outboards delivered impressive power-to-weight ratios, making them popular choices for a wide range of saltwater applications, from sport fishing to personal watercraft. These engines were known for their smooth operation, thanks to Yamaha's advanced engineering and innovative features like the Variable Intake System (VIS). The VIS technology ensured optimal engine performance across various RPM ranges, delivering smooth acceleration and efficient fuel consumption.
Yamaha's commitment to durability and corrosion resistance is reflected in the Saltwater Series, where components like the engine block and other key parts are specially treated to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater exposure. These engines were equipped with Yamaha's renowned "TLDI" (Two-Stroke Lean Burn Direct Injection) technology, which significantly reduced emissions and fuel consumption compared to traditional 2-stroke engines. The TLDI system provides precise fuel injection and a lean burn operation, allowing for cleaner operation and improved fuel economy. The Yamaha 130hp, 150hp, and 200hp 2-stroke Saltwater Series offered a range of features and options to cater to different needs and boat types. The engines boasted numerous safety features, including a powerful starting system and a reliable cooling system, designed to ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability in challenging marine conditions.
