LightWeight & CompactThe 2.8-litre F175 weighs less than a 1.7-litre supercharged competitor, and since it's a naturally aspirated EFI engine, less complex. Its in-line four-cylinder design is more compact than competitive V6s, too. |
PowerfulThe all-new 2.8-litre F175 uses large intake and exhaust valves for quick response. The DOHC 16-valve powerhead also has a single throttle valve and Yamaha's long intake track for easy breathing. A knock sensor allows the engine to run at peak efficiency and performance at any rpm. |
VersatileA great outboard for a wide variety of boats, the F175 is available with digital electronic control (DEC) for those looking for the precision of digital throttle and shift. |
Better ChargingWith electrical output of 50 amps, the F175 produces plenty of power for keeping up with today's electronic accessories. |
ConvenientThe F175 runs on regular fuel (87 octane). It's also compatible with Yamaha's exclusive Y-COP® theft- deterrent system. Y-COP allows the user to disable the engine's ignition and fuel systems using an electronic key fob. The F175 also has popular features such as Yamaha's Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS®). |
Smooth & QuietYamaha's SDSTM (Shift Dampener System) for smoother, quieter, no clunky shifting. In addition, the outboard employs twin counterbalance shafts and our exclusive long span mounting system for vibration-free, quiet running. |
Integrated Hydraulic SteeringUtilizing the same mounting footprint as their predecessor, Integrated Hydraulic Steering models can be installed by boat builders or dealers. Outboards equipped with Integrated Hydraulic Steering save space with fewer rigging components and offer precise non-powered control. |
Yamaha ReliabilityBased on proven Yamaha four-stroke, marine-specific architecture and years of solid performance, the F175 also uses Yamaha's Phaze FiveTM paint process, which includes the electro-deposition of anti-corrosive paint on both the outside and inside passages of the engine block. |

Buyer’s Guide to Boats and Pontoons
When you think about it, buying a boat is a little bit like getting married. After all, this is the commitment of a lifetime, and you want to feel confident you’re making the right decision! Fortunately, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and plenty of boats and pontoons to choose from here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service. The following tips can help you narrow down the options and find your perfect match!
Choosing a Boat
What kinds of activities are you interested in? This should be your guiding question when choosing a boat. If catching fish is on the agenda, you should seek out a fishing boat, with features such as rod holders and livewells. If you want to pursue the excitement of watersports, you should look for a boat with a powerful engine that can reach high speeds. Meanwhile, if you are looking to host parties on the water, a spacious luxury boat will serve you best.
That being said, there’s no need to limit yourself. There are some boats that can cover all your bases! Pontoon boats, for example, are incredibly versatile. We are passionate about pontoon boats here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service, and we recommend them to our customers who want to get a little bit of everything out of their boating experience.
Budgeting for a Boat
Of course, you can’t talk about buying a boat without discussing all the costs involved! The upfront cost of purchasing a boat can be pretty steep, but the long-term costs are even more important to consider. When budgeting for a boat, remember to account for all the expenses that are going to add up over time – such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to set aside at least 10% of your boat’s total value each year for routine maintenance, and another 5% for any unexpected repairs. Meanwhile, you can expect to pay about 1.5% of the total value of your boat annually for insurance coverage.
If you have any questions about the boat buying process, you are always welcome to consult the sales team here at Howell’s Marine Sales & Service! We are always happy to assist. You can find us in Chatham, ON, near London.
