Yamaha F115 Traditional Grey
|
Yamaha's F115 is the lightest four-stroke 115-horsepower outboard available. That and a host of great features and benefits means the EFI F115 is poised to carry on in the Yamaha line as one of the company's best-selling model. Available in traditional grey or new pearlescent white colour ways. |

Lighter Weight & CompactAt 377 pounds, the new F115B is 24 pounds lighter than the previous generation (F115LA). Weight savings come from a variety of new materials, such as a composite lower pan and cowling, a single ram power trim and tilt mechanism and a new lightweight mounting bracket. |
More PowerfulThe F115's powerhead is all-new with increased bore and stroke, now measuring a full 1.8 litres. At the same time, this double- overhead cam (DOHC) four-cylinder design gets larger intake and exhaust valves for easier breathing, more power and better midrange torque. Complementing the new valves and cylinder head is a new 60-mm single throttle body with Yamaha's long intake track system, and a new free-flow exhaust manifold. Compression ratio is increased, and so is the full-throttle rpm range: 5,300 to 6,300. A knock sensor, an unexpected feature in this class of outboard, allows the engine to operate constantly at peak output.The result is terrific acceleration and a zero-to-200-foot time that's 0.7 sec. faster than that of the F115A. |
VersatileThe F115 is just right for so many kinds of boats: pontoons, bay boats, fish'n'skis, sport boats, deep V aluminum boats, RIB inflatables and more. Its lightweight, high-strength mounting bracket uses the same mounting holes as most other models of outboards. Available in three models, it can be equipped for either remote control or use with a tiller handle. Like its big brother, the F150, the F115 comes in both left and right-hand rotation for use in twin applications. |
Better ChargingThe new alternator delivers more power than before: 35 amps at wide open throttle (compared to 24 for the previous F115) producing a full 28 amps at only 1,000 rpm. |
QuietDesigned for improved smoothness and quiet operation, the F115 has an all-new exhaust system and reduced vibration thanks to a harmonized inertial mass flywheel and large-capacity rubber engine mounts.Yamaha also has a new line of SDSTM propellers specifically for this outboard. Bringing the smooth and quiet operation of Yamaha's exclusive Shift Dampener System, these new props deliver quiet operation and meet the performance needs of Yamaha's new F115B perfectly - both when shifting and when in gear. Named TalonTM, these new props range from 9- to 16-inch pitches and are ideal for a variety of applications. Of course, Yamaha's Endless Propeller Solutions means a host of conventional aluminum and stainless steel propellers are also available. |
ConvenienceEven with its improved power, the new F115 still runs on regular 87-octane gasoline. It also has popular features such as Yamaha's Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS®). Models have mechanical control, and are compatible with Yamaha's Command Link® gauges and hardware. F115B models can be rigged to external NMEA-2000® compatible displays using a gateway device or analog gauges. In addition, this new outboard is Y-COP® compatible. |
ReliabilityBased on proven Yamaha four-stroke, marine-specific architecture and years of solid performance, the new F115 also uses Yamaha's Phaze FiveTM paint process. This process includes the electro-deposition of anti-corrosive paint on both the outside and inside passages of the engine block. Inside the engine, dimpled cylinder sleeves, like those used in the Yamaha F350, reduce weight and add strength. They also aid in heat transfer and help to keep the engine reliably cool. |

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.
