NEW MODEL CODES
Model Code Changes for F40 Models
In order to simplify Yamaha model codes and the introduction of new models, Yamaha has revised
its model code designators (starting with this all-new engine). Please note that all other Yamaha
engines will retain their current models codes until further notice.

Examples
F 40 B T X R
Fuel Induction Horsepower Model Code Starting Method Shaft Length Control Method
Designator
F = 4 stroke B = 3 Star T = PTT & E start S = 15" R = Remote control
CARB P = PT & E start L = 20" H = Tiller handle
Rating E = Electric start X = 25"
M = Manual start U =30"
J = Jet
F 40 L E H A
Fuel Induction Horsepower Shaft Length Starting Method Control Method Generation
PTT
F = Four Stroke S = 15” Blank = PTT & E start Blank = Remote A = 1st change on motor
L = 20” P = PT & E start Control B = 2nd change on motor
X = 25” E = Electric start H = Tiller Handle C = 3rd change on motor
U = 30” M = Manual start C = Command Link Etc.
J = Jet Control

Please note all other Yamaha outboard models will continue to use the current model code system at
this time. “Generation” codes will change at such time new Yamaha outboards models are introduced.
Model codes will utilize this new and simpler format at that time.
