Yamaha Jet Drive & High Thrust Outboards
60 • 50 • 25 • 15 • 9.9 HP | 150 • 115 • 90 • 60 • 40 HP
Why Choose the Yamaha Jet Drive?
Yamaha Jet Drive models are purpose-built for shallow-water boating where propeller damage is a concern. With no exposed propeller, Jet Drive outboards reduce the risk of impact while delivering responsive handling and consistent power. Built on Yamaha’s proven outboard platforms, they offer long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable starting in demanding conditions.
Key Advantages:
-
Shallow-Water Operation: Water-jet propulsion eliminates exposed propellers
-
Reduced Impact Risk: Ideal for rivers, rocky bottoms, and debris-filled waterways
-
Proven Reliability: Built on Yamaha’s durable four-stroke platforms
Yamaha High Thrust outboards are engineered to deliver increased low-speed pushing power and precise control for heavier boats and displacement hulls, making them ideal for sailboats, pontoons, and work-oriented applications.

Why Choose the Yamaha High Thrust?
The Yamaha High Thrust lineup is designed for boats that require steady, controlled power rather than top-end speed. Featuring larger gearcases and high-thrust propellers, these outboards generate increased torque at lower RPMs, improving maneuverability during docking and slow-speed operation. High Thrust models are especially well suited for sailboats, pontoons, and utility boats where consistent pushing power is essential. Built with Yamaha’s corrosion-resistant construction and four-stroke reliability, High Thrust outboards deliver dependable performance for long-term use.
Key Advantages:
-
Enhanced Low-Speed Thrust: Larger propellers and gearcases deliver superior pushing power
-
Improved Docking Control: Better maneuverability at slow speeds and in tight spaces
-
Efficient Four-Stroke Operation: Smooth, quiet performance with strong fuel efficiency
-
Application-Specific Design: Ideal for sailboats, pontoons, and heavier hulls
-
Proven Yamaha Durability: Corrosion-resistant construction built for long service life
