Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this model suitable for single-engine boats?
A: While it can be used in single-engine setups, counter-rotation models are primarily intended for multi-engine configurations.
Q: How does counter-rotation improve performance?
A: It helps stabilize steering, especially at low speeds and during docking, by offsetting torque from standard-rotation engines.
Q: Why must this engine be dealer-installed?
A: DEC systems require programming and flashing with Yamaha’s diagnostic tools to ensure proper operation and warranty compliance.
