The Yamaha F150 is also an in-line-four, with 2670cc - 2785cc, 35\/50 amp alternators, EFI, and the same Command Link capabilities. It tips the scales at 487 pounds maximum (though we note that Yamaha published weights excluding oil, gear lube, and propeller). The F150 is one of Yamaha's all-time most popular outboards, and was refreshed just three years ago with a new cowl design, and a smoother clutch dog. Despite a (easily remedied) counter-balance issue early on with pre-2005 models, through time, the F150 has developed an awesome reputation for reliability and longevity. In fact, many people consider post-05 F150's to be one of the most reliable four-stroke outboards ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePartsVu has the best collection of accessories and essentials for your Yamaha F115 outboard for you to browse for your beloved F115.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yamaha-trim-tab-anode-6e5-45371-01-00-f115-vf115-s115-s130-115-130-150-175-200","title":"Yamaha - Trim Tab Anode - 6E5-45371-01-00 - F115 VF115 S115 S130 115 130 150 175 200","description":"\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1aj2hdb\" data-start=\"231\" data-end=\"315\"\u003eYamaha - Trim Tab Skeg Anode - F115 VF115 S115 S130 115 130 150 175 200 - 6E5-45371-01-00\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"317\" data-end=\"320\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"6lznae\" data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"335\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"792\"\u003eThe Yamaha Trim Tab Skeg Anode | 6E5-45371-01-00 is one of those parts that quietly protects your lower unit every time you’re in the water.
