Yamaha Outboard 2026: New model designations for models from F2.5 to F70

Starting with the 2026 model year, Yamaha is standardizing the model designations for numerous outboard engines. This affects almost all models from 2.5 to 70 hp. For customers, this means one thing above all: The familiar model names are changing, but the proven technology remains unchanged.

On this page, you will find out why Yamaha is making this change, why some of the previous model designations can still be found on our website at the moment, and how we are supporting you with the transition.

Why is Yamaha introducing new model designations?

With the introduction of the new model designations, Yamaha is creating international standardization between the European and American markets. This will make the models more uniform worldwide and easier to identify.

Important for all customers:

Nothing is changing with the engines themselves.

Power, technology, quality, and equipment remain unchanged. Only the model names are being adjusted.

Why can the old model designations still be found on marinawassersport.de in some places?

Since our website includes several hundred Yamaha products, accessories, and spare parts, the transition is taking place gradually.

This is why you can currently find both old and new model designations on our website. We are updating the product pages one by one, so that the new Yamaha model names will be fully integrated in the future.

Until the transition is complete, you may find the new designation in Yamaha documents, price lists, or brochures, while the previous model designation is still displayed on our website.
