2018 Yamaha F225NCA Offshore 4.2L V6 F225XCA Outboard Motor

Trim code F225XCA brings digital electronics to this 4.2-liter V6, running 4169cc of displacement on a 25-inch shaft. Unlike several siblings in this lineup, this exact listing bundles an LWK6CERX lower unit into the sale instead of pricing it as a separate add-on. What's included Budgeting against a competing quote that assumes a bare powerhead can make this option look pricier than it is, once you account for the lower unit already being part of the deal. This unit tips the scale at 562 lbs dry, a touch more than the mechanical version thanks to the added digital hardware. Reliability features A trolling-speed switch lets you hold a steady low rpm in fine increments, handy for staying on bait at a consistent pace. This block is built to weigh less than comparable four-strokes in its displacement class, and the console display pairs a high-contrast screen with key-switch start and stop panels; an optional theft-deterrent system can disable ignition and fuel while docked at a marina overnight. Buyers cross-shopping the mechanical version should weigh the added electronics cost here against the convenience of the touchscreen gauge. Pleasure and government use are each covered three years here, commercial use one. Confirm propeller and control-box fit with us before you order, and flag that you want pricing with the lower unit factored in.
