The following year, Yamaha commercialized four models of 4-stroke outboard motors (9.9/15 horsepower, 25 horsepower, 40 horsepower, and 50 horsepower). Following this achievement, in 1998, Yamaha developed the lightweight, fuel efficient F100, which utilized dual overhead cam technology, and the F115, which was equipped with an electronic fuel. Re: Fuel economy on 15 HP Merc four stroke. what to expect? I normally use the Yamaha web site for rough fuel consumption information since they have a very nice collection of performance tests for nearly any boat on the planet (or at least you can find one very like the one you are interested in) as well as fuel consumption, time to plane and rpm at given speeds Outstanding Fuel Economy and Clean Emissions. Yamaha offers a full model lineup in four stroke engines from 425ps to 2.5ps that deliver superb fuel economy and cleaner emissions. Outboards of 20ps and higher are equipped with high-performance fuel injection to take that performance to even higher levels. In many models, our advanced technology.
