📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 140 HP 2-stroke outboard, produced from 1997 to 2002, was the top-performing model in Yamaha’s V4 2-stroke lineup. Designed for serious offshore fishing and high-speed recreational use, it offered excellent acceleration, strong top-end power, and reliable saltwater durability. With a dry weight around 173–181 kg (381–399 lb), it was commonly paired with center consoles, bay boats, and sportfishing rigs where responsive handling and trusted performance were essential.

This manual includes all Yamaha 140 HP 2-stroke V4 outboards from this production period, including models like 140TLRX, 140TXRX, and other electric-start remote-control variants.
