📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 225 HP V6 2‑stroke outboard (models like S225TX), produced from 1997 through 2003, was a powerhouse in Yamaha’s two-stroke line. It features a 3.13 L (3,130 cc) loop‑charged V6 engine with CDI ignition and EFI in later years, delivering strong mid- and top-end torque with 225 HP output while weighing around 229 kg (505 lb) dry.
