Yamaha F115JB 115HP 4-Stroke Outboard – Jetin, Jet Drive

Description

Smashing through shallow rock-strewn rivers is exactly what the Yamaha F115JB does best. The massive 1.8-liter inline-four block translates raw mechanical horsepower directly into high-pressure jet thrust, pushing heavy aluminum river sleds over dry gravel bars effortlessly. Verifying your hull geometry confirms this 115hp jet drive yamaha outboard mounts perfectly to a 20-inch jet-cut transom without risking intake starvation.

Eliminate catastrophic gearcase destruction completely by utilizing this direct-drive jet pump architecture to navigate treacherous shoals. You glide over submerged boulders effortlessly while the factory power trim instantly adjusts your running draft from the helm. Yamaha engineers the 161 kg assembly with impact-deflecting marine aluminum. This structural barrier stops rapid metal pitting when repowering aluminum river boats in harsh backcountry environments.

Key Features of Yamaha F115JB

• Direct Drive Jet Pump: Eliminates the vulnerable lower unit gearcase entirely, allowing safe navigation over shallow rocky riverbeds without catastrophic drivetrain damage.
• 1.8-Liter Powerhead Block: Generates 115 horsepower internally to offset jet pump parasitic loss, delivering massive pure thrust at the nozzle.
• 20-Inch Jet Configuration: Mounts specifically to modified 20-inch tall jet transoms, placing the water intake perfectly flush with the flat hull bottom.
• Hydraulic Power Trim: Adjusts the running angle dynamically via a console switch, optimizing hull attitude instantly to maintain a flat, shallow draft.
• Remote Steering Compatibility: Accepts standard mechanical cables directly from your forward helm, integrating flawlessly for precise directional control in narrow rivers.
• 35-Amp Charging Alternator: Outputs massive electrical current underway, powering essential navigation lights and multiple fish finders reliably against strong river currents.
• Turn-Key Electric Start: Engages the flywheel instantly via 12-volt battery power, eliminating physical pull strain completely during freezing early morning launches.
• Impact-Deflecting Alloy Housing: Forms a rigid structural barrier around the jet pump volute, defying severe abrasion from gravel and sand ingestion.
• Through-Pump Exhaust: Channels toxic combustion gases directly into the high-velocity water stream, keeping the operator station completely free of smoke.
• Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns fuel highly efficiently without oil mixing, easily meeting strict local waterway emissions regulations and EPA standards.

Why Choose Yamaha F115JB

You select this specialized jet outboard strictly to run extreme shallow water rivers from a remote forward console. It demands a flat-bottom hull with a 20-inch tall transom to align the jet intake properly. Securing a power tilt jet outboard prevents catastrophic lower unit destruction.

• Confirm your flat-bottom aluminum hull features a strict 20-inch jet-cut transom.
• Install corresponding mechanical control cables sized exactly for your specific boat length.
• Meet strict lake emission standards via certified low-emission combustion processes.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This specialized remote-steered jet outboard is built exclusively for flat-bottom aluminum river sleds, shallow-draft jon boats, and specialized skinny-water hunting skiffs equipped with forward consoles. Because the direct-drive jet pump sits flush with the hull bottom, it completely eliminates the draft penalties of a standard propeller, allowing operators to run on plane across mere inches of water. It thrives in treacherous, rock-strewn rivers where traditional gearcases would instantly shatter, delivering unmatched backcountry access for extreme anglers requiring a heavy duty jet outboard to maximize performance.

Warranty, Support and Maintenance

Authorized recreational operation receives a 3-Year Pleasure Warranty alongside exceptional factory support. Registered commercial applications fall under a strict 1-Year Commercial Warranty with zero corrosion coverage applied to the block. Scheduled maintenance requires greasing jet pump bearings and changing powerhead oil filters at manual-specified intervals. Always save all physical service records. Your engine serial number acts as the only way to source exact genuine replacement parts. Mulmotor provides product-information support before purchase and assistance with order-related questions.
