Compatible with 2019+ Yamaha XTO425/450 5.6L V8 models.

Performance Gains

The V8 5.6L XTO 425 will make 485 hp with this flash. This will turn your engine into a tuned XTO 450 putting out 485hp. Expect stronger acceleration, improved hole shot, higher top speed, and smoother power delivery across the RPM range. Torque limiters are raised to a safe level for reliable offshore performance.

Fuel Economy & Efficiency

Fuel economy gains of 10% or greater are typical. The fuel and ignition curve is optimized for 89 octane (95 EU for outside North America) or better fuel. Enjoy extended range and lower operating costs without sacrificing power.

Advanced Tuning Features

Often manufacturers will use the exact same engine for multiple horsepower models and simply detune them for the lower HP models. This allows Outboard EFI to easily get to the max HP and slightly beyond. Electronic throttle bodies are controlled to allow 100% air flow when present. Optimized fuel and ignition maps deliver crisp response with no flat spots.

Why Choose This Yamaha Outboard Tune?
