In addition to being more than 25% lighter than existing resin materials, CNF-reinforced resin boasts greater material recyclability, leading to a reduction in plastics used and greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the new engine, Yamaha this week unveiled an all-new 255 FSH Sport H centre console sport boat with twin 1.9L HO engines and Helm Master EX joystick control for smooth, precise low-speed manoeuvring.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/0816boa002.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/0816boa002.png 506w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/0816boa002-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The newly announced 1.9L HO engine offers increased displacement, optimised intake and exhaust paths, and a 10% larger throttle body for greater power and torque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helm Master EX independently controls each engine using a system called dual thrust control to regulate output thrust. The throttle bodies are connected to a control unit that receives input from the joystick, sending signals to the throttle bodies to adjust the amount of thrust each motor produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also new from Yamaha is the extension of its DRiVE X low speed handling package to its 252SD and 255XD boat models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe introduction of Helm Master EX and the expansion of DRiVE X are excellent examples of how we\u2019re leveraging developing technologies to appeal to next-gen, \ufb01rst-time boaters who are already familiar with these kinds of driver-assist features through the automobiles that they own,\u201d said Yamaha WaterCraft general manager, Bryan Seti. \u201cThese new features are designed to keep people engaged in boating longer in their life, introduce new people to boating, speed up the time to become con\ufb01dent users, and give our current customers a reason to stay with the Yamaha brand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New 1.9L engine for boats and personal watercraft join new 25ft sport boat and expanded DRiVE offerings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7199,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7194\/revisions\/7199"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
