LOW RPM/SECURITY MODE
A small remote transmitter allows you to reduce top speed and RPMs for better fuel efficiency and disable the ignition to prevent an unauthorized startup.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The FX Cruiser High Output offers the best fuel economy in its class (5 gallons per hour less usage than comparable models) and a fuel consumption meter that allows you to keep track of your gas mileage while riding.

REBOARDING STEP
A retractable reboarding step makes it easy to climb back on the WaveRunner after taking a break for a quick swim or snorkeling session.

ADJUSTABLE STEERING
The driver can optimize leverage by adjusting the steering column to his or her preferred riding position.

The Powerplant

The FX Cruiser® High Output is powered by a Yamaha High Output MR-1™ engine. This 1052cc four cylinder, four-stroke Yamaha marine engine delivers more power in a lighter package than any other full-size, four-stroke normally-aspirated watercraft in the industry.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): Four individually adjustable throttle bodies, throttle position sensor (TPS) and intake air pressure and air temperature sensors supply the optimum air/fuel mixture. The results are a smooth, high power output with low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions.
Specially Designed, One-piece Cylinder and Crankcase Assembly: Provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs.
Slant Detection Switch: Electronic switch stops engine and oil pumps immediately if watercraft becomes overturned, protecting motor from unwanted water ingestion.
High Volume Intake Box: With water repellent air filter and flame arrestors.
Dry Sump Lubrication: Uses two engine oil pumps to deliver lubricated oil to each moving part with water-jacketed sump and oil backflow protection.
Yamaha Engine Management System (Y.E.M.S.): An integrated, computerized management system that controls and adjusts such functions as ignition timing, fuel injection mapping, engine diagnostics and off throttle steering. The OTS function of Y.E.M.S. activates when the operator releases the throttle lever and attempts to steer the watercraft. This assists the operator in turning while the watercraft is decelerating.
Independent Water-jacketed Exhaust Manifolds with Collector: Achieves high power while keeping noise and exhaust heat under control.
Thermostatic and Pressure Controlled Cooling System: Water flow through the engine is controlled by a thermostat and pressure system and is maintained by a pressure control valve.
Corrosion Protection System: Sacrificial zinc anodes protect the engine from harmful galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel fasteners (nuts, bolts, hardware) provide a long service life. Cylinders, cases and heads are all treated with a durable oxide coating to form a barrier between corrosion and expensive engine parts.
Electronically Controlled, Variable Ignition Timing: For exact ignition advance control at all throttle positions and RPMs.
Direct injection: For more efficient combustion.

The Jet Pump Propulsion System

The FX Cruiser High Output's 155mm hyper-flow jet pump propulsion system with three-blade stainless steel impeller is designed to maximize water flow for high performance. The FX pump configuration provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration.
Reverse: Allows the watercraft to be backed up off a trailer or out of tight spots where you cannot turn around easily.
Quick Shift Trim System (Q.S.T.S.): Mechanically operated, this system offers instant change in the attitude of the watercraft while underway allowing for tighter turns or quicker acceleration on plane, as the rider prefers. Q.S.T.S. offers 24 degrees of total trim range.
Stainless Steel Impeller Housing Liner: For high durability, the liner maintains accurate clearance tolerances between the impeller and the housing.
High Flow Intake Duct and Grate: The dynamic shape of these items directs water flow into the pump for better thrust, performance and hook up.
Pumps are Manufactured with YDC30: A combination of zinc and copper alloys, developed by Yamaha marine engineers, that offers excellent corrosion protection.

The Ultra-Lightweight, High Strength Hull and Deck

The FX High Output was specifically designed to be ultra-light. Built from a high-tech SMC material, the FX Cruiser High Output’s hull is not only the best-handling hull in its class, but its lighter weight adds to the FX Cruiser High Output’s best-in-class power-to-weight ratio.
Progressive, Stepper Draft V-Hull with Integrated Bow Spray Guard: Provides excellent maneuverability, handling and comfort.
Sponson Design: Provides added straight-line comfort and an improved two and three-up riding experience.

Additional Features:

Yamaha Cruiser Seat: Yamaha’s innovative Cruiser seat provides excellent comfort for the passenger and driver.
Five-step Adjustable Tilt Steering System: Allows the rider to adjust the steering column angle from 55 degrees to 35 degrees.
Multi-function Electronic Information Center: Provides the operator a quick read on speed, RPM, fuel level, low fuel warning, low oil pressure warning, battery voltage, overheat warning, hour meter, check engine light with self-diagnostic function and the industry's only audible warning system.
Industry's First Remote Controlled Transmitter: With the touch of a button on Yamaha’s innovative remote controlled transmitter, you can activate and deactivate the FX Cruiser High Output's digital security system and all-new Low RPM Mode from up to 30 feet away.
Foot Chocks - The foot chocks, along with the Cruiser seat and handlebars, create a three-point contact system that reduces tension on the driver’s arms and legs.
Low RPM Mode™: Also with the touch a button on the remote transmitter, the top speed of the FX Cruiser High Output is reduced by nearly 30 percent.
Yamaha Security System: This security system that can be activated with the touch of a button ensures that no one starts the FX Cruiser High Output without your permission.
26 Gallons of Total Storage: Includes a large 19.8-gallon cooler, rear storage tub and glove box.
Glove Box with Self-draining Beverage Holders: The industry's first self-draining beverage holders.
Extra Large Boarding Platform with Retractable Reboarding Step: Provides a stable area for re-boarding.
Dual Mirrors: Automotive style and convenience.
Finger Throttle Lever: Provides added comfort while reducing hand fatigue.
Yamaha's Trademarked Visibility Spout®: A waterspout from the rear of the craft that improves the watercraft’s conspicuity.
