Does Yamaha have troll control?

[Netbender]

Looking at a new 150hp. My current Mercury has electronic troll control. I can get idle down to 800rpm. Does Yamaha have anything like this?

Took me awhile to find this answer. Looks like the 150d has a rpm control that takes it down to 650.

I think you need the command link digital gauges though so if you expected that then your all set

I have a 2014 Yamaha F70 and I hooked up a double pole double throw switch to the connector for variable troll switch (VTS). 50 rpm increments from 600 to 1000 per pulse up or down. Yamaha now offers the switch as a kit also. Must have a later model motor to do this

Don't need the full Yamaha command setup to do this.

The connector is there on all fuel injected models that have a tiller model option even if yours is not a tiller model. I know that is to 115 hp possibly even to 150. Anything larger will require command control setup.

You are correct....up until and ending with the 115hp. Up through that size they have the VTS switch which you can do with the switch they sell or cobble together the same thing. For the 150 you can get the functionality but only through command link gauges.
I had a 2014 115 Yamaha that i installed and used the VTS switch on. I sold that boat and bought one with a 150 and researched this which is how i know about the need for the command link gauges on the 150 and larger.

One of the reasons the 115 has the simple switch while the 150 doesnt is because Yamaha offers a tiller version up to the 115 size. The tillers all have the switch. Non tiller models inheretly have the hookup under the cowling.

I hope this helps.
