I'm not sure...but my dad has a 2001 Yamaha 225hp outboard that is a "Saltwater Series"...and we use it in the Great Lakes...all freshwater so it doesn't really matter.

I would guess that these outboards are fitted with materials that are more salt-resistant than normal but I don't believe they are modified too much or else they wouldn't sell them to folks in the midwest:D
