20 Shaft New (2025) Yamaha 8 HP Tiller (F8) four-stroke Outboard Motor (F8LMHB) Start Rope Tilt Manual

Original price was: $1,399.00.Current price is: $1,099.00.

Core Portability & Starting Features
  • Twin-Cylinder Architecture: Unlike many 8 HP competitors that use a single cylinder, the F8 features a 212cc 2-cylinder SOHC engine. This provides significantly less vibration and a smoother torque curve.
  • Manual Rope Start with Auto-Decompression: To ensure easy starting, an automatic mechanical device reduces cylinder pressure during the pull-start, making the rope remarkably easy to pull.
  • Battery-Free Operation: Because it relies on a manual pull-start and CDI ignition, you do not need to carry a heavy marine battery, maximizing space on small boats.
  • Ergonomic Carry Handles: Features large, rounded handles on the front and rear of the motor, designed for a balanced and comfortable carry.
Control & Maneuverability
  • Multi-Function Tiller Handle: A long, comfortable handle that includes a front-mounted shift lever (Forward-Neutral-Reverse) for easy reach, a large twist-grip throttle, and an integrated engine stop switch.
  • Manual Tilt & 5-Position Trim: A simple, lever-actuated tilt mechanism. It includes a Shallow Water Drive setting, allowing you to tilt the motor slightly to navigate thin water safely.
  • Steering Friction Adjustment: A simple lever allows you to lock the steering at a specific angle or loosen it for quick, tight maneuvers.
Performance & Engineering
  • Labyrinth Exhaust: Routes exhaust gases through a complex internal path to trap noise and exits through the propeller hub, ensuring ultra-quiet operation for trolling or conversation.
  • CDI Microcomputer Ignition: Automatically adjusts ignition timing to ensure the engine starts easily and remains fuel-efficient across the entire RPM range.
  • Thermostatic Cooling: A water-cooled system with a thermostat that ensures the engine maintains the ideal operating temperature for longevity.
Durability & Maintenance
  • Freshwater Flush Device: A front-mounted, easy-access port that lets you rinse salt and debris out of the cooling system with a garden hose without having to run the motor.
  • YDC-30 Aluminum Alloy: Yamaha’s proprietary anti-corrosive alloy, finished with a 5-stage paint process for maximum saltwater protection.
  • On-Side Storage Pads: Integrated pads allow the motor to be stored on its side during transport without oil leaking into the intake or cylinders.
Standard Accessories Included
  • External Fuel Tank: Typically supplied with a 12L (3.1-gallon) external tank and fuel line.
