2026 Yamaha F25SMHC Outboard

Lightweight 25HP Power. Simple Operation. Proven Yamaha Reliability.

The 2026 Yamaha F25SMHC delivers dependable 25HP performance in a lightweight, portable package designed for fishing boats, skiffs, jon boats, inflatables, and utility craft. It combines Yamaha’s proven 4-stroke efficiency with straightforward tiller control and the durability needed for years of dependable service.

Strong, Efficient 25HP Performance
Powered by Yamaha’s 432cc SOHC inline 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine, the F25 delivers strong low-end torque, smooth acceleration, and responsive midrange performance. Its excellent power-to-weight ratio makes it particularly well suited to lightweight hulls where portability and performance are equally important.

Battery-Less EFI Technology
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) provides crisp throttle response, efficient fuel delivery, and reliable starting without requiring a starting battery. This makes the F25SMHC a practical choice for portable applications where keeping the rig simple is a priority.

Smooth, Quiet Operation
The twin-cylinder 4-stroke design delivers smooth, controlled power with reduced vibration and noise. Whether cruising, trolling, or maneuvering around the dock, the F25 provides refined performance throughout the operating range.

Simple Tiller Control
The tiller handle puts steering and throttle control directly at the operator’s fingertips, providing intuitive handling and excellent maneuverability. Manual start keeps the package simple and lightweight.

Short Shaft Versatility
The 15" short shaft is designed for boats with lower transoms, ensuring proper propeller depth and efficient power delivery. This makes the F25SMHC particularly well suited to aluminum fishing boats, skiffs, inflatables, and other small craft.

Built for Long-Term Durability
Yamaha’s corrosion protection system and proven 4-stroke engineering are designed to deliver dependable service season after season, with durable components built to withstand the demands of regular boating use.
