Our 212-cc 8-hp portable outboard features 7.5 percent more displacement than its previous design. This SOHC two cylinder outboard delivers a nice balance of power, performance and portability for jon boats and inflatables. Its new, shorter tiller handle makes operation more comfortable, so you can make a whole day of it.

Features:

• Only 87 pounds
• Manual start only
• Shaft Length - 15"
• Solid 6-amp alternator

Optimal Operation

A CDI Microcomputer Ignition monitors throttle position, engine speed and atmospheric conditions in order to precisely adjust ignition timing under all conditions for optimum ignition performance, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.

Solid and Dependable

Incoming air is routed through the Air Intake Labyrinth System that traps and drains water before it enters the engine's intake for maximum reliability.

Engine Warning System

Protects the outboard with a range of functions including: overheat protection and low-oil-pressure warning (automatically reducing maximum RPM to 2000), over-rev protection, start-in-gear protection and shift-in prevention at open throttle.

Corrosion Protection

Combined with our proprietary alloy (YDC-30), our exclusive Phaze Five anti-corrosive paint system provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. This protection is standard on all Yamaha outboards.

Compact, Lightweight Design

A two-cylinder, single-overhead-camshaft platform and streamlined intake manifold provides an efficient, light design.

Responsive Acceleration

An acceleration pump on the F9.9 and F8 gives these engines the fuel they need--when they need it--like during rapid throttle advance. This ensures responsive acceleration.

Streamlined Intake

An intake silencer and manifold on the F9.9 and F8 result in more direct airflow, for minimum noise and maximum power. 

Smart Evolution

The F9.9 and F8 feature a new shorter handle for more comfortable operation. This also ensures that when the handle in hinged back, it tucks in tighter to the cowl for more stable, flexible storage.

Portability and Storage

Built-in front and rear handles make these lightweights easy to carry. Resting pads and an easy oil retention system allow for convenient on-side storage without cowling scuffs or oil leakage.

Propeller Protection

Yamaha's Shallow Water Drive, standard on all 9.9- and 8-hp tiller handle models, helps keep the propeller and lower unit out of harm's way in shallow water.
