Yamaha F8LMHB Outboard Motor

20-Inch Shaft | Tiller Handle | Manual Start | Manual Tilt | Gray

The Yamaha F8LMHB Outboard Motor offers portable power with a longer reach. Designed for boats with deeper transoms—such as sailboats or taller skiffs—this 20-inch shaft model delivers smooth 8-horsepower performance in a lightweight 4-stroke platform. Known for its quiet operation, fuel efficiency, and easy handling, the F8LMHB is ideal for cruising, trolling, or serving as a reliable auxiliary engine.

It features full forward-neutral-reverse shifting, a twist-grip throttle on the tiller handle, and Yamaha’s signature oil leak prevention system for secure storage. With convenient portability and the muscle to get the job done, this motor strikes the perfect balance between size and capability.

Key Features:

  • 8 Horsepower, 2-Cylinder 4-Stroke Engine
    Smooth-running and fuel-efficient, with enough torque for a variety of small boat applications.
  • 20-Inch Shaft Length
    Ideal for vessels with higher transoms, including sailboats and deeper hull designs.
  • Tiller Handle with Twist-Grip Throttle
    Comfortable, integrated controls for one-handed operation and easy maneuverability.
  • F-N-R Gear Shift
    Conveniently located on the tiller for quick and intuitive shifting.
  • Manual Tilt with Shallow Water Drive
    Allows operation in low water conditions and simplifies trailering or beach launching.
  • Oil Retention System
    Prevents oil leaks when the motor is laid down for storage or transport.
  • Portable and Lightweight
    Approx. 87 lbs. (dry), with side-mounted carry handles for easier lifting and mounting.
