Yamaha Outboard for Sale: What’s in Stock
The Yamaha outboard motors stocked here span a wide range, from small portable four-strokes to the mid-range inline-four family most repower buyers are looking for.
You can browse the full outboard motors category and filter by horsepower and stock status. For how Yamaha compares to other outboard brands generally, our where to buy an outboard motor hub guide covers that ground first; this guide narrows to Yamaha specifically. If you’re not sure what’s currently mounted on your boat, our Yamaha outboard overview and Yamaha serial number lookup guides help you identify it before you shop for a replacement.
Picking the Right Size for Your Boat
A buy Yamaha outboard online search often returns the whole range at once, without explaining which size actually suits which boat.
Portable four-strokes (like the F25) are aimed at small boats, tenders, and kicker motor use, where light weight and easy handling matter more than top speed.
Mid-range inline-fours (like the F115 and F150) are the most common repower tier for mid-size center consoles, pontoons, and similar boats, balancing weight, fuel economy, and enough power for most recreational use.
High-output V configurations sit above the range featured here, aimed at larger, faster, or more demanding applications where the mid-range four-cylinder motors genuinely aren’t enough.
Match the replacement to your boat’s rated maximum horsepower, not just your old engine’s original rating; our outboard repower guide covers that distinction if you haven’t already measured your current setup.
Check Fit Before You Order
Shaft length is the single most common outboard buying mistake. A Yamaha at the right horsepower but the wrong shaft length won’t mount correctly.
Run the specific model through the site’s own Compatibility Check tool before you order, and confirm shaft length against your transom measurement directly rather than assuming it matches your old engine.
Featured In-Stock Models
Three current listings illustrate the portable, and mid-range options.
A portable four-stroke. An independent engine review of the related F25LA configuration confirms 25 HP and 30.4 cubic inches of displacement for the F25 family’s base powerhead; the LWTC-specific rigged weight wasn’t independently confirmable in this session, since that review covered a different suffix in the F25 lineup. Confirm the exact weight for this rigging directly before assuming it matches another F25 variant.
A mid-range inline-four. Two independent sources, tradeaboat.com.au and yachtbuyer.com, both confirm 115 HP and 1.8 liters of displacement for this exact model, matching the listing here. Tradeaboat also lists a 176 kg (approximately 388 lb) dry weight.
A mid-range inline-four, one step up from the F115. J.D. Power’s own spec page for this exact model confirms 150 HP, 2.7 liters of displacement, and a 25-inch shaft length, matching the listing here.
Confirm the model year shown on the listing against the current spec sheet before you order, since outboard model years don’t always match the calendar year.
Current pricing, exact shaft-length options and stock status are shown on each product page rather than reproduced here, since both change over time.
A Gap Worth Knowing About
Checking the F25LWTC against available sources turned up a gap rather than a conflict: the only independent review found for this family covers the F25LA configuration (25 HP, 30.4 cubic inches, 170 lbs), not the F25LWTC specifically.
The core powerhead spec (horsepower and displacement) is very likely shared across F25 suffix variants, since outboard families typically share the same engine block across rigging options. But the exact weight for the LWTC’s specific rigging (long shaft, electric and manual start, tiller) wasn’t independently confirmable from the source available in this session, since electric start and tiller hardware add weight over a base configuration. Confirm the current weight directly with Yamaha or UEP support if it matters for your boat’s rated capacity.
Shipping and Warranty, Briefly
Outboards ship as freight, with published US and Canada delivery windows of 7 to 14 business days, quoted at checkout based on weight and destination. New Yamaha outboards carry the manufacturer’s own warranty, not a seller warranty; confirm that US warranty registration applies to your specific unit before you order, since registration and coverage terms can vary by region.
Our where to buy an outboard motor guide and the shipping information page cover delivery and inspection steps in more detail.
Common Mistakes Buyers Make
- Picking a Yamaha size based on an old engine’s horsepower rather than the boat’s actual rated maximum.
- Assuming a suffix variant (like LWTC) shares the exact rigged weight of a differently configured sibling (like LA).
- Guessing shaft length instead of measuring the transom directly.
- Not confirming US warranty registration applies before assuming full coverage.
- Skipping the compatibility check because “it’s just a Yamaha.”
When to Get Help Before You Buy
If you’re not sure which Yamaha size fits your boat, or need the F25LWTC’s exact rigged weight confirmed, it’s worth asking first.
Use the Compatibility Check page for a fast fit check, or Contact Us with a specific question.

Yamaha Outboard: FAQs
Where can I buy a Yamaha outboard online?
Universal Engine Parts lists Yamaha outboard motors for sale across portable and mid-range inline-four configurations, so you can compare by horsepower and shaft length before you check fit and order.
What’s the difference between the F25, F115, and F150?
The F25 is a portable four-stroke aimed at small boats and tenders; the F115 and F150 are mid-range inline-fours, the most common repower tier for mid-size center consoles and pontoons, with the F150 stepping up in power and weight over the F115.
How much does a Yamaha four stroke outboard cost?
Yamaha four stroke outboard price varies significantly by horsepower, shaft length, and configuration (mechanical vs. electric start, tiller vs. remote control); check each live product page rather than assuming price scales neatly with horsepower.
Why wasn’t the F25LWTC’s weight independently confirmed?
The only independent review found in this session covers the related F25LA configuration, not the LWTC specifically. The core engine spec (horsepower and displacement) is very likely shared, but rigging options like electric start and tiller hardware can change the exact weight, so it’s flagged rather than assumed.
Is a Yamaha outboard dealer online the same as buying directly from Yamaha?
No. Universal Engine Parts is an independent retailer, not a Yamaha-owned storefront. New units carry Yamaha’s own manufacturer warranty regardless of where they’re purchased, but confirm registration requirements apply to your situation before ordering.
How do I know what size Yamaha outboard fits my boat?
Match the replacement to your boat’s rated maximum horsepower, confirm your transom’s shaft length by measuring directly, and run the specific model through a compatibility check before ordering.
Can you help me pick the right Yamaha size for my boat?
Yes. Send us your boat’s details and intended use through a Compatibility Check or Contact Us, and we’ll help you compare the real total cost of each option, not just the horsepower number.
