Picking Your Perfect Yamaha® Outboard Motor

There are many high quality Yamaha Marine outboard motors on the market. You'll want to narrow the search a bit before you start comparing models.

Choose A Fuel Type

The three common fuel type options are gas, electric, and propane. Gas is the most popular choice due to its lower price point and ability to reach higher speeds. Electric and propane models are better for the environment and create less pollution. The right fuel type for you depends on your priorities.

Decide The Ideal Size

Yamaha outboard motors come in various sizes. Larger options will offer more power, but they are harder to handle. Smaller options offer reduced performance but also a reduced price tag.

Be sure to take into account:

• Your boat's size. You don't want to get a massive motor for a tiny fishing boat or a compact motor for a towering ship.
• Your power needs. Try to get the power you need without paying for what you don't.
• Your boating experience level. Advanced boaters can make the best use of larger motors while newbies will likely want to stick with smaller options.

It's also important to consider portability. Some Yamaha outboard motors are more portable than others. Some folks want to use the motor occasionally and need it to be easily moved from storage to the boat and back again. For example, fishing enthusiasts who sometimes want the extra boost and sometimes want to just use oars. If portability is important to you, be sure to make that a priority in the search.

Decide Your Power Potential Needs

Explore Yamaha outboard motors on the market and you'll find a wide variety of power potential. Models can range from 2.5 to 425 horsepower! Some also include perks such as jet drive and high trust options.

Higher horsepower generates faster speeds. But it also reduces fuel efficiency and control. Plus it can be harder on the equipment. Pick the power potential that best strikes a balance for your boating lifestyle.

Choose Which Features And Accessories

Yamaha Marine outboard motors can come with many different perks. Common features include Helm Master SetPoint and touchscreen display. Common accessories include LCD displays, gauges, controls, and switch panels. Think about which features and accessories will most boost your voyages, then invest your budget accordingly.
