With a sleek low-profile cowling design, matched with a silky-smooth four-cylinder engine configuration, inside of a compact and light-weight body, the F50 looks as good as it performs. 

Within the F50 is a proven single overhead cam, 996cc, four-cylinder marine engine, that delivers an excellent power-to-weight ratio and exceptional refinement and fuel-efficiency. Out of the entire 4-cylinder 50 horsepower category, the F50 is the only Japanese manufactured engine in its class; which translates to superior reliability, refinement and quality that Yamaha engines are renowned for. 

Utilising Yamaha’s exclusive Multi-Point Fuel Injection System (EFI) and Electronic Control Module (ECM), the F50 delivers impressive power and torque, smooth and comfortable operation, low noise levels and emissions, and the best fuel-economy in its class.

The 50 horsepower is now available in both signature Yamaha grey and new pearlescent white colour options.

Features

996cc 4-Cylinder Marine Engine

The 1.0 litre, eight-valve, single-overhead camshaft, four-cylinder, long stroke design delivers ultra-smooth, useable power with low noise and vibration levels. 

Large Single Throttle Valve

Air flow is precisely delivered to all four cylinders based on the demands of the driver and combustion conditions. The air is pulse-tuned, before it reaches the injectors of the EFI system which promotes a clean and efficient burn for maximum economy and power.

Variable Trolling Control

Yamaha’s variable trolling control allows you to precisely adjust the engine’s idling speed from 650 to 900 RPM in 50 RPM increments. The ability to finely tune the trolling speed allows fisherman to perfect their lure presentation when chasing different species of fish.

Power Trim and Tilt

Yamaha’s push-button trim control makes engine trim and tilt adjustments quick, smooth and easy, across a wide trim range. The negative trim settings allow for improved acceleration and the ability to bring the boat onto the plane more quickly.

Fresh Water Flushing System

Simply connect a hose to the easy access connector to flush salt and dirt from the outboard without having to run the engine. Flushing the engine after each usage reduces corrosion and extends the engines life.

Labyrinth Exhaust System

Yamaha’s proven labyrinth exhaust system reduces engine noise at low RPM and idle. A water sealed outer wall around the exhaust muffler effectively reduces exhaust tone for whisper quiet operation and enhances cooling which protects the exhaust system against corrosion.

Electronic Fuel Injection

The Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, injects the right amount of fuel into the combustion chamber at the optimum timing. This system takes into account engine speed and load requirements to achieve maximum engine performance including ‘first-time, every-time’ hot and cold starting.

High-Output Alternator

A 12-Volt 16-Amp high-output alternator ensures that power is always available to start the engine, even after long periods of idling or running at low revs. This not only provides extra starting power, but delivers sufficient power to run the wide array of on-board electronic devices used in modern boating.   

Command Link - 6Y8 Round Gauge

Using Local Area Network (LAN) technology, these digital round gauges provide accurate and real-time tachometer, speed and fuel management stats, including fuel flow/consumption/economy (up to two tanks), trim level, battery voltage, push button trolling speed adjustments and more. 

703 Side-Mounted Control

One of Yamaha's best selling controls, this mechanical remote offers comfort, simplicity and flexibility. With its new ergonomic grip, reversible right-hand or left-hand installation, and convenient trim and tilt operation, this control offers all-round functionality and value.

6x3 Concealed Side-Mounted Control

With its stylish chrome finish and ergonomic design, this mechanical control not only looks good, but provides effortless one-hand operation. The trim and tilt switch is comfortably located on the handle and features easily accessible neutral warm-up controls and externally adjustable throttle friction.

704 Premium Single Binnacle Control

This highly-polished, stylish looking, top mounted control allows for effortless one-handed control. The ergonomic design features a thumb operated trim and tilt switch built into the handle, as well as shift and throttle control functions, for convenient and comfortable operation. 

Genuine Yamaha Propellers

Prop choice makes a huge difference to outboard acceleration, top-end speed, handling and fuel efficiency.
