The New F20 EFI portable outboard, built on the same award-winning platform as the F25, sees many of Yamaha’s larger engine technologies introduced to this smaller engine platform.

The new F20 now comes with both battery and battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) options, for enhanced fuel economy, power and operating performance.

Other features include the introduction of variable trolling to allow for the perfect lure presentation, increased displacement from 362 to 432 cm3, and a high-output alternator which sees a 60% increase in output to meet additional electronic equipment power demand.

This engine comes in a number of configurations, including battery-less EFI, manual start and/or electric start,  manual tilt or power tilt, and now with a new smaller and shorter multi-function tiller handle for the power tilt option.

Features

Battery-Less Fuel Injection

The F20's battery-less fuel injection system makes engine set-up more simple and convenient for pull-start models. The system takes into account engine requirements to achieve maximum engine performance including ‘first-time, every-time’ hot and cold starting.

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.

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. 

Yamaha Outboard Tech

Yamaha offers a range of rigging options to suit every boat. Check out the full suite of controls, gauges, switches, props and other technologies, plus outboard performance data.

High-Output Alternator

A 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. (Battery charging kit optional)

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.

Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS)

Standard on all F20 models, the Variable Trolling RPM Switch, located on the tiller handle, allows you to set the perfect speed for trolling your favourite lure. Speed can be fine tuned, up or down, in 50 RPM increments.

432cc Two-Cylinder

The four-valve, two-cylinder, Single Overhead Camshaft delivers sufficient torque from low to mid speed ranges for a quick response and smooth running.

New Purpose-Built Multi-Function Tiller Handle

The F20 with Power Tilt (PT) model (long shaft only), now features a new tiller handle that is shorter and smaller, giving small boat owners more choice and the option to select a premium featured engine for their hull. 

Digital Gauges Compatible

The F20 is fully compatible with Yamaha's Digital Network Gauges (Command Link), giving you the information needed to maximise engine performance and efficiency. This engine is also NMEA2000 compatible allowing the F20 to share information with third party multi-function displays, GPS and fish finders.

Wide Span Mounting System

The large rubber mounts and the wide length between the mounts help to reduce engine vibration.

Conventional - 6Y5 Round Gauges

Yamaha’s most affordable Tachometer and Speedometer gauges offer RPM, Trim Angle, Oil Pressure, Overheat Warning, Trip Hours, Total Operating Hours, Speed, Trip Distance, Time, Fuel Level, Low-Fuel Warning and Battery Voltage/Warning.

Command Link - 6Y8 Round Gauges

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. 

Anti-Corrosion Paint System

Yamaha engines are known for their durability and high re-sale value. Part of this lies in the anti-corrosion protection. A unique YDC-30 aluminium alloy and 5-stage exterior paint coating process protects the engine's exterior parts, while high-quality, marine-grade stainless steel componentry is used through-out.

CL5 Premium Touchscreen Display

The all-new, low profile Yamaha Command Link CL5 touchscreen display is small in size but big on information, features and capability.

This display is suitable for all Yamaha Electronic Fuel Injected (EFI) engines and can monitor up to four outboards. It's sophisticated, modern design features intuitive operation and matches the latest boat console trends, while its compact size leave more room on the console for other electronics. 

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.

Genuine Yamaha Propellers

Prop choice makes a huge difference to outboard acceleration, top-end speed, handling and fuel efficiency. That is why Yamaha continues to push the technological boundaries in the design and development of our leading range of high performance props - ensuring every Yamaha outboard performs at its peak.
