Yamaha F9.9LMHB Outboard Motor

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

The Yamaha F9.9LMHB Outboard Motor delivers lightweight, reliable power for boats that need a little extra shaft length without adding complexity. With a 20-inch shaft and simple tiller-steer setup, it’s a great match for sailboats, deeper skiffs, tenders, and utility boats. This 9.9-horsepower four-stroke runs quietly, sips fuel, and offers the kind of day-to-day dependability Yamaha portable motors are known for.

The twist-grip throttle and integrated F-N-R shifting make low-speed handling straightforward, while Yamaha’s oil-retention system helps prevent leaks during transport or horizontal storage. The manual-start system is clean and reliable, and the manual tilt gives you quick control in shallow water or when loading the boat.
