Lightweight Performance with Electric Start and Power Tilt
The Yamaha F20WPH 20HP Four-Stroke Outboard packs plenty of performance into a compact, easy-to-use package. Featuring electronic fuel injection (EFI), electric start, power tilt and tiller steering, the F20WPH is an excellent choice for small aluminium fishing boats, inflatables and recreational runabouts.
Powered by Yamaha's 432cc twin-cylinder four-stroke engine, the F20 delivers smooth acceleration, responsive power and excellent fuel economy. Built on the same proven platform as Yamaha's F25, it brings features normally found on larger outboards into the portable 20HP range.
The F20WPH features both electric and manual starting, giving you the convenience of push-button starting with the reassurance of a manual backup. Its electronic fuel injection system automatically manages fuel delivery for reliable starting and efficient operation.
One of the biggest advantages of the F20WPH is its power tilt system. At the push of a button, you can raise or lower the engine, making launching, retrieving and operating in shallow water considerably easier.
For anglers, Yamaha's Variable Trolling Speed (VTS) system allows engine speed to be adjusted in 50 RPM increments, helping you maintain the ideal trolling speed when fishing.
Whether you're heading out for a day's fishing or exploring the sheltered bays and waterways of Northland, the Yamaha F20WPH delivers a great balance of performance, convenience and reliability.

Why Choose the Yamaha F20WPH?
The F20WPH offers several advantages over a basic manual-start outboard.
Electric Start Convenience
No need to pull a starter cord every time you head out. Electric starting makes getting underway quick and easy, while the manual backup provides extra peace of mind.
Power Tilt
Particularly useful for boats regularly launched from trailers or operated around shallow beaches, the power tilt system takes the effort out of raising and lowering the engine.
Electronic Fuel Injection
Yamaha's EFI system provides reliable starting, smooth throttle response and efficient fuel delivery without the adjustments associated with a conventional carburettor.
Ideal for Fishing
With Variable Trolling Speed, responsive low-speed performance and economical four-stroke operation, the F20WPH is well suited to fishing around Northland's coastline, harbours and estuaries.
