Lightweight, Reliable and Ready for Adventure
The Yamaha F5 5HP Four-Stroke Outboard is a compact, economical and dependable little engine, ideal for dinghies, tenders, inflatables and small aluminium boats. Offering a little more power than the F4 while retaining the same lightweight design, the F5 is a great choice for getting out on the water without the hassle of a larger outboard.
Powered by Yamaha's proven 139cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, the F5 delivers smooth, efficient performance with easy starting and straightforward operation. Its built-in 1.1-litre fuel tank keeps things simple for shorter trips, while the option of connecting an external fuel tank provides additional range when needed.
Weighing just 27kg in the short-shaft version, the F5 is designed with portability in mind. Convenient carrying handles, a folding tiller and Yamaha's three-way storage system make it easy to transport and store between outings.
Whether you're heading ashore from your yacht, exploring the bays or powering a small fishing boat, the Yamaha F5 offers reliable performance in a practical, easy-to-manage package.
