Compact, Lightweight and Ready for Adventure
The Yamaha F6 6HP Four-Stroke Outboard delivers dependable performance in a compact, portable package. Ideal for dinghies, yacht tenders, inflatables and small aluminium boats, the F6 offers that little bit of extra power while remaining lightweight, economical and easy to handle.
Powered by Yamaha's proven 139cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, the F6 provides smooth, efficient operation with reliable manual starting. Its built-in 1.1-litre fuel tank keeps things simple for shorter trips, while the ability to connect an external fuel tank gives you the flexibility to travel further without constantly refuelling.
Weighing just 27kg in the short-shaft version, the F6 is designed with portability in mind. Convenient carrying handles, a folding tiller and Yamaha's three-way storage system make transporting and storing the engine straightforward.
Whether you're heading ashore from your yacht, exploring the Bay of Islands or heading out for a spot of fishing, the Yamaha F6 is a practical choice for boat owners wanting reliable performance without the weight and complexity of a larger outboard.
