Smooth Four-Cylinder Power, Outstanding Fuel Economy & Legendary Yamaha Reliability
The Yamaha F60LB 60HP Four-Stroke Outboard is a fantastic all-round engine, offering an excellent combination of performance, fuel efficiency and reliability. Whether you're heading out for a day's fishing, exploring the Bay of Islands or enjoying time on the water with family and friends, the F60 delivers the power and performance you need.
At the heart of the F60 is Yamaha's proven 996cc, four-cylinder SOHC four-stroke engine. Its four-cylinder design provides exceptionally smooth operation, low vibration and responsive acceleration, making it an excellent choice for aluminium fishing boats, runabouts and recreational vessels.
Featuring Yamaha's Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, the F60 delivers precise fuel management, easy starting and impressive fuel economy. Yamaha's Prime Start system also takes the hassle out of cold starts, automatically managing the warm-up process without the need for a conventional choke.
With electric start, power trim and tilt, and remote steering controls, the F60LB is equally suited to new boat packages or repowering an existing boat.
