The New F20 EFI portable outboard, built on the same award-winning platform as the F25, sees many of Yamaha’s larger engine technologies introduced to this smaller engine platform.
The new F20 now comes with both battery and battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) options, for enhanced fuel economy, power and operating performance.
Other features include the introduction of variable trolling to allow for the perfect lure presentation, increased displacement from 362 to 432 cm3, and a high-output alternator which sees a 60% increase in output to meet additional electronic equipment power demand.
This engine comes in a number of configurations, including battery-less EFI, manual start and/or electric start, manual tilt or power tilt, and now with a new smaller and shorter multi-function tiller handle for the power tilt option.
F20
Features & Rigging Componentry
Battery-Less Fuel Injection
The F20's battery-less fuel injection system makes engine set-up more simple and convenient for pull-start models. The system takes into account engine requirements to achieve maximum engine performance including ‘first-time, every-time’ hot and cold starting.
New Purpose-Built Multi-Function Tiller Handle
The F20 with Power Tilt (PT) model (long shaft only), now features a new tiller handle that is shorter and smaller, giving small boat owners more choice and the option to select a premium featured engine for their hull.
Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS)
Standard on all F20 models, the Variable Trolling RPM Switch, located on the tiller handle, allows you to set the perfect speed for trolling your favourite lure. Speed can be fine tuned, up or down, in 50 RPM increments.
432cc Two-Cylinder
The four-valve, two-cylinder, Single Overhead Camshaft delivers sufficient torque from low to mid speed ranges for a quick response and smooth running.
Digital Gauges Compatible
The F20 is fully compatible with Yamaha's Digital Network Gauges (Command Link), giving you the information needed to maximise engine performance and efficiency. This engine is also NMEA2000 compatible allowing the F20 to share information with third party multi-function displays, GPS and fish finders.
Fresh Water Flushing System
Simply connect a hose to the easy access connector to flush salt and dirt from the outboard without having to run the engine. Flushing the engine after each usage reduces corrosion and extends the engines life.
High-Output Alternator
A 16 Amp high-output alternator ensures that power is always available to start the engine, even after long periods of idling or running at low revs. This not only provides extra starting power, but delivers sufficient power to run the wide array of on-board electronic devices used in modern boating. (Battery charging kit optional)
Power Tilt
Yamaha’s push-button control makes engine tilt adjustments quick, smooth and easy, across a wide range (Power Tilt model only).
Wide Span Mounting System
The large rubber mounts and the wide length between the mounts help to reduce engine vibration.
Anti-Corrosion Paint System
Yamaha engines are known for their durability and high re-sale value. Part of this lies in the anti-corrosion protection. A unique YDC-30 aluminium alloy and 5-stage exterior paint coating process protects the engine's exterior parts, while high-quality, marine-grade stainless steel componentry is used through-out.
Conventional - 6Y5 Round Gauges
Yamaha’s most affordable Tachometer and Speedometer gauges offer RPM, Trim Angle, Oil Pressure, Overheat Warning, Trip Hours, Total Operating Hours, Speed, Trip Distance, Time, Fuel Level, Low-Fuel Warning and Battery Voltage/Warning.
