2017 Yamaha F20 LEHA Outboard Motor

This F20 LEHA runs the same 362cc, 20 hp SOHC engine and 20-inch shaft as its LEA relative, but lists a dry weight of 121 lbs, a few pounds over that sibling, with manual or electric starting carried over unchanged.

Why the extra weight is worth knowing

A handful of pounds rarely changes how a boat handles, but it can matter against a hoist rating or a trailer-tongue weight limit, so it's worth confirming against your own equipment rather than assuming parity with lighter trims on the same engine. Steering reaches a full 45 degrees off center either way, the tilt bracket offers four stops spanning 67 up to 71 degrees, and the gear case reduces at a 2.08:1 ratio.

Mounting centers land at 28.6 inches, and compression sits at 9.3:1 on this engine.

A few extra pounds on the same shaft rarely change how a hull rides, but the detail is still worth matching against a trailer's tongue-weight limit before deciding between this LEHA and its lighter sibling.
