2017 Yamaha F20 LPHA Outboard Motor

This F20 LPHA tops the 2017 long-shaft trims at a listed 60kg dry; under the cowling sits the familiar 20 hp, 362cc, two-cylinder SOHC block shared with the LEA, LEHA and LMHA builds, on the same 20-inch shaft.

Converting and confirming before you order

Convert 60kg to the unit you plan to use for sizing a hoist or checking transom and trailer ratings, since it's given only in kilograms on this listing. Drive reduces through a 2.08:1 gear set, compression holds at 9.3:1, the tilt bracket runs four stops from 67 to 71 degrees, bolt spacing for the transom mount comes in at 28.6 inches, and steering reaches 45 degrees off center each way.

Fuel delivery runs through a single carburetor with CDI microcomputer ignition on this engine.

Because this listing gives weight only in kilograms rather than pounds, it is worth converting it yourself and double-checking against whatever unit your hoist, trailer or transom rating uses before committing to it.

Questions buyers ask

What starting options does it offer? Manual or electric start.

What's the warranty? This engine's warranty gives 3 years for pleasure and government use and 1 year for commercial use.

What's the oil capacity? 1.8 liters of oil with the filter on, 1.6 liters with it removed.

Why give weight only in kilograms? That is simply how this particular listing records it; converting it yourself before ordering avoids any confusion with a hoist rated in pounds.
