2019 Yamaha 60 HP F60LB Outboard Motor

Rated at 247 lbs, this 2019 Yamaha F60LB runs a remote mechanical steering cable to the console and starts on a turn of the key, on a 20-inch shaft, powered by a 996cc four-cylinder fed through electronic fuel injection. Full throttle on the F60LB holds between 5000 and 6000 rpm.

Who it suits

Console-steered boats already wired for a battery at the stern and rigged with steering cable are the straightforward fit for the F60LB, assuming the transom calls for a 20-inch shaft specifically. This unit is sold new, carrying Yamaha's standard coverage for a motor of this kind, and the 996cc block runs smoothly thanks to the balance of four cylinders rather than two or three.

Before you order

Measure from the top of the transom to the keel to confirm 20 inches is correct for the F60LB before ordering; Yamaha also builds this 60 hp block into jet and high-thrust variants sold as separate listings, so do not assume they are interchangeable with this one. Rigging a boat for the first time with remote controls takes more planning than bolting on a tiller motor.

Common questions

Does this have a tiller handle? No, the F60LB ships wired for a remote mechanical console setup.

What is covered under warranty? The F60LB carries Yamaha's 3-year coverage from the purchase date as new stock.

Is the F60LB fuel injected? Yes, it runs electronic fuel injection rather than a carburetor.
