2019 Yamaha 60 HP T60LB Outboard Motor

This 2019 Yamaha T60LB is the high-thrust edition of Yamaha's 60 hp four-cylinder four-stroke, built on the same 996cc EFI block and 20-inch shaft as the standard F60LB but carrying a heavier gearcase at 256 lbs.

Who it suits

Pontoons, houseboats and other heavy, slow-moving hulls are where the T60LB's high-thrust gearcase earns its keep, since it favors low-speed bite over outright top end. If your boat is light and speed-focused, the standard gearcase on this same platform is likely the better match for everyday running.

Before you order

Remote mechanical steering and electric start carry over unchanged on the T60LB, and full throttle is rated from 5000 to 6000 rpm. Confirm the 20-inch shaft length fits your transom, since this high-thrust gearcase is not offered on every shaft length Yamaha sells for this engine family, and the added bulk of the gearcase can change how the stern sits at rest. Pair it with a prop sized for low-speed pulling power rather than top-end running.

Common questions

Is this slower than a standard 60 hp? Top speed is typically lower on the T60LB, in exchange for stronger low-rpm thrust.

Is a warranty included? Yes, the T60LB carries Yamaha's 3-year coverage since it ships new.

Does the T60LB use the same fuel system as the F60LB? Yes, both run electronic fuel injection on the shared 996cc block.
