2019 Yamaha 75 HP F75LB Outboard Motor

At 353 lbs, this 2019 Yamaha F75LB is noticeably heavier than Yamaha's smaller four-cylinder outboards, built around its own larger 1832cc block rather than a tuned-up version of a smaller engine. The F75LB runs on a 20-inch shaft with a console steering cable and electric start.

Who it suits

Because the F75LB uses its own dedicated displacement, it suits hulls specifically rated for 75 hp rather than boats simply looking to squeeze more output from a lighter four-cylinder mount; check your boat's rated transom weight before stepping up to an engine this size. The added bulk of a larger block also shifts stern balance slightly compared with a lighter mount.

Before you order

Confirm a 20-inch shaft fits your transom, and that your console already carries remote mechanical steering cable and electric-start wiring, since the F75LB is not built as a tiller-handle motor.
