2020 Yamaha 9.9 HP F9.9LMHB Outboard Motor

This 2020 Yamaha F9.9LMHB packs 9.9 hp from two cylinders in a four-stroke design, offered with either manual or electric starting on a 15-inch or 20-inch shaft. Dry weight on the F9.9LMHB runs 87 lbs on the 15-inch shaft and 93 lbs on the 20-inch shaft, with a 212cc carbureted block behind either configuration.

Who it suits

This platform is popular enough that Yamaha also builds it as a high-thrust T9.9 with a 25-inch shaft option, but the F9.9LMHB covers everyday kicker and small-boat duty on 15 or 20-inch transoms, with either a tiller handle or a remote mechanical hookup depending on preference.

Before you order

Confirm which shaft length your transom needs before ordering the F9.9LMHB, since the two lengths carry different weights. A 10-micron fuel and water separating filter is recommended ahead of the carburetor, tilt reaches 71 degrees, and trim runs from negative 4 to positive 16 degrees on either configuration.

Common questions
