Yamaha 175HP | F175LA

Remote mechanical controls, electric start, and a 20-inch shaft come on the Yamaha F175LA, a 175 hp four-cylinder four-stroke sold new. EFI feeds 2785cc of displacement, and the whole package weighs 483 lbs.

Who it suits

At 175 hp this sits toward the top of Yamaha's inline four-cylinder range, suited to boats that want more top-end speed and towing power than a smaller four-cylinder offers, while staying lighter than a six-cylinder engine. It is built for console-steered boats through remote mechanical controls rather than tiller operation, which fits larger runabouts and center consoles better than small skiffs.

Before you order

Have the transom height measured and ready to compare against this engine's 20-inch shaft, and confirm the boat's existing throttle and shift cables are the remote mechanical type this engine uses rather than a digital system.

Rigging notes

Because control is remote rather than tiller, plan for a console gauge set and binnacle controls sized for this horsepower class, matched to the throttle and shift cable runs already noted. A boat already rigged for another four-cylinder Yamaha in this power range should need only minor changes to accept this one.
