The 2025 Yamaha F8 pairs a 212cc SOHC twin-cylinder four stroke with sub-90 lb portability — acceleration-pump throttle response, quiet intake design, and a fold-flat short tiller. A favorite for jon boats, inflatables, and kicker duty. In stock and ready to ship.
Yamaha F8 2025: 8HP Twin-Cylinder Portable Power
The 2025 Yamaha F8 continues the 212cc SOHC two-cylinder four stroke platform that gives this engine 7.5% more displacement than its predecessor and exceptional torque for the 8HP class — all while staying under 90 lbs. Its acceleration pump sharpens throttle response for quick planing, the intake silencer and streamlined manifold keep it quiet, and the shorter tiller folds tight against the cowl for stable storage and transport. F-N-R shifting, forward-mounted controls, a 6-amp alternator, and Yamaha’s carrying handles, resting pads, and on-side storage round out a thoroughly practical package in the mid-power portable class.
