Yamaha F25 2025: Flagship Portable Power, Featherweight Class
The 2025 Yamaha F25 carries the crown as the lightest 25-horsepower outboard on the water — 25% lighter than the generation it replaced. Its 432cc SOHC in-line twin uses battery-less electronic fuel injection, so even pull-start models (aided by automatic decompression) enjoy instant EFI starts and clean running with zero battery weight. Configure it your way: pull or electric start, tiller or remote control, and select 15″ shaft models with Power Trim & Tilt and a tilt-up feature. Offered in pearlescent white, matte brown, or Yamaha gray, it heads the 25HP outboard class for portability-minded boaters.

Benefits
Fuel injection eliminates choke fiddling and carburetor storage headaches while improving economy; the class-lightest weight opens transoms, brackets, and repowers that heavier 25s rule out. It’s the most capable engine you can still realistically handle without machinery.
Applications
15–18 ft aluminum fishing boats, jon boats, flats skiffs, larger RIBs, pontoons, workboats, and weight-sensitive repowers. Lower cost: Yamaha F20 2025.
