Yamaha F15 2025: The Fuel-Efficiency Leader in 15HP Portables
The 2025 Yamaha F15 continues the 362cc SOHC in-line twin-cylinder four stroke formula: a single carburetor paired with a CDI Microcomputer Ignition System that constantly adjusts timing for maximum performance, economy, and power — making it one of the most fuel-efficient 15HP outboards available. At 111 lbs it suits lightweight craft like aluminum fishing boats, tenders, and inflatables, while its two-valve-per-cylinder SOHC head, balanced crankshaft, labyrinth exhaust, acceleration pump, and intake silencer deliver smooth, quiet, responsive power. A standout in the 15HP outboard class.
