Yamaha F9.9 Portable Outboard Motor 2025 – 9.9HP Four Stroke

Yamaha F9.9 2025: America’s Favorite 9.9 Keeps Getting Better

The 2025 Yamaha F9.9 builds on the 212cc SOHC twin-cylinder four stroke that made this the go-to 9.9HP portable in the USA. Under 90 lbs with one of the best power-to-weight ratios in the class, it offers manual or electric start, optional power tilt, and for 2025 the platform is also offered with pearlescent white styling — plus the high-thrust T9.9 variant for kicker duty on multi-species boats. The shorter tiller folds tight to the cowl for storage, the acceleration pump keeps throttle response crisp, and the intake silencer keeps things quiet. It leads the 9.9HP outboard class for good reason.
