The class-leading F60 has been hailed as one of the finest mid-range outboards ever produced. Brilliant fuel economy matched with great torque and power means versatility that is second to none.
Within the F60 is a silky-smooth, 996cc, four-cylinder marine engine, that delivers an excellent power-to-weight ratio and exceptional refinement and fuel-efficiency. Out of the entire 4-cylinder 60 horsepower category, the F60 is the only Japanese Manufactured engine in its class; which boasts the reliability, refinement and quality that Yamaha engines are renowned for.
Utilising Yamaha’s exclusive Multi-Point Fuel Injection System (EFI) and Electronic Control Module (ECM), the F60 delivers impressive power and torque, smooth and comfortable operation, low noise levels and emissions, and the best fuel-economy in its class.

Features
996cc 4-Cylinder Marine Engine
The 1.0 litre, eight-valve, single-overhead camshaft, four-cylinder, long stroke design delivers ultra-smooth, useable power with low noise and vibration levels.
Large Single Throttle Valve
Air flow is precisely delivered to all four cylinders based on the demands of the driver and combustion conditions. The air is pulse-tuned, before it reaches the injectors of the EFI system which promotes a clean and efficient burn for maximum economy and power.
Variable Trolling Control
Yamaha’s variable trolling control allows you to precisely adjust the engine’s idling speed from 650 to 900 RPM in 50 RPM increments. The ability to finely tune the trolling speed allows fisherman to perfect their lure presentation when chasing different species of fish.
Fresh Water Flushing System
Simply connect a hose to the easy access connector to flush salt and dirt from the outboard without having to run the engine. Flushing the engine after each use reduces corrosion and extends the engines life.
Power Trim and Tilt
Yamaha’s push-button trim control makes engine trim and tilt adjustments quick, smooth and easy, across a wide trim range. The negative trim settings allow for improved acceleration and the ability to bring the boat onto the plane more quickly.
Electronic Fuel Injection
The Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, in conjunction with the Engine Control Module (ECM), injects the right amount of fuel into the combustion chamber at the optimum timing. This results in ‘first-time, every-time’ hot and cold starting, improved fuel efficiency and excellent throttle response.
Prime Start
Exclusive to Yamaha, Prime Start makes starting a Yamaha outboard as easy as starting a car. It allows the engine to be started cold by automatically controlling the engine ‘warming up’ process - eliminating the need for a conventional choke. You no longer need to ‘warm up’ your engine by revving it in neutral.
High-Output Alternator
A 12-Volt 16-Amp high-output alternator ensures that power is always available to start the engine, even after long periods of idling or running at low revs. This not only provides extra starting power, but delivers sufficient power to run the wide array of on-board electronic devices used in modern boating.
Rigging Componentry
Conventional - 6Y5 Round Gauges
Yamaha’s conventional digital multi-function gauges provide the real-time data required to maximise outboard performance and fuel efficiency. The two and three gauge illuminated display options provide rpm, trim, oil, speed, distance, time, overheating, battery, fuel economy/flow/consumption stats.
Command Link - 6Y8 Round Gauges
Using Local Area Network (LAN) technology, these digital round gauges provide accurate and real-time tachometer, speed and fuel management stats, including fuel flow/consumption/economy (up to two tanks), trim level, battery voltage, push button trolling speed adjustments and more.
Command Link - 6YC High Definition Gauge
This high definition, colour display uses Local Area Network (LAN) technology to deliver accurate and real-time stats for single and twin engine setups. The customisable day/night gauge delivers information on fuel flow/ economy/ consumption, trim level, battery charge, speed, push button trolling and more.
