Yamaha F15LPHA 15HP Outboard Motor - 20" Shaft

The Yamaha F15LPHA Outboard Motor brings a surprising amount of convenience to the 15-horsepower class. With remote control capability, electric start, and power tilt, it's built for boaters who want small-engine portability but with the ease and comfort normally found on larger setups. The 20-inch shaft makes it a solid choice for skiffs, inflatables, jon boats, and smaller pontoons that sit a little higher at the transom.

Powered by a smooth two-cylinder 4-stroke, the F15LPHA runs quietly and delivers steady low-end torque—great for easing through tight channels or pushing a small load without drama. Power tilt makes life easier when launching, loading, or working in shallow spots, and remote control compatibility allows the engine to integrate cleanly with a helm-mounted throttle and shift system (sold separately).
