Yamaha F6LMHA 6HP Outboard Motor - 20" Shaft

The Yamaha F6LMHA delivers quiet, efficient 6-horsepower performance in a portable long-shaft design built for sailboats, small skiffs, and deeper-transom inflatables. Weighing about 60 lbs., it's easy to handle, starts reliably, and offers smooth control through its twist-grip throttle and forward-neutral-reverse shifting.
