Power your boat with the Yamaha F50 50HP Outboard Motor, engineered to deliver responsive acceleration, efficient fuel consumption, dependable power, and smooth operation for inshore fishing and recreational boating.
The Yamaha F50 features a 1.0-liter, four-cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection and single-overhead-camshaft technology. Inspired by Yamaha’s performance-focused midrange engineering, this outboard combines lightweight construction with strong power delivery and practical efficiency.
The standard Yamaha F50 uses a 20-inch shaft, weighs approximately 247 pounds, and features a 16-amp alternator. Its compact configuration makes it suitable for compatible aluminum fishing boats, small center consoles, skiffs, utility boats, and other vessels designed for a 50HP outboard.
Depending on the selected gauge and control configuration, the F50 can support Yamaha’s optional Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS), providing anglers with additional control over slow-speed operation.
The Yamaha F50 is available in three finishes: Yamaha Gray, Pearl White, and Matte Brown. Customers who need more thrust for heavier loads can also consider the T50 High-Thrust model, which uses a specialized lower unit for appropriate applications.
With electric starting, remote mechanical controls, power trim and tilt, and optional trolling-speed functionality, the Yamaha F50 50HP Outboard is a versatile choice for compatible fishing and recreational vessels.

Why Choose the Yamaha F50 50HP?
The Yamaha F50 50HP Outboard Motor is designed for boat owners who need dependable midrange power, responsive handling, and efficient four-stroke performance.
Its 1.0-liter four-cylinder engine provides a practical balance of horsepower and weight. Electronic fuel injection helps manage fuel delivery, while the 16-amp alternator supplies charging capacity for compatible batteries and onboard accessories.
The three color options allow customers to match the outboard to their boat, while optional Variable Trolling RPM can provide useful control for fishing applications when supported by the selected equipment and rigging.
For applications requiring a dedicated high-thrust configuration, the T50 offers an alternative designed for appropriate heavy-load uses.
1.0-Liter Four-Cylinder EFI Engine
The Yamaha F50 features a 1.0-liter inline-four engine with electronic fuel injection.
Its single-overhead-camshaft design provides a compact engine layout, while EFI supports controlled fuel delivery and responsive performance. This makes the F50 a practical choice for compatible boats requiring 50HP propulsion.
Lightweight 50HP Performance
The standard Yamaha F50 weighs approximately 247 pounds.
Its lightweight design helps make it suitable for compatible smaller fishing boats and recreational craft where engine weight and boat balance are important considerations.
Actual performance depends on hull design, propeller selection, loading, water conditions, and engine setup.
20-Inch Shaft Configuration
The Yamaha F50 features a 20-inch shaft, designed for compatible boats with the corresponding transom configuration.
Selecting the correct shaft length is essential for proper mounting and engine operation. Customers should verify their boat’s transom height and manufacturer’s recommended shaft length before purchase.
16-Amp Charging System
The Yamaha F50 features a 16-amp alternator output at wide-open throttle, providing charging capacity for the boat’s battery and compatible electrical equipment.
This can be useful for inshore fishing boats equipped with navigation systems, fish finders, radios, lighting, and other onboard accessories. Actual charging output varies with engine speed and electrical load.
Optional Variable Trolling RPM
The Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS) is an optional feature depending on the chosen control system, gauge, and rigging.
This feature can help anglers make controlled trolling-speed adjustments when fishing inshore or maintaining a slow, steady boat speed. Customers should confirm which compatible switch, gauge, or equipment is required before ordering.
Three Available Color Options
The standard Yamaha F50 is available in three finishes:
Yamaha Gray – F50LC: Traditional Yamaha appearance.
Pearl White – F50LC2: A clean white finish for modern boat designs.
Matte Brown – F50LC3: An alternative matte finish for customers seeking a distinctive appearance.
The model code and MSRP vary by color, so customers should confirm the selected version when ordering.
T50 High-Thrust Alternative
The Yamaha T50 High Thrust is designed for applications that benefit from a dedicated high-thrust configuration.
The T50LC is listed with a 20-inch shaft, remote mechanical controls, power trim and tilt, and a high-thrust lower unit.
It can be a suitable alternative for compatible boats that need the appropriate thrust configuration for heavier loads. Customers should verify the vessel, load, and intended use before choosing between the regular F50 and T50 High Thrust.
Remote Controls and Power Trim & Tilt
The standard Yamaha F50LC, F50LC2, and F50LC3 models are equipped with remote mechanical controls and power trim and tilt.
Remote controls allow the operator to control the engine from a compatible helm, while power trim and tilt provides convenient adjustment of the outboard’s position during operation, launching, and storage.
Customers should confirm the controls, cables, steering system, gauges, propeller, and other rigging equipment required for their particular vessel.
