Awesome video for my current needs. I appreciate the high resolution camera too! Thanks a bunch! I just ordered the same engine but with electric start. Now I'll know exactly what to expect with my first startup...
Thanks a lot for this video.The only video on the net where we can really see the engine portability. It is very useful to see how you can manipulate the engine by yourself. Good job!!
FAN-tastic video and incredibly helpful! Thank you for taking the time to prepare such a detailed video. I purchased a new F25LMHC motor from an on-line merchant just this past week, and it was delivered here 20-minutes after I watched this helpful video this very morning. It helped me to feel more secure about the external packaging, and whether the motor that was delivered, was in-fact previously unopened and brand new. And your pointers on new motor prep was just an added bonus! Thanks again. However, like you, mine did not include a fuel tank either, and yet most other unboxing videos showed a red plastic fuel tank enclosed along with the motor in the packaging, and that's a bit frustrating, since those tanks are $135+.
AWESOME DUDE my T50 will be here on Tuesday can't wait I'm 67 years old and this will be my first new Motor I've had used my whole life 11 of them and had to work my ass off to keep them running in the lakes here in Maine finally I can afford a brand new one that will last me the rest of my life as there is a lot more salmon that I need to catch and release that I need to do before my time is up! I just as exited as you!!!👍
Thank you so much for this video! I cannot express enough how useful your video is. I've been asking in chandleries whether this motor is portable or not. Some told me that it is, depending on how strong the user is. Others told me that it definitely isn't portable at all, and even advised me not to buy it if it isn't going to be mounted on the transom permanently. And thanks to you, sir, I KNOW a single person can carry it around quite comfortably. As someone pointed it already, this is currently the only video on YT showing the evidence that it is portable. Well done!
Just got the F25SWHC, the electric start version! I am picking up the Tracker 1542 tomorrow! Thanks for the informative videos! I see you launched on C14, maybe see you out there one day!
I have the exact same motor except I have electric start. The way that it starts the only reason electric start is a bilge pump. My only complaint is that there’s no key so it would be very easy to steal, also power trim would be nice. Love my motor
Just the clamps. The next boat will be getting the TH Marine hydraulic trim plate and I’ll bolt it down to that, but as for this boat the clamps are more than sufficient. I check them before I tow the boat and before launching and they rarely need to be tightened. If they do it’s an 1/8th of a turn. Barely anything.
hello, please tell me which oil in your opinion is better: Tohatsu Outboard 4-Stroke 10W-40 Oil vs MOTUL Outboard Tech 4T 10W-40? What is the oil in your engine?
As a new subscriber, I just found this. Great motor! Here’s a tip to keep it clean inside though... every few outings run some salt terminator through it when flushing. It leaves a coating behind that helps prevent corrosion on the inside.
james mcnaughton not unnecessary, I’ve seen the inner workings of more engines than I care to count. The stuff works and is not made by Yamaha. I use it in my own engines and will continue to. There are some gimmicks out there, that I can agree on but salt terminator is not one of them. Nor is ring free which is sold by Yamaha.
Yes it is absolutely unnecessary, I've been a commercial fisherman my whole life, I've seen outboard engines with 6,000 hours that have NEVER been flushed with those products nor have been flushed with even fresh water, not once, being kept on a mooring or a dock and not brought home and still ran fine until the day they were sold, but I guess you know more
james mcnaughton I’ve been a marine tech for over two decades so I think I am qualified. Just because it works doesn’t mean it can’t work better? I am not saying one has to use the product, I am simply recommending it. It would take many years for most folks to see a couple thousand hrs from an engine where a commercial boat is going to rack them up pretty quickly. I apologize if my being kind and offering my sound, educated, experienced, thoughtful advise to folks offended you. Take care, God bless!🙏
Thanks for the vid. I put a down payment on the 20HP version of this, should be arriving in 4-5 weeks (hopefully). They were so hard to find, everyone is back ordered but I got lucky.
For everyone asking, the MSRP on this outboard is $3310.00. This is the basic model. No power trim, no electric start. You have to order directly from a Yamaha dealer and pick it up from them. You cannot just buy a Yamaha outboard online and have it get shipped to you.
My 9.9 Evinrude was indestructible. Underwater many times and if not running when would start like brand new. You could even just rotate flywheel by hand, no cord, and presto, it ran. Looking forward to a 4 cycle model someday.
Great video. Can you explain how to use that switch under the gear shift. Im saving for a 15hp longshaft do you know if they are fitted to these, thanks.
The switch is for adjusting your idle speed up or down in 100 rpm increments to control how fast you troll when the motor is idling. The motor is very popular to be used as a kicker on larger boats. They use the smaller motor to troll so it doesn't increase the hours on their large motors, and it uses less fuel. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe the 15hp has the switch. I do know it comes on the 20, and 25hp models.
No, the discharge is the same in the water. I unscrewed the hose that is on the outside of the motor and there is a lot of water flow. It just doesn't come out the weep hole that fast. The manual says that if the engine overheats it will automatically cut the ignition so you can't rev it. On top of that, I called Yamaha to make sure and they advised the flow is normal.
Hi! I have a new/stored/never used before 2013 f9.9 which I will be running for its very first time and wanted to ask you, the port on top where the water hose connects to flush the engine, when do I do that? After bringing my boat back from the sea? Also, I’m confused if to buy the headset looking device or to run the engine on a bucket of water? Sorry for the noob questions, it’s my first outboard. Your boat is going to fly with that 25!
I don’t believe connecting a hose at the top is the correct way to flush the engine. I always flush the engine using the headset over the water intake ports at the bottom so the water pump impeller is lubricated with water and. Of ran dry. I would flush the motor after every use in salt water.
FloBass I found it, it’s called a flushing device and it’s a garden hose connector next to the choke knob. Maybe the newer engines like yours, don’t have it/need it. Anyways, it is used for “flushing the power unit after operation for the most thorough flushing”. But it’s “not to be done while the engine is running as the water pump may be damaged and severe damage can occur from over-heating”. I was just confused between the two procedures: running the engine with the headsets vs in a tank/bucket. The flushing with the water hose up top is an extra step and should never be done with the engine on.
Foo bass how much does one cost roughly?? I have an older 35 hp Johnson 2 stroke that I run on my 1979 18’ flat bottom boat & it pushes that boat right around at about 20 or 25 miles an hour!!! Pretty fast if you ask me!!! The guy that gave it to me had a 95 hp six cylinder outboard motor on it!! I thought that was a little to big so that’s when I found the 35 I like it but it’s definitely no fuel injection which probably makes a big difference!!! Let me no what you think of your 25hp & if you think it’s enough motor for your 14’ johnboat??? Thanks I’ve been just wondering if it would be worth the upgrade or not!!
Does your Yamaha F25 have power trim? I am looking to get the same motor for a Lowe 1648 aura and the dealer closest to me says they don’t make a 25 long shaft (20in) tiller with power trim but they do with the 15in,... but they make a 20 hp (F20) with long shaft with power trim. Do you think power trim is worth having or not? Tia.
FloBass ok thanks. That’s what I was thinking. Is your F25 a short shaft (15in) tiller than? Like I said the dealer said they don’t make a 20in long shaft with power trim which is dumb.
How is the vibration ? the tiller handle seems to be moving a lot.is it better in gear or worse and does the rpm button help smooth it out I’m thinking maby a merc 3 cylinder But I like the weight for this engine
The motor does not vibrate more than any other tiller outboard I've operated. You barely notice it at idle, and as soon as you increase rpm the little vibration goes away and its smooth.
Kind of a random question about this motor. I'm wondering if it is to big for portability such as used on an inflatable, picking it up and putting it in the back of my suburban. What are you thoughts? Second question, how how long is the motor from bottom to tip of tiller folded up? Want to know if I could transport in the back of the Suburban. I would go to a dealer to measure myself but no one has any in stock. Thank you, great overview of this engine, best online.
I'd say it's too heavy for an inflatable. It's something like 127lbs. It's a pain to take it off and move it around. I can fit it in my volkswagen with the rear seats folded down. A suburban would have plenty of room. For an inflatable you'd probably want something like a 9.9hp. You'll go about 22mph and its very portable.
@@FloBassI really appreciate the info.I needed to hear from someone who owns an F25. I would of hated to buy one and regretted it. My inflatable is actually rated up to a 30hp (which is crazy), it's pretty big boat. I think I might go with a Tohatsu 20hp which is more manageable at 95 lbs. Thanks again!
I see. If you’re boat is rated for a 30, then you might want to go with that hp. Always use the biggest hammer to complete the work. But if you’re going to be removing it, a lighter motor is better, I think. All the weight is at the top and on the F25 the handles are below the power head and makes it difficult to carry without the motor wanting to pivot and flip while you’re carrying it.
Hi. A beautiful outboard. By the looks of it, the engine came right to your house? Did you not go thru a dealer? What's the warranty coverage on the 25? How does a 25 compare to the 15? I estimate cost for a 15 to be around $3300. Does the 25 come in much higher? Thx you.
I picked it up from my dealer. Barely fit in the back of my volkswagen. MSRP on this motor is $3300 USD. Its as basic as it gets. Manual trim. Pull start.
1-12-23 I just put a down payment on the Yamaha 25 hp electric start with power trim and tilt with a 20 inch shaft (long shaft). The tax was 350.00 and the total came to 5,400.00. It's supposed to ship in May. I'm repowering a 15ft Lowe boat (that's a deep V). I'm very excited to receive it! I'm studying all the videos and info on it. Good Times!
I have the same engine on my 11 ft whaler, but mine has electric start and throttle shifter. I run it in a plastic trash can...pees much better. Great engine!
The stream out of the weep hole is the same in the water as what’s in this video. One you increase rpm the stream pushes just as hard as any other outboard. Yamaha verified this is standard operation for the F25.
That’s a matter of opinion. Neither is better than the other. There are plenty of videos that talk about 2 stroke vs 4 stroke outboards. You should learn about their differences to determine which will work better for you, your boat, and what you plan on doing.
Hello... nice motor... i have a question if u don't mind me asking, cause i got a 10ft zodiac, is it better if i put a long shaft or short shaft on it? Thank you. Is your 9.9hp long shaft or short one? Ty
You need to match the motor to what your boat manufacturer specifies. Typically if you have a 15” transom then you need a short shaft motor. If you have a 20” transom, then a long shaft.
I used to have the 25hp Yamaha 4-stroke with power tilt in the early 2000’s ☀️the weight of the engine was 70kg! I’m guessing this one is a lot lighter
The tachometer I had recorded hours, but it only lasted a week and no longer works. I’m not worried about hours. This motor is amazing. Now that I’ve had it for 5 months I’m used to it and want to go faster... lol
Hey, I am looking for a powerful engine to put on my reinforced 3m tinny. I am debating whether to get this 25hp Yamaha or the Mercury 20hp efi. I want to be able to shaft sit/womp and spray. Thanks in advance
You're trying to compare a 2 stroke/kerosene fueled commercial outboard to my 4 stroke, portable outboard designed and marketed for personal watercraft? Apples to avocados, Sam Tate.
Hey just a question. I got a old 25horse Evinrude that weighs less than 100lbs and a 2019 1436 alumacraft. Its Max recommended hp is 15 you think I'll be good as far as stock transom?
That was my tracker 1436 that cracked. The transom was plywood with an outer layer of aluminum. Very thin. I sandwiched the factory transom with another sheet of aluminum along with welding another sheet of aluminum to the floor. Then used a 2x4 block of aluminum as the brace from the floor to the transom. It wouldn’t flex even a millimeter with the 25hp after that.
@@bipedalhominid6815 The guy of this channel looks like having experience and not all the dealers offer the same, after- purchase service and guarantee, spare parts availability, etc. So a recommendation from him would come in handy for new buyers. But looks like the guy does not want compromises, totally understandable!... And do you understand my point?..
For a fabulous boating trip, take 2-4 weeks and travel the great Trent/Severn waterway system in Ontario, Canada. Starting from Picton on the eastern end of Lake Ontario, you can go through numerous lakes rivers PLUS many locks (including the incredible Peterborough Lift Locks) all the way to Georgian Bay. Plenty of places to stop for supplies and fuel AND there are lakefront restaurants, motels, campgrounds, etc. I did the trip several years ago and it was amazing. One tip...avoid Just and early August because there CAN be long wait times at some of the locks. p.s. Go on You Tube an call up Big Chute, also part of the system.
That's awesome. I know you have been looking forward to it

Could you make a video on the welded transom reinforcement please. Thanks
Good looking but I just got that John boat I was saying I was getting thank you for inspiring me to get it

Hell yea brotha.
Best dam motors out there break it in how your gonna run it 👍
Would love to see an on water review! Great vid. Thanks from Australia.
I posted a speed test about a week ago. Check it out!
How much the price t.y
Love yamaha engines! Is it a shaort or long shaft? What boat is that?
thank you, the video is very good and inspired for youtube beginners greetings from aceh-simeulue
Hey. Great engine. What is the max speed you have achieved with Yami 25 hp ?
You never can go wrong with a Yamaha, definitely the best brand out there!!
Truth!
What about Honda? I'm looking to purchase one for crabbing on an inflatable on salt water. What are the differences?
Nice boat.
I bought the same motor spring 2018 and I love it on my 14ft inflatable boat.
It must fly on an inflatable!
FloBass you bolt yours down or rely solely on the clamps? I have mine on clamp only but I’m nervous about it coming loose..
Just the clamps. The next boat will be getting the TH Marine hydraulic trim plate and I’ll bolt it down to that, but as for this boat the clamps are more than sufficient. I check them before I tow the boat and before launching and they rarely need to be tightened. If they do it’s an 1/8th of a turn. Barely anything.
Can u please tell me what is the fuel consumption.
In 10 liter octane how far I can go...?
I need help how much is it? Thank you
I wish yamaha would make a light 30-40 hp.
Nice video I love Yamaha motors
Very good video... thanks a lot
Don't have or ever owned a boat. But enjoyed the video. Thanks
parabens lindo motor e muito potente tambem.
Hello. I bought a similar model and it gives water out and next to the cooling indicator, there is a black square where gas comes out, is it ok?
Nice engines. I have a 15hp of this type and I like it. Quiet, low on fuel consumption, good emissions etc. Have fun!
This one definitely burns more fuel than my 9.9. Fuel bill is still cheaper than a bass boat though.
hello, please tell me which oil in your opinion is better: Tohatsu Outboard 4-Stroke 10W-40 Oil vs MOTUL Outboard Tech 4T 10W-40? What is the oil in your engine?
As a new subscriber, I just found this. Great motor! Here’s a tip to keep it clean inside though... every few outings run some salt terminator through it when flushing. It leaves a coating behind that helps prevent corrosion on the inside.

so with the boat ,and trailer, and 25 hp Yamaha motor, what's the total price you have in it.
Can you please tell me who welded your transom support and the cost ? Also your pump that you choose for water extraction? Thanks for your content 👍🏽
Hutches Welding. Check him out on instagram and request a quote for whatever you need.
Great video. Can you explain how to use that switch under the gear shift. Im saving for a 15hp longshaft do you know if they are fitted to these, thanks.

What kind of boat do you have?
Did the water pump discharge stream increase when you got the boat in the water? Seemed a bit weak on the ear muffs for testing. Nice motor.

- this machine use power mot use gasoline?
Does your Yamaha F25 have power trim? I am looking to get the same motor for a Lowe 1648 aura and the dealer closest to me says they don’t make a 25 long shaft (20in) tiller with power trim but they do with the 15in,... but they make a 20 hp (F20) with long shaft with power trim.

Definitely get one with power trim. I regret not spending the extra money to get it.

Pretty cool vid. Are you selling your 9.9 if not already sold. If so which state are you located in?
9.9 is long gone.
did you have your transom reinforced or is that how it came ? i have a 1436 tracker with a mercury 15hp four stroke transom seems to flex a little bit
My transom cracked with the 9.9 so I had it repaired to where it no longer flexes.
I’ll d

How heavy is your boat? I currently rock a 15hp Yamaha, but I’m looking at maxing out to the 25hp since it’s only heavier by 15lbs or so. 🤔
According to trackers website the 1436 is 162 pounds. Mines a little heavier with the fabricated transom since the original was cracked.

I picked it up from my dealer. Barely fit in the back of my volkswagen. MSRP on this motor is $3300 USD. Its as basic as it gets. Manual trim. Pull start.
1-12-23 I just put a down payment on the Yamaha 25 hp electric start with power trim and tilt with a 20 inch shaft (long shaft). The tax was 350.00 and the total came to 5,400.00. It's supposed to ship in May. I'm repowering a 15ft Lowe boat (that's a deep V). I'm very excited to receive it! I'm studying all the videos and info on it. Good Times!
I'm picking the motor up today!
I have the same engine on my 11 ft whaler, but mine has electric start and throttle shifter. I run it in a plastic trash can...pees much better. Great engine!
The stream out of the weep hole is the same in the water as what’s in this video. One you increase rpm the stream pushes just as hard as any other outboard. Yamaha verified this is standard operation for the F25.
amigo quiciera que me alludes diciendome donde se en cuentra los fuciles de ese motor es creo q de mi motor se quemo xq no prende
Did you use mounting bolts? Is the bolt location the same for the 9.9 and 25?
No mounting bolts. It's a portable motor, so it uses the clamps.
What is board length measurement for F25
Hi buddy Tell me how much in the USA to pay for such an engine
goodjob
Awesome video..and . I need some explanation... Which one is best.. 2 stroke or 4 stroke.. Pls advise..
That’s a matter of opinion. Neither is better than the other. There are plenty of videos that talk about 2 stroke vs 4 stroke outboards. You should learn about their differences to determine which will work better for you, your boat, and what you plan on doing.
Hello... nice motor... i have a question if u don't mind me asking, cause i got a 10ft zodiac, is it better if i put a long shaft or short shaft on it? Thank you.
Is your 9.9hp long shaft or short one? Ty
You need to match the motor to what your boat manufacturer specifies. Typically if you have a 15” transom then you need a short shaft motor. If you have a 20” transom, then a long shaft.
@@FloBass my boat is only up to 10hp.. which one is better for me then long shaft or short? Ty
@@FloBass my boat is only 10ft and up to ten horse power
@@FloBass now my question is should i use a short or long shaft? Thanks
@@FloBass and how would u know if u need long or short shaft on your boat?
How does it sit in the water? I am considering this engine on my 14ft polarkraft. Just concerned it may be too back heavy.
It really doesn't sit any lower than when I had my 9.9 on the back. The 25hp is 115lbs and the 9.9 was 89lbs.
FloBass my 9.9 is like 60 something but mine is old yours probably had newer and heavier stuff
Just realized that’s a 4 stroke mine is 2 stroke that is some weight off mine
Very good i hope i have it but i can aford to buy it
Ekstra dobar motor...pozdrav iz Bosne...
I used to have the 25hp Yamaha 4-stroke with power tilt in the early 2000’s ☀️the weight of the engine was 70kg! I’m guessing this one is a lot lighter
Yes just a little lighter 52kg 😇
It’s 126lbs, which is about 57kg.
Who did you order your motor from?
Hey buddy, just ordered one yesterday for my J14. How are you liking it and did you put an hour meter on yours?
The tachometer I had recorded hours, but it only lasted a week and no longer works. I’m not worried about hours. This motor is amazing. Now that I’ve had it for 5 months I’m used to it and want to go faster... lol
Hell yea! I’m hoping that it’ll still move with 4 people on a J14
Yeah it will. I did about 25mph with me, two anglers and my 26 gallon live well full.
Nice!
Forgot to ask you, did you change your prop to handle a heavier load and if so what did you use? Thanks buddy
My dream...
Good day how much was the new engine and where did you order it if you have a promo discount
I haggled with local Yamaha dealers and got this a few hundred off msrp. No promo code, unfortunately.

How do l get one of this out board engines. Thanks
.I need to know the cost or the price of that outboard motor 25hp short shaft 2 strokes or 4strokes yamaha. I need help somebody. Thank you
Hey, I am looking for a powerful engine to put on my reinforced 3m tinny. I am debating whether to get this 25hp Yamaha or the Mercury 20hp efi. I want to be able to shaft sit/womp and spray. Thanks in advance
I had a German metal smithing teacher in high school tell me once, “Always use the biggest hammer to complete the work.”
Haha, awesome, love it!!! Will be using that a bit! Is the Yamaha heavy to turn?
In other countries it comes with a gas tank I seen a video on two 40 hp enduros Yamaha two stroke both had gas tank in package
You're trying to compare a 2 stroke/kerosene fueled commercial outboard to my 4 stroke, portable outboard designed and marketed for personal watercraft? Apples to avocados, Sam Tate.
Sir let me know the size of your boat you put the counter wieght on the center area.thank you .

Hey just a question. I got a old 25horse Evinrude that weighs less than 100lbs and a 2019 1436 alumacraft. Its Max recommended hp is 15 you think I'll be good as far as stock transom?
Your transom will eventually crack if you trailer it. Mine did with only a 9.9
That sucks, pretty poor quality from alumacraft. How would you recommend reinforcing it
That was my tracker 1436 that cracked. The transom was plywood with an outer layer of aluminum. Very thin. I sandwiched the factory transom with another sheet of aluminum along with welding another sheet of aluminum to the floor. Then used a 2x4 block of aluminum as the brace from the floor to the transom. It wouldn’t flex even a millimeter with the 25hp after that.
You can sort of see it in this video
Oh ok I just noticed that. Yea my alumacraft Jon transom is about twice the thickness of the trackers
What store did you purchase the outboard? I keep seeing them starting at 3700 and some change.
I just walked into a local Yamaha dealer where I live.
Lol someday I’ll get a brand new outboard. Until then I’ll rock my 2003 Tohatsu 4 stroke.
Классный мотор!👍👌
Hi, good for you! Great engine. Where did you buy it? Cheers
Purchased it from a local Yamaha dealer.
@@FloBass Nooo, may be you brought a the front gate of the factory!.. Can't you just say the name of the dealer?...
@@LPadillaCR lol what's the point of him saying exactly which dealer
@@bipedalhominid6815 The guy of this channel looks like having experience and not all the dealers offer the same, after- purchase service and guarantee, spare parts availability, etc. So a recommendation from him would come in handy for new buyers. But looks like the guy does not want compromises, totally understandable!... And do you understand my point?..
Super!!!
Beauty 👍
Thanks!
Nice
What is the number of the buggy?
did you get it from a dealership or order it online from somewhere
Dealer
will a 25 hp engine push my 25foot fishing boa at 30mph?
For a fabulous boating trip, take 2-4 weeks and travel the great Trent/Severn waterway system in Ontario, Canada. Starting from Picton on the eastern end of Lake Ontario, you can go through numerous lakes rivers PLUS many locks (including the incredible Peterborough Lift Locks) all the way to Georgian Bay. Plenty of places to stop for supplies and fuel AND there are lakefront restaurants, motels, campgrounds, etc. I did the trip several years ago and it was amazing. One tip...avoid Just and early August because there CAN be long wait times at some of the locks. p.s. Go on You Tube an call up Big Chute, also part of the system.
Sounds awesome!
