Yamaha F25 4 Stroke Outboard Motor Unboxing & First Start

Book a guided fishing trip with me

MSRP $3310.00. My jon boat has been long overdue for an outboard upgrade. My 2016 Yamaha 9.9 pushes my 14 foot jon boat with ease at 22 mph when its just me, and a small amount of fishing gear. However, when a client is in the boat and I have my 26 gallon live well full of water and threadfin shad, the boat can only manage about 10 mph at best. That simply will not do. I'm expecting 30 mph with this new engine based off of results other anglers have had with similar setups. If I can manage at least 25 mph with a client and a full bait well, I will be ecstatic.

Nothing beats the unboxing of brand new boat engine

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+.

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.

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!

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...

[obryan]

I've got one. Very good motor. 2005 model with lots of hours in the salt but still going strong.

[rudolfsrudzitis]

Hey. Great engine. What is the max speed you have achieved with Yami 25 hp ?

[jean-philippeEmonides]

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!!

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 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

[bkriss]

Best outboard motors.. I have a Yamaha F20. Same ccm like this, I think..

[rickyboy]

I have the same engine. I like it so much. Yamaha #1.

[jonperley]

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!!!👍

[_______scottd]

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!

[parkhee_]

You never can go wrong with a Yamaha, definitely the best brand out there!!

[TheLtData]

Nice engines. I have a 15hp of this type and I like it. Quiet, low on fuel consumption, good emissions etc. Have fun!

[faisalalif]

[xxaviersimmons]

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 👍🏽
