Yamaha F2.5LMHB — 2.5HP Long Shaft Portable Outboard Motor For Sale

The 2.5 hp Yamaha outboard motor (F2.5LMHB) delivers the same legendary Yamaha reliability as the F2.5SMHB but in a 20″ long shaft configuration — making it the preferred choice for boaters with standard-height transoms and sailboat owners who need deeper underwater propeller engagement for smooth, cavitation-free performance. This is one of the most sought-after Yamaha 2.5HP long shaft outboard motors for sale in our New York inventory, especially popular among sailors and RIB owners who need a quiet, dependable auxiliary engine without breaking the bank.

At just 40 lbs, the F2.5LMHB packs the same clean 4-stroke efficiency as its short-shaft sibling — but the 20″ shaft keeps the propeller properly submerged in the water for more controlled, consistent thrust in choppy conditions or when the transom sits higher in the water. The 2.5 HP output at 5500 RPM is perfectly matched to displacement hull tenders and light inflatables where reliable low-speed push matters far more than outright speed. Starting is simple, and the tiller handle keeps operation intuitive and maintenance-free.

If you’re looking to buy a Yamaha outboard motor that pairs ultra-light weight with long-shaft versatility, the F2.5LMHB is the answer.
