Yamaha F15C Outboard Engine

The Yamaha F15C outboard engine has quickly gained a reputation for superb performance. This is because it is closely related to the equally highly regarded F20B.

Both outboard engines share the same 362cc capacity powerhead, which offers excellent torque to punch a boat up onto the plane, combined with very low engine noise and great fuel economy. On the tiller control models, not only is the gear lever mounted at the front of the engine maximum for operator convenience and comfort, but a quick adjust steering friction lever is also mounted at the front. A 10 amp alternator is standard on all models, as is Yamaha’s almost legendary reliability. On the 15hp model there is a tiller control, but an electric start version is offered and is suitable for long shaft transoms.

Both the 15hp and the 20hp offer standard and long shaft models with hand start, tiller control, or electric start, remote control. Also available are some remote control, electric start models which even have power tilt, enabling the operator to tilt the engine at the press of a button!

The F15C comes in six models:

1. F15CMHS manual start, tiller control, standard shaft.

2. F15CMHL manual start, tiller control, long shaft.

3. F15CEHL electric start, tiller control, long shaft.

4. F15CES electric start, remote control, standard shaft.

5. F15CEL electric start, remote control, long shaft.

6. F15CEPL electric start, remote control, power tilt, long shaft

* The kW data is based on the ICOMIA 28 standard, measured at the prop shaft
