Specifications
Yamaha outboard motor 8 hp long shaft
This lot offers a Yamaha outboard motor with 8 hp, in a long-shaft configuration, intended for anyone looking for a practical propulsion solution for small to medium-sized waters. The engine is a petrol, two-cylinder unit and is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as a dinghy, RIB/inflatable, fishing boat or a compact sloop. With its 8 hp output, it is appealing to boaters who want a bit more push than the smallest engines, while still looking for a manageable outboard that is easy to mount and operate.
This is a 2-stroke outboard with premix lubrication. The consignor states that it runs on a 1:100 premix ratio. This means fuel and oil are mixed according to that ratio, which is a familiar system for many users of this type of Yamaha outboard. Anyone who has previously run a 2-stroke will recognise the direct throttle response and character of this engine type. At the same time, it is important to always maintain the correct mixing ratio during use, so the engine receives what it needs.
Yamaha outboard motor now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 22 June 2026.
What kind of engine is this exactly?
This is a Yamaha outboard motor with an output of 8 hp, in a long-shaft version and with two cylinders. It is a petrol engine and a 2-stroke outboard with 1:100 premix lubrication. The combination of 8 hp and a long shaft makes it attractive for boats with a higher transom height, or for those who want extra assurance in rougher water that the propeller stays well submerged.
How is it operated?
According to the description, this Yamaha outboard motor is equipped with both tiller steering and remote control operation. This offers flexibility: depending on the boat’s layout and your preference, you can choose direct control at the engine or remote operation. For a fishing boat or workboat, tiller steering can be convenient due to its simplicity, while remote control is particularly interesting when using a helm position or console.
For which boats is 8 hp a good choice?
An 8 hp outboard is often a good mid-range option for a dinghy, inflatable, fishing boat or small sloop. It can provide that extra push in headwinds or current, and for many users it is a logical step up when 4 hp or 5 hp feels a bit underpowered. If you are searching terms such as Yamaha 8 hp outboard, long-shaft 8 hp outboard, or 2-stroke petrol outboard, this lot aligns well with what you likely mean: an engine that remains compact, yet is genuinely usable for recreational boating.
What does a 1:100 premix ratio mean for you?
A 1:100 premix ratio means you mix petrol with 2-stroke oil at a ratio of one part oil to one hundred parts petrol. It therefore has no separate oil reservoir like some systems, but relies on the correct mixture in the tank. For the user, this mainly comes down to working consistently and accurately. If you boat regularly, it is useful to use a dedicated measuring cup or mixing bottle, so you maintain the same ratio each time and the engine gets what it needs.
This Yamaha 8 hp outboard motor is therefore an interesting option for anyone looking to buy an outboard via Boatauction that suits common recreational applications. It combines a widely used power rating with a long-shaft configuration and a control setup that allows for different boat layouts. In short, a lot that invites you to mount it on the transom of your boat and head into the boating season with confidence.
