Yamaha F90LB Outboard Motor
20-Inch Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | Gray
The Yamaha F90LB is a light, easy-running 90-horsepower four-stroke that works well on a wide range of mid-size boats. It uses Yamaha’s 1.8-liter inline-four, which has a reputation for smooth power, good torque, and very reasonable fuel use. Boats like center consoles, pontoons, flats skiffs, and aluminum fishing rigs tend to handle really nicely with this motor because it doesn’t add a lot of weight but still gives you plenty of push when you need it.
With a 20-inch shaft and remote control steering, it fits most standard-height transoms. The engine runs quietly, starts easily, and trims cleanly, and the EFI system does a good job keeping the fuel burn predictable whether you’re idling around or making a longer run.

#Model-F90JB
Yamaha Outboard – F90JB
65 HP Jet Drive | 25-Inch Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt
The Yamaha F90JB combines Yamaha four-stroke reliability with the added versatility of a jet-drive lower unit for boats that regularly operate in shallow or obstacle-filled water. Its 1.8L inline four-cylinder engine delivers 65 horsepower through the jet pump, giving boaters responsive acceleration and dependable performance without relying on a conventional exposed propeller.
Built for 25-inch transom applications, the F90JB uses remote mechanical controls and is well suited for river boats, shallow-water fishing rigs, utility boats, and other vessels that need extra clearance beneath the hull. Because the jet system does not use a traditional propeller and gearcase extending below the boat, it can provide better access to areas with rocks, sandbars, submerged debris, or limited water depth.
Why Choose the Yamaha F90JB?
-
1.8L Inline 4-Cylinder Engine
Yamaha’s proven four-cylinder platform provides smooth operation, dependable torque, and responsive acceleration across a wide range of operating conditions.
-
65 HP Jet Output

Command Link® Compatibility
The F90JB can be integrated with compatible Yamaha Command Link® instrumentation and supported analog gauge systems for engine monitoring at the helm.
For boaters who frequently travel through shallow rivers, rocky channels, flats, or areas with submerged obstacles, the Yamaha F90JB offers a practical alternative to a conventional propeller-driven outboard. Its combination of 65 HP jet output, 25-inch shaft configuration, remote controls, and Yamaha’s 1.8L four-stroke platform makes it well suited for specialized shallow-water boating applications.
