Yamaha F70LB Outboard Motor

20-Inch Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | Gray

The Yamaha F70LB is known for being one of the lightest and most adaptable 70-horsepower four-stroke motors on the water. It’s a popular choice for a wide mix of boats—bay boats, pontoons, center consoles, skiffs, and aluminum fishing rigs—thanks to its strong performance and impressive fuel economy. With a 20-inch shaft, remote control operation, electric start, and full power trim & tilt, this outboard offers plenty of capability without adding a lot of weight to the transom.

The lightweight inline four-cylinder engine delivers quick acceleration, quiet running, and steady torque through the midrange. Yamaha’s EFI system helps it start cleanly and respond well to throttle changes, whether you’re idling around a dock or cruising at speed. Power trim & tilt makes it easy to dial in the right running angle or lift the motor for shallow water and trailering.
