The sun sets as you approach the harbor to moor for the night. Whether you’re taking the tender ashore for supplies or fun, your nimble Yamaha Portable is ready to go. Our 9.9 hp and 8 hp provide lightweight, efficient power that’s easy to stow. They also serve as excellent kickers for walleye and other fishing boats, with the 9.9 hp offering new pearlescent white styling or a high-thrust model with an optional V MAX SHO® style sport cowling. Add a little extra power to your day with Yamaha’s Portable F9.9 and F8.
Our 212-cc 9.9-hp portable is an impressive little outboard with a short tiller handle for increased comfort and the option of manual or electric start. The F9.9 platform is so popular, we also offer it with new pearlescent white styling, or in a high-thrust T9.9 format. The high-thrust model offers the option of a 25-inch shaft and a V MAX SHO® sport cowling when used as a kicker on a multi-species boat.

PROPELLER PROTECTIONYamaha's Shallow Water Drive, standard on all 9.9- and 8-hp tiller handle models, helps keep the propeller and lower unit out of harm's way in shallow water.
