Description
Meet the 2026 Yamaha F9.9SMHB2—a portable outboard that’s ready to be the quiet hero on your fishing skiff, hunting jon, utility tender, or small inflatable. Finished in Yamaha Pearl White, it looks clean on the transom and even better pulling away from the dock with that signature four-stroke smoothness.
This is an engine-only listing (not a complete boat), and it’s a smart match for lightweight hulls that want dependable push without excess weight. With 9.9 bhp (7.4 kW) at 5500 RPM, the 212cc in-line 2-cylinder four-stroke delivers the kind of usable torque you feel when you’re loaded with decoys and gear, easing onto plane, or holding steady through chop. The 2.08:1 gear ratio helps translate that power into confident prop bite—great for real-world low- and mid-range thrust where small boats spend most of their time.
Efficiency matters when your “fuel dock” is a long ride away. This Yamaha runs on regular gas and is designed for easygoing cruising—exactly what you want for long no-wake runs, lake hopping, or creeping along shorelines. The SOHC 4-valve layout (2 valves per cylinder) and 9.4:1 compression ratio are tuned for responsive performance without demanding premium fuel.
Built for the water, it uses water cooling (open loop) and is salt water capable, making it a strong option for bays, flats, and brackish backwaters. You’ll also appreciate Yamaha’s built-in protection: a visual/audible engine alert system plus emergency RPM reduction to help you stay aware and help protect the engine if something needs attention.
At just 87 lb. dry, it’s genuinely portable for its class, and the 15-inch shaft is a classic fit for many small transoms. Control is simple and direct with tiller steering, manual trim with 4 trim positions, and a reliable pull starter—no fuss, just go.
If you’re shopping for a compact outboard that’s efficient at cruise, confident under load, and easy to live with, the Pearl White F9.9SMHB2 is ready to power your next on-the-water mission. Warranty coverage applies per Yamaha’s current new-engine program—ask us for the details.
