Description
The Yamaha F8SMHB is a 8hp four-stroke outboard with tiller steering, manual pull start, and a 15" short shaft, weighing 87 lbs. A good match for jon boats, inflatables, canoes and small aluminum boats. As an authorized Yamaha dealer, Boat Specialists sells it new with the full Yamaha 3-year factory warranty.
Yamaha's 212cc 8hp portable is a SOHC two-cylinder four-stroke with 7.5 percent more displacement than its previous design, giving a nice balance of power, performance and portability. Forward-mounted controls and a shorter tiller handle make it comfortable to run all day, and carrying handles, resting pads and on-side storage make it easy to take along.
Yamaha F8SMHB Key Features
Smart Evolution: The F8 feature a new shorter handle for more comfortable operation. This also ensure that when the handle is hinged back, it tucks in tighter to the cowl for more stable, flexible storage.
Portability and Storage: Built-in front and rear handles make these lightweights easy to carry. Resting pads and an easy oil retention system allow for convenient on-side storage without cowling scuffs or oil leakage.
Propeller Protection: Yamaha's Shallow Water Drive, standard on all 8hp tiller handle models, helps keep the propeller and lower unit out of harm's way in shallow water.
Yamaha F8SMHB FAQ
What size boat is the Yamaha F8SMHB for?
A good match for jon boats, inflatables, canoes and small aluminum boats. Always check your boat's capacity plate for its maximum horsepower and weight.
Do I need a short or long shaft?
Measure your transom from the top edge straight down to the bottom of the hull: about 15" calls for a short shaft, 20" for a long shaft, 25" for an extra-long shaft, and 30" for an ultra-long shaft. The F8SMHB has a 15" short shaft. Not sure? Call or text us at (805) 644-6290 and we'll help you choose.
