Why a 20 HP Yamaha Tiller? (Portable Power, Big Results)

• Perfect for small boats: 12–16 ft aluminum rigs, inflatables, micro‑skiffs, car‑tops, and dinghies.

• Lightweight and efficient: Easy to mount, easy on fuel, and quiet enough for early‑morning launches.

• U.S. parts & service network: Yamaha support is widespread from Florida to the Pacific Northwest—great for uptime and resale.

Think of the Yamaha 20 as the pocketknife of outboards: compact, reliable, and always the first tool you reach for.

What to Check Before You Buy (The Buyer’s Checklist That Matters)

Hours & Service Records

Ask for ECU‑verified hours (when available) and routine 100‑hour services. Look for proof of oil, gear lube, and water‑pump impeller changes.

Compression, Diagnostics & Gearcase

Even compression tells you the cylinders are healthy. We add an ECU scan (where applicable) and a gearcase pressure/vacuum test to confirm seal integrity.

Shaft Length & Mounting

Most Yamaha 20s come in 15″ (short) or 20″ (long) shaft. Match the shaft to your transom height for correct cooling and trim range.

Start & Tilt Options

• Manual or electric start: Electric adds convenience; manual keeps it simple.

• Manual tilt or power tilt: Power tilt (when equipped) is nice for shallow‑water hops and trailering.

Tiller Features & Controls

A proper tiller handle should include F‑N‑R shifting, throttle tension, and an emergency stop lanyard. Many models integrate trolling‑speed fine control depending on year.

Fuel & Prop

Most 20s run an external portable fuel tank (often 6 gal). Prop selection—aluminum vs. stainless, pitch to hit target WOT RPM—makes a bigger difference than most people think. We’ll help you choose.

Charging & Electronics

A 12V charging system (varies by model year) keeps your fishfinder, lights, and phone alive. We verify charging output during our test‑tank run.

Fresh vs. Salt Use

Salt is fine with the right care. Inspect anodes, hardware, brackets, and wiring. Our photos and notes make it easy to judge condition.

What’s Included

Controls, fuel tank, fuel line, prop, and warranty/coverage vary by listing. We label exact inclusions so you’re not chasing parts at launch time.
