Yamaha 150 HP Outboard Motors
Yamaha is the volume choice in the United States and the easiest range to get serviced anywhere on the coast. A Yamaha at 150 horsepower suits center consoles to about twenty four feet and heavy bay boats.
Buying a Yamaha 150hp
Expect 206 to 218 kg, 454 to 481 lb dry, long or extra long shaft, electric start, remote, power trim and tilt, and external tank. Shaft length is built into the model code: L is a twenty inch long shaft, X a twenty five inch extra long, and neither means a fifteen inch short shaft.
We have 7 matching engines in stock below, ready to crate and ship.
Buying used at this size, check the mid section and transom bracket for corrosion; at this weight a neglected bracket is expensive.
Listed prices on this page run from $4,100 to $6,600. Freight, controls and a propeller are quoted separately.
Common questions
What size boat does a 150hp outboard suit?
It suits center consoles to about twenty four feet and heavy bay boats. Always check the capacity plate at your transom first, since that gives the maximum the hull is rated for and it is illegal as well as unwise to exceed it.
How much does a 150hp outboard weigh?
Typically 206 to 218 kg, 454 to 481 lb. That figure matters more than most buyers expect: it decides whether you can lift the engine alone, and whether your transom bracket is rated for it.
Which shaft length do I need?
Measure vertically from the top of the transom to the lowest point of the hull. Fifteen inches takes a short shaft, twenty inches a long shaft, twenty five inches an extra long. Fitted right, the anti ventilation plate finishes level with the hull bottom. Send us a photograph with a tape measure in frame if you are unsure.
Does the price include controls and a propeller?
Remote steering engines are supplied without a control box or cables unless you add them, and engines from 40hp up ship without a propeller so it can be pitched to your hull. Both can go in the same crate, so there is no second freight charge.
How does it get to me?
Crated and shipped to all 48 states. Freight is priced from your zip code against the destination zone, and the exact figure is shown at checkout before you pay. Ask for a written quote first if you would rather see it in an email.
