Description
The F15LPHA is built around Yamaha’s proven 362cc powerhead — the largest displacement in the 15 HP four-stroke class . That extra volume translates directly to usable power: where other 15 HP motors start to strain under load, the F15 simply pulls .
The CDI Microcomputer Ignition System continuously monitors throttle position, engine speed, and atmospheric conditions to precisely adjust ignition timing for optimum performance, economy, and power under all conditions . The acceleration pump delivers the fuel the engine needs during rapid throttle advance, ensuring responsive acceleration when you need it most .
The power trim & tilt system lets you dial in running angle for changing loads or chop with the push of a button — a feature rarely found on portable outboards in this class . The 10-amp alternator keeps your battery charged for onboard electronics like fish finders and radios .
Yamaha’s Phaze Five™ electro-deposited anti-corrosive paint system, combined with their proprietary YDC-30 alloy, provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion — standard on all Yamaha portable four-stroke outboards .

The F15LPHA’s 362cc displacement is the largest in its class, delivering the kind of low-end torque that makes a real difference when you’re running loaded . Its 10-amp alternator is the most powerful in this group, providing ample charging capacity for electronics . The power trim & tilt system is standard on the F15LPHA but not available on the Suzuki DF15AS .
The F15LPHA is well-suited to a wide range of American boating applications:
Small fishing skiffs — the 20″ shaft and electric start make it ideal for serious anglers
Utility jon boats — reliable power for work and play
Inflatables and tenders — portable enough for easy transport and storage
Aluminum fishing boats — excellent power-to-weight ratio for planing
The engine features a 45-degree steering angle in each direction for great maneuvering potential, a Freshwater Flush Device that lets you flush the engine without running it for added convenience and extended engine life, and built-in resting pads and carry handles that allow for easy carrying and on-side storage without oil leakage or cowling scuffs .
The Engine Warning System protects the outboard with overheat protection, low-oil-pressure warning (automatically reducing maximum RPM to 2000), over-rev protection, start-in-gear protection, and shift-in prevention at open throttle .
All motors ship from our San Francisco, CA warehouse with fast nationwide shipping. California residents pay applicable sales tax; out-of-state buyers receive straightforward delivery to their doorstep.
