Yamaha T25LWTC 25HP High Thrust Outboard Motor – Remote Mechanical, Electric & Manual Start, 20″ Shaft (Scratch & Dent)
The Yamaha T25LWTC is Yamaha’s lightweight high-thrust 25HP four-stroke outboard, engineered for maximum push on heavier loads such as pontoon boats, large jon boats, work skiffs, sailboat auxiliaries, and displacement hulls. It delivers exceptional low-end torque and reverse thrust thanks to its optimized gear ratio and Dual Thrust propeller design (large blade area with exhaust deflection for superior backing power).
Based on a responsive 432cc SOHC inline 2-cylinder engine with battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), the T25LWTC provides reliable starts, smooth power delivery, and excellent fuel economy on regular unleaded. This remote mechanical model (T25LWTC) includes power trim & tilt (PTT) for easy shallow-water operation and trailering, plus both electric start and a built-in manual pull-start backup for added versatility.
Weighing approximately 141 lbs with the 20″ long shaft, it maintains one of the best power-to-weight ratios among high-thrust 25HP outboards. Additional features include a 16-amp alternator, Variable Trolling RPM capability (when rigged with compatible controls), external freshwater flush port, carry handles, and resting pads for stable storage. Yamaha’s legendary corrosion protection (YDC-30 alloy and multi-layer paint) ensures long-term durability in freshwater or saltwater.
This Scratch & Dent unit features only minor cosmetic blemishes with no mechanical or performance issues — a fantastic opportunity to own premium Yamaha high-thrust technology at significant savings while remaining eligible for full manufacturer warranty coverage. Owners and dealers praise its strong low-speed control, quiet operation, easy portability, and reliability as a primary motor or heavy-duty kicker.
Whether pushing a loaded pontoon, maneuvering a work boat, or serving as a dependable auxiliary, the Yamaha T25LWTC combines modern EFI efficiency, high-thrust performance, and lightweight design for superior results on the water.
