2017 Yamaha F20 LEHA Outboard Motor

This F20 LEHA runs the same 362cc, 20 hp SOHC engine and 20-inch shaft as its LEA relative, but lists a dry weight of 121 lbs, a few pounds over that sibling, with manual or electric starting carried over unchanged. Why the extra weight is worth knowing A handful of pounds rarely changes how a boat handles, but it can matter against a hoist rating or a trailer-tongue weight limit, so it's worth confirming against your own equipment rather than assuming parity with lighter trims on the same engine. Steering reaches a full 45 degrees off center either way, the tilt bracket offers four stops spanning 67 up to 71 degrees, and the gear case reduces at a 2.08:1 ratio. Mounting centers land at 28.6 inches, and compression sits at 9.3:1 on this engine. A few extra pounds on the same shaft rarely change how a hull rides, but the detail is still worth matching against a trailer's tongue-weight limit before deciding between this LEHA and its lighter sibling. Questions buyers ask What's the oil capacity? Figure on 1.8 liters of oil with the filter attached, 1.6 liters if you skip it. What's the warranty?
