2019 Yamaha 25 HP T25XWTC Outboard Motor

Yamaha's 2019 T25XWTC stretches the High Thrust 25 hp outboard to a 25-inch shaft, the longest offered in this particular engine family, meant for tall transoms or heavy transom brackets that would leave a standard-length shaft running too shallow. Remote mechanical steering and electric-plus-manual starting bring total weight to 154 pounds. Measure before you buy Shaft length has to match the distance from your transom top down to the keel line; get this wrong and the propeller either sits too high, pulling air, or too low, dragging extra hull. This is the longest shaft Yamaha offers in the F25/T25 line, meant specifically for taller setups. Why High Thrust gearing The lower unit here trades some top speed for pushing power, which helps on heavier boats or those spinning a bigger prop. Pair that with remote mechanical steering, and this is built for console-controlled boats rather than tiller setups. Engine 432cc, two cylinders, electronically fuel injected. Towing and trailering A longer shaft like this one tilts up to a taller resting position on the trailer, so double-check your trailer's roller or bunk setup still clears the lower unit and skeg before towing any distance. Common questions Why the extra shaft length? To properly fit taller transoms than the shorter options in this engine family. Condition? New, with Yamaha's factory terms for new motors in effect.
