2025 Yamaha Outboards 25 hp High Thrust Base

2025 Yamaha Outboards 25 hp High Thrust

It’s a mild, early-summer night. The sun’s gone down and the nav lights are on as you quietly troll your home lake for walleye. There’s nothing like a Yamaha High Thrust kicker for keeping the hours off your main outboard. Available in 60, 50, 25 and 9.9 horsepower, they produce up to 60 percent more forward thrust and up to 70 percent more in reverse than standard outboards of the same horsepower. This means they’re also great for pushing sailboats and heavy pontoons. Add maneuverability and muscle to your day with a Yamaha High Thrust outboard.

Our 432-cc 25-hp High Thrust outboard boasts the best power-to-weight ratio of any high-thrust 25 horsepower outboard on the water. It features no-battery-required Electronic Fuel Injection and electric and manual start on all models. With 20- and 25-inch shaft lengths and our Variable Trolling RPM Switch (VTS®) for slower trolling than in-gear idle, it’s a flexible fishing machine.

• Available in pearlescent white and Yamaha gray

• Compatible with mechanical controls

• 141/154 pounds

• Shaft lengths available: 20” and 25”

• Solid 16-amp alternator

Power and Performance

The Higher Gear Ratio on Yamaha’s High Thrust outboards make these powerhouses ideal for heavy pontoons and other applications that require an extra measure of muscle.

Increase thrust up to 60 percent in forward and 70 percent in reverse with a large-diameter, low-pitch Dual Thrust™ propeller. They're optional on our High Thrust T50 and T60, and standard on our T25 and T9.9, and are perfect for sailboats and pontoons. They can also be used on Yamaha Midrange outboards with 4.25" K gearcases.

Microcomputer Ignition adjusts timing to maintain optimum engine performance, economy and power under all conditions.

Convenience and Control

Yamaha’s award-winning, Multi-Function Tiller Handle (optional on T60/T50) features an ergonomic design for easy shifting, better grip and less rotation from idle to wide-open throttle. This reduces operator fatigue for a full day of enjoyable boating. Truly multi-function, its features include throttle, throttle friction control, shift lever, key switch, stop switch and a Power Trim & Tilt switch.

A Freshwater Flush Device allows you to flush the engine without running it, for added convenience and extended engine life.
