At just 9.8kg the Yamaha 2D is the smallest and lightest motor in Yamaha's outboard line up and is the perfect motor for applications where having the very lightest weight is important. Designed and built with the same uncompromising attitude to long term durability and reliability as every engine in the Yamaha range, the 2D features loop charged full induction efficiency, 100:1 pre mix oil ratio and is easy to transport with fold away carry handles. Great for car toppers, small fishing rigs, inflatables and tenders the 2D is light on weight but heavy on quality.
