Yamaha's 432cc 25hp portable outboard features a streamlined, portable design and class-leading power-to-weight. While its 25 percent lighter than its previous design, it still packs exciting features like battery-less EFI. Pull-start models can now take advantage of this feature, plus the system is designed with an automatic decompression device to require even less effort for manual starting.
