Yamaha FT8GEPL — 8 HP
Yamaha FT8GEPL is a four-stroke outboard motor rated at 8 HP (5,9 kW at the propeller shaft). Engine: SOHC, rzędowy 2 (High Thrust), displacement 212 cm³, 1 gaźnik. Dry weight: 43–49 kg.
A motor for remote control from the console — throttle and shift by cables from the control lever (mechanical controls), with mechanical or hydraulic steering in the boat. A proven choice for console boats that is simple to service. The model has electric start and power tilt (PT).
Shaft length L (20″ / 508 mm). The shaft is matched to the boat’s transom height so that the anti-cavitation plate runs just below the water surface. Transom height for this shaft according to Yamaha: 552 mm.
The High Thrust version has a higher-ratio gearcase and a large propeller, giving strong thrust at low revs — for heavier boats, inflatables and workboats.
Fuel consumption at full power according to Yamaha: 3,3 L/h @5500 obr/min. At the GRAND BOATS Poland service centre in Łężyce near Gdynia we install the engine, do the rigging and choose the propeller. The engine is supplied in cooperation with an authorised Yamaha dealer; the manufacturer warranty (3 + 2 years) is carried out by an authorised Yamaha service.
