📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 2 HP 2-stroke outboard, produced from 1997 to 2002, was designed as an ultra-light and highly portable engine for small inflatables, canoes, and dinghies. Powered by a 50 cc single-cylinder engine with loop-charged induction and manual oil-mixing, it provided just enough thrust for basic maneuvering and short-distance travel. With a dry weight of only 9–10 kg (20–22 lb), it ranked among the lightest outboards in Yamaha’s entire 2-stroke lineup—ideal for boaters who valued simplicity and grab-and-go convenience.

This manual covers all Yamaha 2 HP 2-stroke models using the 50 cc single-cylinder platform, including variants like 2CMH and other manual-start versions. Full maintenance and service instructions are provided for the ignition system, carburetor, fuel delivery, cooling circuit, and internal engine components.
