📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 35 HP 2-cylinder 2-stroke outboard, produced between 1997 and 2002, offered a simple and rugged solution for small boat operators in both recreational and commercial settings. Built on Yamaha’s 496 cc loop-charged 2-cylinder platform, it featured CDI ignition, oil-injection, and a compact layout that made it easy to maintain in the field. With a dry weight of approximately 72–76 kg (158–168 lb), the 35 HP engine was a favorite for tiller-controlled fishing boats, skiffs, and rivercraft in regions where lightweight power was essential.

This manual includes all Yamaha 35 HP 2-stroke models using the 496 cc 2-cylinder configuration, including variants like 35BETOX, 35ELRX, and others offered with electric or manual start. All systems—fuel, ignition, cooling, trim/tilt, and more—are fully covered in the official service procedures.
