📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 60 HP 3-cylinder 2-stroke outboard, produced from 1997 to 2003, was a dependable mid-range engine built for durability and simplicity. Featuring a 849 cc loop-charged three-cylinder powerhead with CDI ignition and oil-injection, it provided smooth and responsive 60 HP performance in a compact, easy-to-maintain design. With a dry weight of around 106–110 kg (234–243 lb), it was ideal for aluminum boats, inflatables, skiffs, and rivercraft that needed reliable power without extra bulk.

This manual covers all Yamaha 60 HP 2-stroke outboards from this production era, including models like 60TLR, 60BETOX, and other trim and shaft variants built on the same 849 cc engine.
