📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 70 HP 2-stroke outboard, built from 1997 through 2003, was a lightweight performer known for its excellent power-to-weight ratio and reliability. Featuring a 849 cc loop-charged 3-cylinder engine with oil-injection and CDI ignition, it delivered efficient 70 HP output while weighing just around 106–110 kg (234–243 lb). Its compact size and punchy performance made it a favorite for aluminum fishing boats, inflatables, and small bay craft where speed and simplicity mattered.

This manual supports all Yamaha 70 HP 2-stroke models produced in that range, including common variants like 70TLR, 70BETOX, and other trim and shaft combinations built on the same 3-cylinder powerhead. All configurations - electric or manual start, tiller or remote - are fully covered in the included service procedures.
