📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 90 HP 3‑cylinder 2‑stroke outboard, built between 1997 and 2003, was one of Yamaha’s most trusted mid-horsepower engines for recreational and light commercial use. Utilizing a 1,140 cc inline-3 loop-charged engine with oil-injection and CDI ignition, it produced quick throttle response, strong acceleration, and efficient fuel burn in a lightweight design. Weighing in around 120–132 kg (265–291 lb) depending on trim and shaft length, the 90 HP became a go-to engine for bass boats, flats boats, bay boats, and pontoons.

This manual covers all Yamaha 90 HP 3-cylinder 2-stroke outboards from this era, including model variants such as 90TLR, 90TXR, 90BETOX, and other configurations sharing the same 1,140 cc powerhead. Whether electric start, remote or tiller steering, all mechanical and electrical systems are included in the factory procedures.
