Yamaha 50hp High Thrust Outboard Motor 20" Shaft Standard Rotation Grey T50LC

This 50hp high thrust marine outboard motor is engineered for demanding applications requiring enhanced propulsive force. It features a 20" shaft with standard rotation, providing reliable propulsion for heavy pontoons, house boats, multi-species fishing vessels, and sailboats requiring substantial maneuvering capability. The powerplant is a 996cc high thrust four-stroke engine with 4 cylinders, utilizing electronic fuel injection (efi) for optimal combustion efficiency, throttle response, and fuel economy.

Larger lower units and higher gear ratios produce substantially increased forward and reverse thrust compared to standard configurations, delivering enhanced pushing power and maneuverability in tight quarters. An updated cowling design is engineered for enhanced airflow, rugged durability, and a modern profile consistent with larger engine families. Remote mechanical steering provides direct and responsive helm feedback, offering reliable control for a variety of vessel configurations.

The integrated power trim & tilt system allows for quick adjustment of engine angle, improving hole-shot acceleration and optimizing running attitude under varying load and sea state conditions. Dual electric and manual starter systems ensure reliable engine ignition under all operating conditions and provide backup starting capability. With a dry weight of approximately 262 pounds, this outboard balances substantial thrust output with manageable installation requirements.

Finished in grey, this outboard complements a variety of hull colors and exterior styling preferences. This engine is backed by a manufacturer's 3-year limited warranty, subject to the terms and conditions specified by the manufacturer. Intended for use on registered watercraft, this propulsion system is suitable for recreational boating, pontoon operation, and sailboat auxiliary power in coastal and inland waterways.

Key technical characteristics include four-stroke architecture, electronic fuel injection, and high-thrust gearing optimized for heavy loads. Professional installation by a qualified marine technician is recommended to ensure proper alignment, rigging, and calibration for optimal performance and service life. This product is classified as a marine propulsion engine and is intended for use on registered watercraft in compliance with applicable maritime and environmental regulations.
