Yamaha F25 GETS/L: Electric Start Power for Skiffs and RIBs That Demand More

Twenty-five horsepower is the sweet spot for a lot of serious small-boat owners, and the Yamaha F25 GETS/L delivers it with a level of refinement that’s hard to find elsewhere in the class. Electric start. Remote control. Full power trim and tilt. This isn’t a stripped-down tiller motor bolted on as an afterthought. It’s a genuine helm-ready package built for skiffs, aluminum boats, and RIBs that need to move fast and run clean all day.

What the Letters Actually Mean

Yamaha’s naming convention looks cryptic until you break it down. The “GE” designates electric start paired with remote control and power trim and tilt, meaning you turn a key and steer through a console instead of wrestling a tiller arm. The “T” confirms that trim and tilt function, letting you dial in the perfect running angle from the seat. Then “S” or “L” decides your shaft. Fifteen inches short, twenty inches long, GETS or GETL, matched to your transom height.

Under the Cowling

At the heart of the Yamaha F25 GETS/L specs sits a 432cc, 2-cylinder SOHC four-stroke engine, the same trusted architecture Yamaha has refined across its portable lineup for years. It runs on battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection, a detail that matters more than it sounds. Cold mornings at the dock stop being a guessing game of choke and throttle. The ECU manages the mixture itself, so starts stay crisp and throttle response stays sharp whether you’re idling through a no-wake zone or slamming the throttle open to get on plane.

Electronics That Keep Up With Your Rig

Modern boats run more gear than ever. Fish finders, chartplotters, navigation lights, livewell pumps, the list keeps growing every season. A 16-amp high-output alternator keeps all of it charged without dragging down your cranking battery, so you’re not returning to the ramp with a dead electrical system after a long day offshore.

Weight That Punches Above Its Class

Here’s the number that turns heads among skiff owners comparing outboards in this range. At roughly 143 lbs, the F25 holds what most people in the field would call an industry-leading power-to-weight ratio for a 25HP engine. That weight savings shows up immediately on a small hull, tightening the bow-up angle, improving fuel efficiency, and making the boat noticeably quicker to plane. Owners writing up a Yamaha F25 GETS/L review consistently point to this exact trait, the way the motor seems to disappear off the transom while still delivering full remote-control power underway.

Built for Real-World Handling

Mount it on a 15-foot aluminum skiff and the difference is obvious the first time you leave the dock. The lighter weight up top keeps the boat balanced, and remote steering frees up cockpit space that a tiller handle would otherwise eat into. RIB owners get the same benefit, particularly when running tenders back and forth to a larger vessel where quick, confident handling actually matters.
