It’s a mild, early-summer night. The sun’s gone down and the nav lights are on as you quietly troll your home lake for walleye. There’s nothing like a Yamaha High Thrust kicker for keeping the hours off your main outboard. Available in 60, 50, 25 and 9.9 horsepower, they produce up to 60 percent more forward thrust and up to 70 percent more in reverse than standard outboards of the same horsepower. This means they’re also great for pushing sailboats and heavy pontoons. Add maneuverability and muscle to your day with a Yamaha High Thrust outboard. Our 996-cc 50-hp High Thrust outboard has the extra measure of muscle you need for pushing heavy loads, such as a loaded pontoon. Its SOHC four-cylinder design, composite long-track intake system, large lower unit and high gear ratio deliver powerful punch in a compact design. 262 pounds 20” shaft length Solid 16-amp alternator Power Trim & Tilt
