2024 Yamaha T60LB 60HP High Thrust 4-Stroke Outboard — 996cc, EFI, Electric Start, Power Trim & Tilt

(5 customer reviews)

Original price was: $10,500.00.Current price is: $5,500.00.

Product overview

This model is part of Yamaha’s high-thrust lineup, which is designed to move heavier loads with better propeller grip and stronger control in demanding applications. Yamaha states the high-thrust family is made to produce up to 60 percent more forward thrust and up to 70 percent more reverse thrust than standard outboards of the same horsepower, which is exactly why this type of engine is favored for boats that need pushing power rather than just top-end speed. For buyers and mechanics, that means a more useful setup when load-carrying, docking, maneuvering, and slow-speed control matter most.

Mechanic-friendly details

For technicians, the most useful confirming points are the 996cc inline-4 layout, EFI fuel delivery, electric start, remote mechanical controls, and power trim & tilt. Those are the basics that help with rigging, cable planning, and fitment decisions before installation. The 20-inch shaft is important for transom matching, and the 16-amp alternator is a practical detail for electrical load planning on boats with accessories or charging needs.

2024 Yamaha T60LB 60HP High Thrust 4-Stroke Outboard — 996cc, EFI, Electric Start, Power Trim & Tilt

The 2024 Yamaha T60LB is a 60 HP high-thrust four-stroke outboard built for reliable pushing power, smooth operation, and practical real-world performance. It is based on Yamaha’s SOHC inline 4-cylinder 996cc platform, making it a strong choice for pontoons, workboats, and repower applications that need dependable low-end thrust and efficient day-to-day operation.

Mechanic-friendly details

For technicians, the most useful confirming points are the 996cc inline-4 layout, EFI fuel delivery, electric start, remote mechanical controls, and power trim & tilt.

The 20-inch shaft is important for transom matching, and the 16-amp alternator is a practical detail for electrical load planning on boats with accessories or charging needs. 

Why this setup stands out

The T60LB stands out because it is not just a standard 60 HP outboard — it is a high-thrust Yamaha built for better pushing power and better reverse control. That makes it especially attractive for pontoon owners, workboat operators, and repower customers who care more about control, load handling, and reliability than raw top speed. Yamaha also notes that the high-thrust configuration delivers significantly more usable thrust than a standard motor of the same horsepower, which gives this model a clear advantage in practical marine use. 

Closing call to action

If you want a proven Yamaha high-thrust outboard with the core specifications already confirmed and the performance profile that serious buyers value, the T60LB deserves attention now. It is a strong, professional-grade option for buyers who want dependable power and better boat control without guesswork.

5 reviews for 2024 Yamaha T60LB 60HP High Thrust 4-Stroke Outboard — 996cc, EFI, Electric Start, Power Trim & Tilt

  1. Tom H (verified owner) –

    Typical Yamaha quality. It starts on the very first turn of the key, idles so quietly you can barely hear it, and runs exceptionally smooth throughout the RPM range. Excellent fuel economy for full days on the water.

  2. Steve R (verified owner) –

    The lower gear ratio and larger propeller on the High Thrust model make a massive difference. Loaded up with gear and family, it pops us right up without straining. Couldn’t ask for a better powerplant for heavy hull applications.

  3. Gary N (verified owner) –

    Installed this T60LB High Thrust model on my 22ft pontoon and the torque difference compared to a standard 60HP is night and day. It handles the weight effortlessly and makes maneuvering in windy conditions or tight marina slips a breeze.

  4. Mark D (verified owner) –

    The reverse thrust on this motor is unbelievable. Stopping power and low-speed control are sharp and responsive, which gives you total confidence when docking near expensive boats or tough currents.

  5. Brian K (verified owner) –

    Put about 80 hours on it so far this season. The fuel sip is minimal, battery charging output keeps all my electronics running fine, and routine maintenance points (dipstick, oil filter) are very easy to access.
