What size Yamaha outboard do I need for my boat?
The Yamaha range on Trolling Motor Services Plus’s site runs from Portable outboards to Offshore models, but the range alone does not identify the right engine for your boat. Start with your boat’s details and the outboard already fitted. TMS+ sells Yamaha outboards and handles full repowers in Jacksonville, so you can discuss the choice and installation with the shop.
Use the range to narrow the conversation
Which boat the motor is for. The site describes Yamaha’s Midrange 70, 60 and 50 hp outboards as built for aluminum fishing boats, pontoons and fiberglass boats. That describes intended applications; it does not mean each engine is suitable for every boat in those groups. Have the shop assess the particular boat before making a selection.
Which Yamaha family you are looking at. The Yamaha page lists Offshore, V MAX SHO, Midrange and Portable models alongside High Thrust and Jet Drive options. These are different product families, not interchangeable answers to a boat-sizing question.
What is on the boat now. When contacting the shop, include the existing engine model and the reason for considering a change. If you are deciding between maintenance and replacement, say so. Both Yamaha maintenance and full repowers appear in the shop’s published services.
A specific Midrange example
The site’s Midrange Four Strokes 70–50 page describes 70, 60 and 50 hp models weighing 247 to 253 pounds. It also describes a Variable Trolling RPM Switch that adjusts trolling speed in 50 RPM steps.
Those figures explain that particular product group. They should not be read as a recommendation for your hull or as a claim that a specific model is available immediately. Ask the shop to confirm the model, configuration and availability for the job you are planning.
TMS+ also works on boat wiring, trolling motors and marine electronics. Mention any related changes you are considering when discussing an outboard, and ask what would be included in the estimate.
Common questions
Does more horsepower automatically identify the right Yamaha?
No. The site lists several Yamaha families and horsepower bands, but it does not provide a sizing rule for your individual boat. Share your boat’s details with the shop before choosing an engine.
Does the site show Yamaha options for pontoons?
Yes. The Midrange 70, 60 and 50 hp page specifically mentions pontoons, alongside aluminum fishing boats and fiberglass boats. Confirm suitability for your particular boat directly with the shop.
Can TMS+ fit the replacement outboard?
The shop lists full Yamaha repowers as well as sales and maintenance. Its repower guide explains how to start that conversation.
Can I get an estimate before deciding?
TMS+ advertises free estimates. Call 904-573-0480 or send the boat and current engine details through the contact form. The shop is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
