Yamaha Outboard – LF250ESB4
35-Inch Shaft | Counter Rotation | Digital Electronic Control (DEC) | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | EFI with Variable Camshaft Timing | Classic White
The Yamaha Outboard – LF250ESB4 is the counter-rotating version of the F250ESB4, designed for twin-engine offshore setups that demand balanced handling, maximum control, and a premium look. Powered by Yamaha’s 4.2-liter V6 platform with Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), it delivers strong acceleration, exceptional midrange torque, and outstanding fuel efficiency.
The counter-rotating lower unit reduces steering torque, improves tracking, and ensures precise maneuvering when paired with a standard-rotation model. The 35-inch shaft provides ideal propeller depth for deep-transom boats, while the Classic White finish delivers a timeless, upscale appearance.
⚠️ Important: This is a Digital Electronic Control (DEC) engine and must be installed by an authorized Yamaha dealer. Both the outboard and the DEC control system require flashing and configuration with Yamaha diagnostic tools during installation. DIY installation is not supported.
