Yamaha LF250ESB Outboard Motor

35-Inch Shaft | Counter Rotation | DEC (Digital Electronic Control) | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | Gray

The Yamaha LF250ESB is engineered for deep-transom offshore boats that require counter-rotation for balanced handling and exceptional control. Powered by Yamaha’s proven 4.2L V6 four-stroke platform, it delivers 250 horsepower with excellent midrange torque, fast acceleration, and impressive fuel efficiency—perfect for large sportfishing boats, multi-engine setups, and heavy offshore hulls.
