Yamaha Outboard – LF300ESB
35-Inch Shaft | Counter Rotation | Digital Electronic Control (DEC) | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | EFI with Variable Camshaft Timing | Gray
The Yamaha Outboard – LF300ESB is a purpose-built offshore powerhouse designed for maximum thrust, control, and balance on large, deep-V offshore boats. Its counter-rotating configuration enhances handling in twin- and triple-engine setups, while the 35-inch shaft ensures proper propeller depth for optimal performance in rough seas.
Powered by Yamaha’s proven 4.2-liter V6 with Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), the LF300ESB delivers responsive acceleration, exceptional midrange torque, and excellent fuel economy—all wrapped in a corrosion-resistant design for long-term offshore reliability.
⚠️ 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.
