Yamaha LF150XCA Outboard

Yamaha’s LF150XCA is the left-hand, drive-by-wire partner that keeps twin-engine helms feather-light and perfectly balanced. Hidden beneath its graphite-gray cowling sits a 2.8-liter, 16-valve DOHC inline-four delivering a crisp 150 hp through a 25-inch shaft—yet the whole package weighs under 490 lbs, so transom weight stays in check even on stepped-hull center consoles and catamarans.

Why this counter-rotator belongs beside your starboard F150:

• Digital Electronic Controls (DEC) for smooth, cable-free throttle and shift
• Counter-rotating gearcase cancels steering torque, making docking and following seas easier to handle
• Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) and EFI team up for punchy mid-range thrust and fuel-sipping efficiency
• Power Trim & Tilt with –4° to +16° trim and a 70° tilt swing tackles shallow bays and trailer ramps
• 50-amp alternator (35 A net) keeps dual MFDs, gyro stabilizers, and live-well pumps powered all day

A 1.86:1 gear ratio spins larger props for solid lift when the crew, coolers, and dive tanks pile aboard, while Yamaha’s multi-layer anti-corrosion armor defends every fastener and passage. Bolt on an LF150XCA and enjoy balanced handling, quiet confidence, and turn-key digital control—mile after offshore mile.
