Yamaha LF175XCA Outboard

Yamaha’s LF175XCA is the left-hand teammate that keeps twin-engine helms calm and boats quick on their feet. A 2.8-liter DOHC inline-four delivers a confident 175 hp through a 25-inch shaft, yet the whole package weighs just 487 lbs so stepped-hull center consoles and cats still leap onto plane. Digital Electronic Controls remove throttle cables, and the counter-rotating gearcase spins the prop opposite your starboard motor, cancelling wheel pull when you idle into a slip or blast across a following sea.

Why crews choose the LF175XCA:

• Counter-rotation & DEC – balanced tracking plus fingertip, drive-by-wire throttle/shift
• EFI + Variable Cam Timing – crisp mid-range punch with fuel-sipping efficiency
• 50-amp alternator (35 A at idle) – powers twin MFDs, gyro stabilizers, pumps, and playlists all day
• Power Trim & Tilt: –4° to +16° (70° swing) – handles skinny bays and trailer ramps with ease
• 1.86 : 1 gear ratio – turns bigger props for solid lift when the crew and coolers pile aboard

Wrapped in Yamaha’s multi-layer anti-corrosion armor, the LF175XCA delivers quiet confidence, balanced handling, and digital convenience so every offshore run feels effortless from dock lines to blue water.
