The Yamaha F350USA2 is the 30-inch-shaft, Pearl White version of Yamaha’s strongest V6 offshore motor. It’s made for big-water boats—center consoles, deep-V hulls, and offshore rigs that need reliable muscle and smooth handling when the weather turns.
Under the cowling sits a 4.3-liter V6 producing a confident 350 horsepower, giving you that sweet spot between speed and endurance. It’s lighter than the old V8s but still built tough enough for long offshore runs. You’ll notice quicker planing, steadier balance, and a throttle that feels crisp and responsive thanks to Yamaha’s Digital Electronic Control (DEC) system. Every move—shift, throttle, or trim—feels precise and effortless.

For boaters who run hard offshore and want a motor that looks as good as it performs, the F350USA2 hits the mark. It’s powerful, quiet, and efficient—everything you’d expect from Yamaha—with the clean look of the Pearl White finish that stands out at the dock and on open water.
