Yamaha LF115XB Outboard Motor

25-Inch Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | Counter-Rotation | Gray

The Yamaha LF115XB is the counter-rotating version of Yamaha’s popular F115XB, built for boaters running twin engines who want smoother tracking and more balanced steering. It produces 115 horsepower from Yamaha’s lightweight 1.8-liter inline-four, giving you clean acceleration, quiet operation, and the kind of fuel efficiency this motor is known for. When paired with a standard-rotation F115XB, the LF model helps the boat hold a straighter line and takes some of the pull out of the helm—especially noticeable in chop or tight maneuvering.

The 25-inch shaft fits higher transoms commonly found on coastal and offshore hulls. Remote control operation makes rigging simple, and electric start with power trim & tilt gives you easy, predictable control whether you’re running wide-open or easing into a dock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of counter-rotation on the LF115XB?

It offsets propeller torque in twin-engine setups, improving stability and reducing helm pull.

Q: How does the LF115XB differ from the F115XB?

This model turns the opposite direction for twin-engine applications. The F115XB uses standard rotation.

Q: Can this engine be run alone as a single?

Yes, but it’s designed to work alongside a standard-rotation motor for best handling.
