Yamaha LF150XB Outboard Motor

25-Inch Shaft | Counter-Rotation | EFI | Power Trim & Tilt | 2.8-Liter Inline 4 | Gray

The Yamaha LF150XB is the left-hand counter-rotator that keeps your twin-engine setup steady and true. Under the graphite-gray cowling sits a 2.8-liter, 16-valve DOHC inline-four, tuned to deliver a clean 150 horsepower without unnecessary weight. Even with the 25-inch shaft and counter-rotating gearcase, it tips the scales around 487 lbs, so you get serious offshore punch without loading down the transom. Steering stays light and centered whether you’re easing out of the marina or running wide-open down the channel.

Key Features

• Balanced Handling - The opposite prop rotation cancels steering torque, keeping your helm neutral and tracking straight when you need it most.
• Proven Powertrain
• Electronic Fuel Injection and Variable Camshaft Timing - combine for instant starts, strong mid-range punch, and smooth overall performance.
• Power Trim & Tilt - A full 70° range (-4° to +16°) lets you trim for shallow bays, trailering, or long offshore runs with ease.
• High-Output Alternator - The 50-amp charging system (35 A net) easily powers dual displays, stabilizers, pumps, and electronics without dropping voltage.
• Optimized Gear Ratio - A 1.86:1 ratio turns larger-diameter props, giving better lift and traction when you’re loaded with crew, fuel, and gear.

Finished in Yamaha’s multi-layer anti-corrosion armor and backed by decades of proven reliability, the LF150XB brings smooth, balanced muscle to center consoles, catamarans, and pilothouse boats that rely on twin-engine confidence without adding bulk.
