The Yamaha LF150XSA is the counter-rotating companion to the F150XSA, meant for twin-engine setups where handling can get tough without the right balance. With 150 horsepower, a 25-inch shaft, and Yamaha’s DEC system, this motor provides the same smooth, predictable performance as the standard model—only with counter-rotation to help keep the boat running straight and reduce helm pull. Offshore anglers, bay boats with twins, and coastal cruisers all benefit from the extra control this version provides.

Under the cowling sits Yamaha’s 2.8-liter inline-four with EFI, a reliable platform known for clean throttle response, strong midrange torque, and very good fuel economy. The Gray finish gives it the classic Yamaha look, and corrosion-resistant materials help it hold up in both saltwater and freshwater.

Key Features:

• 150 Horsepower, 2.8L Inline 4-Cylinder 4-Stroke Engine – Reliable midrange torque with excellent efficiency.
• Counter-Rotation – Balances steering forces and improves tracking in twin-engine rigs.
• Digital Electronic Control (DEC) – Smooth, cable-free throttle and shift performance.
