Yamaha LF250XCB Outboard Motor

25-Inch Shaft | 4.2L V6 | Digital Electric Steering (DES) | Digital Electronic Control (DEC) | Counter Rotation | Gray

The Yamaha LF250XCB is built for balance and control. It’s the left-hand, counter-rotating twin to Yamaha’s legendary 250-horse lineup—perfect for catamarans, center consoles, and offshore rigs running dual engines. With integrated Digital Electric Steering (DES) and Digital Electronic Controls (DEC), this outboard ditches cables for a cleaner transom and effortless, precision handling.

Under its sculpted gray cowling, a 4.2-liter V6 produces a solid 250 horsepower while weighing just 562 pounds, even with the 25-inch X-Long shaft. The result is quick planing, steady tracking, and that smooth Yamaha feel skippers trust in open water.

Key Features

• Counter-Rotating Gearcase - Spins opposite the starboard engine to cancel steering pull and improve control during docking, trolling, or running in following seas.
• Digital Electric Steering + DEC - No hydraulic lines or mechanical cables—just instant, smooth response at the wheel and throttle.
• 70-Amp Alternator - Delivers consistent charging power for dual MFDs, pumps, stabilizers, and onboard electronics all day long.
• Thrust-Enhancing Reverse Exhaust - Keeps bubbles clear of the prop for stronger bite and cleaner control when backing down on fish.
• One-Touch TotalTilt™ - Moves the motor from full trim to trailering position in seconds for convenience and shallow-water operation.
• Corrosion Protection Armor - Multi-layer coating and Yamaha’s proven alloys stand up to harsh offshore salt and spray.

The LF250XCB brings balance and brains to your twin setup—counter rotation, digital steering, and light V6 power that makes handling effortless. Bolt one to the port side and enjoy even tracking, crisp midrange pull, and Yamaha’s famous reliability that keeps you chasing the horizon instead of fighting the wheel.
