Yamaha 300hp DEC Outboard Engine LF300XCB – Offshore Legend, Upgraded
The Yamaha 300HP DEC Outboard Engine LF300XCB is the pinnacle of Yamaha’s innovation in offshore power and performance. Known for its elite reliability and seamless operation, this engine has long been a staple for serious boaters and commercial users alike. But Yamaha didn’t stop there—this V6 powerhouse now brings even more to the water with modern upgrades that elevate both convenience and command.
Whether you’re chasing game fish in open waters or powering a luxury center console, the LF300XCB delivers peak performance with smooth handling and smart engineering.
Performance That Commands the Water
4.2L V6 Muscle
The 4.2-liter displacement delivers powerful acceleration and efficient cruising speeds, perfect for long offshore runs or quick getaways. Yamaha’s cutting-edge design ensures lightweight performance without compromising strength or durability.
Digital Electric Steering (DES)
This new model includes Yamaha’s integrated Digital Electric Steering, providing smoother, more responsive handling, reduced maintenance, and a cleaner rigging setup. This system eliminates the need for external hydraulic lines, giving you a cleaner transom and more space.
Enhanced Reverse Thrust
Thanks to Yamaha’s Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust, the LF300XCB offers outstanding control when backing down on fish or docking. Exhaust is rerouted below 2500 RPM in reverse, ensuring the propeller bites only clean water for better grip and maneuverability.
TotalTilt™ Convenience
With Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ feature, tilting your outboard is quicker and easier than ever. A simple double-tap on the trim button fully raises or lowers the motor, saving you time during trailering or when clearing obstacles.
Optimized Propulsion
Equipped with the Saltwater Series II™ HP propeller and Yamaha’s patented Shift Dampener System (SDS®), you get quieter, smoother shifting and up to 2 mph boost in lighter boats. It’s the difference between feeling every shift and enjoying a seamless ride.
Built to Endure
Yamaha engines are known for reliability, and the LF300XCB is no exception. With a 96% reliability rating, this engine continues to perform in the harshest offshore environments. It’s built to take the punishment of saltwater use with minimal maintenance.
