Yamaha 300hp Outboard Engine – Proven Offshore Power with a Fresh New Look
For over a decade, Yamaha’s V6 4.2-liter outboards have set the gold standard for offshore performance. Boaters trust these engines for their high horsepower, fuel efficiency, and intelligent design. Now, the Yamaha 300HP F300XA outboard has raised the bar yet again—combining the legendary reliability of its predecessors with a sleek new aesthetic and advanced digital steering.
If you’re navigating unpredictable waters, fishing in open seas, or need dependable power for your commercial or recreational vessel, the Yamaha 300HP is built to perform and designed to endure.
Legendary Reliability Meets Innovation
Yamaha’s V6 offshore outboards are celebrated for their remarkable 96% reliability rating—a metric unmatched in the industry. Whether you’re trolling, cruising, or accelerating through rough conditions, this engine responds with confident precision and enduring strength.
Now, with Yamaha’s updated cowling design and newly integrated Digital Electric Steering (DES), the F300 is smoother, smarter, and more responsive than ever. DES reduces maintenance, eliminates steering friction, and improves helm control—perfect for long hours offshore. Yamaha 300hp Outboard Engine
Precision Engineering and Enhanced Handling
1. Smooth Shifting & Higher Top Speed
Equipped with Yamaha’s Saltwater Series II™ HP Propeller and patented Shift Dampener System (SDS®), the F300XA ensures quieter gear engagement and an increase of up to 2 mph in lighter boats. Whether you’re racing back to shore or cruising for pleasure, the transition is seamless.
2. TotalTilt™ Technology
Yamaha’s exclusive TotalTilt™ function allows for a full tilt up or down at the double-tap of a button. This convenience is a game-changer for trailer loading, shallow water navigation, and engine maintenance.
3. Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust
Stay in control during docking or fishing. Yamaha’s Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust routes exhaust away from the propeller below 2500 RPM, ensuring clean water contact and enhanced reverse thrust.
