It uses Yamaha’s 4.2-liter V6 platform, a four-stroke that has a strong mid-range feel and clean acceleration without burning more fuel than it needs to. On larger offshore boats—big center consoles, sport fishers, or cruisers—the engine feels steady, responsive, and very predictable. Since it’s a DEC model, the throttle and shifting feel smooth and controlled, without the play you get from cable systems. When paired with a standard-rotation F250XCB2, the counter-rotation helps the boat track straighter and cuts down the steering pull you’d normally fight with on twin setups. The 25-inch shaft sits right where it needs to on higher transoms, which helps the prop stay in clean water and keeps efficiency up offshore. The Pearl White finish gives it a sharp, premium look and holds up well in saltwater.

It’s basically the counter-rotation version of the F250ESB4, but everything else you’d expect from Yamaha’s 4.2-liter V6 is still here—quick acceleration, that steady mid-range pull, and fuel use that doesn’t feel crazy for a motor this size. Boats with deeper transoms or heavier offshore layouts tend to feel a lot more settled with this setup. Since it spins opposite the standard-rotation model, the two motors help each other out. You get less steering pull, better tracking, and the boat doesn’t wander as much when the water turns messy. The 35-inch shaft is there for a reason: it puts the prop far enough down for deep-transom hulls where a regular shaft just won’t stay hooked up. The Classic White paint gives it a clean look, and it holds up surprisingly well in saltwater. ⚠️ Important: This is a DEC engine. A Yamaha dealer has to install and program it with Yamaha’s diagnostic system. It’s not something that can be set up at home.
