Yamaha 350 HP F350XCC2 Outboard Motor

Description

On this page you will find a new Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale. It is the later production version of Yamaha’s 350 horsepower V8 on a 25 inch shaft, with digital controls and standard rotation. It ships in its factory crate and we deliver worldwide. If your boat has a 25 inch transom, needs big power and already runs “2” version F350s, this is the motor that matches.

The difference between an XCC and an XCC2 is the production version. That might not sound important, but on a twin or triple setup, matching versions keeps everything consistent: gauges, software, service parts and the way the engines respond. If you are buying a full new set, choosing the same version for every engine is simply good practice.

Matching Versions on Multi-Engine Boats

On a boat with two or more F350s, the engines work as a team. They are controlled from one binnacle, read on the same gauges and serviced together. Keeping them the same version makes all of that simpler.

• If your other engines are XCC2 or LXCC2 versions, choose the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale here.
• If your other engines are earlier XCC versions, the Yamaha F350XCC may be a better match.
• Buying a full new set? Choose one version for all of them.

Who Uses the F350XCC2

• Large center consoles with 25 inch transoms
• Power catamarans
• Big bay boats and hybrids
• Express and walkaround boats
• Commercial, patrol, survey and rescue boats

For twins, pair this standard rotation motor with the counter-rotating Yamaha LF350XCC2.

Why the V8 Makes Sense

The 5.3 litre V8 produces big torque without needing to run at high rpm. On heavy boats, that means easy planing, steady speed in rough water and the ability to carry a full load without strain. Engines that are not working at their limit tend to last longer, which is why the F350 has a strong following among commercial users and serious offshore anglers.

Digital Controls

Digital electronic controls give a light, precise lever and clean shifts. On multi-engine boats, the binnacle can keep the engines synchronised at cruise. Detailed engine data appears on Yamaha’s digital gauges or compatible displays, including fuel flow, trim, hours, voltage, temperature and alarms.

Performance

Twin F350s on a big 25 inch transom boat typically give strong acceleration and comfortable cruising speeds in the 30s mph. Top speed depends heavily on the hull and load. Your rigger will choose props so the engines reach 5,000 to 6,000 rpm at full throttle with a normal load.

Props

Most F350 installs use large 3 or 4 blade stainless props. Four blades often grip better in waves. On twins, props must match in size and pitch, with opposite rotations. Yamaha has propellers for big engines.

Rigging

1. Yamaha digital control binnacle
2. Digital harnesses and hubs
3. Start/stop panels
4. Digital gauges or displays
5. Hydraulic steering for large twin outboards, with a tie bar
6. Independent fuel feeds and water separating filters
7. Cranking batteries for each engine plus house batteries
8. Matched props

Use a rigger experienced with big Yamaha installs.

Transom Strength

Two F350s weigh over 1,500 pounds together. Make sure the transom is rated for that weight and power, inspect it carefully on repowers, use the right hardware and backing plates and re-check bolts after the first few trips.

Running Costs

Use the octane in the owner’s manual, usually 89. Fresh fuel, no more than 10 percent ethanol, and good water separating filters on each engine. For boats that need this power, the F350 is reasonably efficient.

Maintenance

• Oil and filter every 100 hours or yearly
• Gear oil
• Fuel filters and separator elements
• Spark plugs as needed
• Anodes
• Grease fittings and tie bars
• Water pump impellers on schedule

Service all engines together and flush after salt water.

Break-in

Follow the owner’s manual. Vary throttle and change oil after break-in.

Handling Twin or Triple F350s

Multiple F350s with digital controls give outstanding control at low speed. Here are the basics to practise once your Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale and its partners are installed.

Pivoting. Put the port engine in reverse and the starboard engine in forward, or the other way round, and the boat turns in its own length. On triples, the centre engine usually stays in neutral or is used gently for fine adjustments.

Walking sideways. Combining opposite shifts with a little helm lets you push the stern sideways toward a dock. It takes practice, so start in open water with fenders out.

Holding position. In current or wind, small bursts of throttle on each engine can hold the boat steady while you fish, dive or wait for a berth.

Synchronised cruising. Use the binnacle’s synchronisation so engines run at matched rpm. It reduces vibration, improves efficiency and keeps the boat tracking straight.

Getting home on fewer engines. If one engine has a problem, tilt it up to cut drag and run home on the others. Practise beforehand so you know how your boat behaves.

Fuel Layout

Each engine needs its own fuel line and water separating filter. Big boats often have large tanks with multiple pickups or several tanks with crossovers. Independent filtration means one clogged filter only affects one engine. Check that lines and vents suit multiple V8s at cruise, and carry spare filters on long trips.

Electrical Setup

Give each engine its own cranking battery, add a house bank for electronics and protect cranking batteries with switches or relays. Size cables correctly, keep connections clean and tight, and use dielectric grease on digital plugs. Keep accessories off engine harnesses. Most electrical gremlins on big boats come from batteries and connections.

A Survey Boat’s Week

The Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale is popular on survey and research boats, so here is an example of how those boats use their engines.

Monday the crew loads sonar equipment and heads out to the survey area. The twin V8s carry the heavy load to the site quickly. Once there, the boat runs slow, straight survey lines for hours. The engines idle and troll smoothly, and the digital controls make it easy to hold a precise heading and speed. Tuesday and Wednesday are the same, with long days at low speed and short fast runs between areas.

Thursday the wind picks up and the crew heads home early, the V8s holding a steady speed into the chop. Friday is maintenance day: the crew checks oil, flushes engines, inspects anodes and logs hours. Next week they do it again.

That kind of steady, demanding use is where the F350 shines. It is happy running slow for hours, strong when it needs to be and easy to look after.

Planning Maintenance for Heavy Use

• Service on hours, not just yearly
• Stock filters, plugs, anodes and impellers
• Keep detailed engine logs
• Schedule services in quieter periods
• Check fuel quality regularly

Offshore Planning

• Use the rule of thirds for fuel
• Track real consumption on the display
• Carry spare filters, prop hardware and tools
• Carry communications and safety gear
• Check weather and file a float plan

Salt Water Care

• Flush all engines after each trip
• Rinse cowlings, brackets, trim rams, steering and tie bars
• Check anodes often
• Spray powerheads with corrosion protectant
• Wax cowlings twice a year

Choosing Power for Your Boat

Is 350 hp per engine the right amount for your boat? Start with the builder’s rating for total horsepower and weight. Then think about how you load the boat and where you run it. Heavy loads, long offshore runs and rough water all favour more torque, which is where the V8 shines. Lighter use close to shore might suit smaller engines. Your builder’s recommendation is the best guide, and we are happy to talk it through if you send us your boat details before you order the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale.

Replacing One Engine

If you need to replace one engine from an XCC2 set, the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale is a direct match. If your remaining engines are earlier XCC versions or have very high hours, we can help you decide whether to replace one or all of them. Send us model codes, serial numbers and hours.

Common Mistakes

• Wrong shaft length
• Wrong rotation for the engine position
• Mixing versions without checking
• Undersized steering, fuel lines or batteries
• Skipping break-in
• Not flushing after salt
• Mismatched props

Storage

1. Stabilize fuel and run each engine
2. Change oil and filters
3. Change gear oil
4. Grease fittings and tie bars
5. Trim engines down
6. Maintain or disconnect batteries
7. Spray powerheads
8. Cover engines

What Comes in the Crate

The motor ships with its paperwork. Controls, gauges, steering and props are separate. Keep the serial number somewhere safe off the boat.

Keeping Records

Log hours, services and parts for every engine. Matching records keep engines in step and add value at resale.

Catamarans With 25 Inch Transoms

Large power catamarans are one of the most popular homes for a pair of F350s on 25 inch shafts. Each hull carries one engine, set far apart, which gives fantastic low speed control. With counter-rotating props the boat runs straight and turns evenly both ways. The V8 torque easily handles the weight of a big cruising or fishing cat, and the smooth, quiet running makes long passages more pleasant. Cats often ride higher and carry weight differently from monohulls, so ask your builder for prop recommendations and fine-tune during sea trials.

Engine Height and Trim

Set the engines at the builder’s recommended height, then fine-tune during sea trials. Make sure the props grip in tight turns and rough water, and that the engines reach 5,000 to 6,000 rpm at full throttle with a normal load. At cruise, trim up until speed stops rising. Keep the bow lower in head seas and slightly higher in following seas.

Gauges and Engine Data

The digital setup on the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale shows rpm, trim, fuel flow, hours, voltage, temperature and alarms for every engine on Yamaha’s gauges or compatible displays. A clear engine page on your chartplotter helps you spot problems early and plan fuel precisely. On long offshore runs, that information is worth its weight in gold.

A Fishing Trip on Twin F350s

Here is a typical day for a 34 foot center console running a Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale and its counter-rotating partner.

You leave in the dark with full tanks, a cooler of bait and four friends. The engines start quietly and you walk the boat out of the slip with gentle shifts. Clear of the harbour, you bring both engines up together. The boat lifts onto plane easily and settles at a fast, comfortable cruise. The display shows fuel flow and range, and you check it against your plan.

At the grounds you slow to trolling speed. The V8s idle smoothly for hours while the lines are out. Mid-morning a fish hits, and you use the throttles to keep the boat positioned while it is fought to the side. In the afternoon the breeze builds. You head home trimmed slightly down, the 25 inch legs keeping the props biting through the chop.

Back at the dock you pivot into your berth, flush both engines and wash down. It is a long day, but the engines have made it easy.

Why Buy From Us

When you buy the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale here, we help you check shaft length, rotation and version before you pay. You get a delivered price in writing and a clear answer on warranty for your country. We send photos of the crate and label on request. And we are still here after delivery if you need us.

Understanding the Model Code

For the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale, F means four stroke, 350 is the horsepower, X is the 25 inch shaft, CC is the digital control version and 2 marks the later production version. Add an L at the front for counter-rotation, as in LF350XCC2. Swap X for U for the 30 inch motor. Knowing the code makes it easy to compare listings and make sure every engine on your boat matches.

Props and Tuning

Getting props right on big V8s matters. If the engines will not reach 5,000 rpm at full throttle with a normal load, the pitch is too high. If they go past 6,000, it is too low. A good rigger tests several props in sea trials and chooses the best balance of hole shot, cruise efficiency and top speed. Note the sizes once you find them and carry spares of the same size and rotation on long trips. Replace damaged props promptly and always in matched pairs.

Questions to Ask Before Ordering

• Is my transom 25 inches?
• Do I need standard rotation for this position?
• Are my other engines XCC2 versions?
• Is my boat rated for the total horsepower and weight?
• What is the delivered price?
• Which warranty applies?

If you are unsure about any of these, message us before ordering the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale.

Transom, Bracket and Mounting

Big engines need a solid base. Before installing the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale, have the transom checked for cracks, soft spots or water in the core, especially on older boats. Make sure the transom is rated for the combined weight and horsepower of all engines. Use the mounting hardware and backing plates specified for the motor, seal every hole carefully to keep water out of the core and torque the bolts correctly. After the first few trips, check the bolts again, and keep checking them at every service. A loose engine on a big boat is dangerous, and a wet transom core is expensive to repair.

If your boat uses a bracket rather than a direct transom mount, inspect the bracket welds or laminate and its attachment to the hull. Brackets carry huge loads in rough water and need to be in perfect condition.

Running a Single F350

Some boats are designed for one large outboard. A single Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale gives a lot of power in a simple package, with only one engine to service and one prop to buy. The trade-off is redundancy: if the engine has a problem, you need another way home. Many single-engine offshore owners carry a small kicker motor as a backup, along with good communications and safety gear. If you run a single engine, plan trips carefully and keep up with maintenance.

Repowering Older Boats

Older offshore boats with large two strokes or early four strokes can be transformed by repowering with F350s. You gain fuel economy, much quieter running, digital controls and modern engine data. Before ordering, check transom strength, capacity ratings, steering, fuel delivery, electrical capacity and helm space for the digital binnacle and gauges.

Is the Yamaha F350XCC2 for Sale Right for You?

The Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale is the right motor if you have a big boat with a 25 inch transom, it is rated for 350 hp per engine, and your other engines are the later XCC2 or LF350XCC2 versions. It is also a great choice if you are building a brand new multi-engine setup and want all engines in the latest version. If your transom is 30 inches, choose a UCC2 instead. If your other engines are earlier versions, talk to us first. We will help you choose the Yamaha F350XCC2 for sale or an alternative that fits your boat perfectly.
