Yamaha 350 HP LF350XCC2 Outboard Motor

Description

This listing is for a new Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale. It is the counter-rotating, 25 inch shaft, digital control F350 V8 in its later production version. It ships new in the crate, and we deliver to customers around the world. On boats running twin F350XCC2 engines on a 25 inch transom, this is the motor for the port side.

The model code tells the whole story once you know how to read it. L means counter-rotation. F means four stroke. 350 is the horsepower. X is the 25 inch shaft. CC is the digital control version. And the 2 on the end marks the later production version. When you are matching a pair of big V8s, getting every one of those details right matters.

Below you will find specs, matching advice, the boats it suits, rigging, care and ordering. If you have questions, get in touch.

Matching Your Pair

• Rotation: this engine is counter-rotation, for the port side on most boats
• Shaft: 25 inch, matching your transom and partner engine
• Controls: digital, matching your partner engine
• Version: XCC2. If your partner is the earlier XCC, look at the Yamaha LF350XCC.
• Props: matched size and pitch, opposite rotations

The standard rotation partner of the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale is the Yamaha F350XCC2.

Why Twin Boats Need Counter-Rotation

Props push the stern sideways as well as forward. With two big props turning the same way, the boat pulls hard to one side. Pairing a standard and a counter-rotating engine cancels those forces, so the boat runs straight and turns evenly in both directions. On a boat with 700 horsepower on the transom, that balance is essential.

Left-hand props

The LF350XCC2 needs left-hand props. Buy your props as a matched pair. Yamaha offers propellers for big engines in both rotations.

Boats That Use It

• Large power catamarans
• Big center consoles with 25 inch transoms
• Bay boats and hybrids
• Express and walkaround boats
• Commercial, dive, survey and patrol boats

V8 Torque

The F350’s 5.3 litre V8 delivers big torque at modest rpm. Heavy boats get onto plane easily, hold speed in rough water and carry heavy loads without the engines straining. That relaxed way of working helps explain the F350’s long service life.

Digital Controls

Digital throttle and shift give a light lever, clean shifts and easy synchronisation of both engines. Yamaha’s digital gauges and compatible displays show detailed data for each engine, including fuel flow, trim, hours, temperature and alarms.

Rigging

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

Running Costs

Handling Twin F350s

With digital controls, twin F350s make big boats easy to handle at low speed. Shift one engine forward and the other in reverse to pivot. Use opposite shifts and a touch of helm to walk the stern toward a dock. Hold position against wind or current with small bursts. At cruise, use synchronisation to keep rpm matched. If one engine has a problem, tilt it up and run home on the other. Practise in open water before tackling tight marinas.

Fuel and Electrical Layout

Give each engine its own fuel line and water separating filter, so one clogged filter only affects one engine. Make sure lines and vents suit two V8s at cruise. On the electrical side, give each engine a dedicated cranking battery, add a house bank and protect the cranking batteries with switches or relays. Keep connections clean, use dielectric grease on digital plugs and keep accessories off engine harnesses.

A Long Weekend Offshore

Here is what twin XCC2 F350s are like over a long fishing weekend on a 34 foot catamaran, with the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale on the port hull.

Friday afternoon you load ice, bait, food and three friends. The engines start quietly and you pivot out of the berth with a couple of shifts. Clear of the harbour, you bring both engines up together. The cat lifts and settles into a stable, dry cruise, tracking straight with almost no steering correction thanks to the counter-rotating port engine.

You run 50 miles to an offshore bank and anchor for the night. The house battery runs the lights and fridge while the cranking batteries stay protected. Saturday you troll all day, the V8s idling smoothly for hours. Sunday the wind builds, so you head home early, trimmed down, holding a comfortable speed through the chop. Back at the dock you pivot in, flush both engines and unload. A long weekend, and the engines did everything you asked.

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 both engines after every trip
• Rinse cowlings, brackets, trim rams, steering and tie bar
• Check anodes often
• Spray powerheads with corrosion protectant
• Wax cowlings twice a year

Transom Strength

Two F350s weigh over 1,500 pounds. Check that your transom is rated for that weight and power, inspect it carefully before installation, use the specified hardware and backing plates, seal every hole and re-check bolts after the first trips and at every service.

Choosing Props

Most twin F350 setups use 3 or 4 blade stainless props. Four blades usually grip better in rough water and help the boat stay on plane at lower speeds. Three blades can give a little more top speed on calm days. Both props must match in diameter and pitch, with the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale running a left-hand prop. Test props during sea trials until both engines reach 5,000 to 6,000 rpm at full throttle with a normal load, and carry spares in both rotations on long trips.

Engine Height and Trim

Set the engines at the builder’s recommended height and fine-tune in sea trials. At cruise, trim up until speed stops rising. Keep the bow lower in head seas and slightly higher in following seas.

Gauges and Data

Yamaha’s digital gauges and compatible displays show rpm, trim, fuel flow, hours, voltage, temperature and alarms for both engines. Set up a clear engine page on your chartplotter to spot issues early and plan fuel accurately.

What Comes in the Crate

The Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale ships with its paperwork. Controls, gauges, steering and props are separate. Keep the serial number safe off the boat.

Keeping Records

Log hours, services and parts for both engines. Matching records help keep the pair in step and add value at resale.

Is This the Right Engine?

The Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale is right if your boat runs twin F350s on a 25 inch transom, you need the counter-rotating engine, and your partner engine is the F350XCC2. It is not right for a single-engine boat, a 30 inch transom or a pair with earlier XCC versions. Send us photos of your labels and transom if you are unsure.

Why Buy From Us

We help you confirm rotation, shaft length and version before you pay. You get a written delivered price and a clear answer about warranty in your country. Photos of the crate and label are available, and we stay in touch after delivery.

Commercial Use

Commercial operators like the F350 for its torque and durability. Plan services on hours, stock common parts, keep detailed logs and schedule maintenance in quieter periods. Standardising on the XCC2 version across a fleet keeps parts and training simple.

Why the 25 Inch Shaft

Shaft length decides where the prop sits under the hull. On a 25 inch transom, a 30 inch engine drags extra gearcase through the water, slowing the boat and throwing spray. A 20 inch engine leaves the prop too high, so it loses grip in turns and waves. The Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale has the X shaft, sized for 25 inch transoms.

Measure from the top of the transom straight down to the bottom of the hull, with the tape vertical. If you have a jack plate or bracket, measure from its mounting surface. If you get close to 25 inches, you are in the right place. If it is closer to 30, you need a UCC2 model. Send us photos if you are not sure.

Catamarans

Twin F350s on 25 inch transoms are popular on large power catamarans. Each hull carries one engine, set far apart, which gives fantastic low speed control. With counter-rotation, the cat runs straight and turns evenly. Cats are sensitive to weight at the stern, so follow the builder’s ratings carefully, and ask the builder for recommended props, as cats often need different pitch from monohulls.

Running Efficiently

• Use fuel flow data to find your best cruise speed
• Trim up until speed stops rising
• Keep the hull clean
• Keep props matched and undamaged
• Keep engines synchronised
• Carry only what you need

Planning a Full Repower

If you are replacing both engines on a big boat, plan the whole job before ordering: engine version, shaft length, control binnacle, gauges or displays, steering, fuel system updates, batteries and props. Talk to your rigger about timing, then order everything together so it arrives at once. We can quote a matched XCC2 pair, including the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale and its standard rotation partner.

Repowering From Older Engines

Older boats with big two strokes or early four strokes are great candidates for repowering with twin F350s. You gain fuel economy, much quieter running, digital controls and detailed engine data. Check transom strength, capacity ratings, steering, fuel delivery, electrical capacity and helm space before you order.

Looking After Digital Controls

Digital systems are very reliable when installed and cared for properly. Keep connectors dry and greased, route harnesses away from heat and fuel lines, keep batteries healthy and avoid tapping accessories into the engine harnesses. Most problems blamed on digital controls really come from low voltage or corroded plugs.

Noise and Comfort

Twin F350s are much quieter than the big two strokes they often replace. There is no smoke at the dock, no oily smell and easy conversation at cruise. On long trips, everyone aboard arrives less tired.

Year-Round Boats

If your boat lives in the water, run the engines regularly, keep anodes fresh and follow your dealer’s advice on protecting the lower units from growth.

A Dive Charter’s Busy Season

Commercial dive operators often run twin F350s on 25 inch transoms. Picture a busy summer. Every morning the crew loads tanks and gear for a dozen divers. The engines start, and the skipper walks the boat off the dock with gentle shifts. The heavily loaded boat climbs onto plane without strain and cruises to the first site.

At the site, the skipper holds position with small bursts on each engine while divers enter the water. The counter-rotating Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale and its partner make that easy, because the boat responds evenly to each throttle. Between dives the boat moves to a second site, then heads home in the afternoon. Every evening the engines are flushed and the hours logged.

By the end of the season, the engines have done hundreds of hours. A quick service, fresh anodes and impellers, and they are ready for the next season. That reliability is why operators keep choosing the F350.

Questions to Ask Before Ordering

• Does my port position need counter-rotation?
• Is my transom 25 inches?
• Is my starboard engine the XCC2 version?
• Is the boat rated for twin 350s?
• What is the delivered price?
• Which warranty applies in my country?

If anything is unclear, message us before ordering the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale.

Choosing the Right Power

Before ordering the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale, make sure 350 hp per engine is the right choice. Start with your builder’s rating for total horsepower and weight. Never exceed it. Then think about how you use the boat. Heavy loads, long offshore runs and rough water all favour the torque of a big V8. Lighter use close to shore might suit smaller engines. Twin F350s are heavy, so they suit hulls designed for that weight.

If you are unsure, send us your boat details and how you use it. We will give you an honest view on whether twin F350s, including the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale, are the best choice for your boat.

Understanding the Model Code

For the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale: L means counter-rotation, F means four stroke, 350 is horsepower, X is the 25 inch shaft, CC is the digital control version and 2 is the later production version. The starboard partner, F350XCC2, shares everything except the leading L. Checking codes on both engines is the quickest way to confirm a proper match.

Bracket vs Transom

Some boats mount engines directly on the transom, others on a bracket behind it. Brackets move engines aft and can improve the ride, but they change the shaft length you need. Many bracket boats use 30 inch engines, while transom-mounted boats with 25 inch transoms use the X shaft. Check with your builder if you are unsure.

Getting Home on One Engine

One of the big advantages of twin engines is redundancy. If one engine has a problem far from port, you can still get home on the other. To make that work when it matters:

• Tilt the stopped engine up to reduce drag
• Run the working engine at a moderate rpm, not flat out
• Expect the boat to steer toward one side and hold a little correction
• Expect lower speed, and on some heavy boats you will not plane on one engine
• Watch your fuel closely, because running slow can use more per mile

Practise this on a calm day near home so you know how your boat behaves. With the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale and its partner, you have the confidence of two strong V8s, and knowing what to do on one makes that redundancy real.

Living With Big V8 Outboards

Owners who move up to twin F350s often say the biggest surprise is how easy the engines are to live with. They start every time, idle quietly, and handle long days without drama. Routine care is straightforward: flush after use, check oil now and then, keep anodes fresh and service on schedule. Give the Yamaha LF350XCC2 for sale that care and it will reward you with years of dependable power.
