Used 2020 Yamaha F300 XCA 300 HP Outboard — Freshwater, Full Rigging

About this engine

The Yamaha 4.2-liter V6 Offshore is arguably the most trusted big outboard of the last decade — the engine behind a generation of center consoles, and the one mechanics name when you ask what they would hang on their own transom. This 2020 F300 XCA is the digital version: DEC electronic controls for buttery shift and throttle feel, a 25-inch shaft, and the 1.75:1 gearcase that made this platform famous for getting heavy hulls up and staying there.

What makes this specific engine stand out is its history. It is a freshwater motor with 211 hours and 210 PSI compression, serviced and ready to run. Anyone who has shopped used 300s knows the pattern: salt-water engines at three times the hours, sold bare, with rigging 'available at extra cost.' This one is the opposite — and it comes with the full package: controls, gauges, propeller and all installation cables included in the price.

The gallery backs the story up: side profile with rigging cables, front three-quarter, rear view, and a shot showing the SeaStar steering ram — the kind of detail photos we take so you can shop from your couch with confidence.

About that 'full rigging' line, because it is doing real work in this listing's value: a DEC control set, gauges, propeller and the installation cables are the items that routinely add thousands to a bare-engine purchase, and they are the items that delay repowers while everyone waits on parts. Here the package is complete on day one — your rigger uncrates one engine and one rigging set and goes to work.

The freshwater history deserves emphasis too. Two hundred eleven hours in fresh water is gentler duty than the same hours in salt: no salt crystallization in the cooling passages, no galvanic appetite for the bracket and fasteners, and it shows in how these engines present. For a buyer planning to keep a 300 for the long term, starting with a freshwater engine is the single best decision in the whole purchase.

A freshwater, low-hour, fully-rigged F300 XCA at 22.5% below researched market is repower math that works for center consoles, dual consoles and big bay boats alike. Message us on WhatsApp — engines like this do not wait around.
