Yamaha - Lower Unit Assembly Lower Unit 6CF-45300-A1-8D. Overview. On the bigger Yamaha setups like the 300 horsepower range, the lower unit takes on serious load every time you push the throttle. If it's worn or out of spec, you'll feel it in vibration, noise, or rough shifting. I've swapped these out on high horsepower rigs and the difference is immediate-everything tightens up and runs smoother. When it's right, the boat handles better and the power delivery feels clean and solid..
