Convenience & Control

• EASY RIGGING: I-4 V MAX SHO outboards feature mechanical controls for easy, convenient rigging with most bass, bay and flats boats, and are compatible with analog, 6Y5 digital or Command Link gauges.
• EXTRA SPACE: A four stroke in-line design means there’s no need for an external oil tank. That means less weight and more storage room in the boat for tackle and gear.
• AMPLE CHARGING POWER: At 50 amps, the V MAX SHO 175 and 150 alternators boast an 11 percent increase in charging power over the two stroke 150 HPDI

Power & Performance

• QUIET POWER AND PERFORMANCE: The I-4 V MAX SHO design maximizes combustion efficiency in a way that no two stroke can, delivering clean, quiet power and performance.
• MIDRANGE POWER AND RESPONSE: The V MAX SHO 175 and 150 feature Variable Camshaft Timing, which optimizes the angle of the intake camshaft to increase power and throttle response in the low- and mid-RPM ranges.
• FUEL EFFICIENT: In-line Four V MAX SHO designs are up to 40% more fuel efficient than traditional carbureted two strokes.
• OPTIMUM POWER: Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection and long-track intake system combine to maximize power and fuel efficiency across the line of In-Line Four V MAX SHO outboards.
• POWER MANAGEMENT: An array of advanced sensors constantly provide vital atmospheric and engine conditions to the Engine Control Module (ECM), which instantly makes the precise adjustments for optimum performance.

Reliability & Durability shop 2019 YAMAHA 115 HP VF115LA V MAX SHO OUTBOARD MOTOR

• ENGINE WARNING SYSTEM: This system protects the outboard with a range of functions including: overheat protection and low-oil-pressure warning (automatically reducing maximum RPM to 2000), over-rev protection, water-in-fuel detection, start-in-gear protection and shift-in prevention at open throttle.
• BETTER LUBRICATION: Wet sump pump lubrication that uses a pressurized oil delivery system through an oil pump.
• CORROSION PROTECTION: Combined with our proprietary alloy (YDC-30), our exclusive Phaze Five electro-deposited, anti-corrosive paint system provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. This protection is standard on all Yamaha I-4 V MAX SHO four-stroke engines.
• UNBEATABLE RELIABILITY: The I-4 V MAX SHO 175 and 150 feature a Cowling Drain System and Air Intake Labyrinth System to trap and drain water that enters their cowlings during normal operation.
