Meet the new benchmark in high‑power outboards: the V MAX SHO 175hp. Packing 175hp into a streamlined, easy‑rigged package, its advanced EFI, counterbalance shafts and double‑overhead cams deliver blistering hole‑shot, responsive control, and Yamaha‑trusted reliability for your next adventure.
V MAX SHO 175HP
Performance, Perfected by Design
Boasting a 2.8 L inline‑four engine, Yamaha’s V MAX SHO 175hp combines race‑derived technology in a sleek, rugged package. Featuring DOHC with four valves per cylinder, VCT, and multi-point EFI, it produces 175 hp @ 5,500 rpm while remaining remarkably compact. Performance tests show it’s over 5 mph faster than the 150hp version, with a blistering hole‑shot that stands out in its class.
It’s also engineered to be practical—lightweight (227kg dry), smooth, and efficient. Counterbalance shafts eliminate harsh vibrations; Command‑Link gauge integration and a 50 A alternator support modern electronics; and a variable trolling RPM switch enables precise low-speed control. With a three‑year warranty and Yamaha’s reputation for rugged durability, this engine delivers refined power and long-term confidence for both fishermen and weekend boaters.
