Need to power something with a 20-inch transom and need more than 150 horsepower? Do you need very high performance and light weight along with all the benefits of four-stroke power, including clean, quiet operation and great fuel efficiency? The Yamaha V MAX SHO 175 is the solution with all the benefits you need!

POWERFUL & FASTGreat overall performance and class-leading top speed (see page 3) come courtesy of Yamaha’s Variable CamshaftTiming System (VCTTM), which helps the 2.8-liter inline four develop lots of power in the midrange where it counts.

SMOOTH & EFFICIENTIt’s super smooth and powerful, thanks to advanced double overhead cams, four valves per cylinder and counterbalance shafts; it’s also extremely fuel efficient, delivering 30-to-40 percent better fuel efficiency than a carbureted two stroke.

ADDITIONAL SPACEEfficient use of space is another benefit. The V MAX SHO 175 does not require carrying two-stroke oil. There’s no need for an oil tank, which means more room for batteries, tackle or storage in the boat.

EASY RIGGINGThanks to mechanical control, the outboard offers easy rigging. You can equip it with your choice of analog, 6Y5 digital or Command Link® gauges.

RELIABILITYWith proven, Yamaha four-stroke, marine specific architecture, the V MAX SHO 175 will provide years of reliability.
