The Yamaha V MAX SHO
It's quicker, stronger, smarter and lighter—outperforming two strokes on hole shot, displacement, fuel economy and weight. These are just a few of the design advancements that are putting it miles ahead of the competition.
Design Advancement |
Benefit |
|---|---|
| Next-generation engine block using the first marine application of plasma-fused sleeveless cylinders walls | Displacement is increased without enlarging the outer diameter of the cylinder resulting in class-leading, 4.2L displacement and more power and torque |
| High performance lower unit with new water inlet design with openings that are 81% larger than V MAX Series 2 | Greater water pick up for increased cooling capacity and enhanced durability, with a unique built-in curved skeg to help counteract steering torque |
| Redesigned engine bracket, lightweight cowling and advanced polymer composite lower engine pan | 34 pounds lighter than previous two stroke V MAX Series 2 designs. No other equivalent horse power production V6 outboard is lighter |
| Variable Camshaft Timing advances and retards the position of the intake camshaft | Modifies intake timing for increased power and throttle response in low- and mid-rpm ranges |
| Advanced, four stroke design | Smooth, quiet running, clean burning and meets/exceeds new EPA standards—even in California |
| Enhanced charging power with less weight | Re-designed stator using advanced magnet materials for more charging power—50 total amps of output (46 amp at 1000 rpm)—yet substantially lighter than V MAX Series 2 |
| Ignition Knock Sensor | Works in concert with the Electronic Control Module to allow maximum safe timing advance for maximum thrust and acceleration |
| Mechanical control | Compatible with cable-actuated remote and foot-operated controls and analog gauges common to bass boats |
