Yamaha 175 hv V MAX SHO
The Yamaha V MAX SHO 175 features a lightweight, high-torque DOHC 4-cylinder EFI engine with VCT variable camshaft timing, a sporty tuning, and aggressive acceleration. The large 2785 cm³ displacement delivers strong low-end torque, and PrimeStart™, TCI ignition, electric trim and tilt, and a 50 A alternator make operation easy and reliable.
Yamaha V MAX SHO 175 is designed for boaters who want a lightweight, high-torque engine with aggressive acceleration—without the weight of a V6. The 2785 cm³ DOHC inline-four, EFI fuel injection, and VCT camshaft timing deliver exceptionally strong low-end torque and instant throttle response, making this engine the perfect choice for bass boats, lightweight aluminum boats, and high-performance recreational boats.
The hallmarks of the V MAX SHO series are maximum acceleration, low weight, and a sporty sound. The VF175 is up to tens of kilograms lighter than comparable V6 engines, which improves the boat’s balance, top speed, and fuel economy. Yamaha’s EFI system, optimized intake porting, and high compression ratio deliver clean combustion and efficient power delivery across the entire rpm range.
The engine supports Yamaha’s variable trolling speed control, which allows for fine-tuning the speed in 50-rpm increments. TCI ignition, PrimeStart™, electric trim and tilt, and a powerful 50 A alternator make operation easy and reliable. The aggressive styling of the V MAX SHO models, with black accents and red details, completes the look.
Yamaha VF175 offers V6-class performance with the lightness of a four-cylinder — the perfect combination of speed, economy, and Yamaha’s renowned reliability.
