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 & FAST
Great overall performance and class-leading top speed
(see page 3) come courtesy of Yamaha’s Variable Camshaft
Timing System (VCT TM), which helps the 2.8-liter inline four
develop lots of power in the midrange where it counts.
SMOOTH & EFFICIENT
It’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 SPACE
Efficient 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 RIGGING
Thanks to mechanical control, the outboard offers easy rigging.
You can equip it with your choice of analog, 6Y5 digital or Command
Link® gauges.
RELIABILITY
With proven, Yamaha four-stroke, marine specific architecture, the V MAX
SHO 175 will provide years of reliability.
Available Models: VF175LA

SLEEK DESIGN
Like its siblings, the V MAX SHO 115, V MAX SHO 150, V MAX SHO 200, V MAX SHO 225 and
V MAX SHO 250, the V MAX SHO 175 has powerful good looks, with a paint scheme that looks
like nothing else on the water.
EASIER FISHING
The V MAX SHO 175 is compatible with Yamaha's variable trolling RPM switch (VTS), which allows
anglers to adjust the trolling speed in 50 RPM increments from 650 to 900 RPM using a Yamaha
Command Link® gauge.
