2025 Yamaha Marine VF200 VMax SHO

The Yamaha V MAX SHO. Quicker, stronger, smarter and lighter...outperforming two strokes on hole shot, displacement, fuel economy and weight.

Features may include:

• Yamaha's Variable Camshaft Timing system advances and retards the angle of the intake camshaft to dramatically increase power and throttle response in the low- and mid-rpm ranges. This feature helps Yamaha's new 4.2-litre big-bore V MAX SHO four stroke provide awesome hole shot and mid-range acceleration you have to feel to believe.

• The Yamaha V MAX SHO is faster than even the vaunted V MAX Series 2 that it replaces. This means four stroke smoothness, convenience, and reliability; with top speed better than that of our direct-injected two-stroke of comparable horsepower.

• Engine exhaust is routed through a maze before exiting above the waterline through the idle exhaust relief outlet, for unbelievably smooth and quiet operation. A mufflerless design creates a more direct exhaust flow and a pleasing sound of power at idle.

• Yamaha's exclusive "In-Bank" exhaust system exits downward through the center of the engine between the "V" of the cylinders, rather than on the exterior side. This increases combustion efficiency for more power and torque, and also provides for a more compact shape.

• The Yamaha V MAX SHO is 34 pounds lighter than the V MAX Series 2 it replaces. In fact, no other equivalent horsepower production V6 bass outboard is lighter, including two strokes. From the specially re-designed engine bracket to the new lightweight cowling, every ounce of weight savings has been realized without sacrificing durability.

• With 46 amps of total alternator power at 1000 rpm and a full 50 amps from 2000 ~ 6000 rpm, V MAX SHO outboards offer the kind of charging power needed to help operate today's wide array of on-board electronic devices.
