HIGHLIGHTS

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

A multitude of advanced sensors constantly provide vital atmospheric and engine conditions to the Engine Control Module (ECM), which instantly makes the precise adjustments for optimum performance.

POWERFUL & FAST

Great overall performance and class-leading top speed come courtesy of Yamaha's Variable Camshaft Timing System (VCTTM), which helps the 2.8-litre in-line four develop lots of power in the midrange where it counts.

KEY FEATURES

Smooth & efficient: The VF175 is 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 per cent 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.
