Technology limits are stretched still further in this compact and light, yet extremely powerful engine, which delivers superb out-of-the-hole performance, acceleration and top speed – it will not go unnoticed when you open the throttle!
Extending the boundaries.
Famous for their incredible torque, our V MAX engines also show a quiet side: we have harmonised all the inertial mass components and added large rubber engine mounts for a whole new level of smooth!
The use of lightweight, mounting brackets, power trim and tilt mechanism and composite body parts – with a state-of-the-art compact engine layout, means the new V MAX SHO 115 transforms the feel, handling and performance of any boat.
Features
DOHC design with four valves per cylinder
The V MAX SHO 115hp features Yamaha's advanced 1.8-litre, four-cylinder, four-stroke engine, with 16-valves and double-overhead cam (DOHC) layout. Put simply, the result is better breathing – for better combustion and performance across the power spectrum. The V MAX SHO 115hp powerhead design is based on Yamaha’s proven four-stroke technology, so quiet reliability is assured.
High-power 35 Amp alternator
We want to make sure that you never lack power for starting, battery charging or running accessories when you’re out on the water, which is why we equip the V MAX SHO 115hp with a three-phase alternator. With its 35 Amp capacity, it even has the power to charge your batteries at trolling speed. That’s called peace of mind – and you can expect it when you own a Yamaha.
