Yamaha VF115 V MAX SHO 2.8L VF115LA Outboard Motor 2018

Description

With a top speed of almost 51 mph, the I-4 V MAX SHO 115 is Yamaha’s fastest four-stroke engine ever with 115 horsepower. In addition to its remarkable speed, it has technology that is unheard of in its class, such as a knock sensor, free-flow exhaust, and long-track intake system. Even so, it weighs ten pounds less than a competitor’s two-stroke.

Convenience and Control

EASY RIGGING: I-4 V MAX SHO® outboards are compatible with analog, 6Y5 digital, or Command Link® gauges and include mechanical controls that make rigging most bass, bay, and flats boats simple and convenient.
EXTRA SPACE: An external oil tank is not required because of the four-stroke in-line configuration. As a result, the boat will weigh less and have more space to store tackle and equipment.
AMPLE CHARGING POWER: The V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 alternators exhibit an 11% boost in charging power at 50 amps compared to the two-stroke 150 HPDI®.

Power and Performance

QUIET POWER AND PERFORMANCE: The I-4 V MAX SHO® design produces clean, quiet power and performance by optimizing combustion efficiency in a manner that no two-stroke engine can match.
Variable Camshaft Timing, a characteristic of the V MAX SHO® 175 and 150, regulates the intake camshaft’s angle to boost power and throttle responsiveness in the low- and mid-RPM ranges.
FUEL EFFICIENT: Compared to conventional carbureted two-stroke engines, in-line Four V MAX SHO® designs can save up to 40% on fuel consumption.

OPTIMUM POWER: The long-track intake system and precision multi-point electronic fuel injection work together to optimize power and fuel efficiency across the In-series Four V MAX SHO® outboard series.
POWER MANAGEMENT: The Engine Control Module (ECM), which quickly makes the appropriate changes for optimal performance, receives important atmospheric and engine conditions from a variety of sophisticated sensors.

Reliability and Durability

The outboard is protected by the engine warning system, which has several features such as water-in-fuel detection, over-rev protection, shift-in prevention at open throttle, start-in-gear protection, low-oil-pressure warning (which automatically lowers the maximum RPM to 2000), and overheat protection.
IMPROVED LUBRICATION: Wet sump pump lubrication that employs an oil pump and pressurized oil delivery system.

CORROSION PROTECTION: Our unique Phaze FiveTM electro-deposited, anti-corrosive paint technique, when combined with our proprietary alloy (YDC-30), offers a robust, five-layer corrosion barrier. All four-stroke Yamaha I-4 V MAX SHO® engines come with this protection as standard.
UNBEATABLE RELIABILITY: To catch and drain water that enters their cowlings during regular operation, the I-4 V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 include an air intake labyrinth system and a cowling drain system.
