Convenience and Control

  • EASY RIGGING: In-Line Four V MAX SHO® outboards feature mechanical controls for easy, convenient rigging with most bass, bay and flats boats, and are compatible with analog, 6Y5 digital or Command Link® gauges.

Features

  • Prop shaft horsepower - 115 hp at 5,500 rpm
  • Compression ratio - 10.0:1
  • Recommended fuel - Octane 87
  • Recommended fuel filtration - Yamaha 10-micron fuel / Water separating filter (external)
  • C.A.R.B. rating - 3-Star
  • Intake - 16
  • Spark plug - LKR6E
  • Ethanol blend limit - 10% maximum
  • Degree of tilt - 70°
  • Compatible controls - Multi-function tiller handle
  • Compatible gauges - Digital and analog

Power and Performance

  • QUIET POWER AND PERFORMANCE: The In-Line Four V MAX SHO® design maximizes combustion efficiency in a way that no two stroke can, delivering clean, quiet power and performance.
  • FUEL EFFICIENT: In-line Four V MAX SHO® designs are up to 40% more fuel efficient than traditional carbureted two strokes.
  • OPTIMUM POWER: Precision Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection and long-track intake system combine to maximize power and fuel efficiency across the line of In-Line Four V MAX SHO® outboards.
  • POWER MANAGEMENT: An array 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.

Reliability & Durability

  • UNBEATABLE RELIABILITY: The In-Line Four V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 feature a Cowling Drain System and Air Intake Labyrinth System to trap and drain water that enters their cowlings during normal operation.
  • BETTER LUBRICATION: Wet sump pump lubrication that uses a pressurized oil delivery system through an oil pump.
  • ENGINE WARNING SYSTEM: This system protects the outboard with a range of functions including: overheat protection and low-oil-pressure warning (automatically reducing maximum RPM to 2000), over-rev protection, water-in-fuel detection, start-in-gear protection and shift-in prevention at open throttle.
  • CORROSION PROTECTION: Combined with our proprietary alloy (YDC-30), our exclusive Phaze Five™ electro-deposited, anti-corrosive paint system provides a tough, five-layer barrier against corrosion. This protection is standard on all Yamaha In-Line Four V MAX SHO® engines.
  • SMART DESIGN: A tilt stop lever on the In-line Four V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 preserves the hydraulics by taking the pressure off them during maintenance, trailering or extended storage.
