The lightest member of the V MAX SHO family is built for one thing: making small, sporty hulls feel incredibly exciting. Smart weight-saving measures and finely tuned intake and combustion deliver the power of a much larger engine in a compact, easy-to-handle package. It looks cute, right up until you open the throttle!

The cowling’s aggressive lines and bold graphics hint at the performance beneath the cover, making the engine part of the boat’s attitude rather than just machinery on the transom.
Fuel is delivered with precise accuracy. Yamaha’s EFI system ensures smooth starts, consistent acceleration, and excellent efficiency—providing reliable performance with less hassle and fewer stops for refuelling.
A silent safeguard against costly mistakes. The tilt limiter prevents over-tilting and protects the cowling and transom from accidental contact. You may never notice it—and that’s exactly the point.
That’s why a dead battery is never part of the plan. The dual-battery charging system intelligently separates the starting and accessory batteries, ensuring power flows where it’s needed and providing reliable starts—even when the playlist, chartplotter, and fridge are all running at full power.
Your outboard, on your terms. Yamaha’s immobilizer secures the engine at the touch of a button, providing discreet security without any hassle. Think of it as car-like convenience with the peace of mind you expect on the water.
Remove the salt. Extend the life. Simply connect a hose to the front-mounted connection and flush the system without starting the engine. Less corrosion, easier maintenance, and more time for everything else.

Enjoy unbeatable reliability and performance with Yamaha’s 5-year warranty, exclusive to Europe. The warranty applies to recreational-use outboard motors from 2.5 hp up to XTO models and includes comprehensive parts and labour coverage. Keep your engine in top condition with Genuine Parts and Yamalube oil from authorised dealers, and enjoy worry-free adventures with Yamaha’s renowned quality.
