Yamaha VF115 V MAX SHO

The Yamaha VF115 V MAX SHO completely resets the performance threshold for 115HP outboards. Far from a standard, docile mid-range motor, this Super High Output powerhouse re-engineers Yamaha’s 1.8-liter block into a high-compression, aggressive speed machine. Equipped with a high-performance Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) layout and 16 valves, it breathes deeper and reacts faster than conventional engines in its class.

The secret to its devastating hole shot is Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT). This advanced system dynamically advances and retards the intake camshaft timing based on RPM, substantially amplifying low-end and mid-range torque. Whether you are blasting out of the hole on a bass hull or powering through heavy chop, the VF115 provides high-octane throttle response, signature V MAX styling, and incredible top-end speed — all while running on standard 87-octane fuel.

Key Features:

• Displacement: 1832cc inline-4 four-stroke (High-Compression DOHC)

• Shaft: Long (508mm / 20″) or Extra-Long (635mm / 25″)

• Starting: Electric start

• Fuel system: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) with long-track induction

• Power trim & tilt: Standard high-performance Single-Ram

• Weight: approx. 171 kg (377 lbs) — lighter than many competitive two-strokes

• Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) for instantaneous throttle response

• Command Link compatibility with Variable Trolling functionality

Ideal For: High-performance bass boats, flat skiffs, multi-species fishing hulls, bay boats, and performance pontoon configurations.
