RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY 

The V MAX SHO features an advanced cowling drain system, 
to easily and effi ciently drain away any water that enters 
the cowling during normal engine operation. Incoming air 
is routed through a labyrinth of passages that trap and 
drain water before it enters the engine’s intake, for 
maximum reliability.

V MAX SHO outboards have an exhaust pressure 
reduction system, which not only helps keep the propeller
hub cooled from hot exhaust gases, it also helps provide 
power by “forcing” those gases out of the engine during the 
critical hole shot and acceleration phases.

All V MAX SHO outboards utilize a large, on-engine water
separating fuel fi lter with a water sensor. Used in conjunc-
tion with Yamaha’s 10-Micron Water Separating Fuel Filter, it 
helps separate water and contaminants from the fuel before 
they can reach the outboard’s other fi lters and fuel injectors.

A multitude 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, durability, and 
effi ciency.
