Yamaha 175HP – 20″ V MAX In-Line 4 offers 20-inch transom power and 175 horsepower. It also offers very high performance and light weight along with all the benefits of four-stroke power. Including clean, quiet and great fuel efficiency. The Yamaha V MAX SHO 175 is the solution with all the benefits you need!
Great overall performance and class – leading top speed come courtesy of Yamaha’s Variable Camshaft Timing System ( VCTTM ) , which helps the 2.8 – litre in – line four develop lots of power in the midrange where it counts.
Power and Performance.
- Quiet Power and Performance: The I-4 V MAX SHO® design maximizes combustion efficiency in a way that no two stroke can, delivering clean, quiet power and performance.
- Midrange Power and Response: Yamaha 175HP – 20″ V MAX In-Line 4 feature Variable Camshaft Timing, which optimizes the angle of the intake camshaft to increase power and throttle response in the low- and mid-RPM ranges.
- 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: Yamaha 175HP – 20″ V MAX In-Line 4 has 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 and Durability.
- Unbeatable Reliability: The I-4 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: Yamaha 175HP – 20″ V MAX In-Line 4 has a 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: Yamaha 175HP – 20″ V MAX In-Line 4 is 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 I-4 V MAX SHO® four-stroke engines.
Convenience and Control.
- Extra Space: A four stroke in-line design means there’s no need for an external oil tank. That means less weight and more storage room in the boat for tackle and gear.
- Ample Charging Power: At 50 amps, the V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 alternators boast an 11 percent increase in charging power over the two stroke 150 HPDI®.
- Easy Rigging: Yamaha 175HP – 20″ V MAX In-Line 4 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.

Steve York –
I repowered my boat and went from a F60 Yamaha to 175hp Vmax in line 4. I was going to buy the F70 Yamaha but couldn’t see the value considering the engine capacity was the same as the F60. I wanted more grunt for my heavy plate alloy boat so the 1.5 litre engine versas the Yamaha 1 litre sealed the deal. I love the limit switch setting on the tilt which stops the motor hitting any obstruction in the boat. It uses less fuel than the F60 and really jumps the hull out of the water.
Rozef Colin –
Just did the 300hr service. Incredibly good on fuel, reliable, smooth and quiet. This is my 1st Yamaha outboard motor and its every bit as good as previous Yamaha and Honda outboards I’ve previously owned, so happy i found this site i had been loosing money with other vendors
