New Yamaha VF225LB 225hp V Max Sho Outboard Engine

The second it hit the water, the V6 V MAX SHO® defied all expectations. It brought four-stroke efficiency to the two-stroke world of competitive fishing. The circuit had never seen anything like it—and the V MAX SHO quickly became the pro anglers’ power of choice. More than a decade later, it’s still going strong—recently powering four consecutive Bassmaster® Angler of the Year titles. It’s clearly still a competitive choice, and it’s getting even better. The V6 V MAX SHO now offers 40 percent more charging power, wrapped in a striking, new cowling design.

KEY FEATURES

Charging Power: The V6 V MAX SHO now produces up to 70 gross amps of charging power. This exciting, 40 percent increase in charging is more than enough juice for your growing array of on-board tech. They can also be equipped with an optional isolator lead to better charge house or trolling batteries.

Real-Time Performance Data: Optional digital backlit gauges provide real-time outboard performance, boat systems and environmental data at your fingertips. Streamlined displays are designed to withstand the elements and are available in square or round style for single- or multi-engine applications.

Fast, Easy Tilting: With a quick double-tap of the trim button, Yamaha’s new, exclusive, TotalTilt® performs a full tilt up or down, until it reaches the trim rams. This makes trailering quick and easy and is handy when a complete up or down tilt is needed.
