Yamaha Motor Canada adds another power option to its legendary V MAX SHO® family in 2018 The V MAX SHO 90 is the smallest of the SHO family but packs a big punch, offering class-leading torque and top speed.
“Light and compact, the new V MAX SHO 90 offers smaller boat owners the performance usually associated with two strokes, with the convenience, fuel efficiency and quiet operation of a four stroke,” said Jean-Francois Rioux, National Manager, Marine, Yamaha Motor Canada.
A single overhead camshaft drives four valves per cylinder on Yamaha’s V MAX SHO 90, delivering more power from less weight.
Not only is the V MAX SHO 90 fast, it’s also quiet, which means better fishing experiences. And it’s even quieter when equipped with a Yamaha propeller featuring the company’s exclusive Shift Dampener System (SDS™), such as the new Talon® SS4™ SDS propeller.
For more convenience and control, the V MAX SHO 90 is compatible with Yamaha’s variable trolling RPM switch (VTS™) for slow trolling and, again, better fishing. It is also Y-COP® compatible for increased theft protection.
Because it is a four stroke, Yamaha’s V MAX SHO 90 does not need an oil tank so there’s more space on board for storage or batteries. In addition, the all-new V MAX SHO 90 can be rigged for use with Yamaha’s award-winning multifunction tiller handle. Other features include a full 35 amps of alternator power and a long-span mounting system for less vibration.
The new Yamaha V MAX SHO 90 will be on display to the public for the first time during the 2018 Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal Boat Shows.
