Yamaha 115HP VF115XA V MAX SHO 25in Shaft

The Yamaha 115HP VF115XA V MAX SHO is a technologically advanced 1.8L powerhouse designed for mid-sized vessels requiring the reach of a 25-inch shaft combined with elite tournament performance. This 1832cc DOHC in-line four-cylinder utilizes a high-performance tuned intake manifold and aggressive ignition timing to deliver the “SHO” mechanical soul—instantaneous acceleration and a higher top-end speed than standard 115HP units. It is the premier choice for multi-species boats and performance pontoons where weight-to-power optimization is critical for navigating varying water conditions.

Refined for high-performance durability, the VF115XA leverages Yamaha’s specialized anti-corrosion treatments and sacrificial anodes to combat the rigors of high-salinity environments. The motor utilizes Multi-Point EFI for a clean-burning profile and consistent cold-weather starting. Ownership effort is reduced by the easy-access spin-on oil filter and the ability to utilize a wide variety of high-performance propellers. This model features a stable 35-amp alternator, ensuring battery health is maintained while powering advanced sonar arrays, GPS units, and essential shipboard safety lighting.
