Power and Performance

The In-Line Four V MAX SHO® design maximizes combustion efficiency in a way that no two stroke can, delivering clean, quiet power and performance.

The V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 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.

In-line Four V MAX SHO® designs are up to 40% more fuel efficient than traditional carbureted two strokes.

Convenience and Control

With 50 amps for the In-Line Four V MAX SHO 175 and 150, and 35 amps for the 115 and 90, their alternators produce enough power for battery charging and a range of on-board electronics.

In-Line Four V MAX SHO® 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.

The In-line Four V MAX SHO® 175 and 150 now feature a tilt stop lever, relieving the pressure on your hydraulics during maintenance, trailering or extended storage.
