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.
Designed exclusively for V MAX SHO® V6 20-inch-shaft outboards, V MAX SHO Series propellers are available in one-inch pitch increments from 22 to 27 inches, for fine-tuning wide-open-throttle RPM for tournament-level performance.
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.

V6 V MAX SHO Series

The second it hit the water, the Yamaha 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.

Features

Five of the last six anglers of the year powered by the V MAX SHO

The V6 V MAX SHO® has left a trail of trophies, titles and prize money in its wake. In fact, it was the power behind five of the last six five Bassmaster® Anglers of the Year. That includes Brandon Palaniuk, who said, “I’m gonna fish until the last second, no question. Because I’ve never second-guessed my V MAX SHO. All I have to do is turn the key. It’s going to start every time. There’s a peace of mind and a confidence in a motor like that.”
