2018 Yamaha VF200 V MAX SHO V6 4.2L VF200LA Outboard Motor

This 2018 Yamaha VF200LA is a new V MAX SHO V6 built on Yamaha's 4.2-liter platform, model code VF200LA. Confirm the exact horsepower figure with us before ordering, since the listing's own specification block is inconsistent on that number for this unit; everything else below is confirmed.

Charging and instrumentation

Total alternator output reaches a full 50 amps between 2,500 and 6,000 RPM, with 46 amps already available at idle, enough headroom for livewells, electronics and a trolling motor running together. Optional Command Link gauges, available in square or round styles, can display real-time engine and boat data for single- or multi-engine setups.

Build and durability

A re-engineered cowling, bracket and lower engine pan trimmed weight from the previous two-stroke generation, and the proprietary Phaze Five anti-corrosion paint system over YDC-30 alloy is standard across this engine family. A single timing belt with an automatic tensioner reduces the number of moving parts that need periodic adjustment.
