Description
The Yamaha VF175LB is a 175hp V MAX SHO four-stroke outboard with remote mechanical controls, electric start, power trim and tilt, and a 20" long shaft, weighing 480 lbs. Built for bass boats, flats and bay boats, and other performance hulls. As an authorized Yamaha dealer, Boat Specialists sells it new with the full Yamaha 3-year factory warranty, after our factory-qualified technicians test-run it.
Yamaha's In-Line Four V MAX SHO outboards pack signature V MAX SHO hole shot and acceleration into a light, streamlined design, with 16 valves and electronic fuel injection for efficiency and performance. The VF175 delivers exhilarating hole shot and class-leading top speed.
Yamaha VF175LB Key Features
Extra Space: A four stroke in-line design means there's no need for an external oil tank. That means less weight and more storage room in the boat for tackle and gear.
Ample Charging Power: With 50 amps for the I-4 V Max Sho 175, the alternators produce enough power for battery charging and a range of on-board electronics.
Easy Rigging: I-4 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.
REQUIRED FEE
$410 Dealer Engine Prep - Our factory-qualified technicians perform a full test run of your new outboard by unpacking it and connecting it to the rigging, fuel, battery, and a diagnostic computer. We run the motor up to operating temperature and test every function to make sure your new motor is working just as it should. The manufacturer's required inspection checklist is completed and submitted to the manufacturer to validate the warranty.
Yamaha VF175LB FAQ
What size boat is the Yamaha VF175LB for?
Built for bass boats, flats and bay boats, and other performance hulls. Always check your boat's capacity plate for its maximum horsepower and weight.
Do I need a short or long shaft?
Measure your transom from the top edge straight down to the bottom of the hull: about 15" calls for a short shaft, 20" for a long shaft, 25" for an extra-long shaft, and 30" for an ultra-long shaft. The VF175LB has a 20" long shaft. Not sure? Call or text us at (805) 644-6290 and we'll help you choose.
What comes with the VF175LB?
Standard features and included items: power trim & tilt and owner's manual. The propeller is not included.

A propeller is sold separately, along with any controls, gauges or rigging your boat needs. We can help you pick the right parts, and our team can rig it for you.
