Stainless performance for Yamaha V MAX SHO 4-stroke outboards

Yamaha’s VMAX SHO M/T Series props are stainless-steel, performance-tuned 3-blades built for fast hole-shot, strong mid-range, and stable top-end on bass boats, bay boats, and high-lift hulls running V MAX SHO engines. Use the quick sizing guide below to zero-in on the right diameter/pitch for your rig.

If it's speed you're after, look no further than Yamaha's VMAX SHO propeller. Designed specifically for use with the Yamaha VMAX SHO 4-stroke outboard, this outboard propeller boasts superior speed and acceleration without sacrificing control. The VMAX SHO propeller combines a stainless steel construction and a large-diameter three-blade design for maximum grip, and flexibility, and outstanding durability.

How to choose Yamaha VMAX SHO Propellers (M/T Series)

• Start with WOT spec: Your prop should let the SHO reach the upper end of its factory WOT RPM range under typical load (people, fuel, gear).
• Pitch ↔ RPM rule of thumb: Changing pitch by 1″ usually moves WOT by ~150–200 RPM in the opposite direction (↓pitch = ↑RPM; ↑pitch = ↓RPM).
• Diameter & lift: Larger diameter and certain blade geometries increase lift and grip in chop but can trim a little top-end; smaller diameters can free RPM on lighter hulls.
• Use case targeting:
• • Tournament hole-shot / heavy wells: favor slightly lower pitch and strong lift geometry.
  • Max cruise/top speed on light hulls: favor slightly higher pitch that still meets WOT.
• Engine height & slip: If you see ventilation in turns or porpoising, check engine height (one hole at a time) before changing props.

Fit tip: Verify rotation direction and hub/kit requirements for your SHO model before checkout.

Why VMAX SHO M/T Series (benefits at a glance)

• Stainless construction for stiffness (holds pitch under load) and durability.
• Large-diameter 3-blade designs for bite, lift, and predictable handling.
• Tuned for SHO 4-stroke torque curves – crisp acceleration with steady mid-range.

Sizing & pricing cues

• Sizes: Offered across multiple diameter/pitch combinations to match SHO models from mid- to high-horsepower.
• Pricing: See individual product cards for current price; use filters to compare by size and application.

Install & basics

• Grease the prop shaft splines, fit thrust washer → hub/prop → hardware in the OEM order, torque the prop nut to spec, and secure with a new cotter pin where applicable.
• After water-test, recheck nut torque and inspect for any rub or hub slippage.

Troubleshooting (common symptoms)

• Over-revving at WOT: pitch likely too low or engine mounted too high.
• Can’t reach WOT range: pitch too high, excess load, or engine too low (drag).
• Ventilation in turns/chop: damaged edges, engine height high, or hull lift mismatch.
• Vibration: bent blade or debris – inspect and service before next run.

FAQs Yamaha VMAX SHO Propellers (M/T Series)

What materials are M/T Series props made from?

Stainless steel.

How do I pick the right size for my V MAX SHO?

Match your WOT RPM target first, then fine-tune pitch (±1″ ≈ ~150–200 RPM) and diameter/lift for your hull and load.

What’s the difference between M/T Series and other Yamaha props?

M/T Series are performance-oriented stainless models tailored for SHO applications; other Yamaha families (e.g., cruising or offshore lines) prioritize different hull/usage profiles.

Is there a left-hand (counter) option?

Some sizes offer counter-rotation for twin setups – check the product page/filters.
