OFF-THROTTLE STEERING
The
off-throttle steering feature
assists the driver in turning
while the watercraft is
decelerating. |
|
|
|
|
4-CYLINDER, 4-STROKE ENGINE
This
lightweight, clean-burning
engine is more fuel efficient
than the competition delivering
fun, performance and
reliability. |

| The Powerplant |
- The
VX™ is powered by a Yamaha MR-1™ four-stroke engine.
This is a compact, ultra-lightweight, 110
horsepower, four-cylinder, 1052cc, DOHC, 20-valve,
liquid-cooled engine for class-leading performance.
-
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI):
Delivers a smooth, high power output with low fuel
consumption and low exhaust emissions.
-
Specially Designed, One-piece Cylinder and Crankcase
Assembly: Provides
tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and
stiffer than two-piece designs.
- Slant
Detection Switch:
Electronic switch stops engine and oil pumps
immediately if watercraft becomes overturned,
protecting motor from water ingestion.
- Dry
Sump Lubrication: Uses
two engine oil pumps to deliver lubricated oil to
each moving part with water-jacketed sump and oil
backflow protection.
- Yamaha
Engine Management System (Y.E.M.S.):
An integrated, computerized management system that
controls and adjusts such functions as ignition
timing, fuel injection mapping, engine diagnostics
and OTS. The OTS function of Y.E.M.S. activates when
the operator releases the throttle lever and
attempts to steer the watercraft. This assists the
operator in turning while the watercraft is
decelerating.
-
Thermostatic and Pressure Controlled Cooling System:
Water flow through the engine is controlled by a
thermostat and pressure system and is maintained by
a pressure control valve.
-
Corrosion Protection System:
Sacrificial zinc anodes protect the engine from
harmful galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel
fasteners (nuts, bolts, hardware) provide a long
service life.
-
Electronically Controlled, Variable Ignition Timing:
For exact ignition advance control at all throttle
positions and RPMs.
|
| The Jet Pump Propulsion
System |
- The VX
pump design is one of the most efficient pump
configurations ever,
increasing stream velocity and thrust while
decreasing cavitation and prop spin.
-
Stainless Steel Impeller Housing Liner:
For high durability, the liner maintains accurate
clearance tolerances between the impeller and the
housing.
- High
Flow Intake Duct and Grate:
The dynamic shape of these items directs water flow
into the pump for better thrust, performance and
hook up.
-
Cooling Water Intake Filter:
Filters out harmful debris that could cause blockage
of important cooling water passages.
- Pumps
are Manufactured with YDC30:
A combination of zinc and copper alloys, developed
by Yamaha marine engineers, that offers excellent
corrosion protection.
|
| The Lightweight, High
Strength Hull and Deck |
- The VX
hull is designed to be light and strong.
-
Progressive, V-Hull with Integrated Bow Spray Guard:
Provides excellent maneuverability, handling and
comfort.
-
Performance Sponson Design:
Provides added straight-line comfort and an improved
two and three-up riding experience.
|
| Additional Features: |
-
Multi-function Electronic Information Center:
Provides the operator a quick read on speed, RPM,
fuel level, low fuel warning, low oil pressure
warning, overheat warning, hour meter, check engine
light with self diagnostic function.
- 19
Gallons of Total Storage:
Includes a large bow storage locker and glovebox.
-
Comfortable One-piece Seat:
Ergonomically-designed and contoured for added
support. The extra-long seat is easily removed for
quick access to the engine compartment.
- Extra
Large Boarding Platform:
Provides a stable platform for re-boarding.
- Finger
Throttle Lever:
Provides added comfort while reducing hand fatigue.
-
Yamaha's Trademarked Visibility Spout®:
A waterspout from the rear of the craft that
improves the watercraft's conspicuity.
