Engine and Performance
Super Vortex High Output Power
The 1,812 cc SVHO engine uses a supercharger with intercooler to increase air intake pressure, thereby improving combustion efficiency. The result is rapid acceleration from standstill and a sustained high-speed capability.
Specifications:
-
Displacement: 1,812 cc
-
Induction: Supercharged with intercooler
-
Fuel Capacity: 18.5 gallons
-
Top Speed: Approx. 67 mph under standard conditions
Because this platform is designed for both recreational riders and performance enthusiasts, Yamaha has engineered the SVHO engine for smooth throttle response and stable operation in variable water conditions.
Hull and Construction
NanoXcel 2 Technology
The FX SVHO hull uses NanoXcel 2, a proprietary Yamaha composite material. This construction provides weight savings without sacrificing rigidity. In practice, the hull’s reduced mass improves cornering agility and fuel efficiency.
Dimensions
-
Length: 140.9 inches
-
Width: 48.4 inches
-
Height: 48.4 inches
-
Dry Weight: 833 lbs
Additionally, the FX SVHO’s hull shape promotes stability during high-speed runs and while stationary in rougher waters.
Control Systems
RiDE Dual Throttle System
The RiDE system uses independent forward and reverse throttles. One lever controls forward propulsion, while the other controls reverse and deceleration. This arrangement simplifies docking, loading, and low-speed maneuvers.
Trim and Cruise Assist
-
Electronic Trim: Allows bow adjustment for speed runs or choppy conditions.
-
Cruise Assist: Maintains constant speed for long-distance travel.
-
No-Wake Mode: Restricts engine output for regulated waterways.
Storage and Practicality
The FX SVHO offers 33.2 gallons of total storage, distributed across sealed compartments. Riders can carry safety gear, tow ropes, coolers, or personal items without crowding the cockpit area. Storage locations include a bow compartment, glove box, and under-seat compartments.
