ENGINE
The 1.8 liter, 1812cc, supercharged, super high output Yamaha Marine Engine is the largest displacement engine ever installed in a personal watercraft offering the high-performance needed to enjoy a perfect ride.

Despite an increase of more than 70% in displacement compared to the existing model and the addition of the supercharger and intercooler, the increase in engine weight has been kept to just 15%. Also this engine has a completely new lubrication system that has been developed by combining a compact air-liquid separation chamber and a scavenger pump to achieve and unprecedented reduction in engine size while providing the lubrication function necessary to accommodate a PWC’s rugged use conditions.

EXTERIOR
Anyone who rides the FX Cruiser SHO is sure to be amazed at how easily such a high-performance machine as this responds to the will of the rider.

This hull is a veritable work of art that lets the rider maneuver at will and at times play across the waves with abandon. In every detail of its highly precise design you will find Yamaha’s ideals of PWC design.

The engine and the body alone don’t create the world’s best watercraft. You also need technology and great features for that. Features like the adjustable steering that reduces arm fatigue for additional comfort, the cruise assist that minimizes throttle tension for long afternoons of cruising, the remote transmitter that sets the RPMs for maximum fuel efficiency, the reverse traction control that governs engine speed to provide efficient use of the pump (impeller) and prevent over-throttling for smoother reverse motion, and many others make this waverunner one of the best on the market.

The FX Cruiser SHO has won more awards than any other personal watercraft in history. The unmatched performance of the Super High Output engine, the history-making ergonomics of Yamaha’s exclusive Cruiser seat, the breakthrough nano-engineering, and the luxury convenience features make the FX Cruiser SHO the absolute best touring watercraft on the water.

FEATURES
The Powerplant

The FX Cruiser SHO is powered by a 1.8 liter, supercharged, super high output Yamaha Marine Engine. This 1812cc engine, which is purpose-built for the marine environment, is the largest displacement engine ever installed in a personal watercraft. It is also the only engine in the high-performance, four-stroke category optimized to run on the least expensive Regular Unleaded fuel.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): Four electronically controlled fuel injectors, throttle position sensor (TPS) and intake air pressure and air temperature sensors supply the optimum air/fuel mixture. The results are 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 unwanted water ingestion.
High Volume Intake Box: With water repellent air filter and flame arrestors.
Wet Sump Lubrication: Uses two engine oil pumps to deliver lubricated oil to each moving part with water-jacketed sump and oil backflow protection.
Independent Water-jacketed Exhaust Manifolds with Collector: Achieves high power while keeping noise and exhaust heat under control.
Thermostatic Cooling System: Water flow through the engine is automatically controlled through a thermostat sensor.
Corrosion Protection System: Sacrificial zinc anodes protect the engine from harmful galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel fasteners (nuts, bolts, hardware) provide a long service life. Cylinders, cases and heads are all treated with a durable oxide coating to form a barrier between corrosion and expensive engine parts.
Electronically Controlled, Variable Ignition Timing: For exact ignition advance control at all throttle positions and RPMs.
Direct Ignition: For more efficient combustion.
The Jet Pump Propulsion System

The FX Cruiser SHO’s 155mm hyper-flow jet pump propulsion system: The three-blade stainless steel impeller is designed to maximize water flow for high performance. The FX Cruiser SHO pump configuration provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration.
The industry’s only Reverse with Traction Control technology: Maintains the perfect RPM to provide the optimal speed for effectively maneuvering when the watercraft is in reverse.
Quick Shift Trim System (Q.S.T.S.): Mechanically operated, this system offers instant change in the attitude of the watercraft while underway allowing for tighter turns or quicker acceleration on plane, as the rider prefers. Q.S.T.S. offers 24 degrees of total trim range.
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.
Pumps are Manufactured with YDC30: A combination of zinc and copper alloys, developed by Yamaha marine engineers, that offers excellent corrosion protection.

The NanoXcel Hull and Deck

The FX Cruiser SHO features the world’s first hulls and decks manufactured through the use of cutting edge nanotechnology. Yamaha’s NanoXcel ultra-lightweight, high strength material reduces the weight of the hull, deck and liner by 25% and provides performance gains in acceleration, fuel savings, top speed and handling. Additionally, the NanoXcel material offers a shinier, gem-like finish which reduces surface tension on the water, providing a more nimble, responsive ride.
Progressive, Stepper Draft V-Hull with Integrated Bow Spray Guard: Provides excellent maneuverability, handling and comfort.
Sponson Design: Provides added straight-line comfort and an improved two-up and three-up riding experience.
Additional Features
