Yamaha FX SHO: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Yamaha FX-SHO series personal watercraft features a length overall of 140.2 inches, a beam of 48.4 inches, and an overall height of 48.4 inches. The dry weight is 853 pounds for the Cruiser SHO and 851 pounds for the FX-SHO. Both models are built on the same platform with key differences in features and design. Powered by an 1812cc supercharged intercooled 4-stroke 4-cylinder marine engine, these watercraft are engineered to run efficiently on regular 87 octane unleaded gasoline. The fuel tank capacity is 18.5 US gallons, and the total storage capacity is 33.2 gallons.

Exterior Design and Features

Yamaha has redesigned the forward section of the FX-SHO series with a flatter, more aggressive profile, including a familiar bumper system and a low-profile rubber rail. The wing mirrors are positioned outward for enhanced usability and provide a good field of view aft. The hulls are constructed from Nano XL, a lightweight material formed through a closed mold process that ensures precise and consistent hull shapes. The redesigned sponsons measure 24 inches by approximately 5 inches and contribute to the watercraft's stability and sharp turning capabilities. The aft deck is full beam with a depth of 13 inches, featuring a large reboarding step with grab handles for easy access.

Console and Controls

The console on the FX Cruiser SHO model includes a large analog gauge centrally located to display RPM or speed, flanked by two multifunction digital displays that provide information such as fuel consumption, speed, and compass headings. The FX SHO model features a single multifunction display. Both models utilize an electronic key system that allows locking, unlocking, and a low mode to limit maximum RPMs for less experienced riders. The handlebars are ergonomically designed with adjustable positions to accommodate both standing and seated riding styles. Controls include throttle lever, no wake mode, cruise assist with incremental speed adjustment, engine cut-off lanyard, start/stop buttons, trim adjust for jet pump nozzle angle, and a redesigned reverse gate control with a release latch for smooth maneuvering.

Storage and Seating

The FX Cruiser SHO offers a three-tier stadium seating arrangement designed for comfort, while the FX SHO features a sportier seat aimed at more aggressive riding. Storage is ample, with a gasketed forward compartment that remains dry even when exposed to water, a dry storage area in the console for valuables, and a pull-out waterproof container located under the aft seat. Additional storage compartments are accessible beneath the seat, including easy access to the battery and engine flush system. The tow line connection is conveniently positioned under the seat, allowing the observer to sit comfortably facing aft with grab handles for safety.

Power and Performance

The FX-SHO series is powered by a purpose-built 1812cc supercharged intercooled 4-stroke 4-cylinder engine paired with a jet pump featuring a three-blade stainless steel impeller with a 17.5-degree pitch. Performance testing recorded a top speed of 66.7 miles per hour at 7,500 RPM, with a fuel consumption rate of 19.2 gallons per hour, yielding approximately 3.47 miles per gallon and a range of 58 statute miles. Typical cruising occurred at 4,500 RPM, averaging 30.1 miles per hour while consuming 5.1 gallons per hour, which translates to 5.96 miles per gallon and a range of 99 statute miles. Acceleration from zero to 30 miles per hour averaged 1.7 seconds. The reverse gate system demonstrated excellent maneuverability with distinct positions for reverse, neutral, and forward, allowing precise control during docking and low-speed maneuvers.

Conclusion

The Yamaha FX-SHO series combines advanced engineering, thoughtful design, and robust performance features to deliver a versatile and high-performing personal watercraft. With its refined hull construction, ergonomic controls, comfortable seating options, and efficient powertrain, the FX-SHO models cater to both recreational riders seeking comfort and enthusiasts looking for aggressive handling. The comprehensive storage solutions and user-friendly features such as electronic key operation and cruise assist further enhance the overall riding experience.
