The Jet Pump Propulsion System

• The VX pump design: One of the most efficient pump configuration ever, increasing stream velocity and thrust while decreasing cavitation and prop spin.
• Reverse: Allows the watercraft to be backed up off a trailer or out of tight spots where you cannot turn around easily.
• 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 Powerplant

• Dry Sump Lubrication: Uses two engine oil pumps to deliver lubricating oil to each moving part with water-jacketed sump and oil backflow protection.
• 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 VX Deluxe is powered by a Yamaha MR-1® four-stroke engine. This is a compact, ultra-lightweight, four-cylinder, 1,052 cc, DOHC, 20-valve, liquid-cooled engine for class-leading performance.
• Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): Delivers 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.

The Ultra-Lightweight, High Strength Hull and Deck

• The VX Deluxe hull: Designed to be light and strong.
• Progressive, Stepper Draft 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-up and three-up riding experience.
