Which WaveRunner is Supercharged?

The Yamaha GP SVHO™ WaveRunner models are equipped with a supercharged engine, delivering exceptional performance on the water.

Understanding Supercharged WaveRunner Performance

Yamaha's high-performance personal watercraft (PWC) line includes models engineered for superior power and acceleration. The core of this enhanced performance in certain WaveRunners is the inclusion of a supercharged engine.

The Yamaha 1.8L supercharged Super Vortex High Output Marine engine provides unmatched power and torque, surpassing any WaveRunner before it. This powerful engine is a cornerstone of Yamaha's top-tier performance models, found in the GP SVHO™ series.

Key Features of Supercharged WaveRunners

• Engine Type: The Super Vortex High Output (SVHO) marine engine is a 1.8L, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, 16-valve engine, specifically designed for high performance.
• Forced Induction: Unlike naturally aspirated engines, the supercharged SVHO engine utilizes a supercharger to force more air into the engine's cylinders. This process dramatically increases horsepower and torque output.
• Enhanced Acceleration: Riders experience immediate and powerful throttle response, making these models ideal for spirited riding, competitive use, and towing.
• Performance-Oriented Models: Supercharged engines are typically integrated into Yamaha's most aggressive and performance-focused WaveRunner series, such as the GP SVHO™.

Benefits of Supercharging in WaveRunners

Supercharging significantly boosts an engine's output, offering several advantages for riders:

• Dominant Performance: Experience rapid acceleration and higher top speeds, perfect for thrill-seekers and those who demand peak performance.
• Optimal Power-to-Weight Ratio: Despite the robust engine, these WaveRunners maintain an excellent power-to-weight ratio for agile handling and nimble maneuverability.
• Reliability: Yamaha's engineering ensures that even with the added power of forced induction, the engines maintain high levels of reliability and durability for prolonged enjoyment.
