Company news:


Boaters wanting to repower this summer with reliable Yamaha outboards now have until July 31, 2006 take advantage of the company’s “Repower with Yamaha and Take Command” promotion. Under the terms of the promotion, owners with used boats can save up to $6,635* in benefits depending upon the type of installation and eligible repowers.

The “Repower with Yamaha and Take Command” promotion applies to eligible outboards purchased between May 1, 2006 and July 31, 2006. It offers consumers one of two options. Option one includes a Yamaha Command Link™ Starter Kit and a credit to dealer towards eligible rigging/labor costs. Option two is exclusively a credit to dealer towards eligible rigging/labor costs.

“For boaters who have decided midway through the boating season that it is time to repower, this is a great incentive and savings to do it now,” said Dale Barnes, Yamaha Division Manager, Marketing. “The opportunity to upgrade to the new Command Link system is an added bonus.”

Command Link is Yamaha’s marine information management system and can consist of a variety of components, such as gauges linked together through a Local Area Network (LAN). The makeup of the Command Link Starter Kit varies depending upon the type of outboard installation.

“For the customer who decides its time to repower, he has a lot of options,” said Barnes. “If their used boat is already equipped with Command Link with an eligible outboard motor, the dealer can apply the credit towards labor for the installation of the eligible outboard.”

Under the terms of the promotion, customers can realize significant savings under Option One which includes the Command Link Starter Kit and credit to dealer for rigging/labor costs. For example, with triple outboard installations savings can be as much as $6,635. On twin outboard installations, savings can amount to approximately $3,593; and single outboard installations can save up to approximately $1,393. In each case, these approximate values include the approximate retail value of the Command Link Starter Kit. Options for eligible models vary based on horsepower and year of production.

There are specific eligibility requirements to participate in the promotion. For example, the benefits of Option One do not apply to Yamaha Outboards built before April 5, 2005. Option Two choices are exclusively based on a credit towards rigging/labor costs and are only available for eligible models manufactured in model year 2004, 2005 or after April 5, 2005 in which Command Link is not installed with the purchase, either due to engine incompatibility or customer preference. In addition, outboards are only eligible for the promotion if they are sold to a customer that is repowering a used boat they already own. Eligible outboard models must have been delivered and invoiced to the dealer by Yamaha. Additional terms, conditions and procedures apply. Customers should see their authorized participating Yamaha outboard dealer for complete details.
