Yamaha Motor Australia has officially launched Yamaha PowerMatched, a turnkey, factory fitted solution that pairs Yamaha outboards and genuine Yamaha rigging components with selected boat models.
This innovative program is designed to deliver optimal compatibility, outstanding on-water performance, and an enhanced customer experience.
POWERMATCHED – BOAT & MOTOR PROGRAM
Each PowerMatched boat package is delivered showroom-ready, having been installed to Yamaha’s exacting factory standards by a Yamaha certified installer. This provides customers with complete peace of mind, knowing that their boat has been professionally set up and optimised for its intended use.
Jason Harris, General Manager of Yamaha Marine, stated, “We are excited to roll out Yamaha PowerMatched. For the first time ever, Yamaha has developed a program that formally accredits our boat builder partners to provide a complete boat, motor, and rigging solution that meets Yamaha’s strict quality assurance standards, while delivering an exceptional all-in-one boating package straight from the factory floor to the dealer showroom.”
He added, “By working hand-in-hand with our boat builder partners, we’ve created a completely seamless boat and outboard application solution. It removes complexity from the boat-buying process and delivers a high-quality integrated product that ensures consumers hit the water with confidence.”
To ensure consistent quality across every installation, Yamaha delivers extensive on-the-job training and assessment directly on the factory floor. Yamaha Certified Technicians must meet strict PowerMatched installation competency requirements before they are approved to work on these packages.
For a boat model to receive Yamaha PowerMatched status, it must meet specific installation standards that are reviewed and signed off by a Yamaha Application Engineer. Once approved, Yamaha provides the boat builder with detailed installation guidelines, rigging documentation, and quality control procedures, enabling full-scale production of the approved model.
REPOWER WITH AUSTRALIA’S LEADING OUTBOARD
Yamaha’s complete range of outboards and accessories is known across the industry for reliability, durability, and value. The range covers everything from small 2-horsepower engines up to powerful 450-horsepower models. Whether you’re looking for an environmentally friendly option, a rugged model for commercial use, or a motor designed for coastal and commercial fishing, Yamaha offers an outboard for virtually every boating application.
In addition to their engines, Yamaha also offers advanced marine technologies designed to enhance the boating experience. These include an engine information management system that keeps the driver informed of engine status and navigational data, along with boat control systems that assist with low-speed maneuvering in tight spaces.
The Yamaha Command Link Plus system and Helm Master EX are among the many innovations aimed at making boating easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
