Yamaha's quest for innovation has pushed beyond the manufacturing stable and onto the pages of their new 2009 catalogue.

Bursting at the seams in full-on colour and gloss, the stunning 40 page catalogue features the entire range of Yamaha outboards plus a unique fold-out spread on the world-first V8 4-stroke models from Australia's best selling outboard brand.

Local Australian boating brands feature heavily across the pages of Yamaha's latest catalogue with a great selection of photos highlighting some of Australia's most popular boat models exploring Australian waterways.

"We're really proud of our new 2009 catalogue. We believe it highlights the strength of our range." said Brett Hampson, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Marine Products at Yamaha Motor Australia.

"We continue to offer Australian boaters an ever expanding suite of products, accessories and premium services each year which means the number pages needed to promote them continues to grow. It is also great to be able to promote Australian boat brands on Australian waters using our Yamaha outboards."

Yamaha has also unveiled a sweet of new products and technologies for the 2009 boating season with the recent upgrade of the ground breaking 250hp 4-stroke engine topping the list. Delivering drive-by-wire technology for ultra smooth throttle control and gear shifts, the new F250B offers both recreational and commercial boaters a newly refined high-horsepower Yamaha outboard experience.

Protection Plus continues to be a popular service for Yamaha customers who wish to have complete protection for their Yamaha outboard and boating products. Comprising Yamaha Marine Insurance (YMI), DataDotDNA, Extended Service Protection (ESP) plus extended 3 and 4 year warranties, Protection Plus offers true peace of mind and is outlined in full at the beginning of Yamaha's new 2009 catalogue.

The Yamaha family is also growing each year with a range of boating identities, sports personalities and leading Australian businesses all choosing the power of Yamaha outboards. Featured throughout the 2009 catalogue, Australia's own WBA World Champion boxer Danny Green, prolific fishing writer Steve Starling and internationally respected Huon Aquaculture salmon enterprise all rely on Yamaha.

Available throughout Yamaha's extensive dealer network, the new Yamaha 2009 Series outboard catalogue is a must read for all serious boating enthusiasts.

Yamaha outboards are available through an Australia-wide network of authorised Yamaha outboard dealers.  All Yamaha 4-stroke outboards are supported with a full 4-year manufacturer's warranty and all 2-stroke outboards are backed by a 3 year warranty - standard conditions apply.
