PA R T N E R S :
THE MEMORIES AREN’T ALL THAT STAY WITH YOU.
Your time on the water is sacred. You return, season after season to make long-lasting family memories, reconnect with friends, remember what’s important and re-center yourself. If you count on having this time, you need an outboard you can count on to power it. That’s why boaters choose Yamaha for the long run. For life. Because reliability starts here.
REMEMBER to always observe all applicable boating laws. Never drink and drive. Dress properly with a USCG-approved personal floatation device and protective gear. © 2021 Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. All rights reserved. 1-866-894-1626
