Yamaha Announces ‘Protection Plus’ suite of Customer Benefits
Yamaha Motor Australia has launched a sweeping range of customer features designed to deliver significant benefits to boaters who purchase a Yamaha outboard engine.
Operating under the banner of ‘Protection Plus’, the Yamaha package provides the very finest in customer value.Once again Yamaha stamps itself as the market leader for reliability, durability and outright value for money. No other outboard brand on the market in Australia even comes close.
The ‘Protection Plus’ package is available exclusively from authorised Yamaha dealers and includes …
Yamaha Marine Insurance
Extended warranty on Yamaha 2 stroke models - 3 years
Extended warranty on Yamaha 4 stroke models - 4 years
DataDotDNA theft protection
Extended Service Protection.
“This is the most comprehensive and broad raft of attributes ever offered to purchasers of outboard engines in Australia,” said Brett Hampson, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Marine Products at Yamaha Motor Australia.
“Each of the Protection Plus components deliver meaningful worth to Yamaha customers.A number of the individual programs are offered at no-cost to the consumer.”
Yamaha Marine Insurance is a fresh new product that is a world first for Yamaha. No other outboard company in the world offers its own brand of marine insurance. Yamaha Marine Insurance has an extensive range of features that are unique. Factors such as new for old replacement, exclusive use of genuine Yamaha parts, zero excess when DataDotDNA protected and so on, set the YMI policy apart from other marine insurance products.
“With the YMI product now released, Yamaha brings to the marine market quality Yamaha branded insurance and finance, the like of which is experienced with prestige automotive brands such as BMW and Mercedes Benz,” Brett Hampson said.
Yamaha’s extended warranty product support program has also been announced. Customers who purchase 2 stroke models (including the High Pressure Direct Injection VMAX models) are now backed with a full three year warranty.All four stroke models have a four year warranty.There is absolutely no additional cost to the customer for the extended warranty.The standard warranty is extended simply by customers having their Yamaha engine regularly serviced by an authorised Yamaha dealer – it’s that simple!
DataDotDNA is now applied to every Yamaha outboard engine sold and delivered in Australia.This is a free benefit to Yamaha owners.DataDotDNA is a unique identification code that is applied to each and every outboard in the form of microscopic dots that carry a unique code number.This code number is applied to the serial number and warranty registration of each Yamaha outboard.DataDotDNA has had significant effect in reducing professional theft in the automotive industry; there is no reason why it can’t do the same for the marine product.
Police and insurers are big supporters of DataDotDNA technology, for the deterrent factor alone. In the event of product theft, DataDotDNA enables Police to identify and match stolen goods back to their legal owner and assisting them to bring offenders to account for their actions.
Yamaha’s Extended Service Program (ESP) has been enhanced as it is now available on two stroke engines as well as four stroke models.Customers benefit from a fixed price servicing for 4 years on four stroke outboards and three years on two stroke models.Thanks to ESP, you can lock in the cost of servicing your Yamaha outboard engine for the first three or four years of ownership.
“At Yamaha we have developed a broad range of customer support programs to ensure that the purchase and ownership of a Yamaha outboard is simple and easy,” Brett Hampson said.
“Not only do we deliver peace of mind with the new extended warranty and DataDotDNA programs, but these are supported with the YMI, the best insurance in the industry and YMF, Yamaha’s own finance arm.”
Owning a Yamaha powered boat has never been easier thanks to Yamaha.
Yamaha outboards are available through an Australia-wide network of authorised Yamaha outboard dealers.The Yamaha range comprises trusty and dependable two stroke models from 2hp to 200hp, High Pressure Direct Injection VMAX models from 150hp to 200hp and low emission fuel efficient four stroke models from 2.5hp to the world’s largest production outboard- the 350hp V8 Yamaha F350.
