22/02/12 - The breezometer at the boatyard this morning is spinning like a spinny thing on a spinny day. It's certainly breezy. As well as the breeze it is raining hard too and will more than likely continue this way until later in the day when the wind might die down a bit.

Yamaha @ Abersoch Boatyard Services Ltd

We are proud to be associated with such a quality brand and over the years we have supplied many outboard motors from the Yamaha stable.

For 2012 we will continue to supply engines, parts and accessories to the UK market safe in the knowledge that Yamaha Uk will keep us supplied with exactly what we need, when we need it.

Our main area of Yamaha business is smaller outboard motors, in which we do well, and in the last few years we have supplied motors to Spain and France, Scotland as well as keeping our local customer base supplied with top quality motors.

From the superb Yamaha F2.5

To the mighty, class leading F350

We can supply these and everything in between. To view the full range of Yamaha outboards click here

If you need a new small outboard for your tender, or if you are re engining your Boston Whaler, please give us a call or drop us an email and see what we can do for you and your boat.

We are in the business of supplying advice, parts and engines without the flim flam of plush showrooms and hundreds of engines on show. We are a good honest boatyard which does the job right, first time.

Innovation

Over the last few years Yamaha have introduced a number of innovations which are serving to keep their engines well ahead of the competition. The best and most useful one of these is the YCOP system.

The F30 and F40 engines were first to be fitted with the system in 2009 and the F150 engine was the latest engine to have the system fitted in July 2011.

Y-COP immobilises the engine by “locking” the engine’s ECM (Electronic Control Module), which in turn shuts down the fuel injection and ignition. The system is activated via a remote-control device, which transmits a signal to a special receiver within the outboard engine. There are numerous fail-safes built into the Y-COP system.

It works as follows

The marine insurance industry has been so impressed with the development that certain providers are offering a discount on your insurance if your engine is YCOP equipped.

Reliability

It's not often that the RNLI bring out a new inshore lifeboat, but a couple of years back they did just that, and launched the Atlantic 85. The RNLI don't mess about and needed a reliable engine partner for the new boat and after extensive trials the Yamaha F115 was chosen as the engine to power the new fleet of 85's.

They were chosen because they do the job in the worst of conditions, and they continue to be reliable after many hard services and rescues.

If Yamaha are good enough for the RNLI, they sure are good enough for you and your boat!

To celebrate this prestigious partnership the RNLI and Yamaha have teamed up to offer free Offshore membership to anyone who purchases a brand new Yamaha outboard in 2012 from 2.5 to 350hp

Yamaha Parts, Spares and Accessories

We are again proud to be able to supply Yamaha genuine parts and accessories to both the public and trade. With an online catalogue and ordering system covering models back to the mid 1980's we are pretty confident we'll be able to supply you with the parts you require to fix your Yamaha outboard should it go wrong.

If you need a part, no matter how big or small we can supply it to your location quickly and efficiently. All we ask from you is that when you contact us please have the model and serial number of your engine so we can deal with your enquiry promptly. If you are emailing us please try and include a photo of the part you require, this helps immensely

Email us for parts enquiries

We can also supply a vast range of service parts, from oil filters to spark plugs and we also stock a range of genuine Yamalube products so your outboard can always run on genuine Yamaha oils which were developed to keep your outboard running sweetly.

Park & Launch a go go!

Well we have 5 weeks until we crank up our newly fettled tractors for the 2012 Park & Launch season. We are hoping that the season will bring some great boating weather too so that everyone can get out on their boats more than last season. If you still haven't seen the light and you are getting your boat launched elsewhere, give us a call or drop us an email and we'll get you booked on to the yard for 2012. Take a look at our Park & Launch page for more details

Happy Valentines Day!

As well as being a day for buying pointless rubbish for your loved one and generally being too soppy for your own good today will be remembered as the day we launched our For Sale page on the website.

It's a pretty self explanatory page, you want to sell something down here in Abersoch and we can advertise it for you. We'll probably have more success advertising boaty type stuff, but if you need to sell you patio heater or even a bbq, send us some details and we'll stick it on the page of you!

A Boatshow, of sorts!

Having had some success with the RC Lasers Tim has now taken it upon himself to promote the class to a wider audience. With this in mind Tim and his bucket of enthusiasm will be helping out on the MYA stand at The Dinghy Show at Ally Pally on 3rd & 4th March.

The MYA is much like the RYA but for model yachts and has over 2000 members in more than 100 clubs accross the UK. We hope to promote not only the RC Laser that we love so much, but also the other classes sailed under the MYA umbrella. If you're in town pop along and say hello!
