Yamaha extends colour options on outboards
With boat owners increasingly looking to customise the look and finish of their boats, Yamaha has announced the release of pearlescent white engine options on their popular F115, F150 and F200 outboard line-up. Yamaha Marine, National Marine Manager, Richard Shaw said, “Our customers have told us they want more choice, better integration and increased customisation, when it comes to powering their pride and joy.” “In 2020 we launched our industry leading Helm Master EX joystick boat control system, taking outboard integration to the next level. “More recently we launched our new
Yamaha V6 Offshore range which saw Yamaha’s exclusive built-in electric steering and enhanced reverse thrust capabilities come across from our big-horsepower V8 XTO425, with the choice of pearlescent white and traditional Yamaha grey finishes. “We are now offering this pearlescent white model option across all our key highhorsepower models including XTO425, F300, F250 and now F200, F150 and F115, allowing owners of fibreglass, painted and wrapped aluminium hulls to match their engine colour to their boat finish.” yamaha-motor.co.nz
The AnyDesk remote access app, one of the latest additions to the Raymarine LightHouse apps family, is proving to be a real game changer for technical support teams and dealers. Released as part of the latest LightHouse software update, AnyDesk allows support technicians to remotely access a customer’s Axiom system and quickly and efficiently diagnose and resolve issues that may otherwise require a vessel visit. Customers simply connect their Axiom to the internet using a wireless network or mobile hotspot, open the AnyDesk app and provide the code to a technical support person in order to begin a remote session via a PC. The technician can then view their entire system in real time, remotely perform diagnostic and system checks in order to quickly locate and resolve network or system issues. Lusty and Blundell service manager Reg Werner says AnyDesk is completely changing the way he and his team are able to solve issues. “For example, we had an out-of-town customer that was experiencing chart plotting problems. “Using AnyDesk we were able to identify and resolve the problem in just over 10 minutes. “It definitely is a game changer.” Phone: (09) 415-8303
