🚤 Did you know?
At Border Marine Centre, one of the most common fuel related questions we get asked is about E10 fuel in Yamaha Outboards.

Yamaha outboards may be *compatible* with E10 fuel… but Yamaha themselves still recommend avoiding it where possible.

Why? Because boating conditions are very different to driving your car.

Boats often sit unused for longer periods, tanks are exposed to moisture and condensation, and ethanol-based fuels absorb water far more easily. Over time this can lead to:
• Fuel contamination
• Corrosion in fuel systems
• Injector and filter issues
• Hard starting and rough running
• Phase separation inside tanks

Modern Yamaha outboards from 2008 onward are designed to tolerate fresh E10 fuel — but “tolerate” and “recommended” aren’t always the same thing.

One of the best things boat owners can do heading into winter is:
✅ Keep fuel fresh
✅ Check fuel filters regularly
✅ Use quality fuel from busy servos
✅ Run the engine regularly where possible

Do you intentionally avoid E10 in your boat, or have you never had an issue with it?

At Border Marine Centre, we see the effects of poor fuel storage and contaminated fuel systems every season. A little preventative maintenance and the right advice can go a long way toward keeping your next trip trouble free.

🍂 AUTUMN CALLED… AND IT SAID YOUR OLD OUTBOARD IS THIRSTIER THAN YOUR MATE AT HAPPY HOUR 🍂

Right now, Yamaha are offering:
💥 $15 OFF PER HP on selected 30–90HP outboards
💥 Savings up to $1,350
💥 PLUS Yamaha’s current 4-year warranty offer

🎣 DID YOU KNOW?
A modern Yamaha 4-stroke can use significantly LESS fuel at cruising speed compared to older 2-stroke technology — while also being quieter, smoother and more reliable for those longer Murray River runs or winter trips north.

With fuel prices still unpredictable, efficiency matters more than ever.

So- if your current outboard:
❌ Smokes more than the campfire
❌ Needs “just one more repair” every season
❌ Sounds like it’s fighting for survival at the boat ramp…

…it might be time.

📍Talk to our team today about repowers, upgrades and finding the right Yamaha setup for your boat before the busy winter travel season hits.

🍂 Autumn boating in the Riverina hits different.

Cooler temps, calmer conditions, and some of the best fishing windows of the year across the Murray and Lake Hume. It’s also the time many locals start noticing just how much fuel their outboard is using.

💡 Here’s something worth knowing:
Modern EFI outboards can use up to 20–30% less fuel than older carburetted engines in typical recreational use—especially at cruising speeds and when idling or trolling.

With fuel prices still sitting high, that can mean:
✔ More time on the water
✔ Longer runs without refuelling
✔ Lower cost per trip

At the moment, Yamaha have quietly rolled out a mid-range promotion across 30–90HP outboards, with savings of $15 per horsepower (up to $1350 off) running through to mid-June.

It’s a good opportunity if you’ve been thinking about:

Repowering an older motor
Improving fuel efficiency
Getting your setup ready for upcoming trips

🚐 Heading North This Winter? Here’s What Most Travellers Are Getting Wrong…

Every year, thousands of Australians hitch up and chase the sun—but with fuel prices still sitting high, this season is a little different.

Because here’s the reality 👇

⛽ Towing a caravan can increase fuel consumption by 20–40%
🛞 Underinflated tyres can add up to 10% more fuel use
⚖️ Carrying just an extra 100kg can noticeably impact towing efficiency over long distances
🔧 And the biggest one? Poor maintenance = higher fuel burn and higher breakdown risk

So what does that mean for your trip?

It means a caravan that isn’t properly set up doesn’t just risk safety… It quietly costs you hundreds of dollars more in fuel on the way north.

⚠️ The part most people overlook…

We’re seeing more travellers caught out by:
• Worn wheel bearings failing mid-trip
• Brake issues on long descents
• Tyres that “look fine” but are aged or unevenly worn
• Electrical faults once they hit off-grid areas

The frustrating part?
👉 Most of it is completely preventable.

☀️ Smart travellers this year are doing things differently

Instead of reacting on the road, they’re:
✔ Checking tyre pressures and load balance
✔ Getting brakes, bearings and suspension looked at
✔ Making sure batteries, solar and electrics are ready for off-grid
✔ Fixing small issues before they become expensive ones

🛠️ Before you head off… it’s worth asking:
Is your setup working for you—or costing you more every kilometre?

We’re already seeing an increase in people booking in quick pre-trip checks, servicing and last-minute repairs before they head north—especially with fuel costs being what they are.

🌴 The goal?
Spend your money on the trip… not on fuel waste or roadside repairs.
