More time on the water.
Less fuel getting you there.

Yamaha’s 4-cylinder outboards are built to deliver smooth, quiet and fuel-efficient performance, helping you make every litre count.

With advanced electronic fuel injection for precise fuel delivery and the ability to run on 91 octane fuel, you get reliable, consistent power whether you’re heading out fishing, cruising Tasman Bay or enjoying a day with the family.

And with Yamaha’s legendary reliability behind you, you can spend less time worrying about what’s on the back of the boat and more time enjoying what’s ahead.

Thinking it might be time to upgrade your outboard?

Come and talk to the team about the right fuel-efficient Yamaha for your boat, including professional fitting and workshop support - link in bio.

Your trailer does more work than your boat all winter. Treat it accordingly. 🚙

Bearings, lights, tyres, couplings - towing gear cops a hiding from salt water and gravel ramps, and it's the bit most boaties check last (if at all).

A failed bearing on the motorway is a far worse day than a failed bearing in the driveway. Winter's the time to sort it while there's no rush.

We carry the full range of trailer parts and can fit them in our workshop.

Get your trailer checked by our team or order parts at boatingandoutdoors.co.nz.

Every year we hear the same thing...
"I'll book it in after winter."

Then spring arrives, the weather improves, and suddenly everyone's trying to get their boat serviced at once.... 😳

Winter is actually one of the best times to book - with shorter wait times and less pressure on the workshop, it's the perfect opportunity to make sure your boat is ready for the season ahead.

Anyone can sell you a box.
Not everyone can install it properly, set it up to perform, and be there if you need support six months down the line.

That's the real difference being part of the Boating & Outdoors network.

Every product in our range can be:
🛠️ Supplied - from electronics to engines to safety gear
🔧 Fitted - by technicians who do this every day
🔩 Serviced - ongoing support, not a one-off transaction
✅ Backed - nationwide warranty support through the dealer network

We call it the full boating journey - bow to stern, on-board systems to trailer requirements. One network, full support.

Visit us instore – we’re here to help!

Who remembers this classic?

to the legendary 85A, first released in 1978. Built to last and acclaimed as a "masterpiece of engineering", it's a testament to Yamaha's reputation for reliability that many are still out on the water today.

Its innovative three-cylinder design featured a one-piece cylinder block and crankcase for exceptional rigidity, while the perfectly balanced 120-degree crankshaft delivered remarkably smooth performance.

If you learned to boat behind an 85A, chances are you've got a story to tell. We'd love to hear it in the comments.

We get asked this a lot – “how do I choose the right fish finder for our local fishing conditions?”.
Buying a fish finder online based on specs alone is how a lot of Kiwi boaties end up disappointed.

NZ conditions are different - deep offshore drop-offs, murky estuaries, fast-moving currents, and a huge range of target species. The "best" fish finder depends entirely on where and how you fish.

Here's what actually matters:
🌊 Depth range - coastal reef fishing vs deep water gamefishing need very different CHIRP frequencies
📶 Screen brightness - NZ sun is brutal; a dim screen is a useless screen
🔌 Network capability - can it talk to your autopilot, radar, or other electronics down the track?
🎯 Transducer match - the unit is only half the equation

Our dealer teams fish these waters themselves. They'll match the unit to your boat, your target species, and your budget - not just sell you the most expensive box on the shelf.

Talk to your our experts before you buy, come instore to see the team!
