SHARE YOUR YANMAR STORY

Written by

YANMAR IS CELEBRATING 50 YEARS of recreational marine solutions and they want all YANMAR owners to share their stories.

The campaign will honour YANMAR’s more than a century of diesel-driven solutions across all sectors, with decades of dedication to quality control and sustainability.

The half-century celebrations started in September 2021, marking YANMAR’s first purpose-built engine for recreational marine use – the PMX one-cylinder 6-8 hp models, in 1971. This was followed by the introduction of the YSE (Yacht Series Engine) in 1972, specifically for sailing yachts.

The three-month Celebrating 50 Years of Recreational Marine Solutions campaign will feature boaties’ personal YANMAR stories and experiences on social platforms, with great prizes.
