The soundproofing foam in my engine hatch fell off at about the 8 hour mark. My original dealer "fixed" it and it fell off again at the 9.5 hour mark. My local dealer took a stab at it, but it didn't last either. They said that Yamaha knows about the problem but doesn't have a fix, and they suggested taking it out of the boat because they didn't want it to fall off into the engine bay while the motors were running.
It took me about a half hour to mount 9 feet of winch strap (like seat belt strap) to the 6 existing seat bolts using a stainless washer and a stainless nylock nut. I used a single piece. I routed it from bolt to bolt, and poked a hole in it at each bolt location. The strap gives lots of support without any major pressure points, and when the glue fails, it will stay in place.
