2022 Yamaha 210 FSH SP Pre-Rigged wiring for trolling motor from the factory

[Carolina Rob]

I recently purchased a 2022 Yamaha 210 FSH SP. I was told during the sales process (I could be wrong though) that this model comes pre-rigged with wires for the trolling motor from the factory. After purchasing my trolling motor and asking the dealer to install it, I am now being told that it is not pre-rigged, so the original quote for the trolling motor installation had to be revised upward to account for the additional labor involved in running the wires.
Who has purchased a similar Yamaha recently that can tell me if their boat came pre-wired or not. This could be as simple as the sales rep being misinformed or it could be an actual bait-and-switch.

Did your Yamaha come re-rigged with wires for the trolling motor?

Please share your thoughts.

As far as I know, they do not come pre-rigged with any wiring. Never heard of one having that from the factory. Dealer should of known this, or perhaps the sales guy was new.

Picked up my '22 210 FSH Sport about two weeks ago. Definitely not prewired for a trolling motor.

I have found multiple sources (Boat test.com) among others that previous models of the 210 came pre-rigged as recently as 2019. I wonder when they actually sopped doing so. The sales rep was probably just not aware of the change.

Can anyone with a 2019/2020 confirm this? I also just saw this at BoatTest.com while looking for more info?

Also wouldn't it be tough to pre rig, not knowing how much current you are going to pull across the wires and were the batteries would be since that would determine wire guage for safety.

I have a 2020 and it didn't have jack from the factory except a flimsy aluminum mount that wasn't attached, predrilled, or anything.

It isn't hard to wire your own in. If the dealer is charging a lot and you are good with tools or mechanical things, it is pretty straight forward.

No, not pre-rigged on the 2019, and the FSH never has come from the factory that way. You can rig it pretty easily yourself, happy to provide some tips if you need them.
