It's not missing...it's simply not needed in boats because it doesn't get exposed to water splashes like they could in jetskis so Yamaha saves a few bucks by not including them. I would have preferred they include them too for a more finished look.One of my friends owns a Yamaha boat. He opened my engine compartment and said it appeared I was missing a cover for the electronics. Here is a pic. Is a cover missing?
Great in theory - except the boats leak and water splashes in the engine bay.It's not missing...it's simply not needed in boats because it doesn't get exposed to water splashes like they could in jetskis so Yamaha saves a few bucks by not including them.

I looked at this post and then my boat - no covers on that panel for either engine. It does appear there SHOULD be one. Mine's a pre-covid built boat too (November of 2019).One of my friends owns a Yamaha boat. He opened my engine compartment and said it appeared I was missing a cover for the electronics.

Maybe some...mine is bone dry in the engine bay as it should be (bilge too). No boat should have water "splashes" in the engine bay.Great in theory - except the boats leak and water splashes in the engine bay.
Yes the covers are all the same. There's an older thread on here somewhere and I think they bought covers to put on their boat ECM's. Personally I don't worry about it as the area should be dry.So one could probably find the cover by looking up a 1.8L jet ski...
