Help needed - 242x

[Stanfna]

I'm hoping one of you will be able to help me. I have a 2020 242x. The ballast controller (F3F-U8197-10-00) failed last year and they are sold out EVERYWHERE. I've been talking with Yamaha Corporate over the past year and they still do not have an estimate as to when this part will go back into production. They said if I can find one, they will pay for it.

Anyone have an idea where I can find this part??

Has anyone seen a salvage yard out there that would have a 242x being parted out?

Thanks!!

I’m not getting an error. I tried to hold the setting menu and I went to the ballast screen. No luck.

This switch is a little confusing. I assume all the way left is off and all the way right is off. So I leave it in middle.

They should have had analog switches they were not working from day one correctly and now as they age they do not work at all

Boat Stuff Thread 'Ballast Pump Jumper Cable'

Sep 17, 2018

This is mainly for the 2016 - 2022 boats with factory ballast it could possibly work with other models or be updated as I get more info on the different configurations .

• Over ride and power up the pumps to drain water or fill to the max if the timers get out of sync with what’s in the bag.
• Expand the system using plumbing fittings to allow the stock pumps to fill the transom bag or other bags eliminating the need for a tsunami or other type of plug in pump. I run two feed lines into the...

Boat Stuff Thread 'Yamaha switch controller kit for stock ballast pumps'

Oct 6, 2020

The Kit is a complete plug and play solution that allows you to control the ballast pumps from a series of switches to fill and empty the ballast bags without using the Yamaha System. The Yamaha system is not very comprehensive and is plagued with timer issues, making it very difficult to get to the proper fill and empty capacities.

Cost is $260.00 + $25.00 shipping to the lower 48 PM me for payment options

The kit consists of:
