    My boat flooded!!! Help!!

    So, I have a 2016 242x, I take it to the yamaha dealer for winterizing and summarizing. I am late to start the season this year so I just got it back from the dealer and I drop it in the water. I leave the boat tied near the launch with the motors running. I park the truck and walk back to...

    Location of on board battery charger?

    I got the charger installed, just fit against the ballast wall in the battery compartment. I have to work on tidying up the cables. Thanks for all the advice.

    Trailer Maintenance

    awesome info, thanks! I'll get some marine grade grease and hit the wheels, I definitely don't want a situation like @Ronnie!

    Trailer Maintenance

    I haven't done anything to my trailer since 2016. I might put 50 miles a year on it. Anyway, I looked through the trailer packet that came with my boat and I didn't see anything around maintenance. I'm guessing there are grease ports that should be hit once a season? I read somewhere that I...

    242X factory solar panels and AGM batteries

    I have a 2016 with the panels, I feel like they don't do much so I don't rely on them.

    Location of on board battery charger?

    @Brain, that's the exact charger I purchased. I like the idea of keeping the batteries and charger together but I'll install in the engine compartment if I run out of room. I'll take a quick peek at my engine compartment and see if the included cables provide enough length. Seems like I would...

    Location of on board battery charger?

    waaaayyy more room in the engine compartment. I know there are some folks against it but others have ran it that way for years without issue.

    Location of on board battery charger?

    I might have a location, it's going to take a little work to get it done. What do you guys think of installing the charger against the ballast wall? I made a template of the charger out of cardboard, here is where I am thinking: The location is on the other side of the black polk amp. I'll...

    Location of on board battery charger?

    I purchased a 3 port charger (Minn Kota) and after looking at the size of the unit and looking in my battery compartment, I don't see many options. Where have you guys placed your chargers? Here is the battery compartment The back wall seems to be the best bet, but it's tight The above...

    Shore power port

    Thanks! I was going to try to place the receptacle in a spot where I could leave the cover snapped and not run a cord underneath BUT, after thinking about it, I'm concerned about leaving it plugged in while it rains. I'm thinking under the cover would be best to protect a little from the...

    Shore power port

    I just purchased a Minn Kota onboard battery charger which takes a standard 120v input. I wetslip my boat and I have shore power. I would like to plug directly from shore power to my boat instead of running an extension cable under my cover. So the question is which port to get, 15A or 30A...

    242 Limited S E-Series Anchor/Navigation Light Broken

    I snapped my anchor light off a few years ago and I had the dealer replace it. ~$200 if I recall correctly.

    Battery Charger

    @bobholthaus - Where are you going to drill? I'd like to add an external port as well, just not sure where. As far as drilling through fiberglass there are some posts on this forum. I recall folks taping the entire area before drilling (blue painters tape). I think they used just a regular...

    Spot on vinyl - suggestions?

    I have a spot (yellow) on one of my seats that I got the first summer. It's still there, I just ignore it. from my experience no cleaner would remove that, at least not one that doesn't harm the seats. Be careful using abrasives on the vinyl

    Battery Charger

    I'm looking for a battery charger as well and Ultimately I would like a port on the outside of the boat so I can easily plug into shore power. I'll pick up the Minn kota 3 bank 15 amp charger as it looks like it's build well and does a good job. Any recommendations on an outlet on the outside...

    Depth finder issues

    I'm thinking of adding a GPS type device just to get the depth, maybe I should call the dealer and see if they have an insight.

    Depth finder issues

    Just started having an issue with my depth finder which displays in connext. A typical trip lately would be 1. start from my wet slip, depth gauge working properly 2. a short time after driving around, the depth will freeze at the current depth, and then start blinking with the depth not...

    Making coffee on a yamaha

    @ b0at1n, lol, they might want to include that in their future plans, I think it would do pretty well on the water.... @S1LV3R4D0, are you saying the kurigs draw too much power? converting a 12v to 100V and then running a mini kurig might cause issues? @giroux68, that's a good idea, I do a pour...

    Does this work on a 2016? Are there instructions for how to accomplish the tasks made possible by the cable?
