    2018 242x overheat alarm

    There may be a run-time timeout or temperature threshold that is not being met. I went out at least once between trying the 3 start/stop cycles - it's possible that the engines didn't run long enough to reach operating temperature before being shut off. My cycles were fairly long and I only...

    Reverse cavitation

    The dealer explained to me that you can exceed the reverse RPM limit in no-wake mode - of course I haven't confirmed, but I'm curious if it will work for you. No wake mode, in and out of neutral seems to work well for me, but I consider myself to still be a novice. I do experience the...

    2018 242x overheat alarm

    Great, you found it - that was the same code I was getting. It was trial and error for me on the code reset. I spent weeks combing the net for information and keep coming across the 3 start/stop cycles. Low and behold, it worked for me. Make sure you off the batteries and give the ECU time...

    2018 242x overheat alarm

    You have to press and hold the System button to get into the system menu (can't remember specifically but a search on this forum should help. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't check. I'm almost 200mi from my dealer so a trip to reset the code was out of the question. Yes, just three...

    2018 242x overheat alarm

    florchak you can reset the code with 3 good/normal start and stop cycles. Yes the dealer could clear the code for you, but I was successful clearing it myself. I did it while flushing at the house. The final cycle will still alarm, but the code will clear right away. You can verify it...

    2019 Connext Navigation Question

    Cparker2, unless Yamaha decided to improve the functionality of the Connext maps for '19 boats, you won't be able to change the map orientation. I have the 12.3" screen in my '18 with the maps and it's not possible. Perhaps a future firmware enhancement *shrug*

    Brand new boat - Check engine(s) fault - thinking it's battery related?

    You would need the house battery on, only to tie them together (with the yellow switch) if the start battery is drained. If the DVSR wire is not attached, which dealers commonly forget to do, it would prevent the stator from charging both batteries while the engines are running. Since they...

    Brand new boat - Check engine(s) fault - thinking it's battery related?

    As the others have said, I would suspect the condition of the batteries. Also check to make sure the connections are tight and no corrosion exists - and they are properly connected. AR240 battery connection As for the switch positions, the manual is clear as mud, but you are right, you...

    Auxiliary button on 2018 242x

    Here are the photos of the Aux connector behind the helm. Hope this helps sir!

    Auxiliary button on 2018 242x

    Yes sir, I'll try to get one taken this weekend. Apologies for the delay - we had a bit of a wind storm down here (Michael) and since I work for the electric utility, they've had me busy as a bee.

    Bought OEM SX240 mooring cover, what am I doing wrong?

    I have to clip both sides together, then muscle the cover over the stern lip. It's gotten easier over time, but definitely had me scratching my head at first.

    2018 242x overheat alarm

    Wow... Thank you for checking on this Rusty. We have to figure out an easier way to reset this code without having to visit a dealer or invest in swatski's solution.

    Auxiliary button on 2018 242x

    I don't have a photo at this time, but there is a capped plug behind the helm labeled Aux. I added a powered sub to augment the bass in my '18, tying it into that feed. One push of the switch and the amp turns on. Not sure what the circuit is rated for, but the current draw on the powered sub...

    2018 242x overheat alarm

    Let me know what you find out Rusty, same issue with my '18 - code won't clear even after battery disconnect for several days. Went through a patch of weeds on my last outing and plugged up the intake. After a cleanout the temp alarm went away, but the code is still set. I'm 4.5hrs from a...

    2018 242x house battery while anchored question.

    Weeb is right, that's the ground for the DVSR and since both batteries share a common ground it shouldn't matter which one you connect it to. When you do install a charger/tender, remember to disconnect this wire while charging otherwise the dual-bank charger may not properly handle charging...

    2018 242x house battery while anchored question.

    Funny how the dealers have differing opinions on what is best, they told me to never use the parallel switch unless the start battery isn't strong enough to do its job. I went with the Noco Genius GENM2, which is relatively inexpensive and gives me a little piece of mind before I put-in. I...

    2018 242x house battery while anchored question.

    Fascinating, will try the Fusion head unit next time I'm out. My '18 E-Series screams like a stuck pig when I off the start switch either while the Connext is running or if I boot it up with the start switch off. I just assumed it was normal behavior, and to leave the start switch on while...
