    Yamaha 2024 line up …

    The "wake" models still can't (legally/safely per the USCG capacity plate) carry near enough ballast (from the brochure, emphasis added)... "22FT X Models - 2,050 LBS is the maximum total weight of persons and cargo shown should include the weight of the ballast (if equipped), which is 1,100...

    Battery drain with switches left on, key off

    This is how the ABYC standard is written... 10.8.4 Multiple conductors connected to a battery shall be installed with the highest ampacity conductor terminal closest to the battery, followed by successively smaller ampacity conductor terminals. 10.8.4.1 A maximum of four conductor...

    Battery drain with switches left on, key off

    In the shunt install pic it looks like the smaller wire/ring terminal is under the larger one. Do the shunt directions advise to install that way? If not change the connection so the heavier/thicker wires are below the smaller/lighter ones. Otherwise you are effectively throttling the current...

    Portable Power Station to Maintain Batteries

    Keep in mind that you don't want to drain the EcoFlow much past about 25% or so for longevity sake. Plus, the inverter will have a significant parasitic draw (for example, per some solar generator gurus the Delta Pro inverter is reported to draw 30-40W, which is about 1% per hour).

    2022 255X reverse Bucket issue experience

    The standards definition is "Nominal System Voltage(s) - commonly used voltages such as 12, 24, and 32 VDC." I don't know how that would be interpreted given different battery chemistries.

    2022 255X reverse Bucket issue experience

    FYI, there are industry standards for maintaining proper propulsion and steering control given low (or high) system voltage. It sounds like there are a lot of Yamaha steering issues labeled simply as "sensitive" to voltage that in actuality are not operating in accordance with industry...

    Wakemakers ballast bags for 212x

    The wake boats are built and rated for that higher ballast. The Yamaha boats are not... For example, my 21 foot vdrive weighs 4100 lbs, and is rated for an additional 2100 lbs of ballast AND 2000 lbs of people - emphasis on AND. So I'm pushing 8200 lbs exactly as designed and rated. The...

    Wakemakers ballast bags for 212x

    Keep in mind the maximum weight capacity for the 212X is about 2100 lbs. That doesn't leave much for people.

    2023 Model Info and 22' Model Info

    I talked to a dealer in Florida yesterday and they said 2022 22' deliveries aren't expected until February or March at the earliest. They said Yamaha was still working on final tooling tweaks after feedback on the prototype models.

    Has anyone installed trim tabs on their Sugar Sand boat?

    You don't need a trim tab to help get the Tango on plane, it is so quick it should plane in a few seconds stock. The trim tab will help but definitely isn't needed. The trim tab is a massive improvement in running through any kind of waves or chop, since the boat is so light. I would try to...

    Has anyone installed trim tabs on their Sugar Sand boat?

    I had the Place Diverter trim tab and it worked great, a must have. Be careful how you install it though, mine was relatively low and I flooded it after too many sub moves.

    Drone pics and vids

    One of the better drone YouTubers (don't recall which one) advises to... let the drone hover (don't try to fly it into your hand, as the obstacle avoidance will kick in), then reach up to grab it from underneath and then quickly turn it upside down (which automatically shuts down the props).
