    Video how to add a 2nd bilge pump to a Yamaha 242X

    I like the video and all but, I mounted a 2nd pump In our old '18 242x. I put it low as could be in the stern almost to the drain plug. I found the the center engine compartment where the OEM pump is the best location. The one in the rear didn't even get water unless there was almost 4" of...

    Another Clean-Out Plug Thread

    I believe that from a stop and doing a hard launch that this is where air was being induced into the pumps on my 255xd.

    255X sound deadening

    My '22 255xd didn't even come with black foam. . While looking I found that the hatch wasn't even sealing when closed. In the picture the gap between the red and yellow line was 5/8" . The 1/8" foam tape was a joke.

    But then you do not have a Large touch screen remote. Using the large rotary knob that controls the Conext screen for audio is great. YOU DO NOT NEED said harness. IF you use AMP with HI level inputs. OR the LOC. You just cut off the plug that goes into the OEM amp. The Audio control units...

    Yes this amp will work. This amp will not need RCAs. You will connect to the Hi level inputs.

    New Amplifiers on 255

    Yes with the right amp but then there still is not a need for a $50 - $100 harness. Just cut the OEM plug and wire directly to the Hi level inputs.

    If you are Going to make these I hope you are using the golden pins/ females and not the standard Tin . I have made plenty of custom harnesses for these boats. I started making them in 2018 but stopped making them around 2022. First when they did away with the Fusion head unit the upgrades...

    New Amplifiers on 255

    There is a bunch of Info on this and I will get you links. But First thing will you ever put it back to stock ( like when you sell the boat)? thene you will need an adapter from OEM to wires for the next part. If not go back ever, then you need a line level converter for 4 zones = 6ch. plus a...

    Sharrow Props

    These props are like a 2 stage prop. The most important thing is how the two are link at the end. This keeps the water from slipping off the blade of the prop. So I do not believe you will see this prop become an impeller. We already have a pump tune to keep the water exactly where it needs to be.
