    new 195s owner rookie questions

    The binnacle / "throttle lever" slipping down towards idle with the vibration of the boat is also known as "throttle drop," and has been a "feature" of Yamaha boats for a while now. I believe there's a way to take apart the lever and tighten it to reduce this from happening. Our "Ridesteady...

    Questions for new AR250

    For what it's worth, we get correspondence periodically from owners of E-series boats (i.e. with "throttle by wire") asking if our product works with it (it doesn't). Apparently once you weigh it down with ballast, the factory cruise fails to maintain the set speed and requires a lot of...

    New Auto Launch feature now available for Ridesteady owners

    As soon as you push the throttles somewhat forward, the ramp up to speed begins. Since the throttles always set the maximum speed Ridesteady is allowed to go, if you don't push the throttles full forward from the beginning, you're somewhat defeating the auto launch functionality. I would...

    Yes, you would push the throttles full forward from the start.

    2016 212x Tachometer not working

    For what it's worth, our Ridesteady for Yamaha system provides engine tach (RPM) information, along with GPS speed. And it does track engine hours, but it starts the counter at 0.0 unless you set it otherwise. However, it does not interface with the Yamaha CAN bus. So it cannot read logged...

    Thanks so much for the kind review, @anmut ! In fact, the Auto Launch was a fair amount of work to develop, and it's great to hear it's being well received! :)

    convert 242XE to a 242X non E

    Thanks for the kind words, Brian! Yeah, it's hard to believe Yamaha hasn't fixed this. You're definitely not alone.

    Twin engine throttles

    The cable adjustment may help allow the engines to be engaged at about the same throttle lever travel. There are many reasons why the engines sync at different throttle levels. Water flow at the jet pump, potentially different pitch impellers, differences in power output of engines, "tolerance...
