    What did you do to your boat today?

    Monkey’d around with the Insta360. Not Yamaha content, but I’m getting the boat up north out and in the water this week, so will do some more with that.

    Need a cheap GPS

    Cool. Generally speaking I haven't had the best luck with phones getting good real-time continuous GPS fixes when they don't also have cell towers to triangulate against....but that depends on a bunch of factors. That's also a function of how the app drives / handles the GPS service on the...

    Need a cheap GPS

    My 222xd has it's beautiful GPS/chart system as part of it, but my Monterey's dash is partying like it's 1999. I got a Garmin GPSMAP 86SC. You'd have to specify "cheap", but when I looked at this recently, there were a bunch of options with a bad UI, and a GPS with a bad UI is a waste of money...

    Clean out port jammed

    Absolutely. I may have mis-interpreted the picture and description, but it looked like the plug was already rotated to the remove-position, but just wouldn't come out. Upward pressure definitely won't help if you can't rotate the plug to the right place. I never have a problem rotating the...

    Clean out port jammed

    Similar theory, but I use a fish hook with a long handle. That works better for me than a rope because the hook allows you to impart a concussive force that seems to work better to get things un-stuck. The couple of inches of travel that you get in the upwards direction before contact with the...

    Thrust Vector Question on 2023 FSH 222

    If you haven't yet, you might consider running the boat stock for a bit before installing another system. In my experience (for what it's worth, which may not be much for others) these boats are pretty darn good out of the box.

    house vs start switches on the 2024's

    Sounds good. If you got them to replace the batteries, good on you! Just wanted to point out though that the new batteries will do the same thing. The charging estimator on the Noco assumes that the batteries are not under load. As soon as you throw the battery switches, current starts to...

    house vs start switches on the 2024's

    Interesting thread, but as I understand what the OP is doing, he’s hooking up his charger directly to the battery terminals.

    house vs start switches on the 2024's

    I don't think that the relay (DVSR) is really relevant to this. I'm assuming that you are hooking your charger directly to the batteries. The sensing relay is used to connect the engine driven charging system to whichever battery needs it at any given moment. When you hook your chargers...

    What did you do to your boat today?

    Breaking it out of hibernation... It's getting kicked out of the marina one way or the other next week. The route home will take me into the Patapsco about a mile and a half from the Key Bridge....

    222xd vs Monterey 255ss

    I moved recently to Southwest Florida but am still going to maintain a presence in Maryland. I could have just moved my 222xd with me, but I still have family on the Chesapeake and the Yamaha is really ideally suited for the upper bay and associated rivers. So, after looking at a bunch of...

    Cabbage Key Florida

    I'm new to the area and haven't explored all that much, but the Boat House is a convenient Tiki Bar if he's in or near Cape Coral. For anchoring up, Pelican Pass on the NE side of Cayo Costa has a nice sandbar. Depending on when though, he'll have some company. I'm in Punta Gorda, and if they...
