My '17 clean out is always full of water which explains the need for the drain. I spoke to Yamaha and their engineers said the leakage is expected and normal. My main complaint (covered in another post) was the water leaking past the wet locker hatch and adjacent seams by the screws. I placed marine sealant and a marine weather stripping there and stopped all draining into the bilge after that. So I'm not convinced that's a drain out yet. Or at least it's a poor excuse to not seal up the wet locker and just let water overflow onto the swim deck. Would make it a little bit like a spa back there since the water does warm up
The strange thing is adding the flip up jump seat doesn't subtract from your space. I mean you are not losing anything behind the seat because it's a flip up. I picture seat cushions littering the freeways to join my front seat cushion that blew off at 65 mph. As said before, cost? Don't be cheap Yamaha. Don't.
Hey that's pretty cool... We can have a crapper in the console, and a bidet in the wet locker.My '17 clean out is always full of water which explains the need for the drain.

Why? Other than "cool" factor (I guess), why do you want NMEA on your plotter? What will you gain or what will you get info for that you don't get now?

I see you've been hanging at the bitter barn.
Ah, didn't realize this was the Smithsonian...
