Can you elaborate on your specific gripes with it?
I would have hoped that they would install an OEM system that would be up-gradable over time, but that is complicated. Most boat sellers have realized the need for add on GPS/Radar/etc systems and just design their dash board with open space to accommodate this (like they did with the FSH). I guess they are targeting more of the "Lake Boat" market with their open bow runabouts, so those of use that use them in the ocean end up with RAM mounted GPS units of our choice.

Looks live Dave has been on the board sometime 
...Not bad at all with a full cash payment!!!
Congrats on the nice boat. With luck someone will come up with a way to improve the GPS on it. The OEM systems are generally "fixed"/"set" and there is not much incentive for the builder to make it better once they take your cash. Perhaps a module to implement at least screen mirror for cell phone so you could use Navionics or some other app near shore? Don't hold your breath, but be sure to compile your gripes and alert Yamaha corporate, at least that can help future users.
Can you elaborate on what you think doesn't work well? Perhaps others have come up with a work-around or other ways to do what you want it do to..
Your first two messages in the thread read like straight stream of consciousness, and the lack of commas, periods and breaks in some cases made it less than easy to read...that's probably the source of some of the humorous comments about your health and alcohol level. This board is pretty relaxed and folks are quite friendly, so stick around some more to see it for yourself. It is what is it, but adding a few commas and line breaks will go a long way to help folks get a good understanding of your comments and concerns.
Best of Luck!
