2020 195S Build Thread WARNING PIC HEAVY

[Crob83]

my stereo shop installed a new marine battery ( i think the same as stock) after adding just 1 amp. However, the switch has OFF, 1 and 2. 1 is for the stock battery that runs everything. 2 is the second battery which also runs everything. 1 dies switch to 2. Sooo, is that ok? or does it matter? obviously we don't want to kill the second battery

The switch probably has a 1, 2, both & off I would think. And yes that's how mine is, but I have a crank and a deep cycle. I use the crank when just cruising around, then when I set up shop for the day and throw anchor I switch to 2(deep cycle) to crank my tunes. Half the time I forget and leave it on battery 1(crank) and the boat still fires up everytime even after listening to music for 6 hours straight. But all I have is one 450 watt amp and 2 tower speakers added

I spent some time yesterday at the dealer discussing the install for the ACR. Yamaha certified mechanic was very hesitant about anything that would change all the standard systems from the start battery. He recommended I only run the amps directly to the stereo battery deep cell. He definitely recommended a gell cell blue top. Also showed me the start wiring diagram for the automatic isolation during start.

I really like the onboard charger idea! Much better than clip on trickle charger process I am currently using

This is why I kept my sound system on separate batteries. I did however pull the Fusion head unit from swim deck, cut its power and ground wires, and rewire it to sound system batteries as well. So I can use it independently with sound system only batteries. Leaving house battery for starting and running.

As long as both batteries are run independently your fine. If they are run in parallel then your draining both at the same time

After bouncing around and hitting some hard chop, any evidence the 3/4" screws holding the fire extinguisher are pulling out?

Not a single problem at all with them. We don't go into hard chop, but had her in 1' chop end of the season still no issues at all.

Makes sense - using that configuration are you still able to use the fusion screen in the dash, or only the swim deck head unit?

The conext screen is not on. Only the Fusion Swim deck head unit. I also use the Fusion app on my phone. I never use my conext for audio. Conext turns up all volume not zones. The Fusion app, and swim deck head unit allow me zone control. Rev10s are loud

Hoyt,
Gotta thank you for sharing your sandbar Spotify... Everyone seems to dig it. A real crowd pleaser

No problem at all. It's a super long playlist. Daughter has created a Sand Bar 2.0 version. Gonna have to see how it goes. Alot of the same, but she took out my hick hop

Well it's time to bring her home. Hooked her up to my beater truck, pulled her out of storage, and brought her home.....


She's in her weekend home waiting to get right for the season....


So first and foremost..... I broke a light with my boat buckles, and the light stopped working about end of season last year. So let's get that fixed....


Replaced with all LED taillights and bottom strip bar.....


I drilled new mounting holes for the lights, and moved them over an inch to clear the boat buckles. I like where the buckles are because I don't need to go full under it to attach or release.....


Doesn't really bother me sticking out, and only yamaha people notice .

Then I fixed something that has always drove me nuts. The Damn hook on the end of the break away cable. First and foremost it pricks the crap out my finger energy single time. Then it always comes off. So problem fixed with this contraption.....


Now she's somewhat cleaned, safety gear, tool box, fenders, blah blah loaded, and ready for her first trip of the year.......

These are just regular led lights that were the same measurements. Nothing specific to shorelander. Much needed upgrade though

I like that spot for the buckles too. They mount perfectly to the factory tab and the hole is perfect to mount the buckets. I haven’t broke a taillight yet, but since they are right on them I am worried it will happen at some point. I may have to find some LED’s that fit and provide a little room for the buckles. Enjoy the season!!!

Just swapped out led tails. Literally unplug and plug in. 5 minute job. Looks great and no cutting Any wires.

Probably worth the higher price for just that reason. No news from either dealer on either deposit/delivery. getting nervous. Have a big family vacation planned in July around the boat. Won't be the same without a boat.
