Is it helpful with load caused cavitation? What I mean is having a full crew and a little ballast causes a bit of cavitation on start up for me. Takes a bit for the boat speed to be enough to reduce the cavitation.
Yes, thats one of the main draws about the L13. Same performance if the boat is empty or fully loaded. I usually have 2 adults (400ish pounds) 1 kid, and two dogs (250 pounds) and I never have any cavitation. Even if its just me, no cavitation.

Had the whole weekend off for once in my life (had to request it off awhile back 🤣🤣🤣). We had a local boat party event that happens once I year I wanted to go to. However, didn't take our boat. Wife was preoccupied so I rode with a buddy on his boat. Great turnout for a hot day 100°.Anyway this is just a small portion of the boats....

Sunday the wife and I hit a local beach we frequent. Amazing spot. Got there early and had the beach to ourselves for about an hour. Silence was amazing....

Did have a small issue I'll be looking into today after work though. So our Conext locked us out of all audio. Half way to beach it just lost all Bluetooth signal. Thought it was my phone, but after playing with it at beach I found we were locked out......
20220717_132113.jpg

So I didn't mess with it to much there (without the kids we really could care less if we have a radio. We normally bring a jbl bluetooth speaker on beach because it's waaayyy less obnoxious 🤣). What I did was obviously turn batteries off for a bit first. Turned them back on.... Same. So I turned them back off, and disconnected conext harness from back of conext. Turn batteries back on, and plug harness back in. Same lock out. So today I'll be trying some more stuff including pulling fusion unit out of swim deck. I'll keep yall informed on if and how I fix it.....

Look forward to hearing your diagnosis- Lee occasionally have this issue intermittently, but turning off battery switch then back on seems to reset. Other times it’s just poor cell signals when streaming music.

It’s probably the radio 20 amp fuse blown next to your battery. The swim deck main radio unit has no power correct? I had the same problem two weeks ago. Two minute repair. You have three fuses mounted next to your battery switch, radio is the lower of the three.

All three fuses not blown. Head unit powered on before I pulled it out just now. Reinstall and nothing

Did you try to use the main menu on the HU to delete your current phone then re-pair it to the unit ?

Oh yeah. Head unit doesn't even have any phones listed anymore. That was before. Now it won't even power on

Yep sucks. I'm dripping wet in sweat so no more today. Tomorrow I'll try messing with it again, but may end up needing new fusion unit

Hey man.... Have no answers for you but I'd thought I'd let you know. The MAPA Powerboating for a Cure poker run is in Northfolk/VA Beach this weekend. I'll be there with a big group. Boats will be docked at the Waterside District.

I did hear about it. We had a local boat party last weekend and a bunch of the go fast guys were taking about it. We stay away from those type "washing machine water" events 🤣🤣🤣. Our boats way to small to run with the big boys. I may try to check it out though via truck. We'll be at the Narrows Sunday celebrating my daughter's bday.

Well it's definitely my Fusion head unit. I've checked every fuse on this boat, and nothing blown. Pulled head unit, cleaned all pins and connections..... Nothing. Yesterday I disassembled the whole unit, and found some salt water corrosion. I'm guessing that's it. Guessing. I even straight wired it directly to battery. Nope. Multimeter tested harness, and I do indeed have power to the unit. So I have a new fusion unit (exact same) coming. Should be here by end of the week. Guess we'll see if that fixes the issue 🤣🤣🤣. Anyway here's some pics from the inside of the unit. Not horrible at all. Definitely gonna seal the new unit better. 5200 that bitch 🤣🤣

Salt or no salt is definitely worth pulling it and resealing it.

Little update on what I finished yesterday after work. Forgot to post this in original post, but did the JBP Seadek walkover pads and engine hatch pad. The engine hatch pad was removed on test drive at dealer, and will probably never go back in the boat. Our old boat you had to walk on rear sun deck, and step on rear seat to get in the boat. Hated that. Cushions always ripped. So love the yamaha walkover. These make it even better :
View attachment 106341

Now to the fun stuff. So my port rear under seat is full of electronics as you all see. It's great to have it all in one spot. Lose storage space, but we have all we need in the other compartments anyway so no big deal there. Now I did something from my old car show days :
View attachment 106342

Spayed the legs with this stuff to prevent water from eating up the MDF. This is a temporary solution, and may rebuild this over the winter and fiberglass it (same as sub box). We shall see how this holds up next couple outtings:
View attachment 106343

Anyway, here's what I've done. I made a two part false floor for that compartment. Long part goes in first, and then smaller upper section goes in. The whole area gets covered still leaving access to perko switch. Easily fits our 2 neoprene wakeboard jackets, and some extra lines for mooring :
View attachment 106344

Here's a shot of the step up system. It literally lays on top of the big section. Super easy removal and installation. No screws :
View attachment 106345

Back side view showing speaker still exposed :
View attachment 106346

Top view is now super clean :
View attachment 106347


Great way to hide the electronics, and still keep some storage space :
View attachment 106348
I know you don’t use the cushion at all on the engine compartment, but with the sea deck on it, could you still attach and snap the cushion?

id like to have the option of either or!
