Good morning. For those of y'all looking for 2021 owner's manual, looks like they are finally online (without having to purchase hard copy through yamahapubs). My model is, I presume whatever model you are looking for is too. I think these have finally posted within the last month or so.

I haven't ordered it yet, but probably will soon. If you are content with the cost and quality of your dealer/service department, then not really.

If you would like to have the ability to maintain some aspects of your boat, troubleshoot, and know all the inner workings, then it is a must have. Good example is the 10 hour service. It is spendy (albeit less since you have a single engine). The maintenance manual gives the step by step checklist with diagrams. I have seen a few good youtube videos on oil changes too that I recommend searching out. It is not nearly as easy as you would think based on car oil changes. Not difficult, but more involved. Need a pump to extract the oil (and shavings from the break in period.) Just throwing out a somewhat educated guess: My 10 hour service will be around $700. 80-90% of which will be labor.

I received the owners manual with my boat, but haven't been able to order the service manual. That's the one I really want, so I can do my own maintenance.

I am hopefully the service manual is available for purchase soon as well. Having the owner's manual digitally is at least a start!

I see they still don't have your specific model available, but if you find a 2020 model that's similar (dunno if the S is close enough), it'll be perfect to deal with the engines. When I bought my boat, they didn't come out with the service manual until late 2019/early 2020, IIRC, and the one I was sent had the cover for the 2 years prior to mine - no update to the cover of the manual was done, and everything matched up with my model year in spite of the cover being a year behind.

I saw that they have a 2020 S, but the important part of the service manual for you is the engines - as long as you get the correct engine, that will be the most important part for you.

Thanks, but I think the difference is in the electronics. My engines are fly-by-wire. But yes, most of it should be the same except the wiring schematics. Thank you..
