I hope that I can describe what I experienced yesterday to gain some understanding if this has happened to anyone or if it was operator error.
Model: 2024 255 FSH Model H (10 hours)
This isn't my first FSH and I an experienced with No Wake, Cruise assist and Yamaha functions although on a 2018 210 FSH SPT with cables
While running at operating speed using single throttle function, I came into a no wake zone, brough both throttles to the neutral position to engage no wake mode. When I engaged no wake mode (verified on Connext), the boat began to turn to the right in circles and provided me no ability to correct the steering. I quickly engaged both throttles to correct the steering although realizing that I was still in single throttle mode. I disengaged the single throttle mode and attempted to engage No wake mode and again the boat began a hard turn to the right with no steering ability.
I went back to using the throttles and went about my day at the sandbar. I intentionally turned off both batteries while anchored. and when leaving attempted to recreate the issue using no wake mode and again the boat turned hard right with no steering.
Getting ready to take it in for its 10 hour maintenance and will have them investigate although wanted to check with the forum.
Thanks
