Closer to a purchase...Anyone in Pensacola with a YDS I can borrow Fri or Sat?

[Beachbummer]

Hello again, closer to a purchase in the Pensacola area. Would really like to hook up a YDS system to the boat. Sadly it seems I can't buy one quick enough to use it then.

Anyone with one in the city willing to lend it? or come with? Would happily leave a deposit.
OR, do you know where I can buy one in time to have it for the weekend?

Wish me luck!

I have one in gulf breeze that you can use.

Awesome!!! I'll be in town Friday night and will test drive on Saturday if all goes as planned. I'll message you to get your info. Thanks!

the YDS can be finicky, make sure you know the version of YDS and you have the correct operating system, even then it can be hard to work on a computer the first time,

What boat/engine are you looking at, an MR1 ? It might be better to get it installed and working test it on Alex's boat (if it's available) just so your not fumbling around with it at the test ride.

Ok, let's see how much time I get and how possible it will be. Thanks for the suggestion.

2008 sx230 is the boat model.

Good luck @Beachbummer! Don't forget to post pics.

Best results will come from an old computer running XP. I also recommend what @Scottintexas said and try to use the YDS prior to looking at the potential boat purchase.

Anybody knows if I will have luck with Win10? It's an OLD laptop all right, the only one I have, but it does have WIndows10 On it.

the software that i have is used on my 2007 ar210 with a netbook that runs windows 10 so i don't think you'll have a problem. I also just sent you a text to set up
