Does your E-Series boat hold its set speed when using the speed control function?

Ok I going to give my .02 and see if I can clear some stuff up. The Yamaha speed control system is great and accurate. It will hold the speed ( atleast for me ) +/- .1 which is great. The thing that is annoying is I cannot see that. Gps speed is very critical to me since we boat and surf on the river. So if I know that we have a 2 mph current and my normal setup surf speed in a lake is 10.8 then I either deduct or add for going up stream or down stream. 8.8 for up and 12.8 for down.

The 242X does not have a paddle wheel and I wouldn't want one.

I am like everyone else, when there is a load on the boat is when I start to see the drive control speed vary.

I really don't have an issue with the boat, I just know to bump up the speed to maintain what I actually want, but it would be great if it did work the way it was supposed to.

Not to keep beating this horse when I don't own a newer boat nor plan to....but, you can set it in 1/10th increments but the actual speed displayed is in whole units? So you set it at 10.7 MPH and the Speed either reads 10 or 11???

Yep

Mine holds speed but is off by 1-2mph while off plane. If I set it at any speed high enough to be on plane it holds correctly.
