Found an unidetified switchy thing under my dash

[Scuba_ref]

I was looking at the wiring under my dash in anticipation of putting in some interior LEDs and I noticed this little blue switch thing hanging from the dash. I have no idea what it is...hope it is something really cool? Anyone want to wager a guess? It appears to be hanging from the speedometer.

Its the secret turbo switch Yamaha never told us about. Some sort of rheostat. Can you see what its wired to?

Oh ! This one's eazy !

It's the volume control for the noise level factor.
LOL.

It's actually sorta a turbo for real...LOL It's the calibration knob for the speedo. If you turn it all the way up, it looks like you're going FAST....Fire up the GPS on a smartphone and see what speed you're going. You can tweak that knob to dial in your speedo. What I've found is that it won't be accurate at all speeds though. But it's close.

Funny that is was just hanging under your dash, it was in mine too. Is that really the factory location, just hanging?

I have that on my boat too. It's wired to the seat massager. Just don't turn it all the way up! Or else you'll find out how the boat SPINS!

I wondered if it was a fine tune adjuster for the speedo. I was fearful that by using the technical jargon I did you guys wouldn't understand what I was talking about...so good job there!

Don't mess with it.
When you hit 88 mph you will see what it does.

Whatever you do DON'T TURN IT TO THE LEFT!!!!!

I'm hoping they carried it over to the 24' boats. Someone on yjb (aka the other site) claims to hit 60+ mph "all day long" after just a few simple mods. Maybe his speedos are off (I doubt it since the speed is supposed to be GPS based on the 24' boats).

Knobs, don't you just love knobs? Everytime I see them I feel like I need to tweak them!

The 5 guys still posting over there must be passing around some funny cigarettes! I'd love to see the photo of GPS screen on a 60+ MPH run in any 4 Cycle Yamaha model! (and the boat must be in the water....as the only way I know of to get these boats to 60+ is on the trailer behind your truck!) Or perhaps they've just turn up this knob!!! LOL Very simple MOD for sure! LOL

So, you all are telling me that my 47 mph in no wake mode and my top speed of 103 mph are bogus?

 

[Murf'n'surf]

Potentiometer is the proper term for the knobber.

Sounds a little slow

Well then I guess I'll need to adjust my potentiometer - oh the things I have learned on this site are priceless!
