New guy looking for some help

[ZDAR210]

Hey everyone,
Glad to be on the forum. I'm in a jam. My 2017 AR210 info screen has gone out. The part number is F3S-U8k12-00-00. If anyone on here has line of sight to a dealer or parts warehouse that has one of these available, I'd really appreciate the lead. Happy to use any site sponsors as well. Yamaha says "national back order, no ETA given". Not ideal with the summer winding down. Again, I appreciate any help or direction you guys might be able to provide.

Thanks,

ZD

That sucks, but you can still use the boat without it. You should still have tachs and safety (bilge/horn) available, right? I'd say send it until Yamaha can figure something out.

Thanks anmut - lots of lessons learned here. As luck would have it, the screen powers the tachs, and a few other functions. Bilge works yes, but no fuel, speed, depth other telemetry. Still runs great, just have to be cautious I suppose. Appreciate the reply.

Keep an eye on greatlakesskipper.com, they often have parts for these boats.

I agree, full send. Do your due diligence and measure fuel economy to give you an understanding of how long you have out. Alarms should be its own circuit. But, don’t let it keep you. The multifunction gauge for mine is 265 days before it ships from Japan.

Well, fill up before you go out, and you should be OK on fuel. No tachs suck, but they're really for reference anyway. Depth sucks though, that would be hard to live without.

A chart plotter will give you depth and speed. Adding the transducer and wiring it up is time consuming but fairly easy. Lots of help on how to install on this forum.
