I have a relatively new to me 2016 242X that I am in the process of slowly fixing up and getting to know. Curious about two specific components that I have found and whether they are original OEM (stock) or aftermarket additions by the previous owner.

Specifically the ballast bags, which have Wake Makers branding on the drain plugs of each bag. Are these the originals that Yamaha just outsourced to Wake Makers, or could the previous owner have replaced the originals with these (potentially with a larger size)?

Second, curious about a bass/subwoofer control knob mounted just above the Polk amps in the battery compartment on the port side rear. Is this also original? I had not seen anything similar on other pre-owned 242Xs during my search, but could have easily overlooked it.

Thanks in advance for the help! Just trying to see if the audio or ballast setups have been monkeyed with before.
 
Bump... Any 2016 or 2017 242x owners that could shed some light?
 
Congratulations on the new boat

Bags are most likely stock mine have the wake maker logo as well

The amp knob is a simple plug in it makes it easier to tune the sub due to the mounting location probably after market
 
The amps from the factory came with the knobs But were not installed at the factory it was the 1st buyer's preference on whether to install the knobs or not.
