I know this is an old post, but what fingers are those. Did the new fingers line up with the stock swivel? Looking for the same type of setup.
I think they were aerial fingers and they did line up in my case.
 
Added this mirror. CIPA brand. Game changer!

I dig it! I mounted mine on the center window also. It's out of the direct line of sight for both the passenger and driver and swings clear when walking thru. The only downside is if you like to keep your window open.
We used to always have it open but now haven’t noticed a downside
 
@InmyElement, @Gunghoe9,
I really like the looks of those racks and have been considering something similar. Where did you get the hardware?

Thanks!

You can get them from amazon or company website, so far so good. I tried ordering extra arms but the site says out of stock...

Completed my ten hour service today at 15 hours, installed the stainless horn upgrade from the 195, installed registration letters, and installed my Stoltz roller. The letters came from www.boatslettering.com. Our first day on the water was June 6th and we’ve been on the water every weekend. We have had a great time. I think my next task will be to remove the intake ribbon for a couple extra mph. My top speed with two people has been 37mph on the Connext speedo.

the 10 hour service was so easy. I picked up the West Marine 6qt vacuum oil extractor and an oem oil change kit. I was skeptical about how much grease to put into the pump bearing, but I put just enough to feel very slight resistance. This ended up being 6 pumps of my grease gun using genuine Yamaha grease. Apparently different brand grease guns put out different amounts of grease per pump.

@SamN44 Great profile pic. Where was that taken? And (more importantly) what kind of beer is that?
 
Took down the factory single barrel tower cans on my 242x and installed a set of Kicker dual 6.5 cans loaded with Polk 6.5 MM1 speakers. I'll get some pics up tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks! That pic was at Little French Key In Roatan, Honduras. We took a Royal Caribbean cruise last August. Salva Vida beer!
 
Here's the pic of the new tower can install.

Built new bunks yesterday. Changed the graphics for my ballast system this morning and on the water today. Its 38C (100F) here and the water is 75F. Cam.
@KXCam22 .....Whisky Tango Foxtrot !!!!! 75F water in BC???? Geez, I'm in frickin' Ontario- boating on the St.Lawrence and the water two days ago was 79F....what is going on in Kamloops another ice age????? :cool:
 
So after replacing cables right before my vacation i have noticed I didn't totally fix my throttle drop, and i have a little chatter sometimes when i punch throttle forward and it slowly drops rpms. I am thinking a c-clip fell out or something letting the bucket grab pressure and the rattling lets the throttles go back down. Otherwise i am on vacation so just surfing and swimming and enjoying the heck out of it!20200730_163047.jpg
 
Removed the vagina sticker
 
Pics or it didn't happen! :)
