Took delivery of new 255 Open ID/ Few Questions

Thanks for responses.
The flapping is from the black canvas that is on a portion of the hard t-top. Ill double check snaps and zippers, but I'm pretty sure they were all snapped and zipped.

Boat came with no covers. I cant find online, but I did find for 255 Open G, which looks like the exact same.

I live in Clearwater Beach.

I am happy with aftermarket mats dealer installed. Pic.

The acceleration is awesome. Really haven't tested top speed yet, I did hit 56,,it looked like about 7750 RPM..I think.
I believe it's in break in mode till 10 or 11 hours. Hopefully we get a few warm days soon too.


Hi,
I just purchased a 255 open ID from cycle springs as well, there are no covers available for these boats that I have seen. one place on the internet, but when I clicked on the make/model it says to call in about it... Cycle springs said they have someone that will make a custom cover, but its $3,500.00. I will keep you posted if I find any other info.
 
Wow! Beautiful color on that boat. Impressive. :Welcome: to the forum. Lots of good people here to help keep you safe AND on the water.

I have a Chap but pretty much same BRP engines and controls. When I put mine in the water it too would pull forward; couldn't understand why. But, it's your "true neutral" control. With the engines running and NOT in gear with the screen monitoring the engines, you'll see "N" with an arrow above and below. Press the down arrow (tap or hold) till you feel it stop pulling forward. This action lowers the buckets 1mm per tap into the jets. The more bucket in front of the stream/jet, the more interference with the water flow which will start to pull the boat backwards. This is how you find true neutral in any situation. Works great!

My Bluetooth was not working either. Turns out it was not connected. But first, make sure the volumes on your phone and the stereo is up. If yes, you'll have to run an RCA cable from the receiver over to the medallion. I'll try to provide more info latter.

The flapping should not be happening. Can you tighten things up. Mine never flap at any speed and they're always up.

Surprised the boat didn't come with snap on covers. Did you ask for them? Covers can be expensive and don't last forever. You get what you pay for with boat covers.

Good luck and take more pictures. Where do you live?

You should be able to reposition the bucket location by adjusting the brass nut which the steering cable runs thru. Do a search on my previous post for pics. There are manuals posted in these posts. Do you search to find them. Good luck.
