2016 242X with a 5 year warranty. I'm yet to have any significant warranty work - I'm wondering what others are experiencing. First, I love my boat - but wanted to know if anyone is having issues or had warranty work. The dealership is suggesting that they can do a hard reset for most of these issues.

The issues I'm having:
*challenges maintaining speed for pulling wakeboard/surf
*difficultly maintaining bluetooth connection when streaming music
*some challenges with cleanout plugs not always seating properly
*I keep the boat inside 9 months a year and covered the other 3 months, so interior still looks great
*on the trailer, some of the nuts/blots vibrated off and I had to replace

I have had good experience with warranty work done by my dealer. There have been several issues, most minor, such as docking lights, door latches, interior lights, etc. The only major issue I have had was a problem with the GPS losing signal intermittently, affecting the Drive Control. The dealer never tried to get out of the repair, never made excuses, and in on case, actually found a problem that I was not aware of and fixed it. My issue has been with the Yamaha Customer Service. They make promises if you bring up an issue, and promise to get back to you on it, then are never heard from again. I am sure that the quality of the warranty response has a great deal to do with the dealer. In my case, I have been quite satisfied.
