Why does the 255 FSH Sport H have different impellers on the port and starboard engines?

The Sport H that's pictured on the Yamaha website definitely has an NSX flush-mounted on its helm. With that said, during the first model year of the Sport E, Yamaha had photos of a prototype Sport E on its website that did not match the production Sport E in many features.

I would not use an NSX as my primary MFD, as I already stated in the post that @FSH 210 Sport kindly linked. The NSX is the bastard-child of the Simrad/Lowrance/Navico family right now. It doesn't fully support all of the shared features that the rest of the Navico ecosystem handles seamlessly out-of-the-box.

If I bought a Sport H today, I'd mount an NSS 12 evo3S above the wheel to use as my primary MFD (like I've done with my Sport E), and then I'd use the NSX as a sonar-imaging screen (like I do with my Sport E's factory-installed Go12 XSE). The S3100 sonar module (which I mentioned in the other thread) will allow you to run Active Imaging HD transducers for side-scan with a Fish Reveal overlay on the NSS and NSX simultaneously:


The only potential downside is that the NSX doesn't currently support single-point «Go To» autopilot commands — which might prevent you from touching a point on the side-scan scroll and commanding the trolling motor to take you to the location that corresponds to that point. But I haven't played with an NSX, so I don't know the answer to this. 🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile, we've managed to completely de-rail this thread. That's what happens when you ask a geek or two to join the conversation.

BTW, the NSS12 evo3S is on sale nationwide until end of this week:



The NSS12 evo3S Halo 20+ bundle was on sale too. It looks like it's now out-of-stock online, but it's still available in certain West Marine locations:
