Just got my kit, loaded it on my LT and just quickly to my 15 FZS and worked flawlessly. This week i will use it on my 16 ar240 and check it out on there as well

Just got finished trying it out on my 16 ar240. Works great. No need to unplug a thing. Just connect to one of the diag connectors behind the helm. Give the key a bump and your in

NICE!!! YDS was a big plus for me when comparing Yamaha to my old old seadoo when I bought, I hope others are encouraged by its availability on newer boats! I don't even own a newer boat, but I still think this is a BIG DEAL! Happy for you!

I hope they can get it working for my 19 AR195. This would be a valuable tool to have.

I havent tried it on my 18 waverunner yet but i plan to as soon as i look in my manual to see where the diag port is.
The website stated up to 17 so i am not sure yet. But will try in the next few days

A good purchase at $300.00. Consider this, it cost me $130.00 on Saturday to have mine read and cleared.

Well it works on my wifes 2018 EX Deluxe with no issues at all. I cant see why it wouldn't work on a 19.
So far on my FZS and the EX the hours matched perfect from the gauge to the YDS. But on my 16 AR240 the YDS said 4.2 hours per engine more than what the Connext said

Thanks for testing that! I figured it would work as I didn’t think yamaha would change the data language or whatever you call it. I’ll likely try and email them first just to double check. If it does work they should definitely update their ads as they likely are losing out on some sales.
