I'm in a pinch and need to borrow someone's YDS Cable and software. I'm in southern Maryland. Phone number is 6616180335. The closet dealer is 2 hrs away that services Yamaha jet boats and they're booked for two weeks. TIA. Any help is appreciated. I'll have it overnighted back to you as I only need to read hours on boat. 2007 SX210

do you have a machine that will run XP ? the older version 1.32 only works with XP. I'm currently having issues with mine and questioning if my cable is messed up or I'd volunteer it.

You can order on ebay for $80.

You also could take it to a jet ski shop, they might be confused at first but it's the same connectors,

Sorry; I am only seeing this late. Still need one? My boat is ~30 min away, so I am not planning to see her until at least this weekend (and the cable is up with the boat). If I even get to go up then. Anyway, let me know.

@Scottintexas did you ever get it to work?

no, I tried to run it in compatibility mode but it still didn't work or even recognize the driver, I decided against trying to reload XP and just figured I'd by a new set off ebay, although I just drove to Spring on Sunday to drop my son off so I should have stopped by, I thought about honking when I went through.

@qdtaylor77 - are you still looking for the cable/software? I'm in Columbia, MD. Note, however, that I too have had no luck getting it to run yet. Was planning on digging out an old XP laptop and trying again. ;-)

@msavold I'm not certain but I believe you need the V 1.33 and that runs on Win. 7 and up for the 1.8L enginers , I think only v 1.32 needs XP and it is for the mr 1's

Thanks Scott - I just checked and mine is the 1.33.
I only got one afternoon to try to connect it before the boat went into storage so I'm not 100% sure what the issue was when it failed to read the engines. I know that our local dealer was saying that one of their older laptops worked but their "new one" didn't (and mine didn't the first time I tried either) so I was assuming it was an OS thing... Getting boat out of storage next week end so I'm planning to try again.
