My dealer estimated 3 to 5 mph difference between the 150 and the Yamaha 200. Given how little of my cruising time is at WOT, and my budget, I opted for the 150 SHO thinking that the torque / hole shot improvement would be more useful for my needs. Most of my riders don’t enjoy going faster...

For what it is worth, I have a 2024 SXSB tritoon with Yamaha VMax 150, and Ultra Legs (Sea Legs) and my top speed is 37mph. I would think you would max out between 37 to 42.

$7,500 per motor is crazy. Unfortunately that sounds like the “we don’t really want to do it and we hope you go away price”.

Just curious if the “flashing” hour glass symbol inside the RPM gauge indicates anything other than a measure of time? It is flashing on and off. Thanks.

Google has many options. Make sure you get the correct width. For example: https://www.boatersmarinesupply.com/m7/82146--t-h-marine-48-zippered-rigging-sleeve-black.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqzuJW2VVTQXQn1kUYSyTSZRYUx7m3PrimQNYPnVCT2DAdvWlSNaL4

If I am looking at it correctly, it is not a waterproof sleeve, but more of a friction sleeve so that cables inside can move easier.

I hope it is not a common issue. I have a 2024 SXSB.

Another option - I installed these on my dock. Always a soft cushion even on windy days. Tons of options available to protect your pontoon and snaps - thick cushions like these to smaller rail bumpers that would provide protection.

Maybe a long shot, maybe lower unit drain plug washer failure? They should be changed each time, but some people reuse.

Strange that the Garmin is also dead. Maybe something was not hooked up with everything or a master fuse, master power switch is not working?

With the birds being so comfortable sitting on the pontoon, might need to think of ways to discourage them with spikes, strings, etc.

IMO, absolutely.

It might take a little time for someone to respond. The Hull Truth site seems to have some very talented mechanical people - might be another option for you. https://www.thehulltruth.com

Others on this site have more expertise, than me but if it will not crank / turnover, I would start with electrical. I had an issue once, and just cleaning the battery terminals with baking soda fixed the problem and they didn’t look that bad. I would also check all the fuse / breakers...

When you say that the engine would “not turn over” was it cranking or nothing at all?
