So far I have had zero problems with the all-electric system, I have and the hydraulic system go out and lost all steering and had to get towed back in. The power steering pump failed and had to steer with brut force, that is a workout. So I guess anything can break, but having had both, the...

I have the electronic steering on my 2022 Yamaha twin 300hps, it has been great no trouble.

Could you put snaps on the 4 corners to hold it down.

Don’t know it’s its true just passing it on.

I was told that the minimum hp on any boat should be no less than 80% of max. I think your boat is rated at 250 so 80% of that is 50. 200 should be the minimum

Agreed you should know how to drive a boat without joystick, but having said that I have it on my 271 canyon and its the best thing going. I don't notice or have banging gears while in use. there are several modes and level setting on the helmaster system. They are all different for different...

Depends on the year and system. I have a 2022 and it has fish point. It is great for bottom fishing, no more anchoring

I have my boat on a lift and to get to the boat I bought an inflatable raft from amazon. It is 4x8 and is great for any thing I need to do on the boat.

Yes I have a full height windshield. I also like the wind in my face, but when running an hour or so to the fishing grounds its nice to get out of the wind.

Was out last weekend on my cc boat with windshield, started to rain. The boat next to me had no windshield we both took off and when we got to the low bridge waiting for it to open he said he wished he had a windshield and wiper. We were dry he had little red spots all over him where the rain...

joystick and auto pilot come together as a package. giving the choice I would rather have the joy stick than the bow thruster. I have the joystick on my boat

I use the fuel consumption data all the time. It tells you how much fuel you used, I have 189 gal tank, if the data says I used 80 gals I have 109 gal left. The data is very accurate. When I go to the gas pump If it says I used 125 gal thats all I can put in .

If the head was milled a little more than the other then the compression would be higher on that head. My question would be why was the heads removed with such low hours.

Yes if you yank on the joystick is does make a lot of noise shifting, all you need is a very light touch. For me I set the stern into the wind on my fishing spot engage the fishpoint and it hold me there with little noise/shifting.

I have the helm master and use it for fishing offshore in 100+ feet all the time. Never hurt my fishing yet. The auto pilot is great, set my waypoint and go. All I do is look out for stuff in the water. It also slows down when you are getting close. I would not be without it after have it.

Be sure to rig it for breakaway so you don’t lose the anchor.

I would get the 300, plus the dealer has one. That is the most important factory these days.

I know what you mean about jumping to the werst case. I was out on the boat and another boater need a toe back to the ramp. He said the engine just stopped and wont restart. as we get back to the dock he realized he did not have it in neutral.

To be honest I never relie on the fuel gauge, I always use the fuel management system to keep track of the fuel. How much I have burned and how much I add. I also fill up when I go the the pumps.
