    Deal gone south

    agree on cross border. but a bank check should clear almost immediately. that said, i personally wouldn't transact with a private seller/buyer for anything more than a few hundred dollars. i don't rust anyone anymore.

    sealed batteries???

    Yamaha service bulletin couple years ago "approved" AGM. so most likely a "not recommended" prior to that. if you know a Yamaha tech you could probably get a copy. not sure where mine is.

    Upgrade to hydraulic or electric steering systems

    you might want to check out the Optimus electrics and see what works with what autopilots. you will just run with steering control for autopilot, not full engine control like the Helm Master. can't hurt to do the research. good luck, ron
