    Port engine key on shows "zero" on he amp gauge

    When I key on the starboard engine- amps show 12.5 (Grady manual says this is ok.)

In other words, keying on...

    INAVx software for IPAD

    Anyone using this as a backup GPS/Nav system onboard? The reviews seem pretty good. Any thoughts? The IPAD screen would be better than a Garmin handheld, etc.

    Yamaha motor covers

    I searched the board for a thread on these-couldn't find one. Thinking about covering 2 VX 250's. I found this website for "splash covers" https://outboardcovers.com/combo.htm. Any thoughts, better options? This price out at $300 each with a custom logo- pretty pricey. Thanks
