    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    New is always pricey an new always list MSRP, and looking into performance V8 300 and V10 350 isn't much due to added weight Been in discussion with Formula in Decatur but they have no used currently. Sent me links to a 2025 with V8 and 2026 with V10 V8...

    Yamaha F225 ECU Upgrade

    Don't know Yam's but don't see this as a ECU, this is the chartplotter setup issue. Most all have setup routines and it just needs to be setup in the menu

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Late follow up and something new Boat ran well all season, trim gauges in sync. End of season 2024 while changing the gear lube I found some water on the port side. There wasn't much but that was the reason at end of this season (2025) I wanted the dealer change it. Took it in a couple days ago...

    MC TB5 Throttle/neutral issues

    I say Normally with a grain of salt, but normally to remove the neutral button the shifter is moved full forward and then the button can be removed. Removing it in neutral position can break part of the button inside All the button does is disengage the drive cable from moving forward. All this...

    Shift interrupt switch

    Remove the 2 jumpers and place motor with just the shift interrupter switch connected. Turn key ON and see if you have 12V on both sides of the switch. If there is 12V on both sides of the switch, you have the wrong switch

    Shift interrupt switch

    Think of it like this, if you had a Bravo drive the connection to the distributor would not be there. No shift interruptor switch and no wire on the plug at all. This pic shows the 12V connection used to set timing. Note the 2 jumpers, one to bypass switch and one to place ignition module in...

    Shift interrupt switch

    There should always be 12V to the coil. The switch does nothing to supply voltage until to the single wire going to the right side plug until shifting into neutral. You sure you have a NO switch and not a NC one?

    Shift interrupt switch

    You have EST ignition One side of the interrupter connects to ignition powered 12V The other side interrupter goes to distributor It should be a NO switch to only apply 12V when shifting from in gear to out (neutral)

    Shift interrupt switch

    Can be NO or NC and depends on which ignition system you have. As Bondo mention, having the serial number should verify unless a prior owner change the ignition
