Most forums. That's why I bought a blower for my daily.

Eight turns lock to lock just seems ridiculous.

A steering wheel knob spinner would help this situation.

yeah, but in what position on the wheel should it be mounted????

I will say . . . I'm fairly impressed with the simplicity of the Honda & Dometic tech stuff. There is only a fraction of the electronics and wiring behind the helm and elsewhere as compared to the all the Mercruiser stuff I had. . . . and the functionality is the same.

Starting the process to trade my Chap for a 2024 Formula 270 BR

Taking the Chap into dealer to fix the issues they messed up with paint and try to fix the single beep Com's issue. After that's done I'll haul it up and bring the Formula back

Surveyed one of these today! - it was a nice, well-made boat. Good quality construction, fittings, and rigging mostly - you will love it! This one had the 430 HP LT(?) 6.2 Ilmor GDI and it had a decent rumble at idle and a higher pitched note at WOT. About 50 MPH max, but it's a good-sized boat: very big and spacious (with lots of big boat systems) for "small boat" runabout day-boat type.

You will love the torque band (and note) of the 8.2 over the newer gen Gm motors. Good luck with it!

Does it have cats? They scare me, though probably not as big a deal in the fresh.

Anything this new on inboards will have cats sadly...they do cause hot-spots and some restrictions - more a maintenance issue.
