    Cannot use trim assist 2022 yamaha

    I found the answer. I called the dealer and after talking to two different techs I was told that there are 5 presets for trim assist and apparently all 5 need to be set in order to be able to enable trim assist. The video posted above does show setting all 5 but never says that all 5 are required.

    Cannot use trim assist 2022 yamaha

    Because I don't want to be without the boat for 3 weeks while it sits on their lot waiting for someone to look at it.

    Cannot use trim assist 2022 yamaha

    I watched that and unfortunately I can't do the very first step. As soon as I turn trim assist on I get the message "you cannot use this mode".

    Cannot use trim assist 2022 yamaha

    I have a 2022 300hp with the 6x9 binnacle and 6ym display and when I try to turn trim assist on I get the message "you cannot use this mode". Right now it's on the trailer and not running but I've never been able to get past this message even when running. I performed the zero calibration and...

    Windlass and modifying the forward bulkhead

    I'm thinking something like this, but going thru the bulkhead.... And aft of the bulkhead is steeper than this so "in theory" the rode would have plenty of room. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2473/7724/files/windlass-guide-pipe_BHP.jpg?v=1592842812

    Windlass and modifying the forward bulkhead

    The boat is a 2022 SeaFox Commander 248 and the problem I'm having is with the windlass jamming because the anchor locker isn't deep enough for the 150' of rope and 15' of chain. The locker is at the very forward portion of the hull so it's a shallow triangle and the rode only lays against the...

    Faulty fuel sender or fuel gauge?

    I know this is a couple week old thread but if you do choose to do the work yourself and you remove / replace the sender PLEASE make sure that you orient the sender so that all 5 of the screws can be used. I once bought a boat that previously had a fire and during the rehab found the cause to...

    Lofrans Dorado Windlass - Cannot loosen gypsy - SOLVED

    As long as it works as expected I'll be using it to free fall every weekend so hopefully it won't freeze again. Haha Seems logical. I'll give it a decent push (handle goes away to tighten) when done the initial drop and then power out to get the boat into position. Thanks

    Lofrans Dorado Windlass - Cannot loosen gypsy - SOLVED

    It turns out that a tap with a mallet got the cap loose and the anchor does free fall with a little movement of the tool handle. That should solve my problem of getting the anchor to the bottom quickly. The only question now is how tight does the cap need to be to retrieve the rode... I'll...

    Lofrans Dorado Windlass - Cannot loosen gypsy - SOLVED

    The manual says that I can free fall my anchor using the tool that came with the windlass and loosening the gypsy cap. I have the tool and the cap says "Loosen ->" on it but I cannot get the cap to budge. I want to give it a little tap with a rubber mallet to see if it breaks free but other...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    That would be great if that was the control box I have but it's not. The 6X9 control box has only one 4-pin connector and it's meant for connecting to a second station, which I don't have. Regarding connecting the two networks I was referring to CLP and NMEA, not CL and CLP. The gateway is to...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    I'm sure it's well documented internally but they don't want someone like me connecting the two networks together without spending $350 on their gateway. Now I have to decide if it's worth it to get the data that I already have on the CL5 to show on the larger display. I'm sure if I mess...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    The blue and white wires are supposed to be CAN H and CAN L aka NMEA2k from what I have been finding. I'm not trying to connect CL to CL+ as that won't give me the fuel flow and other engine data on the Garmin (94SV since @dingbat asked). I don't know that there's any CL on the boat, it may be...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    Does it matter that I don't have round gauges? That's a much better solution than the gateway it seems I may need.

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    I've been doing more research and I figured out that it's the CL5 display not the 6YC. In addition, the CL5 manual states that it can connect to a NMEA2k network to share data from devices but it doesn't say anything about providing engine data on the NMEA2k network. And since there is only...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    That sounds like good news. I'm not sure what information the CL(NEMA2k) will provide but I'll find out soon enough. Is it safe to assume that the 4-pin connectors on the Yamaha bus are also NMEA2k? It may be easier to use one of those to connect to the backbone than going to the binnacle but...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    More research has revealed that there should be a CL (4-pin) connector coming off the binnacle that I should be able to use to get engine data (even if the bus is CL+) but not fuel. I assume that the "not fuel" means not the fuel level since that is wired directly into the 6YC so I'm hoping...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    How do I know which I have? I know the bus has 4-pin device plugs that are available and it looks like the only 6-pin are the ones that link the two hubs together.

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    Hello all.... I just bought a new boat with a Yamaha 300hp outboard (my first outboard in a long time) and I'm trying to get it connected to my NMEA 2000 backbone so I can see engine data on the chartplotter. I searched this forum and the Internet and the information is not clear to me. As I...
