Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
On my '17 it is removable; but it'll take some effort to get there.
Have to unbolt the support bar from inside the port aft storage, and the forward port storage areas. Then there are two vertical bolts that are VERY hard to reach that hold the seat down to the port gunwale.
These two screws require some long arms, or small persons to get to:
This support isn't hard to reach for a normal size human:
This support can be reached easily as well through the forward storage door:
SO.....you'll need to remove the two screws in the gunwale (blue circle below), and the two supports (and bar) in red below.
