Bucket position

[242Ransom]

I just bought a 2020 242 SE Limited & noticed both my Port & Stbd buckets are wide open on top when I have my throttles in Neutral. Is this normal or should they be in front of the thrusters? I had a 2016 FSH 190 & when I would put it in N the bucket would cover the opening of the thruster.

It's normal, it's controlled electronically.

Run it on the hose and look at it. I check mine while flushing on the hose in FWD, NEU, and REV for proper operation since the electronics don't operate is it isn't running

So when you flush on hose and put in F position bucket should open fully ? Mine does not

 

[Philip]

Off and F position on hose ( bucket not fully open)

@Phillip
In the F position photo, was that the first detent forward (TDE position) or past that to the F throttle area?
In TDE it does not open all the way to provide downward thrust for low RPM steering

It was just in the F position I believe. I’ll double check Tx for info.
