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.
So I will start by saying I don’t have these, but have seen others on the forum say they have switched them out, and they look very similar to what is being used on the 2021 models. Boat drain plug - ebay
Here is the exact plug I have that came with my 2021 AR195. I have two, and one was poorly installed causing a "pinch" when I tried to loosen it. Instead of hauling the boat an hour and a half back to the marina for warranty work, I just did it myself. Fits and looks perfect.
The drain plug hole on the 2015 and newer boats for the 240-242 series is built into the main casting that the keel attaches to. Cannot change out the "Hole Fitting" but might be able to use that plug. Threads look similar??
