Is it possible to upgrade older boats like a 2010 242 LS to electronic fly-by-wire controls?
 
I've not seen a kit to do this....but you'd need:
1) Motors to move the gates
2) New binnacle to connect to controller
3) controller between the two (not sure if Yamaha built this into their Connext screen 100%, but it does link to it to allow you to use just one binnacle to control both engines and gates)

So this wouldn't be cheap with Yamaha parts!
