Help me ID those broken plastic parts

[Betik]

Now Bimini dates for 2018 are set, I need to get serious about fixing damages from the 2017 trip.

Can anyone help me ID where those brown plastic parts came from ? I think they are from around the helm. It is possible that they behind the steering somewhere.....
the boats seems to work fine without them but it will be nice to know where they come from and how to replace them....

They kind of look like a piece to an electrical connector or maybe something that retained a connector. Hard to believe there would be much plastic under the helm unless it was related to the electronics somewhere.

Then again you may have just found some spare junk a Yamaha tech left in there cleaning out his pockets when the boat was built in 2012 hoping that one day ...just one day, some lucky owner would stumble across his trolling parts in hopes that it would drive them crazy for years wondering where those pieces came from. Could have been from his Dodge minivan all along

That is definitely a doo-hickey.

Ok, seriously, going to go up to the boat one of these days soon and start on the new stereo HU installation and I will look around for something like that.

 

[Betik]

I know PITA. When it gets warmer, I am getting to pull the dashboard out and steering out to see if I can figure it out.

Try getting Yamaha support on the line, or show the pieces to a service tech. Especially for the last one, it seems like a solid bet that one of those folks would get curious and get other people involved if he didn't know the answer himself...

Those look like engine mounts:



Just messing with you, @Betik.

I hate you @swatski I just woke up and started looking. At this . I did. It even have my glasses on. And I kept looking at the diagram for a good 30 to 45 seconds.
Gave me a head attack at 7am

 

[Betik]

I am gonna get you for this LOL

Looks like the cap to the blinker fluid reservoir.

I don't know which one made me giggle louder this morning, Betik actually looking at that schematic or thinking about the conversation with a Yamaha support rep asking what that part is,

@Ben Okopnik if there's one thing I've learned in 10 years about Yamaha jet boating is that "support" after the sale is very lacking and you better have a good dealer than rely on Yamaha corporate.

 

[Bruce]

@Betik, one thing we learn from Bimini is that if it falls off and the boat keeps going it was not that important.

For example @swatski learned that umbrellas are a perfectly good substitute for a wake tower and I learned that when Poseidon takes your glasses and your plotter mount fails it was his plan that you should follow the Greek @Betik to Bimini.

Caps on that steering rack?

 

[Zonie]

Could you post another picture with something to show scale? Can't tell how big those parts are.

 

[Betik]

Someone is actually trying to help!!!! I think it is function the fact that we have never met. Let keep it that way until my boat is fixed and then I can show you my true colors

do they fit together one looks like it broke on the side.

 

[Betik]

I thought about that too but actually they seem to mirror each other. I am thinking that they are part of throttle system that keeps the wires in place. The groove loooks a lot like it is design to fit a wire inside .....

I got to stop reading this early in the morning. It messing with my head. LOL

 

[buckbuck]

I suggest you re-evaluate who your friends are.

 

[Betik]

@buckbuck I totally agree, but if I do that then I will need to reevaluate my family.
My son like to "kill daddy " and as soon as I lie on the floor "dead" he goes. "Yeaaa, now I can step on daddy"
The nicest thing my daughter ever called me is " poop daddy" and often enough she says that she wants to put me for adaption.

If I really wanted to reevalaute, it will really be just me, my dog and my boat.

oh no, nevermind. My wife owns the boat & the truck.
