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.
My support poles have eaten through the cap on the bottom and have fallen off. What are you guys using on the bottom of the support poles to keep it from cutting the seadek
Use something larger like a plate. This way the weight is distributed and the seadek does not have an indentation in it when you take the poles out. We use large plastic discs cut from starboard.
I just went out to the shop and I think we can make a couple of discs from black starboard. I think they'd sell for $15-$20 per pair. They will have a little recess in the center for the leg to sit in and will do a great job of preventing the seadek pads from being indented. Thoughts?

I use a 3" plastic door stop disc. The kind that sticks to the wall. I also replaced the rubber feet on the poles. You can pick those up at any decent hardware store.
