Really interesting to see how the computer system can isolate and identify problems. Those joysticks are wicked expensive if they're out of warranty (ask me how I know), and my 8-year old is working but gets very sticky when twirled. Sad to se how a brand new joystick is faulty and that Mercury apparently shipped a motor missing the rubber exhaust part.

Not sure it is progress when you need a dealer rep and laptop plus proprietary software to fix an outboard ( or inboard) engine. On cars, non dealer techs can plug in to your vehicle and diagnose problems. Add to the issue the fact that it takes weeks to get a service appointment… Just getting old I guess but I think the system is broken.

I agree 😊

[@matty6212]

Part of me really wonders how it left the dealer like this. Did it sea trialed? Or is this something that broke after the fact.

Another good vid. Makes me glad I have a simple single engine set up with no complicated high-end systems. Remember....K.I.S.S.

[@JustinLeeMarine]

Always keep it simple 😊

Nice superhero intro. Wow that's some clean troubleshooting.

[@JustinLeeMarine]

Thank you 😊

I love my electric yamaha 250’s but lord i wish i had an option like sport exhaust on them. I guess i do, 100% sport all the time. Love the quiet option on the mercs, and the auto trim!

[@JustinLeeMarine]

Yamaha is still the best 🤫

[@Phillipsmarine2022]

Gotta love the g3 when it can not select a ebom automatically. Sometimes g3 can be a real pain compared to the old cds system with smart comms

[@JustinLeeMarine]

You do run into that from time to time. It is much more complicated than the CDS from back in the day. Kinda miss that. 😊

As long as all this new technology keeps emerging-your kids will never go hungry.

[@JustinLeeMarine]

True 😊

Just tell him to sell it and get a old fashion single diesel engine boat

[@chiphill4856]

Does the sport exhaust improve performance? It sounds great.

[@JustinLeeMarine]

It doesn't do anything for performance but it does sound good 😊

[@funnyfunny6842]

If anything I woulkd go the opposite of a SportExhaust. I like it quiet.

[@JustinLeeMarine]

I like the sound of the V8 but you are right. On a boat quiet is better. 😊

[@user-ye1no1pf4m]

Keep your Mercuries, simply unreasonable to expect these to last

My Volvopenta Joystick is nothing but problems, and no one can fix them!!!!!!!!!! COME ON VOLVOPENTA!!!

[@henryoppermann134]

Nothing another couple Of hundred thousand can’t fix….sad.

[@JustinLeeMarine]

Lucky for warranty. 😊
