The reason you can’t find a connector is that the wires are ridiculously mismatched to be spliced
From an electrical stand point, the 6 awg wire (13.3) has 6 times the carrying capacity as 14 awg. wire (2.08). At this point the 14 awg wire becomes the fuse.
Normally, the 6 awg supply and...
I run the same boat
Wouldn’t consider self actuating
Sizing chart said to use 9 x 18 tab but Bennett suggested 12x12 “classic” tabs to save transom space
Works great in any condition. Too much tab if anything
Several ways to do this….
Use a 2-14 awg splice/reducer coupler. Top with epoxy lined heat shrink
Get a 6-10 awg butt splice with epoxy lined heat shrink. Double up the 14 awg to fit crimp
Use a 14-8 submersible cable splice kit. Trim off the outer strands of the 6 awg to fit in the coupler
Lots of misinformation going around on this subject. The federal regulation is as follows
1. Manufacturers are required to install an engine cut-off switch on applicable boats manufactured after January 1, 2020
2. There is no requirement to retrofit a boat built prior to January 1, 2020

A lot happens in the 3 seconds it takes the algorithm to verify your payment method ;)
Can’t remember the last time I was asked to “make an account” to buy or do anything.
Probably do 85% of my on-line shopping through my Amazon Prime account. Use PayPal for the others

Not a fan of valves on a bait well.
I have a 3/4" scoop intake in front of a seacock and pump (800 gph) on the bottom of the hull. The scoop intake eliminates priming issues and circulates water while at rest. No need to run the pump if running or anchored up.
Pump runs to 3/4” spray bar...
The validity of the card is not the issue. It’s who authorized the purchase.
“ Card present transactions occur in-store, where the merchant can review the identifying documents of the cardholder for legitimacy and take other security steps, like using a chip-enabled card terminal, to further...

Know a guy who was an acoustics Engineer for the Navel Research laboratory who was also a Charter Boat Captain.
Shared some recordings of a group of guys fishing in a boat above him.
In 70' of water, music and voices sounded like he was sitting in the boat with them.

In reality it doesn’t matter one bit.
The weight of the boat is concentrated at its center of gravity.
With cg directly over the axle, the back of the boat weighs nothing. Reason why you move the cg towards the hitch to create tongue weight.
Then your looking at a 300 hp motor
Normal anymore. 3-4k before you get into the “high” mileage scenarios. Have a buddy with a couple of Honda 225 pushing 5K hours.
Motor don’t die from use…. They’re killed by neglect and or abuse
It’s a Yamaha specific issue.

The price is high for a boat that age, at least compared to my local offering
A little under powered.
A buddy has a CC hydra Sport with twin 150’s. Complains should have gotten twin 175
A F225 with 1050 hours is barely broken in if taken care of.
Has the exhaust corrosion issue on the motor...

Be careful if you really need a 10 micron filter.
Seen quite a few filters advertised as compatible with the 13-S1 then sell you a 15 micron filter
