YDS, version 1.33, diagnostic question

[fairdeal]

From what I have read, the -04 was introduced mid 2012.

if I'm understanding yamahaoutboards.com correctly,
it went into production 01/2012 for the F150XA and LF150XA
but not until 01/2013 for the F150LA and F150JA

I guess Yamaha had a supply of -03 parts they needed to move through rather than throw them away.

Kind of like the huge supply of brake discs for the Ford Taurus back in the early 90's. Guaranteed to warp.....Ford just kept using them anyway...

Yep, I guess that's what happened to me..

Don't know the answer for your question BUT an update on my YDS.


I suspect a Windows 10 update somehow took out the YDS program on the lap top.

I can find the install program and the operating program BUT there is NO SIZE (and doesn't open). I definitly didn't touch or un-install it.

Neighbors coming down next month and we'll re-install and get it going again...
