If I find an engine without controls that is fly by wire, what all will I need to buy? If I find an engine that was previously a trip/twin/quad, are there any headaches to changing it to a single with fly by wire? Can a fly by wire engine be reverted to traditional steering components?
I’ve never had a boat with fly by wire, so it’s all new to me.
On a related note, if anyone is looking for a 150 Yamaha HPDI I’ll be selling soon. One needs injectors, the other runs like a sewing machine.
My F300’s will be in soon. Got mechanical controls. Going to FBW was another $25k added for controls and gauges plus rigging.
Got a pair of F250 3.3L’s I’ll be selling soon.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
