I'll try to bring whatever insights I can to the board. I may even be right once in awhile. Wink I also appreciate the insights I've gotten from the board- it's one of the things I love about forums.

I will be living at the Seattle Boat Show for ten days. Ten loooong days.

Now, I beleive that a 10 day boat show violates the Geneva Convention. I mean, at least prisoners of war get meals and certain rights! Very Happy

Not sure about the Saturday gathering. Hoping too, but we'll see what the schedule is like. And if there is someone wanting to write a check for a new C-Dory that night, I will be focused on adding to your brethren!

Matt , thanks for pointing out that some of us make our living by being full service boat dealers . Just because I have a copy of Gray's Anatomy and A Physicians Desk Reference dosent make me a doctor . The thing that most people dont realize is rarely does the computer come into play. There is a conception that it will fix the motor when many times it wont even tell you what is wrong and certainly wont interpret the data if you happen to be lucky enough to get some. Thats where experience comes in . Thats what you pay for when you bring your boat for diagnostics. Our service department services every motor except Mercury . We have all the tools,schools,etc. We rarely use the laptop software or Honda tool . But we have them . It believe it would be a collosal waste of money for a consumer to buy that stuff . We hardly use it , new motors are intrinsically reliable , and I find it interesting that some people don't respect the dealers skills and dedication enough to let them make a living [like they probably do in their chosen profession] using their investment of proprietary tools and knowledge.
Just my 2 bits.
Marc

We will be in the SW corner of the building. Our booth is right next to Fluid's booth.

I'll take the sandwich, but I'd really prefer a Diet Coke (trying to maintain my girlish figure Wink ).

I think the software should be made available to any owner or shop that wants it. We have to remember that I am the owner of the product and have the right to repair it if I wish. I have never blamed a manufacturer for screwing up my watercraft when I was the one to make the decision to take it to a non-dealer repair facility or make the repair myself. I have found that most of these dealers know little more then myself about repairing their engines. I also refuse to lose most of my boating season because some dealer can't get time to look at my engine for weeks, when all that was needed was a simple sensor replacement. I cast my vote by not buying a product that the software is dealer only. Yamaha's YDS can be obtained and it has saved many a boating season for me.

Chiming in on a general note about the helpfulness of Honda vs. Yamaha. When planning the transom width for my boat extension, I wanted to know the metrics on a Honda 9.9 relative to my Honda 90 so they could be mounted to use the same steering cable. After several months of no help from the dealers, Honda central said they couldn't help either; the dealers were responsible to know it all, they said. Eight Honda dealers couldn't or wouldn't help me even though it would have resulted in a sale once the boat was done. Fed up, I found a Yamaha dealer who was interested in my project, got out his books and helped me figure out the dimensions I needed to finish the hull drawings. He asked if I wanted to install it myself; I said yes, and he said "Cool, here's my card. Call me if you need some assistance over the phone." I bought the Yamaha 9.9 on the spot.

In my experience, Honda Marine is so protective and unhelpful that I'll never have anything to do with them again. Yamaha, on the other hand, seems to allow their dealers to be helpful to boat owners; they conveyed an attitude that this should be fun for everybody involved.

So much for my Ford vs. Chevy soapbox rant...
