Are there any pictures of the cockpit helm station? Am trying to see if there is room to shoe horn a Yamaha helm master joy stick in it. As I have no idea what the lead time is on Yamaha parts, I want the parts available for the June delivery, assuming they fit

I'm sure not all Yamaha parts are back ordered.
I ordered a Yamaha v4.2L Auxiliary charging cable (allows the Yamaha to charge a second battery bank).

I placed the order on Sept 24, 2021. They initially said "deliver by mid December".
December came... they updated my order and said "delivery by mid March".
March came... they updated my order and said "Early April".
I'm still waiting for the part.

If you set your expectations low, you won't be disappointed.
At this point, I don't even need the part anymore as I changed my design since I couldn't count on getting this within any reasonable amount of time.
 
Have faith, I’m sure your cable is floating somewhere near Long Beach, waiting for a berth to off load a container that contains a cable you can’t use

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if my Yamaha part is on the Ever Forward that ran aground in the Chesapeake Bay last week.

Is the ship still stuck?

My order status just got updated on that Yamaha aux charging cable... They estimate May 6th now. :roll:
 
And that’s why I want to order parts now
