  • Customizable LED colors on Yamaha binnacle controls let you read gear state at a glance
  • Color choices that stand out can reduce helm confusion and improve safety on the water
  • The feature blends personal style with practical safety, boosting confidence behind the wheel

One of the best parts of owning a boat is making it feel like your own. Yamaha adds to that experience with a simple yet useful customization feature on their binnacle controls—the ability to change the LED color indicators.

Through the Yamaha interface, you can navigate to the remote control settings and adjust the LED colors for neutral, forward, and reverse positions. Many boaters prefer using green for neutral and red for forward and reverse. At just a quick glance, you know exactly what gear you’re in.

This customization isn’t just about style, it can also add an extra layer of safety. By choosing color settings that stand out to you, you reduce the chance of confusion at the helm and keep your focus on the water.

With options like these, Yamaha makes it easy to blend personal preference with practical safety features, giving every captain a little more confidence behind the wheel.
