New boat owner here...I know this may sound crazy. Just got boat and really didn't have a lot of time to mess with it. But does anyone have any pictures of how the little cargo net for ice holder or trash can is installed. Sure didn't look like it would fit. Im sure its just the way I tried to put it on. It was dark out and I really couldn't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I haven't found a useful setup for mine. I just stuck a plastic rectangular garbage can in that space. I used two mini bungee cords to hold it in place. My net just sits there doing nothing. I'd love to know what Yamaha had in mind when they designed this.

Yeah I just assumed it was me since it was dark out and I was tired. Not really sure what it would be good for either. But I did say to my self.. Is this the right net they gave me.. So maybe ill try the bungee cords and see how that works.

I took a couple of pics today. I actually found a use for the cargo net: to hold my spare garbage bags and my packs of wet wipes. I might stick my sun screen in there too.

Can you still spin the seat around with the trash can there?
 
Hi, I'm sorry to say but you are using that net all wrong. Thats for the Captain's beer supply. :)
