Putting a transom remote on a 2020 SA. Whats the ballpark on cost?
So, I'm looking to purchase a used 2020 SA. It wasn't spec'd with a transom remote, but I may look to put one in at some time. What is the ballpark on cost? This would be a service center install because I don't want to violate the hull warranty. Anyone ever priced this out?

Search Fusion transom remote in the forum.
There is a thread about this and fusion make a bluetooth device that could be used to control audio anywhere you wanna stick it.
Some put over OB compartment, some transom and someone was willy enough to try it with a wriststrap surfing and it worked.

Transom remotes. Had one in the Mojo and maybe used it thrice in the 5 yrs I owned it, mainly to show people the feature on the new boat. Haven't used it yet on the Supra. I see more utility in the wrist remote, if your surfing you can change your tunes and adj volume. Not to say some may find it useful, don't mean to deter you, but I would suggest consider an Apple watch or android watch, depending on your phone and you can control stuff from your wrist while surfing. The bluetooth does reach, I know because that's what my in-law uses. You prolly stream your music from your phone anyways. Just a thought.

We use the transom remote every time we use boat at sandbar.
Drink beer, put back in cup holder, change song.....

have had it on every boat but our current one. like isaguel, doubt we ever used it on any of the 3 boats but maybe a dozen times total and those were all at the sandbar.
if you don't frequent a sandbar often, skip it.
we're not adding one in on our current boat and it's not going to make/break a resale deal down the road.
oh ya, ballpark cost... added 2 of them to my '12 and they were $175 each and install was free as I did it. my supra it was $150 and again, did it myself so no labor.
the first hole is a sweat dripping nervous thing to do. every hole you do after that it gets easier and easierLast edited by sandm; 09-14-2020 at 07:18 PM.

Thanks guys. If it becomes a necessity I'll get a Fusion. Where we boat, streaming music isn't possible most of the time. We had XM with a remote in our Sanger and never took it out of the glovebox once. We rarely connected our phones to play music. My wife won't let me wear my Apple watch when surfing. She thinks I'll lose it. If we add XM I think we'll be ok until we move to Texas. Then we may have to reevaluate.

I find it so interesting how different peoples views on options can be.
I would not own a boat without the transom remote and use it constantly.
Mostly when chilling behind the boat and need to skip songs or change volume, but also when I'm coaching surfers I can just lean down and turn the music down to talk to them or pause it etc.2020 Supra SA

I imagine you will have to use the factory transom remote.

That’s why I had to ask if anyone had added it post delivery. The boat I’m looking to buy doesn’t have it, but I don’t think I’d use it that much. We don’t sit around and float a lot, and if we are we keep our music fairly low as not to disturb the rest of the lake inhabitants.
When we move to Texas, that may be a different story though. Easier to sit in a lukewarm bathtub than in an ice bath.2020 SA 450 Wife calls it White Cloud. Said it makes her feel "Classy"
