The 2020 242 XE carries model code SAT1800E-V, and Yamaha covers it in LIT-18616-03-56 rather than in a manual of its own.
That single volume was built for the entire 24-foot platform from 2015 to 2020. Turn to any procedure and you may find it shared with the 242 S, 242 LIMITED, 242 LIMITED S, 242 LTD S, or with the AR240 and SX240 in standard, HO, 4STAR and California trim. Yamaha chose that structure because these boats share engines, pumps, steering and harness design.
- Factory disassembly and reassembly order for engine and propulsion
- Published torque, clearance and wear-limit tables
- Full electrical schematics
- Symptom-driven diagnosis and scheduled maintenance
A word of caution when ordering: with this many related hulls in one book, SAT1800E-V is what separates your boat from the one on the next page.
