Hey guys, I'm new to this site, and finally got myself a Yamaha jet boat. I managed to find a 2018 ar195 with 16 hours on it, this week was the first time it's seen water in 2 years and runs amazing. However I plan on doing a lot of pulling with it. My first order of business is going to be adding a bov to help save the life of the clutches. Any suggestions on which one to get and do I really need to change out the intake?

theskis do vary their throttle more abruptly and more often...boats don't do that as much so I would say there is no need.

I pull a double tube with me SX195 all the time. With your boat only having 16hrs on it, I would say leave it be until you notice there is an issue or you feel it needs addition support. IMO, if it had a bunch of hours might be worth the upgrade but I would say keep it stock for now. No reason to modify for no reason unless you feel it’s needed.
