    242 Both Engines overheat New to me

    ...132 Port Cyl #1: 129 Cyl #2: 95 Cyl #3: 95 Cyl #4: 85 Oil Cooler/Filter: 120 Given the elevated cylinder temps on Starboard #2 and Port #1, I'm guessing there is a blockage. Only thing i can figure is there is some salt (or white algea i read about) build up in the water passages around the...

    Battery Switch

    I would do it simpler than that.....on odd number days, set it to #1, and keep it there. On even number days, set it to #2 and leave it there the whole trip. if you run the battery low, you have a backup battery to switch to if you need it. Want to make sure you are exercising both batteries...

    Low voltage house battery only on float mode

    #1, get out your manual and start reading it. Best source of truth out there. #2, Yamaha doesn't send boats with batteries, it's up to the dealers to put in something decent, or in many cases, something junky. #3, Your motors don't have an alternator, they have stators to recharge the...

    Closed political thread

    ...I haven't downloaded the actual data set, but don't think it would be outlandish to assume the following: Number of VAERS reports noted above: 41,473 (2021) + 9,104 (2022) = 50,577 reported cases in 2021 + 2022. If we subtract out the number or VAERS cases reported for 2018 (before there...

    Buying a hot tub… what are realistic prices?

    ...most components up front inside the removable panel for easy access. Don't go cheap ..I was in the other day and they say Hot Springs is still #1, they also see other brands. I asked what my 2009 tub would go for now and he said about 12k to 13k.. I paid about 10k in 2009. Good Luck and well...

    NEW MODEL INFO 2023 Yamaha 222 FSH Sport E Walkthrough by Neil and Julian

    ...questions from my contact at Yamaha: Do you have a photo of the 22 ‘ FSH Dash? Looking to see what all the hard switches are for. I’m missing #1, and #5 (were behind the steering wheel). #1 is nav lights # 5 is the underwater light. NOTE: This boat is not final spec and those buttons may...

    Electronics gurus: Theory on false Overheat - AR210

    ...an overheat warning on Starboard engine after 10 min or so of driving the boat. (Oil is full, pissers running fine flow of water, the boat is a 2021, no apparent overheat.) My theory is that somehow the console electronics get confused if they sense a voltage difference or something between...

My friend who was with me had enough and yells at geech #1, hey maybe if you’d get off your f’ing cell phone you’d realize EVERYONE is waiting on you, do you think you hang the F up and get the F out of...

    2014 AR210 overheats in-use AND also when flushing

    If that reading was by the Engine thermoswitch, located by Cylinder #1, then it is getting to the upper limit of the sensor. That could be the problem area. Try running at No-wake on hose and see if that area gets over 195.

    Is now (COVID) the WORST time to buy a boat? Seems like demand has skyrocketed

    If you are new to boating, good time to get something "less than ideal" for boat #1, and look to upgrade to Boat #2 in a couple years off the anticipated newer used boat inventory (hopefully summer 2022 if this covid thing finally goes away). Get your sea legs and dumb mistakes out of the way...

    How can we prevent, diagnose, and eliminate overheating problems?

    ...and pulverizes as it dries out, but it is very soft at first. In fact it is visible on all the pictures in Post #1. The fourth picture in Post #1, labelled Some sand-sediment removed from cylinder water jackets.JPG, shows what I chipped out of the cylinder block water jacket after soaking it...

    ...hadn’t even heard of that. It tests the integrity of all the seals in each cylinder. Cylinder 2 failed and they thought it might be leaking into #1, but then #1 should be showing some leakage and did not. They decided it had to be a valve issue. The Service Manager told them to cut open the...

For your original post, you should have been doing Step #1, Step #3, and then if you REALLY felt you HAD to, Step #2 would be your last...

    In the market for a ski, new vs. used, SeaDoo vs. Yamaha, etc. etc. EDIT-Found it!!!

    ...a brand new SeaDoo RXT out of the crate for $8190 (sticker was like $12k!). We had a lot of fun with it for one season and then along came baby #1, it got a little use after that but then it stayed stored in my garage for a couple of years as babies #2 and 3 came along and we bought the boat...

    Considering adding a 2nd battery to my SX-230 HO

    ...you say it was an add-on? I can go over later today to see if it is a two position switch (on/off) or 3 position which I assume would be battery #1, battery #2, and off. I understand the current draw and amperage drop from the large wire run if I separate the batteries. After reading your...

    Impeler Shaft Play / Intermediate Bering Condition Verification

    Sure. For #1, when I look at your picture, it looks like you are missing gelcoat on the port and starboard sides of the intake--right there where the hull meets the metal. Not sure why--I don't think I have seen anything like that before. It may be an optical illusion (photography trick?)...
