    Electronics gurus: Theory on false Overheat - AR210

    I have an AR-210 with a three-way battery switch. Bilge is wired to battery #2 directly, the engines, display screen, lights, etc are all wired to common off the three-way switch. We have found if we run the switch on battery #2 (same as bilge) we have no problem driving the boat around. If we...

    All great information. I have been coming here a few years already so Im familiar with area. It just seems I pick the wettest time to come :( #Judge i have no problem with SX190. I boat ocean side usually and ride the waves on cruise control. Wish I had more power but no complaints to how...

    Diagnosis Day

    OK Jet Set, we're back in business. I don't know what I did, but last night we went out and were doing 30 mph at 6000 rpm. Lake was like glass and we were the only boat on the whole lake! I think that's about right for 2.5 people (big dog) at 6000 feet. So, whatever it was (and I think...

    Update Went out on the lake today and fouled 3 more plugs. #1,3 & 4 cylinders and all on the port engine, so at least it’s spreading them out. After all of the down time It was necessary to head into town to buy a new set. Just finished changing them out and going to go out for a test run in...

    New 255 FSH Owner with a Couple of ???s

    I will try this next time out (engage single throttle control and check for TDE)... Didn't even know about the TDE setting until I read your post, thanks much!!! On maiden voyage, if I had both engines in F and doing about 1.8K rpms and let go of the helm, the spins freely to port and pushes...

    Yesterday afternoon fouled a spark plug on the way back to the marina. Lost a few hundred rpm but maintained a good speed until I fouled a second plug in the same engine a few miles out. Left that engine idle while we limped back at a whopping 14 mph on one engine. This morning I went down...

    Anyone getting 2022 Yamaha orders???

    Got the call a few minutes ago... Our 2022 212S has been canceled! We were presented with a few choices in moving forward. Choice #1: Hop on the 2023 list and expect a price increase that's "anticipated" to be in the range of 10% to 12%. Choice #2: Snag the AR250 that has been confirmed to be...

    Multitude of Questions about my 2019 Yamaha AR210

    on #1- definitely higher pitch than outboards or I/O. on #2 it's probably the anchor locker drain that's allowing the water in......believe it or not, the plastic factory installed drain fitting on many boats is too short and allows water into the hull. The fix is to buy a stainless steel...

    Dock Blockers

    When I first started boat a few years ago I read an article about how to not be a dick at the boat ramp. Basically, have your act together and get on and off the ramp and ramp area as quickly as you safely can. And of course wait your turn, be courteous and helpful since you might need help...

    2022 AR195 Audio Upgrade questions/opinions

    What else are you running to the house besides the amp? What’s the AH rating on the house? There is a calculator on that site that will tell you what you need based on use time and your power pull. May help you decide on # of house deep cycles. based on what I read above your pulling 3500...

    2022 AR195 Audio Upgrade questions/opinions

    More then likely your draining both batteries equally in your situation. I could be wrong, but if the boat starts (stock it's on house battery) in your sound system switch setting that tells me your house battery is still being drained. Only true way to tell is multimeter test it under load and...

    Port engine milky oil 2006 AR210 MR1

    I definitely saw something wet (I assumed water) on plug #3. I didn’t mention that I changed all 8 plugs when the oil was changed in April. Is the consensus that there is water intrusion in the combustion chamber of cyl #3? I plan on testing compression and changing oil/plugs when I get back...

    Dragy is what most car guys use. Realistically though once you get the boat and on the water, I doubt you will give 2 shits about performance #s.

    The ultimate leak finding thread <post if you find a new source!>

    Another area to check for leaks is where the impeller shafts come through the hull to the intermediate bearing/coupler, which is protected by a short hose and thru hull fitting. Inside of this hose stays wet and submerged when in the water, so a good seal is critical. Since I've bought my boat...

    How I Replaced Yamaha's AIRMAR Transducer for half the cost (WITH PICTURES)

    ok, an update on my side. I purchased the other model number of the DT800 for my 18 242 LSE. This is the airmar branded transducer, not the garmin branded. PN # 44-200-4-01 on the sticker on the transducer cable. Wish I knew the third digit meaning. It looks like our stock ones from yamaha are...
