    Clean Out Plug Blow Out (My Turn)

    Hello Jet Boaters, I guess its my turn to blow out the clean out plugs (2011 Yamaha SX210). I was riding at full throttle on the Mississippi River when my starboard engine cut out. It started right back up no problem. I thought I just bumped the kill switch or something. Try to move forward...

    O2 Sensor Cleaning - Improved engine RPM/Performance

    Surprised there is still that much more RPM to gain. I do not suspect I will gain much more "performance" from the boat if I do gain more RPM. I am not really looking to push it to the limits. Plus it is usually too choppy on Lake Erie for me to maintain higher speeds for any period of time...

    Greasing Intermediate Bearings - New Recommended Interval by Yamaha

    How foolish if you believe everything in the manual you would believe that every time a push button clean out plug blew it was the fault of the person who installed it and not a design flaw with the locking mechanism so is the intermediate bearing with no vent and using a grease gun will blow...

    I finally forget my Clean-out Plugs!

    Well, after almost 4 years of never forgetting my drain plug or my clean-out plugs, I finally forgot the clean-out plugs on Sunday! This is the first summer with the boat on a boat lift at our lake house, and I'm still trying to figure out a new routine. I had a good system down when we had to...

    What would you do?

    So making a long story short, I had an SBT engine installed port side 2 seasons ago. 4th of July weekend my starboard side let go so off to the dealerit went. Motor came in, was installed, and yesterday I get a call from the mechanic from down at the river to do a load test. He asks why the...

    Should I attempt removal of plugs?

    https://jetboaters.net/search/485205/?q=clean+out+plug+blew+out&o=relevance not using a lock on the plug is a fools errand but it's your boat so do what you feel is time tested and proven. and if you search on the other forums you find the same info this is nothing new. AS for the clean out...

    Anybody know what this is?

    I am in Puerto Rico and I had a plug blow out which caused me to almost sink and it was during that crisis that the hatch came out and sank in the ocean.

    Clean out plug blowout and engine flood. Help!

    I have a 2014 Yamaha ar 210. My clean out plugs blew out and flooded the engine hatch within seconds. Saved the boat from sinking. But now I’m struggling to get it started up again. The boat sounds like it’s got a dead battery and says low voltage. However battery charger says 100%. I don’t...

    How often does it really, really happen?

    Month 1 , my own hat, trying to retrieve it after it blew off. Year 5, a plastic bag wrapped around shaft, miles from boat launch. 2 min unwrap through clean out plug & back to fun. Couldn't imagine not having the clean out- worth thousands at that moment.

    You not pull the plugs and try and turn it over? Did you hydrolock it?

    Anybody know what this is?

    I believe that part is the same on all 1998 to 2005 LS2000, LX210 and AR210 models. You might be able to find someone parting one out. You want to seal that area and to maintain access to the clean out plugs. Where did you acquire your LS2000? I was on a test drive of one that swamped in...

    Rebuilt clean out plugs.. don't fit on starboard side?!

    You mentioned the hose clamp on the clean out tube was broken which makes me wonder if the tube is seated correctly at the bottom. If it’s not seated well, it could be at an angle which would then prevent the plug from being inserted throughly. It would take a lot to break that clamp so I’m also...

    Jet boat won't throttle up

    Does the Scarab have a clean out port? Sounds like when you throttled up making your turn you blew the plug out. All the water pressure is being released through the port and not going out the back. Just a thought it’s happened to me.

    Help! Low Voltage Light followed by Power Loss and Surge on 2014 Yamaha 242 Ltd S
