    Captain's chair... Replace/swap/upgrade?

    Has anyone changed their captain's chair for any reason? Mine is very uncomfortable, and the bolster is a horrible design, not to mention even more uncomfortable. I guess I could replace it with anything really, but I don't know anywhere that I can just go sit in a bunch of chairs before...

    Mantus anchor. Awesome

    We boat at Texoma which is sandy. I've tried several anchors through the years and none were impressive. The mantus anchors are great in the sand. I called mantus to order a 13lb anchor and the guy said a 8 lb would be fine for my 21 footer. He was right. I think it would holds 24 ft boat no...

    How do you drive your boat? *Wind noise*

    A simple question....how do you sit when you are driving your boat? I sit with the bolster up 99% of the time as I prefer the visibility. However when standing the wind noise is cut down 70% and is much more enjoyable. However I can't reach the throttle well which makes it tough in rough...

    Mirror Mirror on the wall....who's the cheapest bastard of them all?

    ME!! That's who!? Here's how far I'm willing to go to not pay the extra $25 per tank convenience fee at the Marina where my boat is slipped....... Anyone else go out of their way to refuse to pay the ridiculous premium they charge for gasoline?!?

    AR192 Wakesurfing

    I've read through the forums here looking for anyone surfing behind their AR192. It seems some have tried and may have had success. Could anyone doing this successfully let me know what your setup is? I've been surfing behind my friend's Moomba and Mastercraft wakesurfing boats, but would...

    raising captains seat

    After a month of ownership of my AR195, my real one and only complaint is the captain's seat. I am only 5'8 and prefer to be able to sit so that I can easily see over the windshield. This can easily e accomplished y sitting on the flipped up bolster all day but it's not all that comfortable...

    Broken Seat Bolster

    One side of the plastic bolster bracket on my 2011 242LS finally busted the other day. Checked pricing on YamahaSportsPlaza and a new seat is over $1,300. I reached out to the seat manufacturer who @Murf'n'surf mentioned here. I was then referred to their Arkansas plant (800)759-5769 where I...

    Towing with Tesla Model X

    So the wife decided to order a Tesla Model X. Any one have any experience towing with one of these? It say the towing capacity is 5000# which will be on the edge of the weight of my AR240. She usually has the tow vehicle so I’m debating on buying another truck just as a tow vehicle as I put so...

    Come on Scarab!?!?

    Hi all, I feel I need to post this in the hopes of getting some traction before it is too late. I am honestly over this and have no idea how to proceed. No response from Scarab or the dealer. I get that Covid played a role in this initially however this all started when I purchased the boat and...

    Bought a new Ram; need extended warranty opinions

    Just got a 2019 V8 4wd Big Horn $35,400 out the door - I believe a close to rock bottom price which I learned as I had another dealer get really rude to me when I said beat this by $500 and I'll come to you ("We are not in the business of not making money - your dealer is lying to you.") Now...

    No power when turning ignition keys on

    I have been off the grid due to medical issues but now thankfully they seem to be fixed. A friend has a 230 AR which is left sitting for months on end, out in the Caribbean environment. Needless to say with no maintenance and not being run up he has problems. This time he returns and hooks up...

    Looking for feedback on the 2018 Yamaha 212x

    Hi gang. I just signed up to the forum today. I'm in the process of shopping for a wake surf boat. I'm on a semi shallow canal and having a prop under the boat is not ideal. I know props make a better wall of water for surfing but it's not an option, so I stopped by a Yamaha dealership the...

    Rear storage lid drains

    As everyone knows the battery compartment area as well as the live well self-draining lips don't work due to the angle of the bow. Water has a tendency to collect in the gutter area. Have thought about installing a couple 3/8 drains in this area and routing the hoses to the bilge area. Anyone...
