    Yamaha 195 Series Width (on trailer)

    I'd say based on my two 190's that the width of your trailer would be approx. 100-102 " the boat itself sits inside the outside wheel wells. Most states have a 8'6" max width for roadways.

    Serious skipping

    Thats great it takes some time for the RED to work and the addition of the NEW fuel also helped great news! If the PO did not use 91 octane thats a problem also if the gas that was in the tank was a ethanol gas it will separate into two different structures so the addition of the RED and the...

    WELCOME aboard to the best dearn forums on the ole interwebs. You are going down the right path with the new battery, NOCO, and the charger. With that said I would take a CLOSE look at the battery cables and inspect for rust, corrosion, scaling, etc. Sand down to a shine any rough look areas...

    Boat buying advice... anyone close to Shelbyville?

    The water outlet you have pictured is broken...and should be replaced, not a big deal you can repace them with billet aluminum ones from ADA racing I agree the impeller and housing looks in good shape. I would take a look a NADA for the price $27k seems at the top end for the year and model...

    Stress Crack Repair Advice

    To quote @tdonoughue WOW, I have done stress cracks but DAAMMNN, I don't think I would even attempt this one. One thing I found out was that once the dremel starts you don't really know where the problem is going to lead to. On our '13 SX190 we had a couple of cracks on the top of the engine...

    Reset overheat alarm on Connext?

    For our AL to clear it took 4 good/clean starts for it to clear, albeit we don't have Connext but it still may require a set number of good restarts in order for system to clear the alarm. Good luck

    2019 SX190/AR190 Depth Finder

    Check with the manufacturer, I have read that most transducers have to be in the water to work effectively. I know that there are folks that have "suspended" their transducer in a bed of epoxy so I would think that the epoxy allows the transducer to work properly without being in the water...

    General Maintenance Questions

    Unless the '20's don't require one our earlier models needed a 10 hr service, essentially a oil change and checking for loose items, that one could do on your own. I would suggest you do a search on the forums here to check out comments on the wet slipping and some issues that ensue, but other...

    Loss of power

    if you use the RED HEET like I suggested it will absorb what ever separation in the tank over time. Not the yellow we had the same situation and it worked like a charm
