    Should be fine! Just make sure you pay attention to the connections and reconnect them in the same manner and TIGHTEN them down, lots of folks (ME) have had alarms because of loose connections after installing a new battery!

    FL Insurance Cost

    That seems excessive but my current policy with Progressive is twice the price for the same coverage on a 2013 19 ft Yamaha just 6 months ago and we live in SW FLA...Insurance is such a crap shoot, none of it makes sense, I have a perfect FICO score (what my agent told me the quote is 90...

    Yamaha SX195 2019

    :Welcome: you've come to the right place for pertinent info....as far as 6 to 8 people on a 190/195 I would say that it would be tight and depending on how big the folks you are going to have onboard you may be over USCG weight limits....for the 195 it's 1160 lbs if memory serves me right and...

    Need Wiring Schematic 2017 SX190

    I found this for a 2018 SX190, the 2017 shows not available online, I don't think there should be any major changes between 17 and 18. Hope it helps!

    Huntin' for some shade and came up with this....

    The back does not sway due to the straps tightly holding in place on each side, the poles are adjustable in length in 2 different areas which helps tremendously with how tight you can get the canvas and assists also with any movement. The cup holders have shown no signs of damage so far (we...

    Huntin' for some shade and came up with this....

    We are really pleased with the shade, had her out last week and what a difference in the 90 degree heat with the sun beating down on us! We bought the 6'8" width and it fits perfect. Used the original cupholders and in 8 to 10 knot winds no worries.

    Table for 19ft

    I would suspect the demand was low and the price was too high. I have seen other's that find the bracket and then customize a table and grill to swap out.
