    Anybody else get griped at in No Wake Mode?

    I don't use no wake often, but when I do I make sure to have two old guys on jet skis yelling at me the entire time.

    Top speed with 5 passengers?

    if that was your normal boating lake, I believe there are different impellers you can get to help with elevation issues? I might be wrong though....

    Underwater lights are illegal?

    So I was going to go with 2 seablaze RGB lights for the transom. I was talking to some folks about the install and they said, you know they are illegal right? I get it after the explanation, only lights that are allowed are anchor and nav lights. I also heard they are tough on that infraction...

    Anybody else get griped at in No Wake Mode?

    careful running with a motor off, someone correct me if I'm wrong but you should pinch the intake hose if you are going to travel over 5 mph?

    Anybody else get griped at in No Wake Mode?

    where is this utopia where the whether doesn't produce much larger waves than your little boat on a regular basis? I think you have to kill these people with kindness, I would have invited one or both on my boat and let's go through the area together, let's learn from each other etc. Maybe...

    Anybody else get griped at in No Wake Mode?

    I don't use the No WAKE often, I drop down to neutral, up one click and slight pumps as needed. I go through no wake at 5-6 mph, no problems.

    The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

    @Neutron Is that cut starboard that you mounted with 4 screws from underneath? Did you just screw into the fiberglass or predrill? I'm looking to do something similar in the next month or so.

    2016 Yamaha 242X limited

    I don't have any experience with sand, but I get a similar experience with weeds. If I run very shallow and slow, weeds clog up things and I get the overheat warning. I usually either try reverse and forward to unclog the system, and if that doesn't work, open the hatch under swim platform and...

    Bias ply to radial

    Painted rim looks patchy, almost like some parts of the rim absorbed more than others. IDK, I might try to paint all of the wheel and throw the goodyear endurance on them or another option... etrailers and others have wheel/tire combos. They have a black steel wheel with a kendal radial that...

    Any gardeners out there, please show me yours!

    I was going to show you mine, but it's so small

    Bias ply to radial

    just went out and gave the rim a hard rub with my finger, no paint. Maybe it's adhering? I'll give it another coat tomorrow to see what that does, it's a little uneven looking now.

    Spray on the docs, or as biffdotorg said, swim deck, which is where everything dirty happens :)

    Bias ply to radial

    coated with primer. Probably ~60% humidity, not sure that's helping. Dried overnight, hit with two coats of matt black. Less humid but the sun is very hot. After about 4 hours of sitting in the sun, the wheels where painted feel sandy. Meaning they have grit to them, almost like you are...

    Sun Tan Lotion Seats and Fabrics

    I've never had a problem with that stuff on my seats, their vinal? so lotions just wipe off. I would spray a protectant on them, takes 10 minutes. Sea Deck, I'm not sure. I have some dirty spots and I am not sure how to clean it.

    Bias ply to radial

    Not sure painting the wheels is working out. I tried steel brush, wash, vinegar, rustoleum primer and then rustoleum paint. I can rub the primer off with my finger after 24 hours of drying. not sure how I can tell which wheels fit, will this fit? (15" wheel as opposed to the 14" that come...

    Well, I just painted one of my wheels with rustoleum primer and if I rub it with my finger it comes right off. I only painted it a few hours ago so I am going to let it dry overnight and see what I see.

    Advice needed. Wet slip new Yamaha 212 without cover--- is bilge sufficient?

    easy to use wet-slipped? If so I might have to switch soon, my cover is 6 years old and starting to show signs of age.

    Tires and Rims

    @HangOutdoors, I just started the process of painting my wheels and I just asked a few questions on another thread. I think the wheels are galvanized steel, so I looked up painting those. I then bought 1 can of primer and matt black, let's see what the spare looks like. I'll probably go to a...
