Flushing engine on Yamaha 242 Limited S E series using in Saltwater
Jet and outboard engines will run water from the body of water you're boating in through the cooling system. From my understanding, even the "saltwater series" Mercury outboards are just a marketing scheme. Just keep your engines flushed and you wont have any issues. Devil Dog is correct, all of...- Dan_NC

Do you carry a firearm aboard your boat?
@veedubtek I almost listed alcohol as an answer but didn't want to self incriminate -
Help, new SX190 owner and first time out notice a bad rattle in impeller
not to thread hijack, but @Cobra Jet Steering LLC I tried the one engine forward and one engine reverse with your mega fangs..... All I can say is WOW! My 242 spun around on a dime! Incredibly controlled- Dan_NC

Help, new SX190 owner and first time out notice a bad rattle in impeller
I previously had an AR192, she sounded the same way when I would flush the engine. I doubt you have any serious issues. Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new boat!- Dan_NC

Do you carry a firearm aboard your boat?
I have seen the "show off your guns" thread and decided we needed a vote on how many forum members carry aboard their boat. I can see a firearm brand poll following shortly. [flag]:winkingthumbsup" -

Does anyone use the newer explorers to tow a 24ft jetboat
I would suppose you are right. Then again, I could just go back to my Volkswagon Sport Wagon with the 2.0L TDI. It got me 60 MPG regularly but never less that 40 MPGs even in heavy traffic. That was a $20K car brand new and will run forever. BUT I wouldn't have gotten what I wanted and I...- Dan_NC

Does anyone use the newer explorers to tow a 24ft jetboat
@PeterB One more picture from when I was moving the boat today. Kinda gives you an idea of what you will be able to see. GDE offers an off-road tune; which I purchased. I assumed I could just shut off the DEF and re-gen all together but to use the tune I will have to swap to an actual straight...- Dan_NC

Does anyone use the newer explorers to tow a 24ft jetboat
@PeterB I need to make some additional upgrades to my boat before I jump back to my tow vehicle, but the camera is on my list. I agree with you and do a ton (relatively) of towing in the summer but it is really nice having a vehicle with good fuel economy for the bulk of my driving. Especially...- Dan_NC

I am glad to hear they fixed their design, I had originally bought one while at Walmart but returned it when I read a lot of reviews saying the zippers broke.- Dan_NC

No drama cooler thread!
@Shannon, your AR192 will fit an actual cooler under the seat. I would recommend a hard cooler over the soft one any day. The soft 40 is the biggest that works with my available space :(. Great cooler for 12 hour days though.- Dan_NC

Does anyone use the newer explorers to tow a 24ft jetboat
@PeterB nice truck! I went a slightly different route than using air bags, although I heavily considered them. I wanted a slightly higher look and decided to add-a-leaf and swap out my shocks/struts for Bilstein 5100 series resulting in a 2" front 1.5" rear lift. I can say that I previously had...- Dan_NC

No drama cooler thread!
RTIC is on sale at the moment FYI. I have the RTIC 40 Soft Cooler for under seat storage. After measuring and checking almost every manufacturer, I came to the conclusion it was the absolute biggest I could fit and fully access. I also snagged a RTIC 110 for Bimini but it is so heavy I will...- Dan_NC

@06c6z06 thank you for the advice on GDE tuning. I tuned my truck with GDE and it handles the trailer load A LOT better to say the least. Highly recommend to anyone with a smaller diesel.- Dan_NC

FM RADIO SIGNAL
My FM reception on a new boat is terrible as well. I haven't even started digging to figure out why. Just been looking at the Sirius XM tuners.- Dan_NC

2015 Yamaha 242/240 SiriusXM antenna?
I know this is an old thread but I am curious if you guys think the larger bimini top (frame mostly) on the E-Series would interrupt the Sirius XM signal should I mount it like Richard? Thank you for putting this information together for other folks like myself.- Dan_NC

@Nealg and @sethman919 welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new boat! We spend most weekends on Jordan Lake (launch from Ebenezer Church boat ramp) , so if you see a black 242 stop by and say hey. Speaking of which, it is supposed to be 80 degrees Friday and Saturday.- Dan_NC

@Shannon thank you for the invite. We would have completely missed out otherwise. @bronze_10 thank you for adding me to the conversation. It will be nice to finally put faces with screen names. My lady (Lauren) and I are the only two for this trip at the moment. I will probably invite another...- Dan_NC
