    2017-2019 AR 210 oil change (TR-1 engine)

    I'm around 7 hours. I'll be tackling this after a few more trips out. Most of the resources here are based on either the old MR1 engines or the 1.8s. It'll be nice to have something for the TR1 motors.

    Tubing <from the tower?>

    Is 120' of rope what it takes? I currently have 60' and my kids mention the spray, when I look back at them tubing I think another 10' - 15' is what I need. Is that not enough?

    Truck rental options

    Uhaul but I don't know if it would be the best option for a vacation since they charge by mile.

    Tubing <from the tower?>

    Yeah I'm certainly not an engineer, I just expected it to be heavier.

    Tubing <from the tower?>

    Maybe it's a great design but I'm not really that impressed with the robustness of the tower on my AR210. It looks great, but I was kind of shocked how light it felt when lowering. Maybe it hinges in a way that the base still supports a lot of it's weight, but it's not strut assisted and I can...

    Bow roller issue

    I think your problem is similar to mine. I don't have the damage that you do but your hull shape doesn't fit a standard v shaped bow roller well. It looks like the bells (side pieces) are flaring out because of your hull shape and the boat is being scuffed because the corner of the bell is...

    Need help - Lots of water draining from plug on '17 212X

    I know the factory bilge pumps probably aren't in the lowest part of the bilge, but does anyone know how many gallons needs to get in before it reaches the pump?

    Need help - Lots of water draining from plug on '17 212X

    My first few outings I didn't get hardly anything. After my last outing I got several gallons at least, but the bilge never kicked on. I'm not sure how much room there is before it gets to the bilge pump? My last outing the water was by far the roughest I've had the boat out. I noticed...

    AR210 underpowered with 4-5 adults and towing?

    What are the cooling issues with the TR1s? Are you referring to the FSH 210 threads who are getting their intake grates clogged up with grass?

    Employees . Ugh!!!!

    Do what you have to do regarding the DUI, but a $15 error doesn't really scream fraud unless it's one of many.

    Seriously; How have I never thought of this until now.......Floating Portable Canopy

    I like it. More shade that's easy to store is always a plus.

    10 Hour Service Cost

    Service wise It's going to be oil change and greasing the housing bearings. I don't think it's required that you change the spark plugs, but some do. The rest of the stuff is just going over checking for loose bolts/clamps and making sure everything is working. That stuff you should be doing...

    10 Hour Service Cost

    You are paying for it regardless, but yeah it could be a nice marketing campaign that Yamaha covers the first 10 hour service charge. Yamaha isn't really targeting the value boater segment like they once were though.

    AR210 underpowered with 4-5 adults and towing?

    The 212s are absolutely nicer boats, but I don't put a lot of value in electronics. Not that I don't like them, but those can be upgraded at anytime relatively easily aftermarket. I don't need mapping but if I did I would just do something on my phone, and we prefer the bench seat layout since...

    10 Hour Service Cost

    You can negotiate it in. I imagine with the lack of volume in sales as compared to car dealers that boat dealerships aren't ready to just forgo that income willingly. That being said it's still apples and oranges comparison. Cars (in general) aren't a luxury and there is a giant supply of...

    Video of Yamaha 275 Stern swim up seats

    That's kind of cool. I'd buy that for sure if I needed to replace my ladder, but I don't think I'd ditch a working ladder for it.

    10 Hour Service Cost

    It's typical and you are being royally ripped off. Do it yourself. It's an oil change and greasing a few things.

    Rule Mate 500 gph Automatic Bilge Pump Keeps Running

    Mine does. My manual states that it automatically detects water and will pump with the battery switch off and/or the bilge switch off. So it's always operational. I haven't actually tested though. I probably should before trusting the manual though.
