    Want to wakeboard, no tower....

    You got it buddy! I dont think brand name is the most important thing. Its the material used. Spectra/Dyneema are essentially the same but are top of the line materials for wakeboard rope. I bought this one yesterday, Its like 75$ if you use the promo code, its a coated Spectra rope. CTRL...

    Want to wakeboard, no tower....

    You would want to use the tow point inbetween the seats above the swim platform. If you route the rope correctly it wont come loose. The rope is something you'll want to spend some money on, most of the good ones are between like 70-85 ft. and have a few 5ft sections at one end you can remove...

    2019 AR195 wear ring replacement?

    Do you guys run your boats in salt water at all? I have a suspicion that mine came out easy because there was no salt water corrosion between the ring and the housing. If tapping it out with a rubber mallet didn't work and you had a basic selection of tools I think you could probably drill...

    Anyone using Starlink at home?

    I live in a rural area so all we have now is satellite, it has a 2.5 mbps download and 1 mbps upload speed. I would finally be able to play online video games without an a lag and watch things on my tv in better than 480p lol. Although I'm not sure those things are the initial cost and 60$...

    anyone use the port cap area as an ice chest?

    I've used the ski locker to store drinks and ice for 8 people, worked out great for the day and was a decent amount of ballast for wakeboarding

    2019+ Yamaha 195 impeller replacement

    Got the boat out for the first test and the holeshot cavitation is definitely fixed. It feels very torquey now. Loaded up with 8 people, bimini coolers ect it would still get up to 35mph according to the dash speedo. which Im happy with considering I changed the impeller pitch

    2018 ar195 sluggish with weigh aboard

    @Steve73 The Solas impeller I used was YV-CD 13/18 its pitched for better holeshot and less top speed, otherwise the OE Yamaha part number is 6GN-R1321-10-00 The wear ring part number is 6GN-R1337-00-00 You will also need the solas wr014h impeller shaft holder tool. Hoyt made a thread in...

    2018 ar195 sluggish with weigh aboard

    It sounds like yours is doing the same thing mine was doing. I took my 195 to Lake Powell last year and with 8 people/coolers and a bunch of audio/batteries I could not get the boat on plane, it would accelerate to the point where it was just about to get on plane and then the pump would just...

    How to re-glue mats

    I've been fighting this since I got my boat, I dont think the mats work well on the lower platform because all the water seeps in and wrecks the bond. Just redid one of mine over the weekend. I took it completely off and used goo gone to remove the adhesive stuck to the swim platform. After that...

    What is the purpose of this screw in the jet housing?

    Thanks for confirming gents. I suppose it would not have been cost effective to install a real bolt but what a dumb way to plug the hole.

    What is the purpose of this screw in the jet housing?

    Picture courtesy of Hoyt.. There is a hole in the pump housing that yamaha seems to have plugged by putting a hot M6 bolt into some sort of plastic sleeve to seal it up? The only thing I can think of is that it could be used on the PWC's to shoot a rooster tail into the air? I noticed the...

    2019+ Yamaha 195 impeller replacement

    I tackled this job today and I could be the anomaly but changing the wear ring/impeller was incredibly easy. Could be due to the fact that I only boat in freshwater though. Figured I would add some thoughts/tips. I did things slightly different than Hoyt, I took the lower ride plate/keel and...

    195S tower board rack

    I had one of those that you posted and it was fine but I built my barn door too narrow to fit the boat in with the racks attached. It was ok, worked fine but the Monsters are easily removed and adjustable. With both options they give you an assortment of inserts to dial in whatever size tube...

    IS Wet Sounds Equipment THAT Much Better?

    For normal stuff I would probably go a different route as It seems like their quality over other brands doesnt justify the price. That being said one thing they do well and probably better than anyone else is the Rev10 tower speakers. Those things get rediculously loud (Realistically too loud) I...

    2019+ Yamaha 195 impeller replacement

    @Ozark, I will definitely try that, I got the Solas impeller, just waiting on the wear ring from Yamaha. I will post my results when I get everything changed out

    What gas price makes you change your boating habits?

    Its kind of a tough situation. Im too much money in the boat to not use it. For me wakeboarding is the majority of my fuel consumption so I'll probably be doing less of that this year but if there is enough interest from friends I have no problem getting it out. I definitely am done asking...

    Damaged impellers / loss of power

    My 2019 AR 195 did the same thing last year. Also when wakeboarding with just a few people the holeshot had some terrible cavitation. I'm looking to replace the impeller, wear sleeve and probably add the lucky 13 cone while Im in there

    2019+ Yamaha 195 impeller replacement

    @Theriford, thanks a million. Is you SX a 195 by chance? If so could you provide the part number for the ring you bought? From the research ive done it appears the non SVHO boats use a 155mm pump and SVHO is a 160mm. And even then I'm not sure if all year 160MM rings are the same lol

    2019 AR195 wear ring replacement?

    Has anyone personally replaced the wear rings in one of the newer style pumps? I have terrible cavitation from the hole shot and with the boat loaded I can barely get the boat up to speed to plane. If I gun the throttle while trying to plane the pump will just cavitate and slow back down. I...
