    AR195 Lateral Thrusters - AWESOME!

    Just received my lateral thursters a few days ago and am super pleased with them. I couldn't be happier! Product: The final outcome of the produce in my hand is impressive. The casting on the thrusters have no extra slag, and minimal casting lines. Final machining has no burrs and is well...

    190 vs 195 noise levels?

    Were they comparing the same model year of 190 vs 195? I can’t see why one would be quieter than the other. But I think Yamaha improved the sound materials over a few model years.

    Prop boat vs jet boat and price difference on a 19ft

    Two articles done by boating magazine on the comparison of a jet vs a stern or outboard. One of the articles is nice in that they use the same version of the boat for all three powertrains (Glastron) in the comparison. https://www.boatingmag.com/boats/jet-drive-vs-sterndrive...

    Adjustable Trim and Directional Reverse Bucket Install

    Do you think the throttle levers from a dual engine could be used on a single engine? The extra throttle lever being to control the trim, vs using the electronic trim tab actuator setup?

    Adjustable Trim and Directional Reverse Bucket Install

    It's possible that BRP has a patent on their bucket design for use in boats. For Yamaha to use their waverunner bucket on their boats might infringe on that patent.

    Remove Graphics Side logo Idea

    Hmm ... Not too sure I'm a fan of it. But I see where you are going with the Moomba thing. But if you like it - go for it! I just wanted to point out that you have the incorrect Yamaha logo. The music and motor divisions have different logos but can easily be confused. The logo for the...

    Towing

    I used to tow with the poles in because I was too lazy to pull the cover off to take the poles down. I figure the discussions of poles in or out is mostly for that reason, guessing most leaving poles in were like me. But then I remembered that the good mooring cover has the zip-open pockets...

    USB Input & Control

    Super - I thought it might be that easy. I'll have to see if the stock one in the glove box is wired to the head unit the same way. Yes - right now, both the USB input and the head unit are located in the glove box.

    USB Input & Control

    The AR195 comes stock with a USB input to the stereo located in the glovebox. It's more than just a charging port. When you connect a phone to it, you can control the stereo through the Marine Audio app, just as if you would through the bluetooth. However, I've never like the bluetooth...

    Ford Expedition and Backup Assist

    I'm picking up my new Ford this coming Monday. I grew up backing up farm trailers when I was a kid. So one could say that I'm well-versed in the area of backing up trailers and could likely do it in my sleep. But I'm somewhat excited to give the backup assistant a try. Heck, if it makes my...

    Sping has sprung 2018 season opener pics

    Mine is the SR Viper, which is essentially the same 1049cc triple used on the jetboat side. Runs 130-ish hp stock. Mine is boosted (turbo) up to 190hp. But the new Sidewinders have turbos from the factory. They run just over 200hp in stock form, but guys have been running the up towards...

    Sping has sprung 2018 season opener pics

    Taken just a few days ago. I'm not ready to hand up my helmet just yet. And YES - boost is not only good for the boat, but it's good for the sled too!!!

    Thinking of getting a dog

    We've had beagles in the past (not everyone like the howling). But our latest is a Beagle-Springer mix. Fabulous dog! Very loving and wouldn't hurt a fly. Very quite yet still has that distinctive beagle howl when she wants to be heard. Super soft and just the right size for a lap-dog...

    Slolom skiing behind Scarab jet boat

    It certainly isn't the same as being pulled by a really nice, fully inboard, competition ski boat. Those boats are purpose built for one thing only - pulling skiers, and they are awesome at it. With that being said, I slalom ski behind our Yamaha AR195 quite a bit and it does a very good job...

    Wired Remote for Factory Radio?

    Marine Audio does have a wired remote but you won't find it anywhere. I contacted them directly and asked if they do offer one because it does show on their website. You can only get it by buying direct from Marine Audio. It was about $100 if I remember correctly. I haven't purchased one yet...
