    Who has a tower mounted mirror?

    Any options other than a windshield mount for the forward swept towers?

    AR195 Bench Seat

    It is bolted down ... but I changed that. I removed the bolts and made up 4 straps with snaps on either end. I then mounted snaps on the bottom of the seat, and the hull. The straps are snapped in place and hold the seat down. I did this so I can easily remove the seat. I also made up a...

    What type of Gas are you running in your boat?

    Not really sure if my vote will be valid info for what you may be looking for. My boat is the supercharged AR195. Because of the boost, I run the recommended higher octane. History .... I've run many, many of Yamaha four-stroke snowmobiles over the past 10 years. For their NA engines, 87...

    Something you don't see often in Houston, TX

    All that snow you guys in the south are getting is just a waste! I've got two snowmobiles in the garage just itching to get out and tear it up :) I love summer time on the boat, but a guy's gotta have winter toys too......

    Video: Yamaha throttle slipping from 2nd detent using No Wake Mode

    I'd bet you are right with the bucket needing adjustment. My 2017 AR195 does not have that issue at all. It will stay in either detent when using the no-wake mode.

    Upholstery repair... pinholes in a cushion seat

    Not true. The vinyl repair kits can fix rather large items as well as the small pin holes. They have the ability for you to mix and color match the vinyl so it literally disappears. I patched a few spots on the arm rest in my dad's 80's Corvette and it worked great.

    Upholstery repair... pinholes in a cushion seat

    You can fix with a vinyl repair kit available from most local auto parts stores. For holes that small, the repair kit will fix them to the point you will never know it happened. They work pretty good.

    190/192/195 vs. 18ft. Bowrider with 4 cylinder engine

    If there is a speed demon in you, get the 195. Even though it's a 19' boat, it is the fastest. The larger two-engine boats do have some good top speed, but they just can keep up with the supercharger! Now, if they did a 21 footer, with twin 1.8L superchargers ... that would be something!!!

    Bouncy Shoreland'r Trailer? Carlisle Stands Behind Their Product

    I took delivery of my AR195 in March of this year (2017). During the 3 hour tow home, I noticed the driver side tire would bounce quite a bit at speeds above 70mph. I thought a simple balance of the tire would solve the problem. My wheels had no weights on them and I rarely see trailers come...

    Towing lesson

    Don't feel that they treat their customers this way for just the jet boat crowd. They pull the same crap for us Yamaha snowmobile owners too ..... :(

    Towing lesson

    I thought of doing that as well. Unfortunately, on my bimini, that would have moved the slot for the tow/light back to far. The front of the slot would then contact the tow point and then wouldn't fit very nice. So my other solution was to cut back the rear support poles. @haknslash provided...

    2017 AR210 Bimini - rope contacting while towing

    Not sure if this applies, or helps ... But I had a similar issue with the bimini on my AR195, which has a similar tower/bimini setup. I didn't necessarily have an issue with the rope rubbing on the bimini too much. But I couldn't for the life of me get the bimini support struts to go to a...

    ***WARNING*** 2015-18 YAMAHA “AR” BOAT OWNERS WITH FORWARD SWEPT WAKEBOARD TOWERS

    Same here. I've only lowered ours a few times. But I cringe when putting it back up. That starboard side is so damn hard to thread in, I'm afraid it will strip just trying to get the knob threads started.

    impeller part number?

    New impeller works great. My dealer really came through for me. The part number listed above (6GN-R1321-02-00) is the correct part number for the 195 series boats. That's the supercharged engines with the 160mm pump currently only found on the 2017 AR195 and SX 195.

    195 premium fuel

    The heat certainly has an affect on it. When you pump warm air into an engine, you are getting less air into it than if it was a cold charge ... thus less fuel goes along with it ... and less hp. That's where the intercooler comes in. But it all comes down to compression ratio. Let's say for...

    195 premium fuel

    On a boosted engine (turbo or supercharger) you have to lower the compression ratio once you hit a certain level of boost. Similar to my 2015 Yamaha Viper snowmobile. It is running a stock compression ratio engine with an aftermarket turbo running about 5 pounds of boost. If I wanted to go...

    Multiple Questions on 2017 AR190

    I would agree with this. It does feel like a dead spot because you can move the wheel 10-to-2 (as the OP mentioned), and the direction of the boat changes little. But the mechanism is all tight and you can see the jet wash change with nozzle direction. So you may be right that it does take...

    Multiple Questions on 2017 AR190

    The tray needs to be resealed. My 2017 AR195 was sealed poorly. I have the same dead spot. Haven't addressed it yet. You can get a wired remote for the MA200. You have to order it direct from Marine Audio. I was quoted $50 from them and it comes with an 18' cord. I haven't ordered one yet...
