    2016 AR190 - Can you use wakeboard tower and bimini at same time?

    I tried this past weekend to shorten the support rods on the bimini ... tried & tried. I just can't get them any shorter than the longest setting. Something will break or tear if I even try to get it at the middle setting. Does anyone have pics or a video showing their bimini at different...

    How to get your 2016+ AR192 or AR195 in a garage less than 7'

    The boat is new to us this spring, so I've only towed it a few times. Only once (short 1/2 hr trip) with the Acadia and it was only around 70 deg F outside. Our Acadia is the Denali AWD version. So it has the full towing package which rates it around 5500lb capacity. It does tow surprisingly...

    Looks great! I love the black hull.

    Installed our custom registration and boat name decals.

    Here's the stock graphic they used as a reference to match.

    Custom graphics and name

    Juat got our custom decals done for our registration numbers and boat name. I had the graphic shop match the font on the stock decals for our 2017 AR195. I essentially told them that it needed to look like a 'factory graphic'.

    How to get your 2016+ AR192 or AR195 in a garage less than 7'

    My garage opening is 82 3/4". Using this method I squeezed it in. I had to still take it off the truck hitch and lower the jack all the way, then push it in by hand. But it cleared by 1/4". If I were to take the Bimini off, it would have cleared by probably more than an inch. Maybe could have...

    Break in

    When I picked up my brand new 2017 AR195, the dealer went through their pre-delivery checklist. On that checklist was the break-in, which the dealer performed before delivery to me. They even showed me the hour-meter which had shown almost 2 hours on it. So I didn't even need to go through...

    New Style Lithium Powered Jump Boxes

    I've got an Anitgravity Microstart XP-1 and it works great. I've used it to jump my snowmobile in really really cold conditions. I've also used it to jump my lawnmower (taking out of storage and battery was D-E-D dead). Jumped many cars with it. It will also serve as a 12V power source for...

    Lowrance transducer help

    Thanks for the reply. I did find that my stock transducer will do the shoot through method. So I did a similar thing as you and it seems to work pretty well.

    The Brand New 2017 Yamaha AR195 and SX195

    I've done Pandora direct to the HU as well and that works fine. But it's things like volume adjustments through the Marine Audio app that are slow to react.

    The Brand New 2017 Yamaha AR195 and SX195

    Does anyone know where to purchase the wired remote? I can't find it anywhere! I've used the free app through the BT connection on my iphone, but it doesn't work that great. It functions well, but the response time from touching a button to something actually happening is very slow.

    Design me a mini-jet pump

    For the amount of hp you are running, you could maybe even fabricate the jet unit out of pvc pipe. Start with something like 6" OD pipe, use a fitting to neck it down to 5", then make a directional nozzle out of another 5" piece. It would be rather crude and cheap, but it just might work. And...

    Looking for good boating lakes in Wisconsin- any ideas?

    I got this off a WI DNR site a while back. I can't remember exactly where I found it, but it's a nice spreadsheet of all the WI lakes. You can filter it on a number of criteria such as: size, depth, public landings, water clarity, etc. It also lists the county with GPS location to help you...

    Your first car

    1985 Camaro Iroc Z. Not mine in the pic, but same car. Pretty badass for a high school kid in the early 90s.

    2017 AR210 TR1 motor reviews

    The Arctic Cat sled is the same as the Yamaha Viper (shared platform between the two companies). My guess is the difference in hp has to do with the operating rpm. In the snowmobile world, these engines run up close to 9000rpm, making peak hp around 8700-8900rpm. The boats don't run that high...

    2017 AR210 TR1 motor reviews

    Not sure if this helps. But Yamaha has been using the same basic block (1049cc engine) in 3 different snowmobile models since 2008 (Vector, Nytro and Viper). And they are reliable as hell!

    AR195 Tower

    Just going through my new 2017 AR195 nag getting familiar with it. Does anyone have any difficulty with the knobs on the tower? The port side one threads in very easy. But the starboard one doesn't seem to line up well. I have to really lift up hard on the tower before the threaded knobs lines...

    2016 AR190 - Can you use wakeboard tower and bimini at same time?

    I didn't try the middle position yet. But I'll give that a go. Otherwise, it doesn't sound like a big deal. Thx.
