    Sport boat sx230 2006

    Price as in parts? or as in, Done by someone else? https://www.partzilla.com/ is a good place for parts. It's a bit of work, having to move the engine a tad, then the bolts are not super accessible, and you need a press to put it all back together again. Might be as little as $200 or even...

    Stripped fiberglass

    I am a fan of their WaterWeld product, which has a play-doh consistency and dries quick. Also dries to off white color.

    rusted hose clamps

    Needs doing The worse and more rusted they are, the more painful it is to do, except if they just crumble away. Be ready for a fight. Best of luck.

    New to boating. No YDS codes; yet port motor still won’t turn over?

    Not surprising, we have seen it on the board more than a few times...Injector stuck open by bad ECU, Extra fuel seeps into oil, oil is diluted and overfilled. Most, (but not all?) cases appear to have a water ingestion issue into the ECU, specially 2003-2006 design were water ingress from the...

    Key Switch Pack Assembly

    The other option is to hot wire it to a switch while you wait/find a used one. Since the key switch is broken already you can reuse the connector and cut the cables. I think a pushbutton and a dpdt switch will make it work temporarily.

    Is the boat inoperable? Or are you limping by?

    Pissers

    I noticed last weekend my boat had hit the dock hard, and the 2 rear pissers were busted, one was throwing water inside the boat. I saw the aluminum replacements, but chickened out thinking if it hit hard again it would break the boat vs the plastic piece in the future, so plastic replacement...

    SOLD Houston Area - Electric Trailer Dolly -Free

    I'll place it on Facebook market place by Thursday if I don't get any interest here. I wanted to at least give the board first dibs.

    SOLD Houston Area - Electric Trailer Dolly -Free

    Electric Dolly. Great to move trailer into position, or move trainers in and out of tough, inaccessible spots. Free to good home. Needs pickup or large Suv to move. Got for free here at the forum few years ago, worked well, but moving out of this property and no longer needed.

    Steering issue

    Weird. Double check gate and steering action and nozzle attachment to pump at all points. Also confirm full movement in both directions of steering mechanism.

    Steering issue

    I'm assuming you confirmed your impeller still actually spins while the engine is running... It's likely you have some debris/rope left on the shaft, or you tore some sealant from the pump. Both of these cause cavitation. Take a flashlight down there and confirm the pump cavity is free of...

    Am I screwed

    Don't sweat it, and if you are on the stronger side...there's a gasket on that thing for your benefit, tighten as hard as you can by hand (within reason don't twist the engine over either if you are too strong) and make sure you can't get it off in one attempt in say 1 second.... then give it...

    Are trim tabs really worth it if you're mostly on lakes and only occasionally a river?

    Do you find yourself fighting a side wind a bit? Slight unbalance after moving the weight around? How much is the money worth to you? If you wish 3X or more times per season you had it, might be worth it to you? Best of luck.

    Clean out stuck

    My bad! There was something on my screen that looked like markup for a picture... Glad it's all working!!!

    Brand new 252SD and windshield

    Such a bummer, but waiting for Yamaha will take a while. If you are handy I would suggest cleaning it up and devising a strategy that gets you on the water independent of Yamaha. Loosing use of the boat for a few months to get them to repair seems counter productive to me. I would clean up and...

    Starboard motor cutting out while cruising

    Can't see the picture, sorry... So, now that you split it, does the rear hatch still cause a shut down if you open it?
