    School me on MR1 differences

    You really need to get in to see the condition of the rest of the components in addition to the long block itself. Even with the SBT recast motors (no core required), you'll need to use your existing stator, intake, exhaust, sensors and all electronics...

    2012 SX210 won't go over 38

    My 2008 AR210 will do 43 on GPS with a half tank of fuel and 2 people. RPM is right about 8300 (looking at the gauge only, have not put the TinyTach on it.) Air temp was 90+ and water temp 80+. I don't know for certain on the temps--that was a couple of months ago, but par for that time of the...

    Bearings, when to replace?

    In addition to adding grease regularly, check them at least once per season--removing the bearing buddy and checking for signs of water intrusion and rust. Depending on how much you trailer, I would rebuild them every 2-3 years, which basically means complete removal of bearings and seals...

    Rescue buoy or rescue bag recommendations

    Same here... I keep it between the cockpit seat the throttle levers. @Thor you being observant and acting quickly probably saved the guys life. I commend you and your daughter. -Greg

    YAIT (Yet Another Impeller Thread)

    In a pinch, I would just delete one of the reverse gates for the Saturday trip. You'll survive with just one of them. -Greg

    YAIT (Yet Another Impeller Thread)

    @tdonoughue if you find you need to rebuild pump(s), bring them to me and I'll help. I have all the tools including a shop press. I'm about an hour from you. The filing you did on the impeller will help, but keep in mind you are increasing the clearance and it will likely cause cavitation. OEM...

    2018 Yamaha 212X problems

    I would try a different dealer. Put your location in your profile, and solicit input from folks on this site--to recommended dealers in your area. -Greg

    Thunderstorms Tomorrow

    If it's this one, it's supposed to be water resistant. Pour some water on it and see. I bought a new one for my 2008 earlier this year and it's water resistant. https://www.shopyamaha.com/product/details/deluxe-premium-tower-mooring-cover I would put the cover on along with the supports in the...

    Bilge running when floating

    I've read others have found the bilge drain o-ring was damaged, not screwed in correctly, or all the way. You might check that first. -Greg

    Who has bought a Yamaha EX looking for real opinions

    The Kawasaki normally aspirated skis are good (15F, Ultra LX), but I personally would stay away from the supercharged models. Just reading greenhulk.net over the years and all the challenges people have had with the supercharged models, as well as my personal experience with a 250X I owned. Lots...

    2008 WaveRunner troubles

    Sanity check: This is a Deluxe right? Are you somehow in SLO/Learner mode? What is your max RPM? If not, then yes, swap fuel sending units next. -Greg

    2008 WaveRunner troubles

    A recap of what you've done: 1. New CR9EB plugs 2. Removed the air filter--was oil soaked? (this alone fixes many VX issues) 3. Swapped injectors with a known running ski. (eliminates a clogged injector and a loose injector plug) 4. Checked compression... >164psi in each hole? 5. What else? -Greg

    2009 Yamaha AR210 - Remove wake tower?

    Not much--more a matter of balancing by yourself than actual weight. I am in a lift too, but fortunately have enough headroom for the tower. -Greg

    2008 WaveRunner troubles

    As @Midnight2V said, try just running with the fuel cap loose if that's easier for you. Just be careful on the VX as they tend to swamp in the front. You don't want water splashing in your filler hole. Really, though, it sounds like you have a fuel issue. I would try swapping fuel sending...

    2008 WaveRunner troubles

    He was comparing the 'woosh' sound between his two skis when removing the gas cap. The pressure building up in the tank. Need to pull the check valve out and and make sure you can blow through the top side (just with your mouth). With it removed, then also blow through the line with an air hose...

    2009 Yamaha AR210 - Remove wake tower?

    No, not at all... Let me edit and rephrase: If you are pounding waves hard, then yes, you can hear it rattle. Under normal conditions it's quiet. -Greg

    2008 WaveRunner troubles

    Sorry, I'm not following how the fuel tank check valve could affect anything here. The difference in 'woosh' sounds you are hearing could just be the difference in the amount of fuel in each tank. Besides, when the check valves go bad, it's usually in the other direction. The fuel pressure...
