    New AR240 clean out plug stuck.

    I use 3M silicon paste instead of the spray on my 2018 with the same plugs you have. The paste seems to stay on a bit longer. But they've always rotated easily in the ports since the boat was new. Does the set tab rotate easily when the plug is out? If so, it sounds like you simply have plugs...

    2018 212X Audio System Brand/Setup--Change from 2017?

    Glad you are making progress. As much as I love the Wet Sounds hardware, I really don't know what Yamaha was thinking in terms of setting.our systems up. I ended up replacing the DSP HTX-6 amp with the tunable/standard version. I can tell you that it does not come close to overheating or...

    2018 212X Audio System Brand/Setup--Change from 2017?

    The Fusion head unit is so much more versatile than the PA4A. Hope this works.for you. Suggest you go to audiocheck.net and try some of their test files. You can check sub output, right and left channels to make sure they are wired correctly from the factory (mine were not), and phased...

    Yamaha 212x Stereo

    I don't have any experience with how the Fusion harness you purchased interacts with the stock wiring, as I've only seen it online here, not in person. With the Polk it was really just a matter of plugging the RCA cables into the existing (and unused) RCA output jacks from the head unit. Maybe...

    Stereo Talk, always upgrading B.O.A.T

    Can't say it's better, but maybe run the 4X6.5's on 5 and 6 in parallel (not sure of the output of those two channels at 2 ohms) and then the 4x8's with each on their own channel on 1-4?

    Stereo Talk, always upgrading B.O.A.T

    So, curious if you're going to run any of the cabin speakers in parallel, and if so, which ones? Unless I missed something, I counted 4 pairs of speakers (4X6.5's and 4X8's, not including the swim deck), for a total of 8 speakers to be driven by one of your new SYN-DX 6 amps. Anyway, great...

    Wet Sounds Rev 8 Upgrade Project

    I don't have close ups of amp connections, but bear in mind I have the Polk PA4A head unit which has RCA outputs for the front and rear channels, and i just ran them straight to the amps' inputs. You likely have the Fusion head unit and will need to buy an adapter harness to get RCA outputs...

    2019 212x Audio

    I added a second HTX-6 and tuned it to match the first (DSP) HTX-6. It sounded okay. Jeff

    New AR240 clean out plug stuck.

    Glad you fixed it. The tab needs to be aligned with the "Set" location on the plug, as you found out, before trying to install it. I'm sure the boat drying out a bit and jostling around on the ride home helped when you successfully removed it.

    New AR240 clean out plug stuck.

    If you look at it from the bottom, does it look like the contour of the plug is properly aligned with the hull? Trying to understand if the plug went in properly and the locking mechanism is the issue, or whether the plug itself isn't aligned properly. Not that I have any great suggestions as...

    Why props are dangerous

    So sorry to hear about your Uncle. I hope he's back in a boat soon and enjoying life once again. Best wishes for a successful, speedy recovery.

    Stoltz Bow Roller Definitive Answer

    Interesting. I wonder if simply putting the trailer on an incline would help unweight the bow enough on the 24 foot boats?

    Stoltz Bow Roller Definitive Answer

    Yes, I was able to do so. When you release the tension on the winch, the bow rises a few inches off the roller, leaving plenty of room to swap them. Jeff

    Where/how did you mount your fire extinguisher?

    I agree and I've used this trick as well. There are threaded studs/bolts sticking out all over the place into storage compartments on my boat. I've screwed some small eyelets onto them and used bungees to store some of the spare cushions standing up, and screwed a flashlight mount onto another...

    Where/how did you mount your fire extinguisher?

    I've got one in each place. In the helm storage, the dealer mounted it to the floor, a bit aft of where the storage is secured in that space. In the battery compartment (main cabin compartment, port side), the dealer originally mounted a second one to the floor, kind of back in the corner. I...

    2020 AR210 Engine Problem? Less than 10 hours..

    Likely you have something lodged in an impeller, even if you can't see it. Check out this thread, just a few below your post: https://jetboaters.net/threads/please-help.26977/ Congratulations on the new boat and welcome to the forum, by the way. Lots of great info and very knowledgeable...

    Fix for Connext Battery Voltage Issue - Confirmed

    Can't really tell from the pictures, and without a meter. It's been awhile since I did mine and am not certain it ran through the house switch. From what I can see in the picture it looks like the correct wire. I think you are down to cutting that wire to see if the "SYS" voltage readout goes...

    Fix for Connext Battery Voltage Issue - Confirmed

    I can't see where that cable goes to from your picture, but there is a single cable that is supposed to connect the two negative terminals of the two batteries together. I think that might be it. It looks from your picture like that cable is attached to one of the negative terminals. I think...
