    Fix for Connext Battery Voltage Issue - Confirmed

    As noted a few posts above, I completed this fix a few months back, although I had not switched the leads at the SPU, so "SYS" read the house battery voltage and "AUX" read the start battery voltage. Inspired by @Pullen724's post and @Mainah's comment above, I just now switched the leads so the...

    2017 212X Top Speed

    So, just picked up the boat yesterday from its 10 hour service (done at 8 hours), and convinced my wife that it would be a nice day to take it out, albeit a bit cold. I then convinced her to let me take a crack at a top speed run while she waited on the dock--she's very understanding. At about...

    Mid-Cabin Speaker Placement--Opinions Appreciated

    Thanks for the inquiry, but no they are not for sale. I put them in the RV. Quite an improvement over the stock junk they installed there.

    Accidentally Ran water while engine was not running....

    I think the answer to this is that, if the muffler fills up as Jeff from Cobra Jet Steering referenced, water would eventually back up to the exhaust manifold and then into the cylinder(s) through an open exhaust valve. At least one of the them will be open with the engine shut off. Running...

    2016 242X Sound System Build

    By the way @DJMattyT, that is one sharp-looking boat. Maybe a matching blue/gray/black sweater for your Pug for Christmas?

    2018 242X Audio Problem

    So, in communications with OP (@BoaTN), he's got a late 2018 and it's clear his cabin and bow speakers are in parallel--Yamaha must have changed over later in the model year. My late 2018 212X had the cabin and bow speakers in series. First you need to confirm that yours are in series--and...

    Looking for advice on a 2017 212X stereo upgrade

    I agree with you Dave. Cutting into that area to try to squeeze a 6.5 in place of the 5.25 doesn't seem worth the risk. The shim idea might work, but unless it is kinda thick, I'm still not convinced the larger speaker will fit in the hole. I'm holding out hope that Wet Sounds will make a Revo...

    Looking for advice on a 2017 212X stereo upgrade

    Hi All; Reviving this thread to see if anyone has in fact added 6.5's to the swim deck to replace the stock 5.25's (Wet Sounds on my boat) for a 212X. I see @geohil was heading that direction with Revo 6's, and I'm curious if he's gotten there, or if anyone else has done so. The reason I'm...

    2018 242X Audio Problem

    So, I've been through what you're talking about with my 2018 212X, with one HTX-6 DSP amp. The HU on the 212X is the Polk PA4, not the Fusion, however. Here is what I found: https://jetboaters.net/threads/2018-212x-audio-system-brand-setup-change-from-2017.19663/ Also, see this thread...

    JETBOATPILOT HAS SOMETHING NEW COMING SOON!!!

    I am a lawyer and I think I can help you with your foreclosure problem. The Supreme Court has held that jet boaters are a protected class under the 14th Amendment. The bank cannot foreclose if the basis for your default is associated with jet boating "or any rights or accessories appurtenant...

    mr-1 engine help

    Agree with the bore scope comment. That's why I wanted to see the spark plugs. If you don't have one, they are under $50 at Harbor Freight and work well. As was asked by Jeff at CJS above, is there water in the oil? Really sorry for your situation here.

    Don't know. Was just trying to go off the symptoms.

    mr-1 engine help

    Also, since you pulled the plugs, can you post a picture of them, lined up left-to-right, cylinders 1-4? If it was a sudden failure, I'd suspect valve train/timing chain issues. Sounds like the engine still turns over, so hopefully no piston/valve contact. If there was, plug #4 would be...

    Mid-Cabin Speaker Placement--Opinions Appreciated

    I was thinking, particularly since this thread is now preserved in the FAQ's, I'd add a couple more comments in connection with adding the mid-cabin speakers and the second amp. When cutting the new holes in our 2018 212X, we of course looked behind the area we wanted to cut. On the starboard...

    My 8 year old wakesurfing....

    That was a mistake from big thumbs and small icons on my phone while reading this thread. Sorry about that.

    Dealing with Bunk Blocking Ballast Intake?

    Tahoe is unique. After they inspect you they put a thin wire lock on your boat from the bow loop to the trailer, and you break it/cut it to launch the boat on the lake-they have officials at every ramp to make sure the lock is there. Then when you come off the lake, they put another wire on...
