    What speed do you go in "slow" zones?

    It seems that any boat slow but not on plane would put out more wake then on plane.

    Yamaha Mooring Cover Falling Apart

    I've gone through 2 in 6 months. The first took forever for the dealer to issue a refund as I had to order another one to keep a cover on the boat. I had to file BBB complaint to get it refunded and involved Yamaha. 2 seams ripped. The second one is starting has a seam starting to rip and I...

    Water in cylinder head??

    Given this discussion, I would agree to take it to dealership.

    Water in cylinder head??

    Water ingestion happens in a few ways. Water gets in the engine compartment up past intake (this is a lot of water), towing the boat at high speed thereby forcing water back through the cooling system, or flushing the engine and starting/ leaving the water source on with the engine off.

    Water in cylinder head??

    Cracked head, blown head gasket, cracked block, water ingestion,...there a re number of possibilities. If it's not water ingestion...like the boat took on water over the intake, then you have one of the others and it needs to be fixed.

    2008 212x Built-in Ballast for Surfing....Is it enough?

    I'll just add that I replied to your other post and didn't know you were referring to internal ballast. 800 lbs on swimdeck surfside...ideally bury the back rubrail below water. If people put them all surfside to list the boat. That should be a decent wave with wedge adjusted right. Not...

    Want To Buy Jetwash Deflector OR Wake Wedge for 2008 212x

    The wedge is a superior product, but irrelevant if out of your budget.

    Want To Buy Jetwash Deflector OR Wake Wedge for 2008 212x

    Wedge, and the ballast on the swim deck, people in the boat will be a good wave for that boat.

    2014 Shorelander 19ft trailer with surge disc brakes

    I bought a good set of wheel chocks and used the method above by myself. Chock front and back of a wheel, back up and hold the brake, then set emergency brake. Go back and loosen bleeder, then tighten. Go back to truck and pull forward, then back, then forward, then back again. Hold brake...

    Bunk Bolts

    Or slamming on the brakes! Who hasn't done that when they came up a little short on the roller and didn't want to go back in the water? :winkingthumbsup"

    Dual Amp wiring question - wiring kit/fuse block?

    I see. So they recommend 4 AWG for each amp, so you would need to have run 2 sets of wires back to battery and each having inline fuse. Is that what you have installed? If you don't, then what they are providing is good. It's 1/0 to run from battery to distribution block by amps and then...

    Dual Amp wiring question - wiring kit/fuse block?

    If you wiring is sized appropriately and is fused appropriately with an inline fuse or block, or whatever....I don't see what you are gaining. You are essentially paying $440 for an extended warranty. Just go in with eyes wide open. If you need to rewire for whatever reason, just find an...

    Wakeboarding critique requested

    If it feels like you are sinking in the water vs gliding on top then you are likely too slow. It will be different based on weight and size of board. After that it's about feeling in control.

    Wakeboarding critique requested

    Sorry that doesn't look like you are going that fast. I guess just practice. I couldn't even get up the first year we had the boat. I'm going 18.5 here.

    Wakeboarding critique requested

    I'm at 200 lb and a 140 is fine. You are going way too slow it appears and dragging in the water. 17-20 mph is target for most. I like around 18.5 but don't wakeboard much. You need a non stretch rope and length is based on where you want to be on the wake to jump. If you will never jump...

    Yamaha Audio question

    I don't know this unit, but the amp could be a combo unit and the interface is just the interface. The yellow is likely like all yellow wires...constant to keep any settings that reside in the unit. I doubt it's just a dumb amp. Further research indicates it's appears like this one BLUECUBE6 Mini
