    Port engine milky oil 2006 AR210 MR1

    Dude, you are freakin' superman. Kuddos to you on job well done. I wouldn't worry about swapping the other motor. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If the other wave runner is usable, enjoy it!

    Trying to make the jump to a Jet boat...…. or not!

    Yamaha engines typically only need oil change and plugs. 1,500-2000 hours wouldn't surprise me...regardless it could be a lifetime of normal use. There are random critical failures here and there as with any high performance motor, but not a rebuild schedule like a 2 stroke.

    Overthinking.

    Dock Blockers

    If they are truly dock blockers, and not single or family launchers/retrievers with no help, then you should just pull up in and around them and drop someone off. If you have to tie off yourself, then you are at their mercy. I've come in and expertly snugged up to drop someone off...often to...

    How many hours have you put on your boat in ONE season? (most of any season)

    We are halfway through 15 season and I finally purchased YDS cable. I thought I would have had 1,000 hrs. I have 596. I average around 40 hours per year. I'll plug in again and get the detail for RPM hours.

    Rebuilt MR1 - low oil light, hard to start, oil/gas in exhaust

    Seems the two would be unrelated, but glad you got if up and running!

    2008 AR230 noise control

    I just wanted to share my experience with sound deadening. I didn't have too much in the expectation department as I was essentially replacing my falling down and disintegrating foam. I pulled the engine cover and cleaned it up. I used the 3m spray contact adhesive. This product has adhesive...

    Ding on intake grate

    Having said what I said, I would probably try and fix it perfect by bending, grinding, filing, and filling with metal if necessary :p

    Painting tower with Line-x

    Unless you just like the cosmetics of it then I couldn't see the value. The biggest con would be rubbing up against it with skin. It is rough.

    Ding on intake grate

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you have nothing noticeable then you can only make it worse by trying a "fix"

    Driveshaft stuck

    The question to me is how did the engine mounts break?

    $70 Seadeck. What did I do.

    What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Looks great.

    Home Equity Loan Lenders?

    My brother is a broker here in TX but it doesn't matter who. It's about rate and fees. They will slide along a scale, little higher rate less fees, little lower rate more fees. Not ideal timing as rates are up about 2.5 points over the last 12 months. Know your credit score and shop around...

    The Blazer SS is back!

    I'm not poo pooing the technology or the advances, but it's just not a realistic option to replace a multi purpose truck.

    The Blazer SS is back!

    Did you see the Ford Lightning tow test? Barely could make 100 miles. May not be a concern towing a boat back and forth to a lake close, but that was disappointing for a truck that supposedly can power your house. Ford Lightning Towing Test Shows Serious Problems

    Carpet Snap Removal

    I used this. Just used a flat toothpick and level with finger. Wiped finger with acetone rag inbetween. Can't even see it...

    Who was it?

    I didn't see that. Thought was an I/O and was like WTF?

    Who was it?

    The first one with the scantily clad girls jumping on the transom with the engine going is how people get killed. SMDH.
