    I use boat trader and a power search on google for craigslist. "Yamaha 2015 242 site:craigslist.org" that will search all craigslist listings, not just your area and surroundings.

    Push Button Start Mod - It works! With video and full instructions

    In the very first post of this thread, there is a parts list for this mod. I have all those parts, never used. I bought them all in the off-season with a plan to do, but then @Mainah's son did the plug and play kit, so I got in on that. Works awesome (once the engines are warm). Anyways, I...

    2021 Models

    Having a 2015 242LE with some upgrades and great resale value, I am really curious about upgrading to a 25' boat. As my kids are getting older and want to surf easier, been thinking about an 'X'. Really hope the 25' is still a wakeboard boat and not closer to what the 275 is. I could see...

    HELP, my wife’s suit stained our brand new boat seats!

    I second that I stopped caring. Accidents happen and most stains fade over time in the sun. I still very much take care of my boat and has great resale value.

    Ribbon delete

    I can't get mine about 7500 RPMs in central ohio, 45MPH is fast as I've gone. Indian Lake is 1000ft above sea level, not sure if thats the cause or the Cali tuned engines I have. Oh, I do have ribbons deleted.

    Detailed 2016 242 LS $1k Audio Upgrade

    I use a 100amp inline breaker switch. I use that to turn off the amps.

    Detailed 2016 242 LS $1k Audio Upgrade

    New 0-4g from house battery to the distribution block behind the helm. Don't mess with the switches, too tight to deal with, no advantage. And I like my stereo off, but the bilge on. You can run the wire over the fuel tank in some wire loom.

    Want a lot of bass for not a lot of money? Here is what I just discovered.

    No, rarely have an issue. The house battery doesn't control the starter, always able to start the boat up and charge things.

    Not the best, but you get the idea.

    Want a lot of bass for not a lot of money? Here is what I just discovered.

    I have my sub under the port rear seat. I bought my amp refurbed for $230 from Creative Audio, 0 issues. You need an IB sub without any inclosure. I went with the MX-IB3, not the best but does well. Its 200 or less. I would also caution with comparing watts between brands as a comparison...

    Want a lot of bass for not a lot of money? Here is what I just discovered.

    YMMV, my 10" JL Audio IB with a dedicated JL M200 bridged amp hits very hard. Sensitivity is even set at maybe 40%.

    Group Buy 2019 JetBoaters.Net SeaDek Group Buy Sponsored By JetBoatPilot <30% MAX Discount Hit!>

    I see the chocolate over black is either discontinued or no warranty, but I’ve got a 2015 242 Limited S. Is it recommended to remove the swim platform and anchor locker cover mats and replace all with something else? I’ve had no burn in with my chocolate over black after 4 seasons.

    New Dock/Dry Slip w/Rhino Lift - Hands Free Operation!

    I couldn't help but notice how fast your lift goes down. My is a pull system and takes about 5 mins to go fully up or down. Thought about asking my marina owner if I can pay to upgrade the motor on the lift.

    303AP is aerospace protectant or automative protectant?

    Will this truck tow my boat?

    Actually the car prefers to update more frequently thru wifi, but it will definitely update via LTE at times, seen it happen personally multiple times. Got my Tesla Model S this year and can't ever see going back to an ICE. And the giant 17" screen with the lack of ugly buttons is just icing...

    Tube storage

    End of day, I let the air out, lay across the 2 captains chairs, put the mooring cover on while I'm gone. When I come back the next week, goes in the ski storage.

    Lake Chautauqua New York Thoughts

    Didn't get a reply when the New Yorkers were still under snow, so now we're in the summer months and more activity. We found quite a bit todo at this lake and decided to add another day to the trip. Planning to overnight dock at Long Point State Park as we're camping at the KOA right there...

    2015 242 Shower Pump Not Working

    I'm sure I'll be able to trace where the tank and pump are located, but could someone give me a clue? Is it where the fuel tank is?
