    Best Boat GPS

    That’s the one. It looks like all the really negative stuff is from people who had older versions and couldn’t transfer to the new platform. I guess if I’m coming in fresh it should be fine. Thanks!

    Ecoboost towing question

    Has the tow mode and I had it engaged. I didn’t lock out any gears and had never heard of doing it when towing until after my problem. Every 10 seconds or so the RPM’s would flutter and the engine would shudder. Gets real old, real fast, but not scary like losing power. The guys on the truck...

    Best Boat GPS

    Is it the “Boating Marine and Lakes” by Navionics? The recent reviews on that are 1 ⭐️ after 1 ⭐️. Is it just the old users who can’t transfer data, or does the current version suck that bad?

    That looks awesome! We have only been on spring break and the inflatables aren’t up yet.

    Ecoboost towing question

    I have a ‘15 Expedition with the 3.5 ecoboost. Bought it used and have had some shuddering issues. Misfire and lost power on the way to Norris Lake last week scared the piss out of me. Changed the plugs and coil packs and that seems to have solved it, but in all my research I saw some F150...

    Slight Vibration/Rumble

    I have it to. Happens at low speed just above no wake speed. Figured it was my buckets, but wasn’t a big enough headache that I wanted to adjust them and risk screwing up something else.

    Crab Island Destin Fl

    We rented a pontoon there last month. The place we rented from had a 19’ Yamaha they used for guided tours. If it works for them I would say you are fine. Crab Island Excursion - Power Up Watersports

    Tube rope extension

    I bought 3 airhead ropes on Amazon that were 50 feet with extensions up to 60. Used the third rope to make the other 2 long enough to get them out of the spray.

    Engine Trouble

    Update on this thread and a couple more questions. Ended up taking it to the dealer last year as I couldn’t find a damn thing that could cause it. They said it was the throttle cable being bound up by perfect pass (an out of warranty fix of course), and sent me home good as new. Weather had...

    Hello from Norris Lake!

    Can’t think of a better gift than that! Congrats on kicking cancer’s ass and the boat! We will be down your way at the end of the month. Beers are on me if we cross paths.

    Bimini top

    Are you supposed to tow with the bimini removed and stowed in the boat, or is it ok keeping it folded up and tied to the tower? Our boot shredded last year, and ever since then I wondered if I should have been removing the whole thing for towing?

    Yamaha on @thequalifiedcaptain

    If you don’t follow @thequalifiedcaptain on instagram you’re missing out. It’s a miracle we didn’t get on there last year after a launch “mishap.” Anyway I saw a Yamaha unfortunately made it today. When people get stuck at low tide it’s funny. This looked worse. Hope everyone was ok and it...

    Very nice! How long is that?

    Jet today gone tomorrow. ( Venting a little winter frustration ) and just a good typical discussion.

    I was tagged too so I may as well throw in my $.02. I ditched Facebook a couple of years ago and this is the closest to social media I get. This forum was the biggest reason I bought a Yamaha, and I in fact purchased from the classifieds here. Having said that I also have learned so much about...

    Talk me into this

    Let’s say you just want to try surfing, but really don’t know if it’s something your family will be into or not. Can you get enough of a wave with just human ballast to get an idea if it’s something you would like? I know you couldn’t do ropeless or do tricks, but is the wave in that event...

    Building my Basement Bar

    You would be surprised. I did pour in place, but they also turned out great and I have no idea what I’m doing. Just followed the YouTube video from the company I bought the stuff from.

    Newbie to yamahas thoughts on this potential deal?

    I bought from a member here. Drove 8 hours to get it. We did water test, but like others have said since I was able to read all of his posts over a couple of years I was very confident in what I was getting.
