    Engine Trouble

    Thank you again everyone. I will pull the pumps and check the plugs ASAP. In a perfect world I can get on the water this weekend to see if that solves it.

    Engine Trouble

    I did pull the filters when I winterized last year to fog the engine and they were dry for whatever that’s worth. But I will check again. Thanks guys!

    Engine Trouble

    I am the second owner. Previous owner (a member here) did the last oil change about a year before I did the one in question. I actually started a thread here because I was concerned about the amount. https://jetboaters.net/threads/oil-change-question.18449/ I did not check the pumps, mostly...

    Engine Trouble

    Sorry I’m advance for the long post, but I figured I would give as much info as I could. You can decide what of that info is worthless. I had changed the oil and plugs on June 29. I ended up getting over 5 quarts out of each engine, but I only put 4 back in. I used Yamaha oil and filters just...

    Throttle Movement

    I believe that on the back side of the throttles at the base there is a plastic plate. If you remove that there are tension screws that can be tightened.

    Clemson Tiger - What should we do?

    I don’t post nearly as much as others, and I have not had a personal issue with CT, but I have come across some posts where he is clearly trying to cause problems. I have also come across some posts, in the cooking section especially, where he is putting out some great content for someone like...

    JetBoatPilot Lateral Thruster / Thrust Vector Group Buy 2018

    Not to get off the excitement of warranty talk, but figured I would post that I am in on the LT’s. Seeing 21 already confirmed helped nudge me over the edge, so I’m hoping I can do that for a few others too.

    Super Embarrassing

    Not a plug, but damn near landed me on the qualified captain on instagram nonetheless. Putting the boat in at Norris Lake. Zero cell service and we are trying to beat the rain, but have no radar. 10 minutes from the ramp to the house so we figure we can make it. While I’m backing down it starts...

    Rescue buoy or rescue bag recommendations

    I also keep the throwable cushion by the throttles. It is also convenient there because if someone is sitting right in front of me I can grab it to sit on to get me just high enough to see without having to sit on the bolster.

    Bimini Boot

    Thanks guys. I will look into custom and keep an eye elsewhere. Sounds like skipping the cheap Amazon one is the way to go.

    Bimini Boot

    My boot is shredded. It had a hole when I bought it, but it’s a goner now. Saw some replacements on Amazon for around $45, but they didn’t get the best reviews. The OEM replacement is $120, and I assume has the strap/buckle in addition to the zipper. If any of you have replaced your boot, did...

    Lake Norman, NC

    No idea if they even did them then. We couldn't see over the trees. People behind us were lighting off stuff so I couldn't hear if Queens Landing was or wasn't doing anything. Boats all sat out there until around 10:30 and they left. Someone directly across the lake from us had a smaller...

    Lake Norman, NC

    @Weeb they had fireworks at Queens Landing. We all gathered on the top deck of the dock to watch. Boats everywhere lit up in the water. Awesome atmosphere. Unfortunately we should have noticed the boats stopped at the tree line. Didn’t see one damn firework.:banghead:

    Lake Norman, NC

    Very nice @Smitty! This was our dock. Stuck out like a sore thumb so easy to find. Sounds like it’s right by you.

    Lake Norman, NC

    Since this Lake had some reputation issues I figured I would give my $.02 after spending a week there. The good: Huge Lake, plenty of marinas, incredible homes, weather was perfect, nice free ramps, well marked channels and hazards, and the house we rented easily fit 37 of us. During the week...

    Oil change question

    Will do. Thanks!

    Oil change question

    I didn’t notice anything. And I took it to a local mechanic to dispose of and he didn’t say anything either, so hopefully we are good.

    Oil change question

    Thanks! When the oil kept coming out I started to panic. Appreciate the help. Will have the boat in the water tomorrow and will check after we run it a bit.

    Oil change question

    I’m doing my first oil change. Based on the threads, I was expecting to get just under 4 quarts out. To my surprise, I got out well over 4. I have checked the levels and it was not high, and I haven’t added any since in the time I have had the boat, which was last August. I’m assuming I only...
