    Aargh... Milkshake Engine Oil... WTF? (Port Engine, 2016 AR240, ~300 hrs)

    I would feel somewhat better about my cracked head being a fluke if your very similar situation turns out to be something else (hopefully also a fluke). I do recall one of the video's I saw when researching my issue was they had to get the pressure up to 80 lbs before the crack started to leak...

    Aargh... Milkshake Engine Oil... WTF? (Port Engine, 2016 AR240, ~300 hrs)

    Good luck. In searching my issue after it happened I was able to find a couple more of the same issue. Both cracks were right near the #2 cylinder head bolt. One dealer tore apart the entire engine before deciding to pressure test the head. The cracks were barely visible to the naked eye.

    Aargh... Milkshake Engine Oil... WTF? (Port Engine, 2016 AR240, ~300 hrs)

    Could be same as I reported back in August with the below issue. In the begining of August I was checking engine oil and found it milky on the port engine. Pulled the fill cap and it was covered in oil that looked like chocolate milk and was foamy. Drained and refilled the oil and filter on...

    Has anyone removed their 12” Connext screen?

    Yep, brought mine to dealer last winter for same issue. From behind the dash after I took out all of the screws holding the dash I realized I only needed to unscrew the 4 screws holding the screen to the dash. Ugh. Very simple job. Took a pic of the wiring before unplugging but straight forward...

    Aux Power - How?

    To solve the Connext alarm I turn off one engine then turn the key back to acc, then turn off the other engine. Connext stays on throughout.

    Yamaha Extended Warranty Do I need?

    UP until this year I would have said don't go with an extended warranty. Fortunately for me Yamaha threw a 5 year extended warranty when I purchased my 2015 new. I've had 2 issues. This year they swapped out the Connext screen as it was delaminating. No hassle there as it was late winter and no...

    2019 SX240 Bimini top

    Same problem when I first got my new boat. Solution is what Drift Away replied. Dealer said same thing. Easy remedy.

    Boat lift adjustment for 242 LS

    The sand bar down there is the party spot now. Been thru a few owners in recent years. I’m on Hemlock Point.

    Boat lift adjustment for 242 LS

    The bunks don’t quite make it to the grates. Yep Long Pond. Hit my share of stuff with my old IO. Much safer with the jet boat. U wouldn’t believe how Many Yamahas there are out there now. Grew up on the lake then moved back 4 years ago when we downsized.

    Boat lift adjustment for 242 LS

    My dock on the lake is in fairly shallow water so setting them narrowly allows me to lower the lift enough to get the boat off. I usually move the lift further out a time or 2 during the season as the lake drops. Based on my vacations in the keys it appears everyone has the bunks failrly narrow...

    Boat lift adjustment for 242 LS

    I tweaked mine the first couple seasons as I started with the trailer measurements first. It felt sloppy catching the bunks so I moved them in some the next year and finally have them set equally front to back at approx 28 inches where the outer edge of the bunks makes contact with the boat. At...

    Woohoo! Delivery day! #2019 #242x

    Love that color scheme. Yamaha does a good job mixing it up year to year. Enjoy the new toy.

    How do I watch NHL playoffs with no cable?

    Recently cut cable tv also. Now just pay for internet. I picked up a $25/month Sling Blue subscription. It has NBCSN which I’ve been able to watch Bruins games on this playoffs. I also have an HD antenna and have used that to get NBCSN also in the instance where Sling didn’t have one of the...

    Connex screen cracked

    When I brought the Connext screen to the dealer he looked at it and said it should be covered under warranty as it's defective. Other than following up with the dealer prior to the NE Boat Show I expected it to be covered. Yamaha had it for quite some time but I just received the new one from...

    Connex screen cracked

    Crawled under the boat cover and partly into the helm access last week. Removed the connext screen. Dealer said Yamaha wants it sent to them to inspect. Bringing it to dealer tomorrow. Better than hauling the boat there I guess.
