    Seadek Installed Terra over Black

    Sexy Sue is a 1944 Douglas A-26 "Invader". (Also known as a B26...but not to be confused with a "Marauder") The A-26 was built to replace the B-25. Really good idea on the simple green. I wouldn't have thought of that. I already need some degreasing from our last camping trip. My kids...

    Seadek Installed Terra over Black

    As promised, here is the Terra over Black Seadek installed on our 2016 242. When I was "shopping" it was pretty difficult to find posts with the different colors of seadek installed on the 2015 and newer 242. So, hopefully this helps someone. The removal of the factory chocolate seadek was...

    I just got my shipment of seadek. Terra over black. I ordered the cockpit set, the swim deck set, and all optional pads. (I wasn’t sent the optional set....must have been missed on accident). I’m installing it the next few days. Once I have the optional stuff and everything is in I will let...

    This has been great input! I will remove the valve cover and check the chain. Then at least i know what i have. And then go boating and not worry about it! Thanks guys!

    Have you had a 1.8 timing chain failure, was it in warranty and how has Yamaha handled it?

    i hope so! not much i can do about it anyway i guess. is there any place to purchase a spare engine at a reasonable price? might not be bad to have one i stand by... (for me anyway)

    Have you had a 1.8 timing chain failure, was it in warranty and how has Yamaha handled it?

    i have a 2016 242 limited s e series. the engine block ID tags say the engines were manufactured on 7/15, so should i be worried about the cam chain, or did they incorporate the larger chain during 7/15? any way to tell what size the cam chain is for sure besides opening it up?
