    Yamaha side emblem

    Anyone have an extra H and A around...? Not sure if it was an accent or vandalism, but found mine in the driveway in rough shape.

    Cooler Options??

    In case you guys haven't seen there is a really nice generic alternative to the factory cooler. Its a generic roto style cooler from amazon. Here is a link and pics. I found it on my own and when I logged in to post I saw that another member too discovered this about a month before me so at...

    Found a cooler option

    So I didn't see this thread until now, but I too landed on the Gaintex 40 qrt after doing my own research... All I did was take the rubber feet off the bottom and it fits perfect.

    Cooler Options

    Welp, I finally found a really nice replacement cooler for the FSH around $100. Its a roto from China that has been doing just fine. It held 30 lbs of ice for almost 3 days while being opened many times each day, so I was very pleased. Now, you do loose a little bit of space by volume...

    Console glove compartment

    There is no drain in the FSH.

    Console glove compartment

    Funny story, I had not seen this post and last month that hinge opened up going down the highway. My boat registration card, upgraded Map/Chart SD card, and various spare parts flew out of the boat, and not to mention a bunch of crap my wife shoved in there. I was a pissed to say the least and...

    What is the "real" top speed for a 190 FSH Sport? Apples to apples...

    I always use my GPS for tracking actual speed. My boat would previously hit 40 mph (43 mph Connex) with 2 persons on the leaning post and half tank or less of fuel with no gear. I recently added Jeff's CJS Viper Steering System and lost 1.5 mph on the same stretch of test water (flat, no...

    JetBoatPilot Lateral Thruster / Thrust Vector Group Buy 2018

    Anybody else notice the jet resigned on the 19's? Looks like Yamaha is trying to emulate the JBP lateral thrust with the new reverse nozzle... I plan on upgrading in a few years so now I'm wondering if I should even bother with the thrusters since I don't really have any issues with my boat...

    What is the "real" top speed for a 190 FSH Sport? Apples to apples...

    I'm looking to upgrade in a few years if/when Yamaha releases a 23'+ FSH with twin HOs or SVHOs so I'm trying to leave this rig stock and save the extra money for that. Until then, I'll live with the pontoon speeds...

    What is the "real" top speed for a 190 FSH Sport? Apples to apples...

    @Blindduck Are you completely stock? I find it hard to believe there's such a variation in speed between our two boats. Mine is a 2018, but from what I can tell the only differences are purely cosmetic. As an experiment I removed all gear and equipment from the boat, filled the live well...

    What is the "real" top speed for a 190 FSH Sport? Apples to apples...

    My TOP speed with myself, wife, and a small cooler was 38 MPH here in middle TN on a glass-topped lake with a full gas tank. Top speed with 2 extra people dropped to 33. I like cruising to save fuel, but I gotta say this boat feels a pretty weak with the hammer down... Oh yeah, and I've never...

    10 hr maintenance - 1.75 Gallons oil removed!!!

    I'll pull the filter and check. I don't recall doing too much idling. Is that seriously a concern with this motor?

    10 hr maintenance - 1.75 Gallons oil removed!!!

    Hey everybody, I hate to be posting this, but I got a new 190 FSH Deluxe from my Nashville dealer less than a month ago and it is time for my 10 hr maintenance. The dealer knows I'm pretty handy and sold me the oil change kit no fuss, and said it wouldn't affect my 2 year YES warranty, go to...

    installing a Lowarence Elite 5 on a FSH

    I appreciate the feedback fellas. As a serious fishermen, I would love the input from a peer, but I'm assuming the rest of them just put holes in their boat... I wish I had more time or I'd be the guy to do a side-by-side test of HDI and CHIRP on both transom mounted and shoot-thru. My main...

    installing a Lowarence Elite 5 on a FSH

    Hello all, I'm a new jet boat owner so I'm new to the community. I was popping through some threads when I stumbled upon this one. I have one question (or 2), and I hope I'm not beating a dead horse, but how much quality loss, if any, was there in shooting through the hull by epoxying the...
