    My nephew had his drone out on the boat with us yesterday.

    By the way, my drone is in the Gulf of Mexico. First launch off the boat and into the sea. Luckily it was an older drone, but a loss none the less. Haven't tried that again. 🤣

    Deck drains fsh 190

    There are one way flapper valves in the house on the way out. I always kept a thing piece of hose around and would pole it down the drain and it would open up enough to let the water flow out faster. The other issue is, some people's flappers were put in backwards. A forum search will find this...

    Aluminum Trailer Upgrade Costs

    I purchased mine there as well. Barney's in St. Pete wanted $895 extra. With the base boats being the same price at both places.

    Aluminum Trailer Upgrade Costs

    And some dealers will try to charge you extra for that aluminum trailer and others will not. Check your dealers, don't pay extra if you don't have to.

    Overheating issue

    This is Julian's image and thread... But that white grate is the water intake. Make sure that is clear at the time. https://jetboaters.net/threads/how-to-clean-the-cooling-water-intake-strainer.1011/

    Overheating issue

    Overheat is usually caused by seaweed/grass getting sucked up and clogging the engine water intake. That's what the cleanout is for. It'll take a bit for the engine to cool off even after the clog is cleared. If it's really bad, you'll notice poor acceleration/thrust. You can try putting it in...

    Aluminum Trailer Upgrade Costs

    I'm in Florida (think salt water). I would assume all dealers would be selling their boat's on aluminum trailers. My dealer didn't charge any extra for the boat coming with the aluminum trailer. Another dealer claimed they had to add $895 for the aluminum trailer. Even though the boat base...

    Bilge Pump

    Test switch is on the bilge pump itself, kind of where the bottom meets the body of the pump. You'd have to feel for it. It's not sticking out, it's more like a flat pressure sensor. There was an addendum to my owners manual (2018). Sold the boat, so I can't look it up. It's works, so you're all...

    Bilge Pump

    There's also a "touch" test sensor on the side of the pump itself. Swipe you finger on it (first you have to find it) and it will (should) run with the batteries off. Good luck!

    Bilge Pump

    The bilge pump will (should) turn on by itself once water level in the bilge gets to a certain point. That is with the bilge switch off and even with the house and start batteries switched off. I didn't trust it at first either, but it works. I was flushing the hull of salt water one time and...

    Simple, dumb question...

    Looky what I found today! I had it in the boat with the registration, etc. And the tool kit even. Thanks for the help everyone. 👍

    Simple, dumb question...

    Juilan... I think I just registered my boat at their guitar website. There boating site had no registration capabilities that I found. Marcham... Thanks, that did the trick. Manual downloaded! Like I say, I just wanted to be sure I didn't lose the manual if I was given one. It doesn't make...

    Simple, dumb question...

    Thank you, I'll give that a try. I'm pretty particular about paperwork, etc. Didn't want to lose something I should have been hanging onto. Makes no sense that there would be no printed owner's manual given at time of new purchase.

    Simple, dumb question...

    Purchased my 190FSH Sport new in 2018. Been looking around the house for the Owner's Manual. Did we get owner's manuals at time of purchase??? They seem to be elusive critters. I do have a DVD titled "Basic Orientation"... Thanks!

    Yamaha at it's finest

    They didn't blink an eye on mine. Replaced it no problem. Wondering how long before it cracks again. Kind of like bakelite.

    Yamaha at it's finest

    That is the bracket that holds a gauge to the back of the console. I had the same problem. Yamaha replaced my Connext with a new one because the plastic mounts broke off and is what is attached to the bracket. Actually I found mine in with the gas tank area,

    Getting my own little 210 FSH

    Make sure they go over proper flushing procedures with you. And ask them about Salt Away if you are salt water bound. Congratulations!!!

    2019 FSH 210

    It's my understanding that the "pee hole/s" are not necessarily a good indicator during a flush. Water's dropping out of the nozzle areas, etc. as well. I just make sure the stream is similar from flush to flush. Best way to tell us drop her in the water again and see how she pees. It always...

    Comparison of FSH190 to scarab

    Sky Powersports on 19 in Port Richey will give you the Scarab sided story. As I recall, way more expensive, no clean out, but I do like the drop down tailgate. More sporty in my opinion.
