    2018 242 Limited SE - Water Leak

    I found the leak while on the water. I decided to take the boat to the dealership as it's still under warranty. Hopefully they'll correct the issue!

    2018 242 Limited SE - Water Leak

    I've had a slow water leak in my 242 since it was new. The warranty expires later this year, so I decided to try to find the leak (I know, this should have been resolved long ago). I found a leaking water hose at the rear of the boat (see picture) that appears to be leaking where the factory...

    Lectrotab Trim Tabs

    Thanks for all the info provided. A few more questions: Is the mounting hardware included? I'm assuming not, based upon what I've read here. If not, does anyone have a list of hardware used? Can one of you guys provide a picture of where you ran the wire through the transom? How much time...

    Lake Marion to Charleston

    Did any of you guys end up making this trip? If so: What boat ramp did you use? Where did you stay in Charleston? Any "must see" areas to visit by boat once you make it to the Charleston area?

    I'm not seeing the invoice in post #110. I see that you make reference to the invoice, but I'm not seeing the invoice. Thanks for the inputs!

    Lectrotab Trim Tabs

    Guys, I'm considering this mod and I've read many posts relating to the benefits of the trim tabs (I'm sold, LOL). Can someone help with the following (I have a 2018 242 Limited SE): Is there a kit item number I can look for or recommended size for the trim tabs? I'll probably go with...

    2018-2019 242 adjustable bimini

    My top has loosened twice, both times while on the water. The first time, the bolt actually fell in the floor. The second time, I noticed the tower making some noise and caught it just before it fell out. I would think this is somewhat of a safety issue. I think I’ll add blue Lo time to mine...

    Let me know when you make this trip again. This is something the wife and I really want to do at some point, but I’m not comfortable making the trip alone.

    Help！2018 YAMAHA 242 Communication Error - Keypad- Check keypad CAN.

    I had that error several times last summer. Never figured exact cause, but I think it may have been related to low battery voltage. After I put the batteries on trickle charge a week, the message hasn’t appeared again.

    Simrad owners

    I have a GO5XSE that I'm trying to use with Navionics+ maps. The whole point was to use Navionics to create my route at home, then transfer to the device. This has proven to be much more difficult than my previous Garmin chartplotters. I'm able to transfer the waypoints and they appear to...

    242x Yamaha swivel racks ?

    I ended up buying the Krypt Swivel rack from bulletlines.com. I only purchased one, so I could make sure it worked like I wanted. After one day on the boat, everything seems great. This is my first rack, but it’s pretty solid.

    Upstate South Carolina Lakes

    Thanks for the detailed response, let me know how you end up liking Lake Greenwood. We'll probably make 3 or the 4 lakes during the trip, we are trying to decide between Hartwell and Greenwood.

    Upstate South Carolina Lakes

    I'm planning a trip to visit Lakes Jocassee, Keowee, Hartwell, and Greenwood (South Carolina)in early July. Any suggestions on things to see / do at each lake? Any suggestions on boat ramps to use? I'll be staying in the Clemson area and driving to each lake.

    Ordering a WakeBooster

    I ordered and paid for one last September. I spoke with the dealer today and he said the delivery date was updated to early June. He said his level of confidence on that date is low as Yamaha has continued to move the delivery date.

    Monster Tower rack 2018 Limited SE

    Thanks for your inputs, I think I'm going to try the Bulletlines (Krypt). I wanted to go with the OEM rack, but that price is steep!

    242 E Series Bimini

    Do you leave the tower up with the Bimini on (while towing)? I live an hour from the lake and average 55-60mph in towing. I purchased the boat at the end of last summer and the dealer told me to remove the bimini canvas during towing. I love the bimini on this boat, but this is a huge pain to...
