    2019+ Yamaha 195 impeller replacement

    I did end up tapping it and installing a plug, I believe others have said its a holdover from Yamaha using the same nozzle on the Jetski's

    2017 AR195 Steering Cable Replacement

    @HangOutdoors where did you find your cables at? I was in no way implying I was against the aftermarket options I just have not found any options for my AR195. They can't possibly be any worse than the OE cables lol.

    2017 AR195 Steering Cable Replacement

    Ya know, if simply spending 500$ was the cure to the issue for good I would have absolutely no problem with it but seeing as how there has been no redesigns or fix from Yamaha to prevent what is obviously a common pattern failure I think I'd rather see if I can do a better job at finding a...

    2017 AR195 Steering Cable Replacement

    I think I may have to replace the steering cable on my 2019 AR195, the sleeve has popped out of the transom part and the cable just flexs/ binds when trying to turn left at high speeds. I may try to pop the cable back in and put a clamp on the metal thru transom grommet and hope for the best

    195S wont accelerat over 20

    At full throttle you can't get it to rev over 5200 RPM? what does it do at full throttle, does it stutter or what happens? I thoughts at first you may need to replace the impeller but if that were the case you would have cavitation and be bouncing off the rev limiter at full throttle

    Alumacraft Hacked!!

    What year is the boat? If its newer I'd reach out to the dealer if applicable. Of your solutions you're only addressing the problem at hand now, but why did it happen? As if by chance you were to dry it out, is it just going to get water intrusion on your next trip(s) out?

    Process to remove side decal stickers on 2018 SX195

    Im not sure how it will workout for you since your stickers have been on the boat for so long but I took mine off after the first year. It was pretty easy, basically just started in one spot and was able to pull them off without using heat. Once they were off I hit the surface with some goo...

    Yamaha 195s Service Manual

    @NSpradley. Thank you so much! I've had so much curiosity on the theory of operation of the oil and cooling system that this has helped me to understand.

    Fuel vent fell out

    Oh yea, I've lost about half of the cup holder rings! I keep telling myself to put a little silicone on them but I always forget until another one bites the dust lol

    Fuel vent fell out

    That has to instill confidence that your new boat is losing parts already lol. I would recommend you go through the entire boat, you'll find a bunch of loose bolts and screws

    Heyday H22 on order! Going to do watersports on the Hudson!

    Those are sweet boats, I always hated the look of the original wake tractors but I saw one in person and it wasnt actually bad

    $70 Seadeck. What did I do.

    That turned out nice!

    AR 210 vs 195s

    I would say it should all come down to the average of people you'll have going out with you at one time and how big they are. I had 8 people on my AR195 this past Sunday and it was "busy" like everyone mentioned. We mainly will wakeboard up a river until everyone is wore out and then float back...

    Carpet Snap Removal

    The snaps suck to step on and the grey vinyl mats that came with my boat are too damn hot to walk on after a few minutes of being in the sun. I figured it may be worth it to keep the snaps in case I wanted to get the sea dek and snap it in rather than trying to glue it. Anyone have any...

    Glove box fell out on ocean waves

    No, its held in by bolts. I went through my entire boat last night tightening all the bolts because nearly every nut on the boat was loose. I know Yamaha makes more "entry level" boats. Especially the smaller they get but its crazy they couldnt use a little blue locktite at least or nylon...

    Anyone controlling their stereo from a smartwatch?

    Its a fickle mistress. Its great when you're boarding but the people in the back seat dont necessarily enjoy it as much lol

    Anyone controlling their stereo from a smartwatch?

    I got a garmin watch last year and this has not crossed my mind. I'm going to see how it works when behind the boat wakeboarding lol

    Bad battery switch?

    Solved, the 20amp fuse was blown. Likely from when a captain error when I installed a new radio over the weekend. Do not cut a power and ground at the same time unless you disconnect the battery. Otherwise you'll likely let the smoke out of the fuse.
