    Looking for Arizona dealer / mechanic for maintenance.

    Usually I do all my own maintenance, but right now I need an exhaust manifold gasket replaced and would like to know where you Phoenix / East Valley folks get your maintenance done. The place we bought the boat is long gone, and we don't want to trust just anybody with MAGIC! We are in Mesa in...

    Welcome to JETBOATERS.net!

    Keep an eye out for Jason and Josh. Brothers that own a 242 Limited...... Met them at Saguaro lake last week and gave them the jetboaters.net info. Said they might join here! They had gravel stuck in their right nozzle-gate effectively freezing it and making the right engine unusable ...

    Yamaha surf wake wedge reveal!!! Warning pic heavy

    Maybe just copyright "WakeWedge" so you have exclusive rights to that name? Then if you want to spread out to other models it would be no problem...... Also you might run into some static from Yamaha by using their name until they come up with a flimsy rudder-like appendage that bolts to one...

    Anchor setup for anchoring at a cove or beach

    Very sad Jim, I never guarded around Newport, but the feeling is the same for guards everywhere....... From what I gathered from the story the guard was attempting a rescue near a pier..... We always tried to keep the surfers and swimmers a good distance from the piers for fear of just this...

    Anchor setup for anchoring at a cove or beach

    Usually just 4 ft or so of line to float the fender, but the line is adjustable, although I don't remember ever having to adjust it..... We use a spare small fender, nothing special, again it is just a consideration to other boaters so they are aware of our ground tackle and keep from running...

    Anchor setup for anchoring at a cove or beach

    We set the anchor buoy off the point where we attach the anchor buddy to the anchor line....just use the same carabiner that we attach the anchor buddy to the chain rode we use with the box anchor..... I know they say you don't need a chain rode with the box anchor or anchor buddy, but we do...

    Anchor setup for anchoring at a cove or beach

    If we were in a place, as we often are, with loads of boats all bow to, then we would just go bow to as well..... no sense in going against the grain.... Its only when we have the freedom to anchor as we wish and for overnights that we tie stern-to with the anchor buddy...... especially with...

    Anchor setup for anchoring at a cove or beach

    @Glassman likes to dive his anchor out, but you can just drop it a ways from the beach with practice.... Remember to set an anchor line float to prevent others from fouling your gear.....its just considerate!
