    Independant Yamaha Mechanic/Shop - Florida

    Will do. I believe the Barney's family just sold their dealership to a larger family owned one and now has a new name. I may consider them in the future, but I'm hopeful that if Cycle Springs doesn't get their act together, that the smaller independant shop TheJetSkiRepairShop can get me sorted...

    Independant Yamaha Mechanic/Shop - Florida

    Thanks Adrian, This guy was super nice and helpful. As soon as I started telling him my problem he knew exactly what I was talking about and said he could help but he thinks it's most likely a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. For anyone else who may be searching for a similar topic...

    Independant Yamaha Mechanic/Shop - Florida

    Does anyone have a recommendation/contact for an independent Yamaha mechanic or shop anywhere in Florida that I can connect with? To summarize, my 2015 AR240 is down at Cycle Springs in Oldsmar to remove a broken spark plug, which they did, but are now telling me I have 2 cracks (1 in each...

    YDS for Rent

    I couldn't find the version I needed on eBay for my 2015 AR240, only the YDS 1.33 for older models. I found the company out in Cali that sells the one I need but their order here link is broken. I've emailed them to see if they will respond/are still in business but if I can rent one I'd do that...

    Steering Options - Cobra Steering / Thrust Vector - Tried both?

    Appreciate it. I'm local to Jeff and he installed my fins when I started with an older setup then upgraded to the latest and greatest. You mentioned you love your LT's and have owned both steering systems if I'm understanding your reply. If so, what made you make the switch and it appears...

    Steering Options - Cobra Steering / Thrust Vector - Tried both?

    Afternoon everyone! With it being the time of year, I see that @JetBoatPilot is running their yearly group buy on their aftermarket steering solution, including the Thrust Vector X and Lateral Thrusters. On my 2015 AR240, I currently have the Cobra Steering Super Ultimate AK system and I have...

    Hitch drop needed - AR240 w/ 2018 F-150

    It's pretty easy to determine what hitch you need with just a tape measure and level. This video is well worth the 1:39 to watch to get it right for nothing else but safety reasons. If I had to guess I'm betting it's probably a 2inch drop unless you have larger tires and/or suspension work done.

    Mission/Sentry fenders, 30% off

    @Dean P I think that's around the price I paid as well. I know you're in St. Pete and I'm in Tampa/Oldsmar. If its worth a shot, I'd gladly let you try this one for an extended period of time if you wanted to grab it some way or another.

    Mission/Sentry fenders, 30% off

    I'm not a fan personally. I bought one to test when I first got the boat (the fender was discounted) and I dont think I've used it more than 2 or 3 times before going back to the traditional round bumpers. With that, its good for the rear cleat but that's in for me and even then I dont use it...

    Hydroturf removal

    I wouldn't wish this take upon anyone, lol! If you're in the same storage place (it does looks like it) and you want a hand let me know. I'm 5-7 minutes from there.

    2019 AR240 Audio upgrade

    I didn't do anything fancy, just ran 1 remote wire from the head-unit split off to the two amps and everything works fine.

    Anclote Sand Bar

    I missed the boating piece before in #6. I was wondering if the public docks where open as I believe some are not considered "parks".

    Solar Power Charging Solution - My Build / Thoughts?

    I did build it and so far it works pretty well. I've been using it on and off for maybe the past 3 months and so far it's done what it's supposed to do. I'm not sure yet if it's having any negative effect on my new G31 AGM's as I've heard some solar controls can sometimes crap out and destroy...

    Anybody in Tampa willing to take a look at a used SX230HO with me?

    I live nearby Town N Country in the Westchase area. If I can be of help let me know, just need a little bit of notice and I should be able to help out. I'm not an expert on these boats having only owned our AR240 for a little over a year but I've done the majority of the work on mine and if...
