    Yamaha surf wake wedge reveal!!! Warning pic heavy

    I was getting excited right up until the 800 on the swim deck, but that wave looks great! I could almost bear getting the wedge if there was a ballast solution that didn't involved any exposed bags. Has anyone managed that yet and if so what did you do? I've been looking to move into a surf...

    2018 yamaha 242 limited s e series release?

    I'm hoping they address the surf issue as well. We've had our 242 LS for a couple years now and it's been a great choice for us. However a friend of ours recently got a Malibu 22 footer that we can surf ropeless behind and it's got us thinking of making the jump to a more surf dedicated boat...

    Ramp N Clamp

    That's right. I bought mine right around the time that came to light and the seller gave me a full refund. He said he was working on a compatible design for 242's but I guess he never found a solution.

    How much debris is bad?

    It really depends on how it gets sucked up as much as what it is. My lone issue with debris hosing the impeller was when a relatively small chunk of wood got lodged in there. It was maybe a 1" x 0.5" piece of a branch. But it got wedged in there just right and locked up the impeller. We...

    Ramp and clamp or boat buddy 2 or just the strap?

    The RNC a year or so ago would tear up the 24 footers, I returned mine before it happened but it was well documented on here somewhere. I haven't checked if there has been a new design since.

    Bimini Top Replacement

    I had this problem as well, the cover got loose and both it and the bimini flapped in the wind for a bit, tearing it up pretty good. I ended up taking the cover to an auto-upholstery place who fixed it up. Then I ordered a new bimini online somewhere. What I have done since is to use...

    Financing process

    Went through almost same thing, same drive, bought used from private seller and used USAA. My seller didn't want to release the boat until he had the funds in his bank account (his loan paid off) so there was a bit of trust on my part. I had the place he bought it new do the marine survey, and...

    Proper Fender Line Knot

    Fender grips have reduced my docking stress quite a bit and anyone, kids, wife and friends, can use them... http://www.fendergrip.com/ Amazon had them for around $16 when I ordered them.

    The Perfect Pass Thread

    Thanks for that tip. I only have about 1mm of adjustment with the L bracket in the default position and I haven't tested on the water yet.

    The Perfect Pass Thread

    I installed my Perfect Pass today and have a question about default position of the servo and throttle. I think I have mine wrong and want to confirm. When I fired up the perfect pass it roped in the L bracket to the home position which leaves my throttle slightly open. I assume I don't want...

    Who wants Swim Platform Table Mount Covers ?

    Crap, that's what caused those marks? They just appeared one sunny day while I was cleaning and doing some maintenance on the boat in my driveway. I thought I put something down too hard or one of the kids didn't take shoes off.

    Buyer BEWARE

    Had a similar experience, dealer in my area quoted $10k over MSRP for a 2015 242 LS.
