    2018 AR240 Drain Plug Leak

    Does anyone else have a leaky drain plug? Bought my 2018 AR240 brand new last June. One of the few things I dislike about this boat, compared to my previous 2010 SX240, is the crappy, cheap drain plug. I've replaced the plug itself 3 times hoping is was a washer issue or something simple...

    Best way to clean ar240 seats??

    Starbrite makes a great product. But be careful with the Mold & Mildew spray. Use it sparingly as it is harsh and will eventually eat through the stitching and vinyl.

    212 Limited S vs AR 240

    I'd go with the AR240. That extra space does make a big difference and makes for a better ride. The problem with wet storage on jet boats is that the engines lay horizontal unlike outboard engines that remain vertical. So the water is always sitting inside the engine which accelerates the...

    RGB LEDs installed on 2018 AR240

    I finally installed my RGB courtesy lighting. I left the original 4 whited LEDs in place for now. The new RGB LEDs are from a company called Shadow Caster. I found them for $30 each on Amazon, very nice quality. In installed a total of 8 of these lights, including the two in the wet lockers...

    Any videos of Soundown kit installation?

    Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. But I did take the engine hood completely off the boat to work on it. Don't attempt to do it with the hood attached. But the hood is heavy and tricky to remove and reinstall. Now that I have the 2018 model I can see where they made the sound...

    Any videos of Soundown kit installation?

    If its not too late, save your money! I bought and installed the kit on my 2010 SX240. A major hassell to install and it didnt make an ounce of difference in the sound volume. I was extremely disappointed. I recently traded in the SX240 for a 2018 model and couldnt be happier. The sound...

    Where to mount underwater LEDs on a 2018 240 or 242

    Greetings, I just about got my new AR240 tweaked the way I like it. Next on my list is to install underwater LED(s). It was super easy to install on my 2010 SX240, right in the center above the drain plug. But the new hull design is not as clear cut for me. Anyone have underwater LEDs...

    RPM Sync with Cruise Assist?

    Im surprised no one replied to your question yet. The Cruise Assist does not automatically sync your engines/rpms. I get up to the speed I want and manually get the throttles/rpms as close as possible to match, then hit Cruise Assist. If the rpms are off enough to create the annoying...

    New 2018 AR 240 - Few questions...

    Greetings folks. I finally sold my 2010 SX240 that I bought new in 2010. Loved the boat but got tired of the loud engine noise. I just bought a 2018 AR240 and absolutely love it. They have dramatically reduced the engine noise and made all sorts of improvements in fit & finish. Few...

    Best way to clean ar240 seats??

    I've been using Spray 9 in my 2010 SX240 since buying the boat new in 2010, works great. I just bought my new 2018 AR240 and will continue to use Spray 9

    Yamaha 242 docking lights

    Hello Folks. I just picked up my 2018 AR240, SUPER SWEET. I had a 2010 SX240 and loved it, but the new models are amazing. I want to put docking lights on, like the Limited's have. But I don't want to pay Yamaha prices, $226.12 for the pair. Anyone know if there's an aftermarket light...
