    Boat Registration - where to place it on 2019 Blue 242X-E?

    I went above the rub rail because most docks in our area, if you went below, it would rub and/or tear the registration numbers. Papa

    Trailer parking fail!

    Our other lake house had a community ramp 2 lots over and we could sit on our dock on Friday afternoons and Sunday afternoons and have a ball. The best was when a jet ski backed down with a jeep. They backed in and unhooked the trailer strap. How ever the rear straps were still attached. Ski was...

    Water not draining from Head Compartment

    Just a guess, but if its used as a "head" the powers that be do not want the waste to be able to make it to the water you are boating on.

    OMG - can someone PLEEEEEEEASE....

    Our lake looked like Memorial day weekend this past weekend. Most from metro Atlanta. The hot spot for the virus in our state. Stores and gas stations were swamped. The problem, we only had 2 cases in our county. They increased our chances exponentially. Not a happy camper. Wish they would shut...

    I'm that guy now. However the new twist-lock cords are for safety for you and your family and others at the dock. It's a good thing. Papa

    Replacing a broken shift gate cable??

    You can cross reference the cable number off the old one and get it cheaper than from Yamaha. Can't access the file on my old computer to see who I ordered from, but saved a boat load of $. Pun intended. Papa

    Major engine problem

    I'm late to this party, but another thing to change since your elbow deep into this is the fuel lines. If they are original to the boat they will not be the lines for E10 fuel. I had this same problem with my 05 SX230. Mine was so bad I had to have the injectors put in an ultra sound tank over...

    Boat lift... Bunker Spacing...

    I set mine up according to the trailer widths. Did a few slight adjustments on the rear spacing. I believe I narrowed the rear opening based on measurement on the flat area. Papa
