    2015 SX190 - Dashboard out

    SIGH..... i have 2014 sx 190 and at about 100 hours my gauges stopped working. After checking every fuse, every electrical connection, saying every cuss word, i finally took it to a dealer. He said these gauges are somewhat known for condensating on the inside. Thats what happened to mine. I...

    Purchased a 2018 AR190 and now im concerned...

    Welcome Mister... At this point it is what it is because you own it. 1. The fire extinguisher is missing. (see picture) I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, ONE BENEATH PASSENGER REAR SEAT AND ONE LARGE COMPARTMENT IN FRONT OF PASSENGER 2. The carpet under the bench seat is...

    Ar195 bow subwoofer enclosure

    i totally agree about overkill.... but is it?? [flag] actually i am the only one in the family that enjoys my music loud. I would want the rear seat speakers so the cabin volume didn't have to be so loud. I would also want to add an inline volume control. I am still digging the box you built...

    Ar195 bow subwoofer enclosure

    well it definitely looks awesome and i have never thought about that location! Sorry the output wasn't what you were expecting but it seems legit! out of curiosity... do you think you might have too high expectation? I would assume that it did add some much needed lower thump and for somebody...

    speakers behind the cushions on the swim deck?

    i like the idea of the speakers mounted behind the swim deck cushions... i was worried about the sound being muffled... do you lose tonal quality or does it sound pretty decent?

    AR190 top speed question

    I have a stock 2014 SX190 and normally we max out about 43/44mph per the guage. My teenager and I hit 46 mph a couple weeks ago and that's the fastest i have ever noticed. Half tank of gas, no wind, lake was glass. However, my wife and daughter went out by themselves a couple weekends ago and...

    Snap-on cover vs. Mooring cover

    i have towed with and without the 'towing' cover... i don't believe i have seen any 'buffing' abrasions. also regarding cushions flying out... i mostly tow my boat without a cover because of the greater visibility and i haven't lost a cushion. And i am bummed on the mixed reviews regarding...

    Snap-on cover vs. Mooring cover

    i can't believe there has only been three comments on this thread.... well i am bringing it back up for conversation. This is our 3rd summer with our 2014 sx190. Past two years i have kept it in an enclosed storage unit (with a fan blowing 24/7) about 5 minutes from the boat dock. During the...

    What do you tow your 190 with?

    The Jeep/Yammie combination looks freakishly awesome! Great color scheme on both. i see your comment about the lift/tire size/ & bags... is the motor stock? Auto/Manual? What gear ratio? How does it pull and stop the boat? I have a full size silverado that is used as the family Truckster...

    2014 SX190 upgrades

    if your battery is in good working order and receiving full charge you could do some calculations about AmpHours supplied by battery vs AmpHours draw of your stereo/amp. However to keep it simple, if you store the boat at home simply turn on the radio in the driveway/garage and let it play...

    Bow Filler

    Thanks for the response. I have the 2014 SX190.... I can definitely see the benefit of adding that filler cushion!

    Bow Filler

    @RiverRat - hey buddy, regarding the bow filler cushion you ordered... the picture looks like it has a slightly lower profile. Is that an illusion or is your center bow cushion lower than the original bow seat cushions?

    Swim deck speakers for SX192/SX190

    Can you attach photos??

    Swim deck speakers for SX192/SX190

    agreed. I have seen some photos of people installing them on the lower level and that is simply out of the question for me. Way to close to the water and without a doubt create issue in the future. More than likely the option is going to be to simply upgrade the four stock 6.5's and add maybe...

    Swim deck speakers for SX192/SX190

    @Drift Away did you do this on a 19'? your profile says you have a 24' boat. Do you have pictures? I too am still debating on where/how to install speakers on the swim deck.

    SX190/AR190/SX192/AR192 Stereo Upgrade

    Speaking of adding speakers to the rear/aft/transom whatever you want to call it... I noticed that the 2x212 has a smaller backrest with the speakers mounted in the corner of the seat... Anyone know if the sx212 seat would fit on our 190 boats? if they fit, then we can have rear facing...

    Condensation in the RPM gauge

    Hey guys... i have 2014 SX190 and although i didn't have moisture issue, my guages went out completely. Luckily they were still under warranty but the Yamaha tech said it is common that the gauges collect moisture and when they do they tend to go bad. If it wasn't for the warranty it would...
