    Swapped out Thrust Vector XV for Cobrajet fins...opinions

    Other things to consider: CJ steering is fixed and ridgid. Impact something and you are likely to run into issues. TV are flexible and retracting so that is a plus. However if you are backed into a cove and they make contact they will bend (ask me how I know). But they are fairly easy to...

    Swapped out Thrust Vector XV for Cobrajet fins...opinions

    I originally had the Thrust Vector XV and those were a definite improvement over stock. But I did not care for the spray under way and actually wanted something that would stay in the water at speed. The 19 foot SX192 is a MESS while under way at any speed. Straight line tracking is terrible in...

    Jumper the Clean-Out Hatch Switch???

    I havent looked at the plug in my boat yet but you should be able to figure out the pins by looking at that picture. On either side there are two keyways and on the top should be the clip. If you orient it exactly as the picture shows, looking directly at it, you should be able to identify...

    Jumper the Clean-Out Hatch Switch???

    LOL...You would probably just lose your key. Anyways...what i posted above is just to be a Devils Advocate. We all assess risks and have differing capabilities. I have a tractor that has every safety on it defeated. I assess the risk and decided its ok for me to operate. But I never let anyone...

    Jumper the Clean-Out Hatch Switch???

    I still think, even when you describe your event above, that defeating this safety interlock it is not justified. Regarding your event above why wouldnt you simply ensure the hatch is fully closed and latches engaged each time and the switch adjusted properly? You should be doing this anyways as...

    If the oil level on the dipstick was fine your likely to be ok. Hoping for a good outcome.

    Dual 2.1 amp usb and voltmeter combo (in one cigar lighter sized housing)

    Finally got around to installing the one I got from Amazon. I got this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DVTQ46A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But I added a switch instead of the cigarette plug. The volt meter monitors the house battery. That way I can monitor the house...

    Common Ground

    For future installations you can install a power distribution/fuse block with ground buss. Once installed they really come in handy to hook up various things. You could even install one in a fwd compartment and one in the engine compartment if needed. Basically run a fused wire from the...

    Anyone installed a boost gauge and AFR gauge in their 192/195?

    In the second picture you can see the yellow semi-clear hose with the small brass fitting going into the large black duct that is between the charger exit and intercooler inlet. This is where the stock fogging line was. The fogging port was originally mounted to the engine cover where the gauge...

    Anyone installed a boost gauge and AFR gauge in their 192/195?

    I just got a cheap gauge and installed it using the fogging hoses as well as the location in the cover where the fogging fitting was mounted. I Only wanted ot to occasionally monitor boost level or to help troubleshoot in case I lost power to atleast be able to check that I am getting 5.5-6 psi...

    2016 Yamaha AR190 Dual Battery Install -- How to isolate Factory Stereo Power to New House Battery?

    Look for the fuse holder near the battery. On mine this powered everything other than starter, engine management and the main gauges. Just take that terminal going to the fuse and put it on the new 2nd battery positive terminal. I tested mine to be sure it was correct. With that fused terminal...

    What anchors are you guys using?

    Michael you are right to point out deficiencies with the test. There are many factors that affect real world performance. I am sure the box is much better than the video test indicates, especially at higher angles and softer bottoms. But I will say the net is filled with demos of the...

    Dual 2.1 amp usb and voltmeter combo (in one cigar lighter sized housing)

    Thanks for posting. They sell various configurations. I got the one with the voltmeter, usb, power plug and then added a matching switch. I plan to shut the panel down when not in use.

    Triangular GPS plug on Yamaha boats

    On my 2013 SX190 it comes off the 20 amp fuse holder near the battery. It is not on the ignition but it is on the main batt on/off switch. I have since added a second battery with an automatic voltage sensing relay so the 20 AMP fuse has been moved to the second battery. I will be adding a...

    SVHO intercooler swap results

    Thats great. I recently did the same mod plus ribbon delete and saw 49. I was at 43 prior to that. The SVHO intercooler is a no brainer IMO.
