    HydroDeck?

    I will say that the service I've received from JetBoatPilot has been fantastic. If I ever have to replace my SeaDek, I wouldn't hesitate going back to them.

    2014 242 Limited S Helm storage door opening measurement

    Hi, my boat's in a slip about 200 miles away and I'm trying to figure out how wide the door opening for the helm storage is. If anyone's boat is handy, could you please measure that for me? I think it would be the same for 240s and 242s from 2010 to 2015 or so. Thanks! :winkingthumbsup"

    Stereo Free OEM Clarion stereo and transom remote

    I replaced the OEM Clarion stereo in my 2014 242 Limited S this season. The original is in good condition as is the transom remote. It was supposed to have Bluetooth, but I could never get it to work. If anyone wants it you can have it. Located in Cincinnati, OH if you want to pick it up...

    Moldy Yamaha Exciter cleanup

    I have to wipe down and Hot Sauce my boat every time I take it out of the water. I can't believe that they could get this boat back as well as they did. I found this oddly satisfying: Exciter barn find

    Need long term review of SeaDek vs carpet

    Now 6 years in with my SeaDek and it's still looks great. The area that gets the most traffic may look slightly dull as compared to new, but very slightly. I have one very small mat that has a 3/8" split on the edge, which i plan to replace, all others are perfect still. I had the boat...

    Yamaha Boat Loans Sold From Synchrony to Yamaha Motor Finance

    Did anyone else not get a statement for May from Yamaha Motor Finance Corporation? I'm somewhat anal about my finances and didn't get a May statement. I emailed via the Contact Us page with no reply. I then called and asked for a May statement and was told, you can go online and see your...

    Why is yamahajetboaters the only one offered?

    Whenever I get these surveys I know they have a specific data set the they think is important, but I always feel like they're asking the wrong questions and not giving the right options for the answers. I've stopped doing them because of this.

    Yamaha Boat Loans Sold From Synchrony to Yamaha Motor Finance

    By paying ahead, you're paying down the principal balance, which the interest is calculated on. If you keep making payments every month and pay more than your monthly payment, you'll pay off your loan faster, and will pay much less interest.

    Yamaha Boat Loans Sold From Synchrony to Yamaha Motor Finance

    Got the letter from Yamaha Financial and couldn't log in trying the methods that were in the letter, turns out they had the last digit of my account number on the original letter. I was on hold for two hours, but they were very helpful, and apologized for the wait. Funny thing is that the...

    Jetting on a river

    @jdkaeser Launch ramps depend on where you live. Check out the link below. I've only used Schmidt ramp, it's a nice ramp, $10 to launch, and has a big parking lot for your tow vehicle and trailer. The ramp in New Richmond looks like it's a nice ramp, but the parking situation is not as good...

    What negative comments have prop boaters made about your jet boat

    I don't get any negative comments. Mostly questions about how I like the jet drive, and positive "nice boat" comments. The only time I've heard negative comments like the OP have been at the boat shows from other dealer's salesmen! I find in general that boaters are a great community that are...

    Jetting on a river

    Downstream from you as well in Cincinnati. I boat almost every weekend on the Ohio, and after rains there can be a lot of debris, but I don't have too many problems. I've gotten pretty good at playing dodge the debris, and I've only sucked up less than a handful of sticks in the last five...

    Need new Bimini for 2011 242 Limited S

    I recently had a new Bimini made locally. He didn't like the design with the zippers on the flaps in the front, so he added snaps to the wakeboard tower and the back part of the frame. It also is a little wider and comes down a few inches more on the sides. He also added zippers to take it...

    Traction Mats/Decking

    I took the Hydroturf off of my swim deck and a couple of other small areas a few years ago. The Hydroturf tears easily but I was able to it off in fairly large chunks. I used a plastic scraper to get under the mats then slowly peeled them up. I did mine on a hot day and it worked okay. There...
