    2016 195 Impulse Throttle issue...

    Maybe something got stuck in the impeller and then cleared itself? Just a thought.

    2019 FL Keys trip (Hawks Cay Resort)

    I've been to the Keys with my 190. The first big road trip I did after I bought the boat was to Coco Plum resort in Marathon. They had a dock on a canal across the street from the condo and trailer parking. We took the boat off shore to Coffin Patch for snorkeling and it did fine. Also went...

    Engine won't start but does turn over (sort of)

    Mine (SX190) only has one motor. This problem came back and turned out to be the impeller housing had swollen and was preventing the impeller from turning.

    Canal Access Home? Do you still have a trailer? Or store boat at your home?

    We bought a canal house in 2015 and yes, I still have a trailer. We live on the east coast, Merritt Island (Brevard County), and primarily boat in the Banana and Indian River (intercostal). The house is not huge, 1900sf, but it’s open and lives bigger than it is. The lot isn’t huge either, but...

    Engine won't start but does turn over (sort of)

    I posted this while I was looking at the parts diagrams to get a look at the starter. Found where the starter was hidden and went back out the boat, wiggled the connection and solved the problem. If only they were all this easy.

    Engine won't start but does turn over (sort of)

    Boat is a 2014 SX190, when I turn the key, the starter turns the motor a couple times but does not fire. I checked the batteries and both were bad so I replaced them. Still the same result, turn the key and it turns over a two or three times but then stops each time I turn the key. I'm...

    tow vehicle Yamaha AR210

    The Liberty would be fine for a 190, but not the bigger boats. I’ve ridden in a Liberty pulling a 19 footer and it felt like it was near the limit.

    My Pool Build

    We are in contract for a new pool with digging starting later this month. This is my second time having a pool built. I had one built at my old house back in ‘06. I’m using the same pool builder as last time. He’s a small builder who does much of the work in-house vs. subbing everything out. I...

    ? for 190 AR or SX owners

    Did you ever make it to the dealership? For me, it was about purchase price and cost of ownership. I picked up my 2014 SX190 used this past spring. I found one I could pay cash for. The 192s were outside my range. This is my first boat, but I've been boating with a group of boat owning...

    POLL Which Floating lift to get Sunstream,Candock, ......

    I almost went with a Candock. I saw them at the Orlando boat show and then did a lot of research. The price was similar to the $10k you posted. In the end I went with the traditional cable lift on piling since that's what I really wanted. It sounds like that's not an option for you. The...
