    Yamaha Jet boat service in Michigan???

    Yes i have been there a few times. There is not too many in the area that will touch Yamaha Jet Boats. They seemed to have a lot of experience and knowledge. I cannot speak on their winterization and routine maintenance processes, but i assume that can easily be handled.

    trouble loading boat onto trailer

    If your bow is lower than the roller, your trailer is in too deep. You want to have some of the front of the bunks of the trailer just out of the water. Splash a bit of water of the bunks prior to winching up.

    Help needed 2003 lx210 urgent

    I have heard a lot of bad things about SBT rebuilds. Its preference i suppose; personally i would never purchase and use one. They use a lot of Chinese parts and have a lousy reputation. I would want a receipt of the parts that were used and who rebuilt them.

    Yamaha LX210 / LS2000 - Replacing Tach, Speedo and Voltage Gauges

    When i owned my LS2000 one of the first things i did was replace the gauges. Neither tach worked and the speedo was glitchy. I replaced them with Faria Tachs/Speedo. It was very nice that the Tachs had built in hour meters that only counted when the engines were running; considering the...

    Boat Cover

    I ended up purchasing the classic accessories. I really like their warranty and the product seemed to be a great fit. The price was just over $100 so I couldn’t beat it. Unfortunately the day I decided to buy a cover was also the day I decided the sell the boat. I didn’t anticipate the boat to...

    Hi, need help.. one of the reverse cable works forward only

    i know from experience that if the cable has any type of kink in it or if broken at all, it will cause that similar issue. Sounds like the cable/cables need to be replaced. If so teleflex makes the exact length cables for significantly cheaper than OEM.
