    2018 Chaparral Vortex VRX 2430 engine won't turn over

    We love it...it is a 2017 and we bought it in 2018 so got a pretty good deal on it. Knock on wood I have not had any big issues with it, just now dealing with a bad sensor but the boat will run until I can swap it or I get it replaced under warranty. I got mine in Fort Meyers so living in Miami...

    Code p0340

    Wonder if I can run the boat with this code active...I checked the relays and connector and all looked ok. The engine starts fine but may take 2 or 3 times to start but it runs...just want to know if it is a serious thing or if it is ok to run until I can get it swapped out...

    243 Porta potty question.... Odd!

    I have the pump out on my 2430 VRX and have actually never "used" it as of yet, only #1 thus far from the females. Just disconnect and dump... I feel it is a good thing to have if "things" other than #1 of my self or wife do to get rid of...Kinda gross I agree but it is a good feature that if...

    New 2430 VR/VRX - Actual Price/Invoice Price?

    I bought my 2017 2430 VRX in Nov of last year so they wanted to really get rid of it (67K out the door). The dealer is amazing with all the work they have done and will do for me. I have a completely new 2019 interior, all new speakers and AMP, they will do the first 2 services for me at no...

    2019 Yamaha ar242x questions

    From what I was told by the dealer, mine was related to the ECU failing at WOT running and causing the injectors to dump too much fuel into the engine causing a # 3 cylinder failure which cracked the block which meant new engine...Not sure but after replacing the engine and both ECUs i was not a...

    it is very hard to do...I did it one time on my old AR230 and that was enough for me...You need to hang on for dear life...

    Installed Thrust Vectors

    Agreed the backing up thing threw me off at first but now its normal for me...No I have not spun out yet...I am not a wild and crazy driver, just like to cruise along and enjoy the scenery...

    Installed Thrust Vectors

    No sir...I like the real feel of the boat and how it operates at slow speeds...I have been driving jet boats for 20 years so I am very comfortable at slow speeds...The Vortex and BRP engines took some getting used to but now its all good.

    Florida keys

    I looked it up on the website and it doesn't look too bad for the cost ($300 per night)...especially if you can dock your boat there! I did not see where is showed the docking was an option so I figured you need to request that before booking correct? The apartments/condos look nice and if you...
