    Engine RPM Significant Issue

    Coil issue isn’t something I considered. Can’t be a single bad plug, the engine runs smooth as silk at 6,000 rpm. Could a bad coil explain why it suddenly ran normal for 15 minutes then after starting and stopping the engines it went back to only 6,000 the rest of the day? I don’t know when...

    Engine RPM Significant Issue

    Thanks. I will use the Sea Foam and change the plugs. Since the throttles are fly by wire, is there some kind of motor in the fuel rail that determines how much fuel to apply to the injectors? When the engine surprised my by revving to normal RMP for an extended run it seemed like something...

    Engine RPM Significant Issue

    So I just spent the last hour and half searching the threads to find something on my issue with no luck. So here goes: I’m really frustrated with the intermittent port engine performance on my 2013 242 Limited. Max RPM on the Starboard engine can hit 7,500 at a lake elevation of about 1,300...

    TR-1 Max RPM's

    I know this thread is 18 months old, but I’m really frustrated with the intermittent port engine performance on my 2013 242 Limited. Max RPM on the Starboard engine can hit 7,500 at a lake elevation of about 1,300 feet. The port engine can only produce 6,000 RPM. Yes the cables are properly...

    Will would know best, but that looks like a bigger gap then I remember.

    This is my 3rd installation of TV's on 2 boats. The TVW is by far the hardest to get the bushing lined up right. And you have springs now on both sides. I think the springs, bushings, standoff and bolts are universal. So if it worked on mine is should work on yours. The metal stand off...

    The bushings and spring definitely don’t look right. I’d say you didn’t get them lined up right before tightening.

    New SeaDek, New Stoltz Roller, Swim Platform Umbrella, Torn Sunroof, Engine Fault... oh my!

    Check out this thread for the correct Stoltz bow stop for the new boats. I did a lot of research before coming up with this solution. More contact with the bow. https://jetboaters.net/threads/boat-trailer-bow-roller-scratches.18961/#post-327163

    242 two way radio mounting location

    Even on an older 2014 this seems to be the mounting location. Get’s it high up for longer transmission distances.

    Not today. The boat is headed Wednesday for a week on Lake Powell (AZ and UT).

    JetBoatPilot's New Surf Tech, Thrust Vector Wake

    Done. I’m excited to try it out. A little grinding on the stops allowed the steering yoke nut to attach just fine. I recommend at grinding stone in a drill over the Dremel. I tried both. The clearances are a little tight and depending on the tolerances of the pump housing and installation of...

    Battle is a little strong. This 61 year old man spent more time reviewing the install video than I did working on the install. This new TVW is such a major leap forward In technology I wanted to make sure I did it right. I don’t mind at all sharing my experience which may not be typical. I...

    JetBoatPilot's New Surf Tech, Thrust Vector Wake

    I’ve put about 4 hours into the install. Those that think you’re going to do this in the parking lot at the lake, think again. Will I ran into three problems, I’m solving as I go. All 3 have to do with the stop brackets. 1). The aluminum molds for the pump housing don’t seem to be created...

    Will, I received my kit Friday. Thank you. Last night I assembled the ladder Jetwash deflector system. Today I’m installing the TVW’s. Just a couple observations on the Jetwash Deflector. 1) The two outside punched holes for the handle assembly at the top of the deflector were about 1/16” to...

    Just got my shipping confirmation, but UPS it's going to take 8 days to deliver. Unfortunate since I'm leaving for a one week lake trip early in the morning of the anticipated delivery. Called and talked to Kim and she interrupted my order fulfillment and allowed me to pay for expedited...

    Ideal placement for trailer guides?

    Ditto, but also make sure your cleats are fully pushed in. The middle ones can also tear up the guide covers. MidNight Rider has the perfect placement in his photo above.

    Need advice on buying a 2005 SX230

    I had a 2005 non-HO until early last year. If you're not at sea level and it's not an HO your not going to ever see the advertised RPM and speeds. Elevation matters a lot with these older engines (and the new ones). It should do better than 8,000 RPM, but I doubt you will ever see 10k out of...

    Thrust Vector Wake Dry Tube Ride Video

    Just remember, I have a family Lake Powell trip coming up after Memorial day. My Yamaha wants to be wearing the new TV's.

    JetBoatPilot's New Surf Tech, Thrust Vector Wake

    I placed an order in December and my confidence continues to grow seeing all the enhancements as they get closer to serious testing and production. All the talk about surfing is interesting, but all I care about is cleaning up the wake for tubers and wake boarding, I'm guessing I'm part of a...
