    No more perfect pass for 2004?

    I tried to get the president of PP to make a few more, or sell me some of the pieces, but it was a no go. Might have to get a ar250 to solve this problem.

    No more perfect pass for 2004?

    Only works with aps systems, maybe 06 and newer? Mine is a 2004 with cable actuated throttle bodies.

    No more perfect pass for 2004?

    Apparently i might have waited too long. It's there any way to buy a speed control for these old school throttle controlled boats? I'll pay whatever.

    Will the yds work with a 2022 ar250

    Will the standard yds work with a new ar250? Is there any other way to read codes? My neighbor just picked one up and it is flashing a check engine light. I'm wondering if my yds will connect. If so, where is the plug located?

    2004 Yamaha sr230 Engine Issues 1 Engine Wont Run.

    It might be worth doing a test at night to see the condition of the spark plugs wires to see if there is arcing. Double check you set the cams on the compression stroke because that can cause backfire for sure.

    2004 Yamaha sr230 Engine Issues 1 Engine Wont Run.

    I'd test the cam sensor. I'm not sure there is a crank sensor, but test that too. That's all that controls the timing. There is a chance a clogged exhaust could cause a back fire. You're not running the house without the engine right? That will fill up the water box and eventually the engine and...

    NOCO 2x2 charger reduced at Amazon

    I recommend using the battery doctor and any single bank float charger. It isolates the aux bank automatically and charges the engine battery fully before charging the aux battery. No switches to forget about and no risk of running the stereo as much as you like. I always forget to set the...

    New jet boat owner 08 AR 230

    I have a 230 and my buddy has one too. He's got huge fins on it and i couldn't even notice a difference driving his, and i have at least a few hours driving his boat. I put lateral thrusters on mine and it made a big difference in reverse control. I highly recommend them. My next mod is perfect...

    How much GPS capability do I really need? Also, looking for recommendations.

    I use us topos on my phone. I downloaded lake powell satellite images and it was great using it to navigate and zoom in on coves. Cost 15 bucks i think and I've been using it for many years. I bought the cheap garmin for my body and it worked great. I track my path up river so i can avoid...

    Lake Powell houseboat advice

    We got a houseboat trip coming up out of wahweap in a week. We're doing 5 or 6 days on a 52' boat with a Yamaha sx230 (buddies) and my fx140 wave runner. Anybody have any advice on cool coves to stay in, tips for towing the boats, or other tips? I'm looking forward to it! Powell is probably the...

    Water In Oil with pictures, looking for opinions

    Drain all the oil. It's super hard to remove milkshake by doing small tank changes. There is a full drain thread and a difficult bolt to get to, but i would start there and add oil until it comes out clean. My boat had low compression and milkshake oil, but they were unrelated. The po probably...

    Water In Oil with pictures, looking for opinions

    Mr1? That happened to mine. 110 is super low compression. I would do a full oil drain and retest compression and do leak down. Pulling the heads in the boat sucks. Like doing a puzzle at the bottom of a trash can. I have a big thread on my mr1 tear down.

    Jgorm's 04 ar230 build

    It's been a while since an update. I got the boat garage enclosed over the winter. New fuel sender works awesome. Bimini top still going strong but more mods for a 3' flip out rear section for the winter. I put a second stereo remote at the helm. The garmin gos plotter is awesome for knowing how...

    JetBoatPilot's New Surf Tech, Thrust Vector Wake

    I've come up with a new way to teach beginners where someone holds the tip of the board while they slide off the back. Most beginners end up nose diving and getting them a few seconds of stability really helps. I tell them to try to lift the nose off the boat while they are getting ready to...
