    New shipping covers for sale!!!

    I’ll try to. Long and short it’s a new factory cover. I had to adjust it a little bet to get it to secure well. Some of the straps weren’t quite long enough. Other wise fits great. If they are still available I’d just get one it’s such a good deal.

    Broken Captains Chair

    I got a new height adjustable pedestal. Which is makes it taller at its lowest point than the old seat. Wise 8WP21-374 Adjustable...

    Dealership said dual battery set up will mess up my boat?????

    That’s how blue seas has you wire the system. The diagram I linked was mainly to show what new wires you need to cut, but matches up with the wiring instructions for blue seas. I believe it has to do with their switch which is voltage gated, but users smarter than I may be able to explain it...

    Dealership said dual battery set up will mess up my boat?????

    Upgraded to dual batteries this year and added a fuse box on the house side. I used blue sea’s “add a battery mini” which is perfect for the 190’s and includes a built in A/C charger. The wiring diagram is from another user, and was great for planning out the additional wires you’ll need to...

    SeaDek and your dog

    Our sea deck is a bit tougher than the marine mat that’s on the back deck. However, it sounds like your dog will be too rough on any mat. The booties are a good idea if you can get her to adjust to them. Otherwise loading and unloading the dog will be key.

    Cost to install SeaDek

    If you can, do it yourself. It’s not hard easily done in a weekend, and adds a ton of value to the boat!

    SeaDek and your dog

    Our 70lb lab shepherd mix has put a few marks on the swim deck if he is trying to get up on the swim deck in aided. A dog life vest with a rescue handel makes a world of difference cause I can just lift him straight onto the back deck. Once he’s up there we have no issues.

    First time boat buyer

    I test drove a 180 challenger before settling on our Ar190. Here’s my take as a new boat owner. Avoid supercharged rotax engines. Older models had ceramic washers which, as others mentioned, turn these engines into a ticking time bomb. Newer models solved the problem but still require bearing...

    Fair price for 2013 AR190?

    Yes! Pull the plug. It should come out and go back in easy. If it takes more than 5 seconds to reseat and lock into place it needs to be rebuilt. Mine came out fine but was a pain to put back in 10-30min to re-seat. Just did the rebuild kit ($50) and it works much better. Not the end of the...

    2019 Yamaha 190 Series updates

    Few more notes on 2019 changes (sorry if others may have posted). 1. Garden hose flush is now under the pump clean out hatch and with the new drain cut outs you should be able to keep the hose connected with the hatch closed. This should prevent the usual leakage into the cockpit most of us...

    Fair price for 2013 AR190?

    Stick to your guns and pass on the extended warranty. I saw the charge sheet for our boat and an engine swap runs about $4-5k. Other than a timing chain failure there is little that I would expect to cause a catostrophic failure with our boats. These aren’t rotax super chargers with a 100 hour...
