    Shorlandr trailer brake caliper replacement

    I'm hoping it isn't too bad. Never been in salt water. @Neutron Do you know if the assembly can be rotated far enough by just removing the upper bolt?

    Shorlandr trailer brake caliper replacement

    Was inspecting my trailer yesterday, in prep for 2-3 hr haul for the weekend. The port side brakes are dragging a little. I don't have time for a replacement before tomorrow, but it will need to be done soon. Pretty decent amount of scoring on the rotor. Probably been dragging for a while, but I...

    Show Us Your Wake! (surfing mods comparo)

    Before I buy more ballast ... anyone tried the transom bag centered on the platform? Half my family (and regular crew) surfs goofy, and I don't want to spend all day dealing with the 800lb gorilla. We are getting a *decent* wave with the factory locker bag 50%-75%, surf side rear bag 100%, other...

    @JasonSchoenrock have you had a chance to get in the water and surf yet?

    Testing the new wake booster

    What dealer did you get the wakebooster from? I'm in Raleigh and my *local dealer tried to tell me that Yamaha decided not to go into production.

    oil leak + mystery part- 1.8l 2017 242x

    Update: looks like oil is coming from oil tube / union (banjo) bolt feeding the chain tensioner assembly. Was able to tighten one of the bolts a little. Everything else was tight, but I am still getting some leakage after running for a few hours. My guess is one of the gaskets is shot or has...

    2019 Release coming soon!

    Any pics showing how it’s installed? Or can you describe it?from the pics I’ve seen, I can’t tell exactly how it attaches. Glad you found it impressive. I have high hopes for it.

    oil leak + mystery part- 1.8l 2017 242x

    Got a pic today and it's a plug ... Doesn't appear in any of the engine diagrams I have seen though. It's also smashed up against the compartment floor, so I'm not sure how possible it will be to tighten it.

    oil leak + mystery part- 1.8l 2017 242x

    So we have had this boat for just about 1 year. Since new, I would occasionally see a really small amount of oil in the bilge area. I asked the dealer to check it out at end of season last year and they said they did not find any cause / leak. Recently the amount of oil I am seeing has increased...

    SurfPointe

    @Scuba_ref - I was thinking about trying a fender to clean up the jet wash as well. Any pics of your setup? What size fender? I was thinking about trying a 12x34 with the hole through the middle, assuming it would be easier to adjust its position.
