    Water flowing up from under the swim deck hatch while underway

    What kind of weather stripping are you using. I’m facing the same issue and am trying to come up with a good workaround.

    '17 FSH190 Deluxe No-wake mode/cruise assist not decreasing

    Ended up wiggling the wires under the console and it seemed to resolve the issue.

    '17 FSH190 Deluxe No-wake mode/cruise assist not decreasing

    The toggle button doesn't seem to want to decrease speed/rpm when depressed. Anyone else run into this and if so, was there a resolution that can be done at home without going to the dealer? thanks ahead of time. Matt

    FSH Windscreen not quite fitting

    Got s a replacement windscreen for my 2017 FSH Deluxe. The port side of the windscreen doesn’t seem to have enough bend in the angle between the front and the port side windscreen. The result is that the windscreen latch housing has been pulled out of the console by the tension of the...

    Hull Damage is it warranty work?

    Yes it did. I ended up getting a gel coat paste and filling it in myself. Not a perfect job but definitely functional.

    Cleat came off on port rear of my fsh 190.

    Update. Got my skinny son to fix the original loose cleat. This weekend the port side mid cleat was loose. Got it tightened up by sanding on my head shimmied up under the forward port hatch. What a pain in the ass. Yamaha, for future boats, put the cleats in a more accessible place...

    Cleat came off on port rear of my fsh 190.

    Thanks, this is on my chore list for tomorrow. I'm trying to figure alternate ways to get under there as the FSH doesn't have that kind of access. I think if I had a two-year old it might work but that in itself is way more problematic. cheers. matt

    Cleat came off on port rear of my fsh 190.

    I have a few questions about the great "cleat Operation".... 1. do you recall the size of the nuts that they use? 2. I suspect I'll need an extension and rachet to get them tight. 3. under the hatch where the clean out port is, there is a white drain, any idea how to disconnect this...

    Cleat came off on port rear of my fsh 190.

    Grabbed the cleat the other day and it came up in my hand as I heard the hardware fall inside the hull. Seems to me that this is the kind of thing that shouldn’t ever happen. Anyone had to deal with this? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance

    Hull Damage is it warranty work?

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be under the boat this weekend looking around. I appreciate the help.

    Hull Damage is it warranty work?

    Quick question... I either ran up on an oyster bar or cross loaded on the trailer but one of the steps on the aft - bottom has damage about 12 " long. In some spots it looks like the gelcoat was pushed in a wee bit so there is a circular/oval indent and crack on two other spots there is an...

    The whole latch housing loose.

    Thanks. I guess I’ll give it a shot.

    The whole latch housing loose.

    2017 FSH Deluxe. The whole latch housing is loose on the bait well. Took a look at it appears to be PVC and the “nut” on the underside looked to have blue bonding agent or perhaps blue loctite. Can I tighten these without breaking something and how to keep them from loosening again? Thanks...

    Which battery to choose

    Hello all. I’ve got a 2017 fsh deluxe. The starter battery is not holding a charge any more. Any suggestions on what to replace it with? Send me links to batteries that are good. Thanks Matt

    FSH 190 Anchor locker hinge screws ripped out.

    Hey need a little help. Took a wake without the anchor being secured in the anchor locker so when I took the wake, it jumped up, impacted the hatch and stripped out two of the hinge screws inside the locker. I have the screws, they are similar to sheet metal screws but there was a backing on...

    Launch and recovery

    OK, I’ll try the low tech solution first, silicon or pledge first before I more drastic things. How about bunk slicks, opinions?

    Getting the boat off the trailer

    I live in FL and the ramps here are typically shallow which makes it difficult to launch and sometimes recover unless you have half your vehicle in the water as well. Should I modify the trailer boards or soap them up or what? Thanks ahead of time Matt

    What is the diameter of the washout drain on 2017 FSH?

    So the drain that goes from the clean out comes out on the starboard side of the area where the nozzle exits the stern. One other owner snaked the transceiver cable through this exit port then put a t- connector inline to the drain hose. This allows the drain to remain intact albeit with a...

    What is the diameter of the washout drain on 2017 FSH?

    Hi all, I’m going to try to use the cleanout drain as an entry point for my x-ducer cable. Of course I’ll need to splice a “Y” or “T” connector on the drain hose. Hence the question regarding the diameter. Any help is appreciated and the boat is not easily accessed to check for myself...
