    2006 sx210 color

    It appears that you have a 230? I have a 210 and the colors may be different in that case. Either way, holding my phone up to the boat the closest color was bright blue. Like I said, when I got the patch kit for bright blue it was way off so I wouldn’t trust color matching with a phone. I do not...

    2006 sx210 color

    Mine is a thin scratch about 6 feet long. I’m not too worried about a perfect match right off the bat since I’m planning on wet sanding and buffing the whole boat anyway.

    2006 sx210 color

    I ended up getting a bright blue patch kit and it’s way off. So I call spectrum directly since they supplied the gel for Yamaha and they told me it should be Atlantic blue. Unfortunately the price of a gallon of Atlantic blue is now up to $340 so I’m don’t think I’ll be fixing this scratch...

    SX230 Resurrection

    Great read, will be following this thread for sure. I wonder if the exhaust flow through the pipe to the water box is creating a venturi effect which helps create a low pressure in the water jacket of the exhaust manifold that helps draw the water out, and since you had the pipe to the water box...

    Ridesteady v1.03 upgrade fulltime engine sync completed

    So with this upgrade you can essentially use one throttle to control both engines? I ride in a bunch of chop most of the time in the upper chesapeake bay and making small adjustments is pretty difficult. In my buddies pontoon boat I find myself bracing the butt of my hand on the base of the...

    2006 sx210 color

    I've been having a problem trying to find a spectrum patch kit to match my boat. According to spectrum the blue that was used in 2006 was Atlantic blue, which they only offer in gallon sizes and no patch kit, but when I look at the color on my phone compared to my boat it’s much to purple. If I...

    Port engine does not start... help!

    My guess would be something stuck in the impeller or something it bound up with the impeller. Reason being, they way when the starter kicks the engine touques and stays torqued until you let go of the switch. This tells me that the crank shaft/rods/pistons have the ability to move by them self’s...

    Putting black mooring cover on overnight if no rain? Condensation? Need opinions

    I have an 2006 sx210 that has been covered for its entire life, with no condensation in the gauges. I put it on more for keeping the sun from beating up the interior, plus the dryer I can keep the interior when not in the water the better.

    Intake Cooling Line Valves - Good or Bad?

    Be careful with these, I have a similar product at work and have had them leak on me (literally, on my head) when I’ve used the wrong size when pinching off radiator hoses and heater core hoses. The problem is they have a small space between the jaws to keep from pinching the hose too much, but...

    Cup holders: first mod fail

    Did the same thing with mine but used electrical tape instead. It's more expensive than painters tape but holds up to water better. I'm a mechanic and use electrical tape in place of medical tape when I cut myself, will last all day through washing hands and whatnot.

    thrust vector spray and turning ability

    You'd have to completely redesign the engine to make it spin the opposite direction. Basically mirror the entire thing due to which side of the chain will have tension and what not. The cams would have to be different because of the firing order. I would imagine it would be totally cost...

    What does the last number in the model mean?

    Just like the title says, what does the last number in the model mean? Like why do 212x's have a 2 instead of a 0? What's the difference between a 195 and 192? Just curious, thanks!!

    Clean out plugs hard to get through swim platform hole, and new guy introduction.

    I just removed the try and cut off the bottom of the holes, about 1/2-3/4", plugs fall right through now. It looks as though someone had been in there before because the sealant between the tube and the tray wasn't adheared at all. I still have about 1 inch of contact between the top of the tube...

    Clean out plugs hard to get through swim platform hole, and new guy introduction.

    I'm not sure a rebuild kit will do it for me, today I took the top half of the plugs off and not even the portion with the locks, without the seal, fit through the hole without deflecting it at least a little bit. And I just realized the last time I pulled out I must have torn the hole in the...

    Clean out plugs hard to get through swim platform hole, and new guy introduction.

    Hey all, new to this sight and new to boats in general. We'll sort of, my friends have a boat and they don't really like to pilot it so whenever we're out they have me take the helm, so I'm pretty comfortable behinds the wheel. I never owned a boat before, and now that my finances finally allow...
