    Pre owned boat question

    Only in freshwater? I would not be concerned, it's good practice to flush the engine on occasion in fresh water to prevent sediment buildup but it's very much dependent on the type of water you are in and is not a risk compared to the damage salt can do. On the 195's I would be more concerned...

    Trouble Code Normal (SPN 0)

    Sometimes if you see a random trouble code and the boat is running fine (not in limp mode) and simple battery off/on will reset it. If it happens again then don't reset it as their is an issue that would need to be addressed. That code is an indication of something that would need to be pulled...

    Stereo Wiring Harness for Yamaha?

    Second batter is smart regardless of the stereo you have on the boat. I have two group 27's in my boat (overkill) and a bat 1/2 switch. I have a picture/parts list for mine here: https://jetboaters.net/threads/2014-sx190-build-thread-off-grid-pic-heavy.27305/ Lots of info on second battery for...

    new 195s owner rookie questions

    Hello and welcome! 1. The throttle slipping is a normal thing that some have experienced, tension on the throttle internally controls this. There are a few ways to correct this, you can see if your throttle has a tension screw on the back, but this sometimes only gets you so far, there is a...

    195s Saltwater Maintenance

    Welcome! Saltwater maintenance is pretty straight forward on these boats, I use SaltAway on both the hull and in the engine every time the boat is used and make sure you clean/dry it well. To answer your questions: 1. Depending on how often you use the boat, maybe every other trip or every 3...

    2014 SX190 Build Thread - Off Grid - [PIC HEAVY]

    Mod 19/20ish: GatorStep Decking Been delayed in posting one of the biggest updates to the boat, full custom GatorStep. Visually, this is such a game changer for the 190, it makes the boat feel like nice wakeboard boat and adds some personal touches. The process started with measurements and...

    Anybody Tow a Boat and WaveRunner to the lake?

    I started with two jet skis and ran those for years before buying the boat, since the boat we almost only use the jet skis at Lake Powell with the houseboat. On occasion the skis will go on a normal trip with them but that is only when there is a bunch of people that can confidently handle the...

    Wrong spark plugs? / Spark plugs burned

    It's been difficult to find the connectors but this looks promising, has anyone ordered from PWC Parts.com? https://pwcparts.com/yamaha-fx-sho-svho-gp1800-1-8l-2008-spark-plug-injector-coil-connector-plug-upgrade-kit/

    Thoughts on a single battery setup

    Now that's an idea!

    Thoughts on a single battery setup

    Ya I would never go single battery on a 252 as those electrical systems are designed for two with the house/start split. The 190's are a lot simpler and just have everything on the same battery.

    Thoughts on a single battery setup

    Very interesting info, I am going to read through the thread. I think my main motivation is on space and weight saving, been finding a lot of things that just hangout in the boat and never get used or only get used at Powell.

    Thoughts on a single battery setup

    So recently I have been thinking about getting rid of my duel battery setup on the 190. Currently, the boat has two group 31 AGM’s, 1 is a NorthStar X2 and the other is a Sam’s Club Duracell. Initially, this setup was installed with the recommendations from all of my boating friends and family...

    Wrong spark plugs? / Spark plugs burned

    Not yet, it's still on the todo list but keeps getting pushed as it's not boating season

    Wrong spark plugs? / Spark plugs burned

    I have not looked for that, I didn't know there would be a rebuild kit for these. This is great, going to be fun to try and find the right one but I image they have it

    Wrong spark plugs? / Spark plugs burned

    Finally had a day to go out and do test/tinkering. Looks like I found the source of the issue, #4 cylinder connector to the ignition coil is bad. The connector and coil look like they have been sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Anyone know of where to get the connector?

    Lake Powell questions

    Ya that's the only bummer about elevation with the Yamaha's is the power loss. If you end up making more Powell trips during summer it would be worth getting Impros to make some props for Powell.

    Lake Powell questions

    Late to the party here but catching up. Ya the mussell quiz is more of a money grab, I have yet to see a ranger or Utah DNR actually loop/ask or care for it. They more want to tag your boat upon exit of the lake. Mavrick off of the 89 also has ethanol free 87 on your way from town to the lake...
