    Replacement M/C, Calipers and brake rotors on Shorelandr 242 trailer?

    Its still a PAIN though, I am going through the same stuff trying to get my brakes fixed by my dealer. Under warranty, I hope.

    Replacement M/C, Calipers and brake rotors on Shorelandr 242 trailer?

    You will need to do the parts look up on their website, just use your VIN. Once you have the parts #'s you can run a search for dealers, or just order direct from them. https://www.shorelandr.com/parts/

    Black Oak LED Light Bar

    Apologies for the delayed response, the link @Scarab 215 posted is exactly what I have. I did the 5W LEDs and combo light. If you mount it over your bimini top, you will get some reflection off of the bow but it lights up channel markers really well. I usually only use it in unfamiliar...

    Cape Fear to Wilmington Trek

    I know this is a year old, but I was recently looking to try the Fayetteville to Wilmington run down the Cape Fear, until I ran across the soundings posted here: Wilmington District Website > Missions > Navigation > Hydrographic Surveys > River Projects Bottom line, I wouldn't attempt this run...

    Black Oak LED Light Bar

    By the way, I did end up getting the Black Oak LED Light bar 30" double row, last year. It works great, and the installation wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. If you navigate unfamiliar waters at night, this light will keep you clear of hazards and help you find channel markers. I...

    Lectrotab Group Buy-Looking to see if and how many would be interested.

    Interested, but with @Weeb and @Drexx3 on having the ALC upgrade. Is anyone else interested in ALC? Maybe we can work it into a sub-group buy category? :winkingthumbsup"

    Newbie wonders... single engine vs twin?

    If you want to fit 6 or 7 people on the 190/195, you would have to do some weight math. We went with a 192 for our first boat, just to ensure we would use it enough and learn the jet engine. My 192 couldn't do everything that I asked of it, whether it was having the leave people/ equipment at...

    2016 yamaha ar 240 simrad go 9xse install in dash ideas pics?

    I mounted a GO 7 XSR on my 2017 242 using a RAM mount just behind the steering wheel. It obstructs the RPM cluster but they're still usable and mostly unneeded. The simrad won't be able to connect to the yamaha systems, unless a new fix has come out. Our boats use a proprietary coding and not...

    Stereo Any interest in 2020 Factory Polk Speakers, set of 6?

    @anmut, no issue, I may be interested, but I need to measure my current speakers to verify what size replacements I need.

    Why is it illegal to sit in the transom seats underway in a jet boat?

    I could make a very valid argument to the contrary, but out of respect to @Julian, Jetboaters.net, and my fellow Yamaha fans, I will pass this one up. I'd rather see everyone on the water and hope that everyone has a safe upcoming boating season. The information of CO is much appreciated...

    Why is it illegal to sit in the transom seats underway in a jet boat?

    I always assumed places that outlaw wake surfing was due to the erosion, among other issues, that big wakes usually cause. Not to mention, wake surfing can be a real menace when at anchor in a quiet cove and that is all too tempting for someone to make a pass through.

    Bigger or newer?

    Agree with the above, we bought an AR192 only to trade it for a 242 in less than one season. The dealer always wins on a trade, so buy what you ultimately want the first time, you will learn a bigger boat at about the same rate as the smaller. But only one is going to best fit your needs.

    Bigger or newer?

    To follow up on my last post and a quick search online, it looks like the 230 has 1800lbs capacity and the 210 has 1675 lbs capacity. Can't speak for the engines, as I have always had the 1.8l in my yamaha boats.

    Why is it illegal to sit in the transom seats underway in a jet boat?

    I was going to say, I have allowed adults to ride on the transom many times without any issues from law enforcement; but it may be ignorance on my part. Believe it or not, it is the smoothest ride our boats are capable of, when in choppy water. When it comes to kiddos, never on the bow or...

    Bigger or newer?

    I would recommend checking the max capacity in lbs for each model. I bet the newer 210 is comparable to the 230, so that extra two feet may not give you more load capacity. I know with our first boat, it could hold 8 persons, but only at 120 - 150lbs each. Needless to say, it didn't meet our...

    2020 212X - Hello from Raleigh NC

    Congrats on your new boat, be sure to add another coat of wax right when you take delivery, it will go a long way towards reducing those docking mishaps when learning how to steer a jet boat. Intimidating at first, but you will be a pro pretty soon. Just remember, in slow speed maneuvers, less...

    Flushing engine on Yamaha 242 Limited S E series using in Saltwater

    @Bobby K I agree that a lift is pretty important, if available. If not, I wouldn't be too concerned about the boat sitting in saltwater, short term, as long as I am running it regularly, once or twice a week to keep an eye on things. I would also pull out at least once a month for a thorough...

    Let me know how she handles the surf, I've been eyeing the Sea Hunt Center Consoles for a while. Would like a full report @vanmurray
