    need a new t-top canvas.

    i figure i will just get another but if i can get one with the rod grommets already in place it would be a huge bonus. im just hoping someone knows if the 2017 with rod grommets will fit.

    need a new t-top canvas.

    so after 2 years the canvas to the t-top on my 2016 fsh 190 tore down the middle. to replace it, i was thinking of getting the 2017 t-top canvas with the holes for the fishing rods. does anyone know if it will fit and also flush with the rod holders on the side of the console? i was shocked that...

    Nuts! First time crap jammed in jet what to expect.

    this same thing happened to me a few nights ago. the boat would go forward but wouldn't go beyond 5 mph. I tried accelerating and the engine revved but no pick up. a bad storm had just passed and stirred up the water (and I got stuck in the middle of it). opened the hatch and reached in to pull...

    hull issues with 2016 190fsh

    sorry for the late response. so here goes... the keel seems to have been damaged because one of the center cubes on the jet dock got crushed in and part of it formed a jagged edge. I have realigned the cubes and it hasn't been much of an issue. when I spoke with Yamaha, they mentioned that the...

    hull issues with 2016 190fsh

    i appreciate all the feedback. i guess i wanted my first boat to have few issues and thats why i got a one year old yamaha. but these issues arent even seen in older boats. just disappointed. i also didnt realize the warranty is just one year, most reputable companies offer 5 to 10 years on hull...

    hull issues with 2016 190fsh

    this is my first boat and I had high hopes. first there was an air gap and a chunk of gel coat came off. after arguing with Yamaha for 2 months, they finally agreed to cover the repairs. now I noticed that the gel coat on the keel has been rubbed off in places. I keep the boat on a jetdock and I...

    Garmin echomap 93sv on 210FSH

    is there already a transducer mounted? I have the same unit and the supplied transducer does side and down view. there are many posts here with different mounting options.

    hull damage question.

    quick update: I brought the boat to the warranty repair center. unfortunately, they don't do gel coat or fiberglass so the guy who does it is a 3rd party who gave an estimate based on pictures which will be submitted. there is a crack by the rear ring that ratchets to the trailer as well. the...

    hull damage question.

    yup. i bought it in december. used it 3 times in the last 3 weeks. definitely disappointing. i thought this would be a reliable boat since yamaha has a great reputation. nothing but regrets.

    hull damage question.

    why not? is it expected that the gel coat be as thin as an egg shell?

    hull damage question.

    is it normally supposed to be so thin? is there a way to check for this issue on the rest of the hull without using a hammer?

    hull damage question.

    I appreciate the info. I don't feel comfortable doing the gel coat since I haven't done it in the past, and I feel Yamaha should back their products. I will bring it in on Tuesday and see what they say, and have them fix the standard leaks ( livewell and fish locker). I know boats are constant...
