    Electrical Box where the Starter Coil is on the 2010-2014 Yamaha 242 or AR240

    I don't want to give ideas to Yamaha engineers, who are probably not even human since the fricking AI robots are all over. But you people deserve to know. This is the inversion of the nuts in the support of the electrical box where the starter coil is in the 2010 Yamaha 242 LS. I don't...

    2013 Port Tachometer Screen

    Looking for some help with my port tachometer. 2013 242 LS and the port tachometer digital screen will briefly work when the engine starts and then it fades to nothing. I thought Faria made the gauge for this year but found out they do not. A replacement is a crazy price at the thousand dollar...

    2nd year and lost

    I’m sure these questions have been asked over and over. Please be kind and let me know what I have to do to fix the following problems. I’ll take all suggestions with the exception of Sink It. I keep my boat in the Hudson River - it’s a salt water estuary river. Last year I had throttle cable...

    Want To Buy 2012-2013, 242LS or 212x

    My wife has green-lighted a new boat for our family. After being a long-time Yamaha Waverunner owner and SeaDoo X-20 owner, I have always lurked the Yamaha forums for a 21-24' boat. My reason for this vintage is the updated hull and tip-down towers. A 2013 with any leftover YES contract would...

    Sold Yamaha 242 Limited-S for Scarab 255 Open

    So I had a 2015 Yamaha 242 Limited S, great boat, used it mostly in lakes or rivers around Gainesville, FL. A few times went down to the gulf around Anna Maria Island. Not a great boat in the gulf, but fine for the temporary purpose. But, fortunate enough to get a place on AMI and I wanted a...

    2016 242 LSE vs 2013 212X Decision

    Some of you know that I'm in the middle of my @Betik style mad scramble to get a boat bought and prepped for Bimini... I thought (think) I was dead set on a 2016 242 LSE, or maybe not, Now I'm thinking a 2013 212X may be a better all around boat for me since I'd AT MOST be going to Bimini once a...
