    242X Ballast Bag

    I know there are a ton of posts about these ballasts but I couldn't find one to directly answer my question. I just test-drove a 242X today, the ballast tanks didn't seem to work correctly (part of it my user error from not knowing and I am buying it from a dealer who took it on trade so...

    I am looking to buy a good used 2018 (I like the larger Connext screen) 242X or the 242 Limited S E-Series. I have a dealer that is local that has a good deal on a new 2018 Limited S E-Series but since I live in Arkansas I would like to avoid paying the state the taxes on the new purchase...

    2018 242X E-Series Wake Super Slow When Turning

    I’m new here and new to Yamaha and have been trying to find info about this here, but haven't yet. Looking for some insights. Just bought a 2018 242X E-series Wake boat and I like a lot of things about the boat. One thing I’m disappointed with is the boats inability to maintain speed when fully...

    New Here - 242X E-series wake slow in turns

    I’m new here and new to Yamaha. Looking for some insights. Just bought a 2018 242X E-series Wake boat and really like the boat so far. One thing I’m disappointed with is the boats inability to maintain speed when fully turned. I live in Utah and boat lakes between 4000-7000 ft so I put in the...

    Bluetooth doesn't stay on - switches back to radio

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2016 242x E-series. LOVE IT!! I'm new to jet boating and can't say enough about this boat. We use it mostly for wakeboarding and surfing. Still figuring out how to make the best wake, but we're getting there. The bluetooth was working great until a couple of...

    Impact of Cobra Venom Magnum AK Series on Wake Shape and Size

    I'm thinking about getting 2017 Yamaha 242X E-Series. From what I read, Cobra Venom Magnum AK Series seems like a very nice addition in order to improve steering. My question is whether these fins will alter the shape or size of the wake which would have negative impact on wake surfing? When...

    The New 212X is here! Hard Tanks, Connext, Stereo upgrade and more!

    I got to spend a lot of time on the 212X at the Yamaha preview and it is a beautiful boat! It looks and feels like a smaller 242X, but drives much more aggressively! It turns quickly, but tracks well at slow speed, and cuts through wakes well with little to no walking or wiggling! If I were...

    Post boating carpet technique.

    After a day on the water, with carpets, we load them into the basement tile floor, semi wet- 12 hours later have the kids vacuum and role carpets in prep for next adventure. If fresh water boating, no rinse. If salt, fresh water rinse and hang, then same. Basement has dehumidifier and box...

    Hi All! Proud new owner of a 2016 242-x E-Series. The whole family is loving the boat. I've already met a number of other happy Yamaha owners out on Lake Wylie, SC... Quick question: Where is the seacock valve on this boat? The connext system is telling me to check this both on the home...

    Problems with battery drain on my 242X

    OK, I spent a little time today working on the boat trying to figure out why my starting battery was dead last week. So I go out to there today with a multi meter and sure enough, the starting battery is totally dead again (read like .7 volts). House battery read 12.5v. So I try putting it on...
