    2007 Yamaha SX 230 - warm water in engine and galloons out transom plug (drain)

I opened up...

    Has to be a leak in stern of the boat

    I have a few posts on the forum asking about water in bilge, etc. No luck finding the source so far and I am starting with what it looks like from the outside. So I am bound and determined to find where the water is getting in at the stern of the boat. Here are some pics from the 215. There are...

    Bilge pump wiring

    2008 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger So my original bilge pump went out. I am replacing it with a Rule pump with an automatic sensor built in. It now works perfect in auto but I cannot get the manual switch on the helm to work. Is this as simple as a bad switch possibly or is there something else that...

    Questions about water accumulation

    So i had my 2019 SX190 out for the first time today. I had taken it for a test drive with the dealer but of course when you test drive you dont notice many things. At idle speed, like 1500 rpm while going through no wake zones, etc, it appeared the front of the boat was sitting pretty low...

    Water in Aft Storage

    I'm a brand new AR195 owner, and this is also my very first boat of any kind. We have the boat in a slip, with the Yamaha mooring cover. We've had some heavy rain over the past few days, and there is water in the two storage area's on either side of the engine. This area is carpeted from the...

    1996 Regal Rush XP 120 jet boat - Broken Control/Shift Cable

    The shift control cable broke on my 1996 Regal Rush xp120 jet boat! Since the MV-2 control is obsolete I had to replace it with a CH2300P control box. I’m wondering if the new cc21310 control cable will work. I have not received the new CH2300P control yet. Anyone have any experience? The reason...

    Taking a leak in public...

    Every outing in my '16 AR240 I end up with copious amounts of water in the bilge. Gradually I've been able to find and seal a few I've found along the way, but the water persists to infiltrate somewhere...? To date, I found the drain line detached from the rear clean out tray. A leaking...

    Thanks to info from @Fishwrecked I've learned that 2018 models all have float switch bilges! This will be a nice improvement for those of us that leave their boats on (or over) the water. Rulemate 500 float switch bilge pump!!! Pretty sure this is the pump they are installing: Rule-Mate®...

    Scarab 195 HO impulse. Taking on water? Sinking? Why?

    Hi all, So it's a long story, but I'd like to figure out what happened, if I did something wrong or should have done something. Yesterday I was out for a day of boating with a bunch friends, took a couple people out tubing then went for two 30+ minute boat rides around the lake, no issues...

    SX230 Bilge

    Hi all, I'm finding tons of great info on this site. Thanks!! I just purchased a 2007 SX230 HO. Been doing basic work on it (steering cables, reverse gate cables, scupper valve, etc). I am about to tow from NC up to my cabin in Northern Michigan, where I am debating about mooring for 2...

    Bilge Explained ???

    So I have some questions about the bilge in the 242's. I say all this with caution as I don't absolutely know this to be true, but here goes. There are essentially 4 compartment in the boat, the bilge which drains out the stern plug, the engine compartment which has the bilge pump and a drain...

    Odd Questions from a new Scarab Jetboat owner (2014 195HO)

    Greetings, A couple of questions that I haven't been able to figure out yet: 1. I trailer my boat (2 blocks each way) to the boat launch. The bilge is "always on" and is on the port side. Today, as I was driving down to the launch, the bilge puked all over another car going the other way...
