    Want To Buy Looking to Buy used 2018 242x or 242 Limited SE

    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...

    First Outing - 2018 242X E-Series - Questions/Advise?

    Took the boat out for the first time yesterday. 2018 242x e-series coming from a 2000 19" Stingray I/O 4.3L. Outgrew the old boat, kids are getting bigger and more interested in watersports. The 242 seems like the all around ideal boat for playing and chilling. Spent first two hours slowly...

    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...

    242 Limited - E-Series - Drive Control - Check Engine Message

    Hey Guys, Interesting incident on my 242. Had been out for a "long" run on Lake Livingston - A couple of hours down and around the lake and went to lunch at Indian Point. As I put the boat in reverse, the starboard engine produced a "Drive Control - Check Engine Warning" and upon leaving...

    Looking to buy a pre-owned 2015-17 242X or Limited S. Give me a shout if you are selling. Ideally closer to TX but I am open to looking across the country.

    How to put on the E-Series Bimini cover fabric

    The dealer showed me how they remove and put the bimini cover up and it works well for me. It is easier with 2 people, but I've done it on my own fine as well. Their approach is as follows: undo and unclip all the straps, including the ratchets and wrap them back in their velcro cover Go to...

    2016 Yamaha 242 Limited S E-Series Review

    New member here in NC. I see a few other similar posts, but wanted to share my thoughts after months of shopping and comparing for a new boat for the family. This is my 4th boat and I decided to look at jets after reading similar reviews about the new Chaparral and Yamaha 24 footers. We ended...

    DVSR and E-Series Solar Panel Questions and answers

    I was able to connect with Yamaha and get some of my questions answered around the solar panels and DVSR....here is the very helpful info: 1. Do the switches have to be in the “On” position for the solar panels to charge the batteries? NO, the batteries will be charged by the solar panels...

    No Sub moves on an E-Series boat...NONE....not even a small one!

    So I have confirmed that one cannot do ANY kind of sub move on an E-Series boat....this does suck as I always enjoyed spraying the folks in the front seat with water. I wouldn't put the bow under. On my boat, when you go to reverse it does NOTHING. It is probably limited by some sort of GPS...

    E-Series Bimini tower tubing diameter? <Flag or rod holder>

    Anyone with an E-Series boat with the new bimini know what size the tubing is on the tower? I am thinking it would be the perfect place to mount some flag poles - one for the American flag, and one Jetboaters.net flag....

    Need lots of photos of E-Series dash area....for Garmin GPSMAP 541 mounting ideas...

    So I'm beginning to contemplate where I will mount my Garmin 541 on the new boat (242x) and seek some varied angled shots of the dash area, and your thoughts as to where the best place to mount one would be. The only mounting point I recall seeing on this model is putting the mount in the cup...
