    Sticky Rudder from Full Right Position

    I have a 2016 242 , 350 hours. Fully maintained. The rudder- when we are on the full right lock position, is a bit sticky pulling back from it. So turning left to right and back and forth is fine. But if you turn to the full right position, its a bit 'sticky' when you pull out. I noticed...

    Reverse Steering Yamaha vs Seadoo

I also know that the way Seadoo (or any rotax) set up works is the opposite of a prop driven boat in reverse. My question is two part-(a) is yamaha reverse steering...

    212 X Steering Problem

    So I have currently run into an issue with my 2018 212X steering. Took it out this past weekend and quickly learned that it wouldn’t steer to the left. Both jet nozzles turn to the right with ease but stop dead when they reach center. I checked both jet nozzles and even disconnected the...

    2020 Yamaha AR240 Stiff Steering

    I just had my boat serviced (20 hours) and took it out for the first time this season. The steering is so tight it almost feels like if the power steering on your car went out. It was so bad I missed the dock both going out and coming in and it took 2 tries to get it on the trailer. Normally...

    212X 2019 Steering binds

    We took our relatively knew 212X- 2019 boat out last weekend for the first time since last year. It worked great Saturday and took it out Sunday. When pulling out of the dock noticed the steering was very tight and made a noise. Brought boat back in and inspected everything I could see...
