    Purchasing a SX210

    I’m buying my first boat and am going with the SX210 mostly because it’s the only boat available in this area around 19ft. While I’m still waiting on delivery I need a trailer hitch. I have a 2021 Ford Ranger and need to know what height the tow ball needs to be at in order to level the trailer...

    I have a 2016 shorlander trailer for my Yamaha 242, which has been very reliable and regularly serviced. I’m gonna start putting the boat in salt water for occasional use since i only live 10 miles from the ocean in SoCal (our local marina in Dana point used to have a public boat hoist but...

    Not sitting on the bunks perfectly. Is this a problem?

    I never seem to be able to get my SX190 sitting on the bunks perfectly when pulling the boat out of the water. I just recently installed those trailer post guides, so I'm hoping I can tweak them to the point that there's near 0% chance of not getting the boat to sit on the bunks properly...

    Advice for setting up a new trailer?

    Got a new aluminum trailer (Venture Commander 5600) to replace the painted one we got with our 2012 SX240 that was falling apart thanks to salt water and am soon going to pull the boat off the lift for the winter. Dealer said "put the boat on and see how it looks" - which seems a little vague...

    Completed 2014 Yamaha 242 Limited S + HydroHoist 4400# Lift + Shore Land'r trailer - GA - $45,000

    If you know Yamaha, I don't need to say more. In case you need a reminder, this is the best boat in the world for a busy family. Easy maintenance and impeccably reliable. That's why I bought Yamaha to begin with. $45k takes boat, lift & trailer. Also, first dibs on covered slip in the nicest...

    SX/AR 210 Length on Trailer

    I am looking to purchase an AR210 as my first family boat but have a garage depth of 22’. I know on Yamaha’s website it says the length of the boat on the trailer 22’ but I’m not sure how accurate these figures are and would prefer some buffer room. Does anyone with 2017 or 2018 AR/SX 210 know...

    Tires on new trailer - something missing?

    I just purchased a 2018 Yamaha 242X and it came with a Shorelandr trailer. After getting the boat and trailer home, we notice that one of the wheels seems to be missing a part around the hub. 3 of the wheels look like the first picture, with the hub covered (the black plastic cap is removable...

    Issue with the surge breaks

    So I've been having some issues with the surge breaks on my shoreland'r trailer this season. The trailer that came with my 16' 192. At first I thought it was an electrical issue, I ended up installing a new 7 pin connector, and tested all the electrical outputs. Everything working fine. The...

    Trailer Ball Height

    I've seen a few threads regarding ball height, but I'm not sure how much they vary by year / model, so I thought I'd ask. I have a 2017 212X, which I valet at a marina, so I have not seen the trailer once. In anticipation of taking the boat home this fall, I was hoping someone could tell me...

    Price for a Yamaha without a Trailer

    I'm planning to trade in my current boat for a new 2017 Yamaha 242x. I keep boat in a slip for close to 6 months (fresh water lake) and have my marina service and store it for the winter. I don't need a trailer and would like to get the boat without it. My marina charges me $150 for summer...

    Should I convert to electric brakes?

    The chrome wore off the piston on one of my brake calipers on a ShoreLand'r trailer several years ago. It sticks about once a season and I have to rebuild it. I am sick of it. A local trailer shop did not recommend replacing it with another USP caliper. They have a 10" kit (two new...

    MFI Trailer 2011 Model: TRL 23-25 T (YMH240P)

    I bought my Yamaha AR240 last summer and was starting to do some spring maintenance before getting her in the water. I noticed that the little ball on the zerk fitting on the bearing protector was missing and grease would come out once it was pumped in. So I decided to remove the bearing...

    Anyone here ever sell their tandem Shorelandr trailer?

    I'm having a combo trailer built (fingers crossed) and will be selling the shorelandr boat and jet ski trailers afterwards. Has anyone here sold one of the tandem axle shorelandr's and if so, what did you get for it? Just wondering what this thing could go for.
