210 FSH Water pooling on T Top

[YamahaJoe]

Everytime it rains the T Top gets water pooling in the middle on the fabric. I have tightened up more and still pools. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it on the stock top? I don't want to go with aftermarket, I like being able to take mine off for travel.

There’s a video on YouTube where a gentleman reroutes the straps and solves the problem. I stuff a throwable cushion and have no problems.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to these. But the pool noodle and the other youtube video are for the 190's. The 210's have a different setup on how the bars go across the top and there's nowhere to run a pool noodle across the giant middle opening that Yamaha decided to do instead of the middle bar on the 190. And the straps in the video go around the poles which you can't do on the 210... Not a very smart setup from Yammie on this one.

I would love to have standard t top with stretched canvass with the ties to the frame. Waste of good mounting space with this wrap over stuff.

A carbon fiber hard top mounted with rubber or silicon isolation standoffs would be such a cool after market addition. Jet Boat Pilot...hello? Please don't make me tool up and make my own.
