Anchor locker leaks in models with current hull

[octavio3311]

Another thing to check... Fill the swim platform cup holders with water and double-check that the water drains out of the fixtures located below the cup holders, and not into the bilge.

Where are they suppose to drain?
I popped mine out - there's nothing below, there's no hose connected. Even if there was a hose - waters going to flow into the bilge - no?

i know they have a great product but they need to supervise the quality of the building posses in the factory line.
i will apply at Yamaha to be a supervisor and get that company ware it needs to be or they can hired more robots and less humans that way there is no human error

2015 and newer 24 footers drain onto the swim deck.

I checked mine and sure enough a huge gap around the drain. I filled it with marine sealant.

Thanks for this thread. I'm in the process of buying a new 24 footer...and you can bet I'm going to be checking these before delivery and making sure the service team knows about them. If they're not fixed between when I do the paperwork and take delivery, I won't be a happy camper!

That's just poor quality on Yamaha!!

Guess you have to spend $110,000 to get a high quality built boat. Definitely not like the auto industry. Many of the value brands in the auto industry build high quality cars. Seems Yamaha could do the same.

Hmmmm, maybe I've been too hard on the dealers. If this is how the boats are put together, I have no doubts that they do all leak.

I think no boat should leak water no matter how much it cost.

i agree ,boats are supposed to keep water out not in.

i think the same is something that they overlook but they got our attention now ,im sure about that.
because as consumers we have the right to get what we paid for a dry boat.
i sleep im my boat in the bahamas and i use my pota poty and i hate to get my feet wet at night wen a use it.

I fly model airplanes (quite poorly) and these boats sometimes remind me of the Almost Ready to Fly (ARF) planes you can by where you just have to do some basic assembly and they're ready to go. Unfortunately, I didn't know I was getting a Almost Ready to Float boat and certainly paid for a Ready to Float boat!

Not to beat a dead horse here but took some pictures of my anchor locker during lunch today. Not pretty...

Yes it looks like yamaha did not finished that fitting well i guess you can take it to your dealer or DIY project on your new and expensive purchase.
Im sorry to hear about your boat with the same yamaha owners problems.
Hope the can recall this boats so they can fix this the right way.
Thanks for sharing

Hey man. I removed that drain fitting from my fsh 190 and it was solid with no opening. I have a 2016 deluxe not sure if it was something they fixed or not. I still get water in the lower head compartment though. I guess the search continues.

 

[G.P. On the water]

Wow... last week I got my 212x. I will definitely check this weekend !!Thank you for all this great info. Here she is!!

@OUT ON THE REEF, this post is directed to you. @Jay936 did not have open space between his outer and inner shell at the anchor locker drain like you did on your boat. On my boat, this space is filled with a very hard filler. If your boat is missing this, then it may indicate a bigger problem for you. If I were you, I'd look into it. It may impact structural integrity and flotation.
