Any typical warranty issues with new SX/AR-190s? What should I expect?

[D Sonkin]

I'm planning to buy brand new SX-190 shortly. My plan is to take care of the regular engine maintenance by myself. How much am I still dependent on the dealer? Any new warranty issues that are typical with these boats? Thank you

I have the 195 but they’re similar enough for the purposes of your question. I haven’t had any issues with mine that rose to the level of hauling the boat 1 hr to the dealer. The 19’ models seem to have the fewest problems. A lot of people complain of leaks on the 19fsh, 21, & 24 but mine has always been bone dry except for rain.

My issues:

*poor carpet snap alignment causing the carpet to not lay flat - never fixed
*occasional fog in speedo gauge - never fixed, usually clears after a while
*poor drainage hose connections throughout the boat - fixed all issues myself
*bluetooth in stock stereo always sucked. Weak signal that frequently drops. Bought an external receiver for $15 on amazon to fix this issue
