Favorite Accessories

[Ronnie]

Edit: in retrospect the best accessories I’ve cher had for either of my yamaha jet boats are cobrajet fins from Jeff @Cobra Jet Steering LLC.
Without them I’m not a yamaha jet boat owner.

After the fins my current favorites are the knob I put on my steering wheel ($30ish) and the Bimini top, extension (which is used while underway, even at WOT) and boot I had made that allows me to easily deploy and stow the top. As far as I know it’s the only one of its kind ($1,300ish).

Holy crap! Those are huge! I'm looking for something less wrecking ball sized.

To each their own. I can assure you my boat has no scratches on it and will remain that way. They work great especially rafting up to other boats of any style. They don't have to be blown up to full capacity, I keep them about 70% inflated so they fit in the ski locker. You can also blow one up in under 2 minutes without a pump. They are not for everyone

Anyone use a rechargeable fan for those days with no wind and high temps? Please post pics and links if possible.

here is what I have gone with recently. It's a ryobi mister fan for buckets. I am using it with a YETI loudout bucket. I have a cooler liner inside the bucket to use with ice. It is actually like having a mini AC.

Thanks I’ll keep you posted.

Thought I'd start a thread for those that have the itch to buy some accessories (I know I do). Was curious what all you have bought that you were just absolutely thrilled with. I know there are many pricier upgrades but also love to call out the cheaper ones too!

I've bought a few recently that I've been very happy with:
Sandshark lines, i have these in all lengths and they get used more than anything. The kids will link them together and tie off their inflatables or we use them in conjunction with the anchor line to create a shock absorber. Also great for the kids to do a quick tie off at the dock.

From a cleaning perspective I use Salt Terminator on a subscribe and save order with Amazon (I really can see a difference with and without it) as well as any 303 cleaner. Also part of my post boating routine is two large fans. A carpet blower fan in the battery box which circulates air throughout the entire under seat portion of the boat as well as a large high velocity fan to help dry out the inside quick.

So...what are your favorite value-add accessories?

Great thread
