Is there a std list of items to check for our boats as part of the 10 hr service? What do you tighten? I was thinking of doing this myself since the closest dealer is an hour away.
@gwrace1 where did you download a service manual from? How much was it?

Here is the maintenance schedule I have. Anyone have anything different? Looks like you can't order printed manuals at the moment due to virus issues. You can view an ebook. - YAMAHA MANUAL STORE

Here is the 10 Hour Yamaha Service by Phil Dill Boats – Lewisville, Texas

R&R spark plugs

Remove air box and inspect air filter

Lubricate intermediate housing, throttle and shift cable, steering cable, nozzle pivot shaft and bearing housing

Check trolling speed. Inspect and adjust throttle stop screw

Flush cooling water passage

Inspect steering friction and check steering cable adjustment

Load test Battery and check fluid level.

Inspect engine bolts and nuts. Torque as needed.

Change engine oil (Yamaha doesn’t recommend but dealer recommends filter change, additional charge)

Hook up to diagnostic computer and scan for codes

Just change oil and filter, check spark plugs and check for loose hardware/clamps in engine compartment, under dash, under clean out tray and then just add water (as in put boat in water)....easy

Hello guys just picked up my first jet boat. Picked up a 2020 195s. I live in Jacksonville Florida! Just wondering what the first things you guys do to your boats? Currently just bought a thrust vector wake! Thank you for any comments!

just curious which dealer you went through? I just put a deposit down on a 2021 195s at Ride Now was hoping you did the same dealer. Maybe give me some pointers or tips on what i can get out of these guys and what they offered etc. etc. thanks

Hey! I purchased it from ride now in orange park. I didn’t really get much from them. When I bought they have a really good deal going on so I couldn’t ask for much more. I’ve done some work for some employees there so they treated me like family!
