Mine took 3 times, then good as new.
Perhaps FAQ-worthy? I didn't see it there (not that I spent hours looking or anything).
We have had a lot of fun with the 275SD. It is great for hosting people, sand bars, calmish days on the ocean. It’s fast. Looks cool. Tons of great features. I’m a first time boat owner. I had a bad experience with the driveshaft / engine. I didn’t follow Yamaha instructions to the tee and didn’t want to wait for inspectors (I had Yamaha dealer try to fix). As a result the Yamaha dealer hosed me on the blown engine. And I was without the boat for many months and paid probably 30k all in to repair. But since then it’s been great. This forum (and my mechanic) pointed out the frequent sargassum clogs that happen in Florida and that’s just nature of jets.
Thanks BGN!
Re: Sargassum grass, its a pain once in a while down here... I keep an eye out for it, and keep an eye on the speed and engine RPM's when the speed drops more than 5mph for a given RPM and known sea condition then you've picked up some grass... what I do is come down off plane back up with the wind 2-3 mph is good, shut the engines off and open the reverse gates... the offending grass is backwashed off the grates 9 times out of 10... I affectionately call this a "Crazy Ivan"with credit to the Hunt for Red October...
"Crazy Ivan" is a good one.... but that does work.
Right? After reading the book, I thought how hard would it have been to put a scene into the movie about Secretary of Defense handing the Russian ambassador the clock (?) out of red October like in the book.
Dealing with this right now. How long after you start the engines during a flush, do you have to hook up and start the water, before the alarm goes off referencing overheating?
You turn on the water immediately after engine start. Dont wait too long.
Thank you. First time owner. In addition to the termperature alert, It is showing a low oil pressure alert, Low Oil Pressure: 0b00 and YDS code 1. Same codes on both engines. This after a great Sunday outing, with no problems whatsoever. No codes or alerts all day during our outing, until the next day when I went to flush it on the rack this afternoon. Could low water pressure in the flush hose also trigger a low oil pressure code, in both engines?
Longer than you need. It’s well over a minute.
On my 2020 I wasn't able to reset a code this spring until I left the batteries on and just powered on/off with the keys 3x. I've always understood that turning the battery switches off was necessary.
Did you verify the oil level is good in both engines?
And yes, oil level is good in both engines. Being new to all of this I did not understand that what was showing as a code for Low Oil Pressure 0b00, is actually not a negative code, but rather pointing to Low Oil Pressure NOT being a problem. I used a different hose with better watter pressure and flushed the engines without further incident. The culprit then was low pressure in the water hose I was using to flush the engines. Thank you all!
That makes total sense. I can't imagine trying to get through somewhere like haulover without the twins.
