I joined the club this week with an AR190. Got through the brake in period this weekend and the family really enjoyed the boat. I have been in boats my entire life, but this is my first jet drive.
Sweet! That was my first jetboat too. Kept it for 3 years and then got a bigger one. You're gonna love it!

That was going to be my first question...what are the best performance mods that don't void the warranty?

I actually don't have a boat yet, just been lurking and trying to learn as much as possible. But lots of folks change the Bow Roller because it can scuff the gel coat around the roller.

I was hoping someone can help me. My 2013 AR190 won’t start. The battery tested fine at 800 CCA. What I get when a turn the key is one clunk sound and that’s it except for a low grade hum and the loud alarm saying check engine. I am not positive I have the battery connected correctly. Forgot to mark the connections when I took the battery out for the season. There are five wires. I know the main positive and main negative but the other three I’m not so sure about. I think there are three wires connected to the negative and to connected to the positive. One wire has a Fuse attached to it. Does that one go on the positive or negative? Any other help or suggestions would be much appreciated. And one more thing, my battery terminals heated up so much that I burned my finger trying to disconnect the positive cable.
