Thanks! we've only had it out twice before it started leaking really bad through the anchor locker. pics included of that too. Now we wait to hear back from yamaha and the dealership. :/

Welcome aboard sorry to hear about that. What is the pic of that hole? I have not seen that before.

Thanks. The hole is the anchor locker drain. Looks a bit unfinished to me and judging by the water we're getting on board we have a night problem.

Just out of break in but haven't had the chance to push it yet due to the issues we've had. Do far it's just an expensive dock ornament haha.

Welcome and congrats on the new boat. Sounds like you've narrowed it down to the anchor locker drain. I'm sure Yamaha will have you all fixed up soon.

Looks sweet. Just looks like someone missed a fitting. If your in salt water do yourself a favor and flush it out with mild dish soap and water (copious amounts) and let them fix it. And the check there work. Can you list your location?

If you search on you tube for out on the reef he has a video on why it is leaking and what he did to fix it

I flushed it really well but didn't use soap. I'll have to do that when I get it back, or have them do it as it's their fault!

We're in Tampa.

I thought the FSH was the only one with the leaky anchor locker. I'm thinking about replacing mine with stainless.

Sweet looking AR210! Here's wishing you many years of fun with it!

Thanks. We'll see what kind of fix they come up with at the dealership but I like the idea of stainless.
A few more have said they have the same issue too.
