I’m a new owner of a Yamaha AR195 and have never owned boats previously. Outside of purchasing essentials for the boat, I was curious if anyone had items that they would recommend picking up for the boat either for emergencies, ease of use, etc. Appreciate any advice!
 
Stainless steel boat buckles for the trailer, good quality fenders (throw out the hull hugger junk that probably came with the boat), Navionics app for your phone or a chartplotter, Saltaway for flushing engine if used in saltwater, Cobrajet fins for increased tracking at all speeds , Yamalube or similar product to spray down metal components to prevent rust and a good gas additive. If you have an unlimited about of cash or credit the list can go on forever. Enjoy the boat!!!!!
