older ar230 new owner this may

[zipper]

Hello Everyone,

My wife and i purchased our yamaha in may 2016, found this forum shortly thereafter. Have gleaned a lot of useful info from u folks. I did a few early post as we were getting used to our new boat. I guess i put the cart before the horse and did not introduce myself before i posted. Oops sorry. We are having a lot of fun adding to the boat.

glad to have you on board, be sure to look at the FAQ tab at the top of the page,

be careful of you scupper valve and changing the #3 spark plug (it can get rusted/seized and easily snap off).

Welcome to the 230 club!

Thanks all...the no.# 3 spark plug rusting and snapping off sounds alot like the glow plugs on my 06 duramax.

230 s are great boats. MR1s are proven reliable

I love our 230, the mr-1 engines have performed very well. The boat's twin jets allow me to practically turn on a dime while backing into my slip.
