Pissers

[danielcasey01]

Hi Everyone--
I have a 2008 SX 230 and when putting the finishing touches on prior to launch tomorrow, I noticed two of the "pisser" covers are missing from exterior of boat. Two questions:
1. OK to run the boat with the covers?
2. What are they actually called so I can order the correct parts (I have always called them pissers).
Thank you in advance,
Dan

Yes, you can run without them. There is a small chance if broken (they are plastic crap) they can fall inside, thus filling the hull with your coolant water.

They are called water bypass, or coolant bypass. Some of the nicest ones are from ADA Racing. But the generic chinese ones on Amazon work fine. The quality of the anodizing is the biggest difference.

Keep in mind, they do come in few sizes, but either work. One is small and you should heat the hose to stretch it, one is too big and you just have to tighten up the hose clamp more. But both sizes work. You can also go 90 degree, 45 or straight.

Good luck!

Thank you for the response. It looks like they simply screw into the hull. Is there more to this than it appears to me?

Yes they are threaded for a nut on the backside. This is a two person job and the one on the inside needs long arms or be a little person.

Ha ha, I have neither someone with long arms or know a little person but will figure it out! So, in the meantime, let the bilge take care of the water?
Also, I looked on Amazon and don't see anything that looks remotely close to what I have. Any suggestions.
Biffdotorg, thank you thank you thank you!! Love the Jetboaters.net community!

Water Bypass is the search, but don’t by shy about searching boat pisser.

Don’t be afraid of sticking your head inside the cabinet behind the captains chair, they are right there. i joke about a little person, but I am a big guy and did it while my buddy held the bypass outside the hull while on the lift. it’s not hard.

 

[danielcasey01]

Thanks. Is there one pisser line for each engine?

 

[biffdotorg]

yes, one per engine, and one for the bilge pump (bit larger) If going for a particular color anodized, you may want to do all three.

Just saw your suggestion to buy these from ADA racing. I’m glad I did because mine are broken too (2011 242 Limited). However, the description says that they are NOT for full size Yamaha boats. Will it still work? Or should I use the Amazon ones that you posted a few replies later?

The only difference between boat and ski would be thickness of hull, or possibly the diameter of the line. Same engine.

So your best bet would be to pull the old and measure the length of the stem and diameter. That's the only thing that would make them work or not work as it has zero function or moving parts other than being a fixture attached to the hull. If it fits, it works.

Good luck,

I noticed last weekend my boat had hit the dock hard, and the 2 rear pissers were busted, one was throwing water inside the boat.

I saw the aluminum replacements, but chickened out thinking if it hit hard again it would break the boat vs the plastic piece in the future, so plastic replacement for me. Access was painful via the rear side cover from inside the engine compartment.

Cheapest with shipping was partzilla via eBay.

Best of luck.
