The kids haven’t started asking to borrow the boat for their own social purposes yet?629 hours as of last October when I put it away. All the kids have moved away so the hours are not piling up now.
@Quad The middle one and her husband just built a house in Texas with a boat garage attached that just happens to fit our 212X. I suspect the hours will continue to climb again soon.The kids haven’t started asking to borrow the boat for their own social purposes yet?
no engine maintenance other than plugs every 2-3 yrs and oil &oil filters every year. Impeller bearings (X2)both sides In 2016, at the 10yr, 700 hr mark. I had a”Yamaha “ mechanic check my valve clearances in 2010 as recommended by Service manual at 250 hrs. Big mistake, bad idea , I don’t recommend messing with it! He didn’t use new O-rings when reinstalling the cooling tube in the valve cover.....but fortunately I saw it starting to leak immediately first time starting up@Impelled What engine maintenance have you had to do? I remember the valve shim disaster. Have you replaced anything expensive?
@Impelled are you in a slip at alum creek or are you trailering? Additionally, who did the bearing work in the Columbus area? I estimate I'm somewhere around 450 hours on by 07 SX230.no engine maintenance other than plugs every 2-3 yrs and oil &oil filters every year.
