Thank you clean out ports

[Evil Sports]

Year 5 of my ride in the 212ss and for the first time I ingested something . Had vibration as we went to leave our docks for 4th of July festivities, tried to blast out the stuff but no luck. Opened the affected clean out port and was able to feel some wood in there. After about 30 seconds of messing around I Pulled out a 4 inch piece but still felt some stuck under the impeller. Couple burps of the throttle and we were clear . Thank you Yamaha for these useful ports!!

Those ports are absolute life savers for me. All hail the Yamaha clean out port!

New to boating last year. Sucked up my own hat first time out ever (thought I could swing around and grab it - wrong) & a rock in 1ft shallow later in first year.
Ports saved me both times. Could not imagine not having them & having to be towed to shore.
Hopefully less careless now, but wouldn't consider buying a jet without the ports.
