The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

[oramac]

Installed some infinity speakers in the rear deck of my SX210. Gotta add another amp and zone control and wire it all up next.

 

[YoDaddy292]

Speakers and a sub. Also thought a Hydrophase ridesteady would be good too. Finally wrapped it all up for the fun stuff and just need to change spark plugs and oil.

Hopefully the new Carlisle Radials I got are better.

They've got good reviews

Hope the radials are better - I went through 2 sets of the bias ply in 1.5 years.

Looks like your axles are out of alignment. Wear is all on one side--that is typically not the tire's fault. See Trailer Axle Alignment/Tire Wear Made Easy - Centreville Trailer Parts

Yea, initially thought same thing. went through back and forth with dealer, trailer and tire companies. End result - trailer is fine. Been running radials on it and absolutely no problems tires looks great after more miles than all the bias sets combined. The good news is Carslile did sent me a couple sets of the bias in the process for free

Sorry for the duplication - meant to post to the “Official” thread. Lol
Not exactly the boat, but I cleaned the inside of the the boat cover today. There was some mildew spots and stains from pooling hurricane water. They cleaned up nicely. I previously cleaned the outside and used 303 Fabric Guard to refresh the material. The factory cover is really high quality. I just wish it was easier to install. I think a two-piece design with velcro would be much easier to handle.
Any tips on installing are welcome.

No pics but I also replaced the trolling motor quick disconnect receptacle. Seems the “spring” device inside the receptacle broke and the plug wouldn’t lock in and make a good connection. Easy peasy job. $25 instead of $150 to upgrade to the Minn-Kota version. We will see how long this one lasts.

 

[Possum]

Installed a new bow light

Lots of polishing to hide where the old decals were (mostly water spots were the problem)

Replaced the house battery, corrected the amp wiring, moved the batteries around to get more space, and put them in battery boxes

Got a game plan for the new logos

Here's a mock up

Finally installed my Seadeck Cockpit kit I got from JBP last October. (40% discount on leftover inventory) Removed carpet and snaps at the end of last yr. Was waiting for some warm weather. I like it so much better. Carpet was getting pretty worn

 

[HangOutdoors]

Putting on rocket launchers and wake board rack, and flag holder, for the season.

Finally got around to putting the boats name on. Seems a bit busy with the naked feet only, but I will wait and see if it bugs me or not.



Interesting story to this name. When my good buddy first bought his boat, we took it out and went to Bayside, down in S.Fl. It was one of his first times approaching a dock and if you know Bayside it can get busy. So he was coming in a little hot and the deckhand stuck out his foot to try and slow down the boat right before we smacked the dock. But the one thing that always sticks in our mind is how the deckhand yelled out "Whoaa Capt'n" just as we hit the dock.

Did you make that yourself?

 

[TreeRX]

Hub caps and spare tire cover. Easier than painting the wheels and pretty cheap at $40. Gonna move the spare over to the other side soon.

Is that a Yamaha mooring cover that the dealer just put their logo on, or is it an aftermarket cover?

Nope.

 

[The Canuck]

Upgraded the "pissers" and the bilge pump hole

Still need to buff out some dock rashes...

That's the yamaha mooring cover. Some dealers put their logo on it. To me they better give me one hell of a discount to advertise for them. Honestly I'd personally just skip buying it from them and order one online that doesn't have that mess. I don't like free advertisement for dealers. First thing I do when I buy a car is rip off anything that has a dealer name on it. Same with my boat. It had a dealer sticker on it and I pulled it off as soon as I got home.

It looks like you need an OEM Yamaha boat cover. If you’re interested let me know. I have one for sale in the box. PM me

did you have to modify the holes to install those new pissers and if you can send some info of where did you purchase them from? You will be very helpful.
