Using the reverse on my yamaha boat AR 210

[Felix Montanez]

Please professional boaters need your advices.
I have a new Yamaha 2019 AR 210 having problem with a broken Nozzler Deflector. The dealer insisted that I hit the boat and broke it. I know that this is not true because I am the only one who drive the boat and I know from heart That I didn't hit anything. I have to pay from my pocket $$$$ to fix it.
Today I was running my boat daylong and when use the reverse broke again. Please advices

Have you added any steering enhancements?

If so, I suspect the bottom bolt has fallen out, due to lack of enough locktite.

it’s a common enough problem. If that’s what happening, the bottom bolt on the nozzle deflector (bucket) falls out - then at some point during the day you use reverse - the pressure in the bucket pushes the bottom of the bucket back and up thereby snapping the bolt hole off at the top. Once that happens, you’re hosed until you replace the whole bucket.

If that’s not what happened, then no - it’s not a common problem. Not sure what the issue could be.

The only thought I have is that unless you have done a mod (with a possible problem as @BigAbe75 postulates) or hit something, this shouldn’t happen and is a likely indication of a factory defect.

Is there any impact damage? Why did the dealer claim you hit something? Did he provide evidence of such?

Sorry I can’t be more help. Good luck.

Just wondering which steering enhancement has this common problem?

To clarify - not a problem with the steering enhancement. It CAN be a problem with the DIY installation. Some of the older style Cobra fins used that bolt, and I believe the JBP lateral thrusters also use that bolt. Im not sure about the other JBP products.

I just recently installed the Cobra Jet fins and it made me question my installation. Thought I used the instructed amount of locktite....
