    242 Both Engines overheat New to me

    Update: Partial Success- I pulled both Exhaust manifolds completely out. Found pretty big build up of white stuff looked like calcium, some of it was still wet and mushy like a paste. I scraped out the water passages and chased them with a piece of stainless wire to make sure i knocked out the...

    What's your favorite Bourbon?

    Apologies for the delay. We (me, wife, FIL, & MIL) had a tasting that weekend with this Costco Barton Kirkland bourbon, the “usual” Costco Kirkland bourbon (that is 107 proof), and the Basil Hayden 10 year. We all had them neat #3, The reg Costco was described as gasoline, not good neat, save...

    Battery Switch

    I would do it simpler than that.....on odd number days, set it to #1, and keep it there. On even number days, set it to #2 and leave it there the whole trip. if you run the battery low, you have a backup battery to switch to if you need it. Want to make sure you are exercising both batteries...

    Low voltage house battery only on float mode

    #1, get out your manual and start reading it. Best source of truth out there. #2, Yamaha doesn't send boats with batteries, it's up to the dealers to put in something decent, or in many cases, something junky. #3, Your motors don't have an alternator, they have stators to recharge the...

    Golfers.......Need some help with new clubs.....

    Aight guys, I know I'm not the only one that plays here. Need some advice for a n00b on a new set of clubs. I played "some" in middle and high school. Parents were into it, grandfather was into it. It never stuck for me. Fast forward until about 5 years ago and I picked up a crappy craigslist...

    Yamaha AR210 Bimini model year differences

    Last week, I let someone borrow my boat and they screwed up the bimini and they're paying to replace it. Of course the 2022 parts are all on back order until September 2023. Not wanting to go the whole summer without some type of shade on the boat so trying to figure out if older model year...

    Rear Clean out access hatch latch cam bar broke

    Did you measure end to end or center of hole to end? I measured 2 1/4” for total length so I ordered the 226SO part #.

    Repairing and Overhauling a 2010 242 LS (pic heavy)

    @Ronnie doesn’t have the late model jet nozzles that direct some of the reverse flow to the sides, which as I understand it is part of the TDE. As Will at JBP described it, using the no wake mode switch to increase the rpm’s while the levers are in the TDE position is what makes it work better...

    Can’t decide between two boats, same model, same price

    I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the #2 boat bandwagon just yet. I seem to remember a new member here recently asking about a boat that had sat in saltwater for a year. If that were the case, would you still pick Boat #2? I guess my point is that boat #1 could be the better buy depending on how...

    Started wet sanding the hull today. Oxidization was very noticeable, weather is nice and the boat batteries are dead so it’s a perfect day to tackle this job, charge the batteries and ditch the IL registration #’s for AL ones.

    Generic LiFePo Battery Question......

    @Bruce ~15min of pretty consistent full throttle use brought us down to the below numbers 12.87 RS 13.25 LS 26.14 Combined I'm pretty certain it's a 24V 400W 350W motor in there. It has two settings but only one works (not sure why), so it might be reduced power. *edit* It's a 350W motor...
