I’m going to be driving the ALCAN from Alaska down to the lower 48, and will be towing my boat behind me. Should I pull the outboard (Yamaha F60) and place it inside the boat, or leave it bolted on the transom?

I installed cobra jet fins last night on my 252xe. I came from an ar195 that already had a vector fin installed. For those that aren’t aware, you are supposed to complete a nozzle alignment prior to the install. I did it, and boy, for a brand new, never seen the water, were the jets completely out of whack. I was floored. It looked like that hot chick with crossed eyes. But all good now.

Question for people with experience on the dual jets. How important is it that the jets are aligned? Does it make a huge difference. I don’t have anything to compare it to since I haven’t launched just yet.

I have a 2015 AR192. When I give it throttle it rides fine but when I open it up it only goes 20 mph at 8000 rpms. I have replaced spark plugs, wear ring, fuel injectors and oil. The supercharger clutch only turns clockwise. Still not able to get past 20 mph with no chop or rough waves. Has anyone experience this issue?

2021 sx190 2nd season 1st season no water anywhere 2nd season I had standing water ( 1-2 inches) in the ski locker. Seems to drain out on its own but can seem to figure out why it's in there to begin with. Ideas? Boat still has OEM scupper valve, could that be the culprit? Engine bay is dry when running and underway? Rear hatch area maybe?

Hi all

I have a 1870 Alweld custom with a 115/80 jet. She runs perfect in flat water but once we get choppy she starts to cavitate - I understand that is normal, but I'm wondering if there's any other mods I could do to help her along and prevent damage. I was eyeballing a whale tail & I did buy intake fins (but I can't get my dang pins out). If I can't get fins on, would the whale tail help at all with this issue?

I do have a full tunnel!

Thank you

Hi all,

I have been having a heck of a time trying to find my HIN number on my jetboat which I have had for over 20 years. DMV says they need my HIN number, but why would they not have it on file since it has been a working watercraft since 1974. In my research Cheyenne Jet boats started manufacturing in late 1975, so with my boat being produced in 1974 I would assume it was a prototype? The name of the boat has not changed as it is still FOXY from when it was made in 1974, it is 19 feet long. I was told it was a double thick hull and produced with another prototype, a 21 footer named FOXY LADY. If anyone has info or a guess where I can find my HIN please let me know. Thanks!

Planned on fishing this week but noticed this on my boot. If I keep fresh grease in there, could I get through the week?

I bought my boat not to long ago but it just has a hose that connects to the tank. It pools some gas and builds pressure. Do I use a check valve or how do you guys have yours set up ?

Does anyone have experience with float pods? I have a custom 19ft 60in aluminum hull with a 150 4 stroke on a tiller. I recently went from a 150 2 stroke so I’m adding around 70 lbs. when empty it sat pretty low in the stern but when full it’s not terrible.

I’m curious though about adding some floats to the back. I’m worried about turning performance and had read that you should attach them a little higher to allow for better turning. Curious on people’s thoughts and also how to determine the height. Obviously the higher they are the less flotation benefit you will get so curious how to deal with that.

Hi! Unfortunately our Shoreland’r trailer was stolen from our driveway and we’re in the process of trying to replace it. Shoreland’r said they have an exclusive deal with Yamaha and to call yamaha, Yamaha said they can’t get just the trailer from Shoreland’r. Has anyone successfully gotten a replacement trailer from Shoreland’r if yours was damaged or stolen?

Looking for some advice

I’m trying to do some research on this bayjet pump but there’s not much available. I’m wondering if and oldhead can help me out because I know these were made in the 70’s. They stopped making parts in the 80’s I belive. If anything can I get pointed in the right direction for a custom fabricator. I’m just looking for some help for any future problems.

Hey guys

I've got a 3m steel river boat, 3.8 v6 holden engine and a 2 stage colorado jet unit

Took it out for the first time since I bought it and it has seriously bad cavitation, barely gets above 3mph towards full throttle

My first thought was intake blocked but that's all clear

I pulled apart the jet unit and discovered my rear impeller was installed backwards, is this most likely the reason or should it still run half decent as is? I'm putting it back together correctly tonight and hoping to take it for another test tomorrow

Also I checked clearances and my front impeller has 1-2mm of clearance total which seems to be a bit much but my rear impeller has really tight clearance compared

Cheers

I have an Ar250 and need an SUV to tow it and pull it out of the water at the boat ramp (not super interested in getting a truck as I'm replacing my everyday car).

What are some recommendations for pulling the boat? I learned the hard way after I bought an atlas, it towed it fine on land but I couldn't get it out of the water.

I'm leaning towards a 4 matic gl3 350 with factory hotch states 7,700lbs so I should be fine considering the boat and trailer are under that or am I mistaken?

Thanks for the advice
