This is the FIRST Inspection you need to do when buying a used Yamaha JetBoat. Here's a playlist for other boat maintenance tips: • Boat Maintenance Pro Tips For more information about Yamaha JetBoats, check out JetBoatPilot.com
Would you guys be able to do a video on replacing steering/throttle cables for these boats? After being in salt water for only 1 season I was told they needed to be replaced in my 212x. Would cost me thousands, but heard it was fairly easy to do yourself. Thanks for all the helpful videos you guys upload. Makes boat owning much less of a headache
We could do one. We have not been able to get a boat in house that was in need but will try to focus on this as it is a big time need in the jet boat community.
I just had to replace my steering cable on my 2019 242x it was completely frozen after not using the boat for about 2 months. It cost me $2,400, not a cheap repair
You seem like a good dude! I hope to be buying a Yamaha jet boat in the near future. Good to know you're out there as a resource. Thanks. ?- If a boat was used in freshwater only, would the anode still degrade if it wasn't flushed properly? Thx
So that must be a regular maintenance item that the dealer would change out during a particular hour service? Never heard of this, thanks for the info!
Definitely a good idea but not 100% mandatory if you flush correctly. Definitely a benefit to using it though. We'll shoot a video soon highlighting it.
@@josephviveros5980 not much really. I typically tell boaters to run the boat hard on the first outing and then immediately after change the oil and spark plugs. Also fill the tank with fresh gas if its not full and treated with fuel stabilizer already.
@@JetBoatPilot thank you. This is not an easy job! Working on 2019 242 Limited S. A ratchet box wrench is useful. I’m assuming the bolt hast to come all the way out. Planning to do this soon. Not looking forward to it.
If this anode is corroded but still some anode material there the system will still have the protection the anode provides. However, when the anode does wear away electrolysis can begin to cause unwanted corrosion inside the engine. The anode will wear away quicker if the engine is not flushed after each salt water use.
@@WinnersMind67 likely not since salt water is what facilities the electrolysis necessary to corrode the anode. Still likely a 200-300 hour inspection on fresh water engines too, just to be extra cautious.
