Regards. I would like to know if the engine has a filter so that when the water enters it can hold all the small garbage?

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
@JetBoatPilot Жыл бұрын
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
@JetBoatPilot9 ай бұрын
Not as fast as if it were in salt water, but yes over time it will degrade.

What are your thoughts on Salt-Away and how do you suggest using it for flushing?
@JetBoatPilot Жыл бұрын
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.

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!

Is this anode in the same location roughly for all Yamaha jet boat engine iterations...MR1, TR1, etc? tks!
Not really. That job can get out of hand quickly. Could have to pull the engine apart to get it out.

What is the job of the anode? Thanks
@JetBoatPilot10 ай бұрын
Helps to prevent corrosion on critical components. It's a sacrificial anode.

None that we've done. It can be done but with caution.

@@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.

What will the engines do if this anode is corroded? Any big out liars?
@JetBoatPilot Жыл бұрын
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.
@JetBoatPilot Жыл бұрын
@@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.
