Nice video. One addition you could have added to help manage water in that tray would be to add a check valve on the drain hose. That way when you come off plane and the water rushed back through the tubing it can’t enter to the wet storage tray from that direction but it would still allow for water to pass from the top of the tray down through the exit fitting.

Good job but knowing how humid that area is, I would have used synthetic decking instead if you still prefer the extra thick bite on the screws. Another option is taping the bottom side of the screw holes and fill with epoxy. Let dry and drill new pilot holes for the screws..

Did you do a water test on the rubber gasket? Fill the tray deck with water and see if it holds fully submerged? I’m Thinking of doing this to mine as water gets past my plug and leaks into my bilge occasionally.

Great videos on Yamaha jet boats captain Leon, have a question especially on Yamaha jet boats can u leave them in a fresh water lake for a summer season say may to sept without having to trailer them out everyday I know this is a great debate and it’s not recommended but no one has any real answers only vague opinions. Thanks for the content.
@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Жыл бұрын
Thanks Elvis. So the issue with wet-slipping these boats for extended periods of time is growth begins to develop under the boat. While it is fresh water, and better than salt water, growth still develops. This growth will impact the smooth flow of water into the intake grate and into the jet pump. I would experiment by leaving it in for short periods of time and then pull it out after a few days or a week and inspect. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

As always, fantastic informative video Captain Leon! I do have a question if I may. I have a 2022 SX195, and have noticed lately that my bilge pump kicks in when I slow down as I come to a stop and pumps water for 5-6 seconds (my second season with this boat, didn't notice this the first year). I don't think it's from water coming over the swim platform. You certainly mentioned a few components to pay attention to in this video, but from your experience with these boats, wondering if you have any ideas where this water intrusion could be happening? Thank you so much.
@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Жыл бұрын
Thanks Medhi. When you come to a stop, any water in the rear most bilge area rushes forward through channels into the engine compartment area and the bilge will be able to pump it out then. It does sound like water is getting in the boat which is normal if it's minimal. When you pull the drain plugs at the end of the day does water come out? Try parking on an incline with the bow up and get it all to drain out. You can even use a shop vac through the hatch cover if needed. Get it good and dry and take it out and observe with a flash light looking through the hatch covers for anything obvious. You may need to re-silicone some areas.

Hi Captain, I finally went into the Bilge area to check a leak I was having because of your video. I noticed this weekend I had some water leaking through the bottom left hand corner of the engine compartment hatch into the deck area. The leak happens when I slow down from speeds of 15mph and higher. The engine compartment, bilge area and fuel compartment area are all bone dry. I did notice the insulation lining the top of the engine hatch was quite damp and had a slow drip when the hatch was in the up position. Any thoughts or recommendations to look for? Thanks again. Jeff
@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Жыл бұрын
Hi Jeff, not really understanding. You describe a leak onto the deck area when you slow down? Ive seen water slush around in the engine compartment when slowing down fast, but nothing comes up into the deck area.
@jeffpelton1696 Жыл бұрын
Captain, Thank you for the response. I know it’s hard to explain. I don’t have any water in the engine compartment. It’s almost like it rushes down the outside groove/ channel of the engine hatch and onto the deck floor. I posted a 9 second short to my page. It’s the only video I ever posted so it should be easy to find if you wouldn’t mind taking a look. Appreciate all the help. Best, Jeff
