Furthermore, I believe that it is always better to talk about hourly consumption (gallons per hour) at a constant rpm, what comes next is a consequence of other factors (distance traveled and time which can be different based on sea conditions and currents ). At constant rpm the turbo always wins 👍🏻

Thanks very much. In the last few days I have listened to many videos and asked who consumed more: Sea-Doo Explorer 170 or Sea Do look Explorer 230. Everyone always replied that if I wanted to do a lot of miles I would have to buy the Explorer 170 otherwise I would have consumed a lot moreover. You're right, at constant speed a supercharged engine consumes a little less than a naturally aspirated engine. This is also the case with cars and trucks. This can be seen especially with trucks which are all turbodiesel, they are so precisely because they always travel at a constant speed and at a constant speed the turbos perform better. 👍🏻

I went looking at the new FX models today and they changed the cup holder design. I can't believe they took away the 3 bolt holes per cup holder it makes no sense why Yamaha makes it difficult to add a GPS unit to their Skis.

It needs a blow off valve the same way almost if not every supercharge vehicle or turbo charge need one. If it don’t come wishbone and u put one on it always have a benefit , the reason u need one is because when u are in the throttle and u let off all that back pressure put stress on the turbo or supercharge .
@TheShipsLogg 11 күн бұрын
@@1989rrichard It is true that a lot of forced induction engines need them but not necessarily all. It depends on the engine and the amount of boost that the turbo/supercharger can create. That being said, adding a blow off valve when you don't really need one won't really hurt anything so you may choose to do it simply as a precaution.

I wish they would put a 2000cc inline-six ~ bore/stroke 75.15mm x 75.15mm x Six = 2000cc An inline-six is perfectly balanced, if they made their hull longer it would accommodate the new engine and be more stable on bumpy waters.
