I had wondered how it turned out.

How are you viewing this GH web site?

Looks the same as always to me using Safari on iPad

Aside from the accumulated running hours numbers, actual current mechanical condition is probably a better indicator of mechanical failure risk. Which is what you are really thinking when you are...

More than once we have floated a hull into very shallow water, then rolled the hull onto one side. Two or more people hold the hull on its side while someone uses tools to extract the rope or...

Does the carbon ring need water flow or merely the presence of water to work properly?

Would it be possible to create a small water feed connection directly into the side of the driveshaft area...

Installing sponsons on a hull that never had them is going to involve a lot of experimentation. How low, how far back, what angle?

You may end up with a lot of experimental mounting holes as you...

We have two 2017 GP1800, not the new FX being shown in this thread.

We found the OEM Yamaha cover for GP1800, even with the elastic cord pulled super tight, just could not maintain sufficient...

Welcome.

Photos of the installed covers? Especially around the rear and sides looking upwards.

I have not inspected a 2021 FX Yamaha cover but I expect the cover fits down over the rub rail...

Not sure exactly what you mean by ‘coolant hose’ but a double wall mesh reinforced rubber hose should be just fine.

The peak water pressure coming from the jet pump is something well below 100...

Where would the wrap end?
How would the edges be kept from raising?

The hull bottom has the intake grate area, contours and raised strake ridges.

The water pressure and flow are very high in...

You only looking at brand new current model year, correct?

So 2021 GP1800R SVHO.


Have you ridden the current generation GP1800R SVHO?

2015-2018 VXR (and GP1800) have bolts that thread up from the intake grate on the hull bottom into cast aluminum ‘inserts’ inside the hull. There are no nuts inside the hull. On those years the hull...

I was not aware of the Gen-2 Riva rideplate for GP1800.
Extended overall length and has a skeg. Interesting.

Have you applied any anti-corrosion treatment to the metal surfaces inside the hull?

I applied a coating of CRC Heavy Duty anti-corrosion spray (not CRC-56) to my entire SVHO...

Do not confuse intake grate with ride plate. Riva intake grate exists in Gen 1 and Gen 2 forms.

There is just one Riva ride plate for these hulls.
There are two Yamaha OEM ride plates, depending...

2015 through 2018 VXR (and similar) hulls are susceptible to cracking around the bolt holes for the intake grate. This mostly happens on the SVHO examples but can also happen with the 1.8 liter...

If you cannot fix the leak by checking things and resealing, you may need to mount an action camera and LED light in the hull. Then go for test rides.

When riding there is pressurized water inside...

Even on the SVHO motor an aftermarket air intake ony has a modest effect, and that engine inhales a lot more air than the HO. I am doubting on the HO engine a change of the air intake is going to be...

I like the Battery Tender products overall. I do find that the less expensive Battery Tender models tend to omit features that can diminish the care the battery actually receives.

Does the dash display a warning code/number when it first alarms?

Three engine shutdown, wait, then restart cycles is normal for clearing the dash warning for an OLD code, a problem...
