Mine were replaced by my tech so I don't know. I believe it's just a matter of removing the valve cover and installing new tubes.

The water remaining in the engine...

Sometimes revving the engine while putting the reverse bucket down and up will dislodge the debris. I have towing insurance for these kind of issues. It isn't possible to plan for every potential...

What a great endorsement and I am also a believer in the 15F. It sounds like you had a very freakish flaw in the intake manifold. I also had a stall on my stock 2015 15F and had my mechanic put a...

It sounds like you have a good dealer and I would have taken that deal too. I would get out of the activity if I had a suitable replacement hobby. As everyone (should) know, there aren't any better...

I'd ask why it's being sold with only 9 hours and if the warranty will transfer. Yes, you can do a visual of the impeller but the scratches on the hull wouldn't concern me because the Yamaha hulls...

How many engine hours did you log? Did you have any breakdowns? Would you do it again?

What an amazing incident and thank you for posting it! This rider was prepared with a knife, which is a necessary tool to carry on the water.

If you don't have any operating symptoms, there's nothing to worry about. Consider my situation-I can't hear the beeps because of my hearing loss. I just drive until it runs out of fuel, it sinks,...

You should absolutely fog with that period of non-use. DO NOT run it periodically-this promotes condensation in the engine that will not be burned off with short run times. The main reason for...

I would just buy a different brand of mixer, like CRC, that is much cheaper than a Salt-Away branded one. I just bought a Salt-Away mixer and it leaks no matter how tight I screw the bowl on. At a...

Why does this aftermarket I/C come with an anode then?

For cost of repairs call a local dealer. The pump will start howling long before it locks up and the design of it will prevent the impeller from driving forward and damaging the crankshaft (like...

This is a broad generalization-if a ski (of any brand) is properly cleaned after use in salt water it will provide a satisfactory service life. If you can get a newer 15F with a trailer for $5K in...

If the speedometer reads around 65 you're fine but the pump may be in bad condition. A pump failure is usually caused by water intrusion which corrodes the bearings. In salt water use the wear ring...

I would NEVER use gasoline to clean something. It's a good way to blow something up, or worse, burn yourself.

I have that exact model and it is used exclusively in salt water. I bought it new in '16 and it has about 190 HR and I'm very happy with it. I flush with Salt Away but that isn't necessary. A weak...

This is the the component people have used to reinforce their tunnels.

Why don't you call the dealer and ask? This procedure is very lengthy and requires some special tools.

Kevin-I LOVE doing tours like this! We used to cruise the Minnesota river after it flooded and were able to drive through the forests. How do the ergonomics of the STX 160 compare to the STX 15F? ...

Again, this is not news to people who have owned Yamahas with the NanoXcel hull. It was such a problem on the FZ hull that a forum member made a reinforcement piece for the tunnel. I had one...

I run my skis in the Gulf of Mexico out of Fort Myers and I don't notice that much moisture but I think the key is to remove ALL salt water after EVERY ride. I only apply a rust inhibitor to the...

RBoston I hear your rant and feel your pain. At least you recognize that the dealer is doing something wrong. Dealing with poor service for our machines is just a fact of life and it will always be...

You can't know how long anything will last. But based on my experience with a '14 RXT-260 with 200 hours and a '17 RXT-260 with 350 hours the engine was the only assembly I didn'​t have an issue...

Good strategy-NEVER own a Sea-Doo that doesn't have a service contract (it's NOT a warranty). It's cheap enough to pay for coverage once the "boat show special" coverage expires. I added 4 years of...
