When you moving to FL? Love your videos from one New Yorker to the Next!
Ha, thanks. I already own a condo in Delray Beach and after retiring next year will likely snow bird for a while. Not sure if boating will be limited to Long Island, we'll see.
Leo what month do you winterize your boat ? do you fill and stabil the tank or store empty , also the small fuel vent screw do you tighten it in for winter or leave it lose to vent ? thnx
As a fisherman I usually don't put her away until November, it depends. I always have fuel stabilizer in my fuel and leave the tank close to full. Do not touch the venting system, leave it be. My video should help with other tips: ruclips.net/video/n5XsbIGUKEo/видео.htmlsi=E6d3j9K7knOuKc0O

I feel so dumb never thought to make a hull hugger like that great idea!
Ha, don't feel dumb, but it does work!
It's now been close to a year.... How are the Solas Impellor Housings working out? I'm about ready to completely build my jet pumps and would like to know how it all worked out for you.
So far so good. No sign of any wear or problems, pump is still quiet. It's solid Stainless, all good.
Hi please can you help I have put in a course to follow but there are two hazards on the way,how can I find out what they are thanks
Just move the map until the cross-hairs are on the hazard and click the question mark icon.
Hey Leon Confirmed!!.. I had an experience last Memorial Day on my SX190. I didn’t noticed that I was idling over some Sargasso, which blocked the strainer and triggered the overheat alarm. I jumped in the water, cleaned out the strainer from the back of the jet pump, and restarted it, but the alarm kept going off. I did this a few times with no luck, so I called a towing service. The tow company was super busy that day and took forever to arrive. They were towing us at least 15 mph, which I later found out could damage my engine! But before that I took precaution and I used the same pliers to clamp that hose, and put the throttle forward also. When I got home, I ran the engine on a hose for a few minutes, the alarm keep going off but noticing that the water is coming out from correct spots, and after a restart the alarm finally stopped. I've since taken it out around Miami a bunch of times with no issues. Just wanted to share my story and confirm that your recommendation really works - 100% proven!
Good to know! Wow close call with them towing you that fast. It's not easy to get them to slow down. I'm glad it all worked out for you!
😂
You are AWESOME!
Best explanation I have seen on this subject.
Thanks Gabe! I hope it helps some folks.
Captain Leon - me again. I have a 2015 AR190 Shorlander single axle. I have 335 lbs on the tongue weight. is this too much or too little?
Hi Chad, that boat weighs close to 2500-3000 lbs. loaded. Tongue weight should be between 250-300lbs. You are fine where you are, it's close. If you slide the winch stand back an inch on the trailer tongue you will lesson tongue weight if you feel you must.
Would you experiment with premium gas and maybe fuel additive?
I tried Premium once, had no effect, just a waste of money, unless required with supercharged engine. I use StarTron fuel additive with every fill up.
Iridium plugs will last 3+ times as long as those copper oem plugs before needing to be changed
Why some trailers have hangers and some don't
No sure?
If you are looking at buying these things for your boat, DON'T!! I put these things on my brand new aluminum trailer to hold my boat, thinking that all f the "reviews" were good. After the VERY FIRST trip to the water, the next time out they became hard to release. I then took them off, sprayed them inside with corrosion X, lithium grease and even MAX WAX!! They made three trips to the water, after the third trip I had to cut the straps with my knife to release my boat from the trailer. I currently have two giant chunks of rusted together garbage to show for my money. DO NOT BUY, unless you like throwing your money away.
Great video 💪🏻
Thanks Mark!
Well done. Great video and hilarious when you said 'by the way, I have no idea what I'm doing'. lol.
Thanks... but there was some truth to it!
That looks like a heck of a party!!
If you were there it would have been even better :).
I really love the bay!
Had such a blast this year! Glad you guys finally could make it!!
It was such a blast!!
Capt , when was this ? Do you do this every year ?
Our first time doing it but they do hold it every year. Fun time!
Looks like a great time
It was! Thanks
Hey thank you! Your videos are great and very helpful. I was interested in doing the same thing to mine and was wondering if I buy the impeller housing does it come with a new sleeve? I know some guys just replace the sleeve when they have a problem.
I meant to say wear ring or insert
@@mikelucarello7310 the new Solas housing is a solid one piece unit. No removable sleeve is needed. Its designed to be a one time fix for life.
Capt, that Yamaha swimdeck stern is perfect for fishing and each to hose off. Love my sx190 too.
Agreed!
Leon I have a 2000 seedoo challenger v6 two stroke rebuilt last summer your spinning 8k rpm in a 4 stroke what’s your manual say seems high mine is 6k at 50mph for a 2 stroke max rpm 6700 ✌️
7800 rpm is normal for the 1.8 ltr. 4 cycle engine. I don't run it that high for too long. Nothing mentioned in the manual regarding top RPM that Ive seen.
Did the kit you bought come with everything you needed to do the job? Looking at the photo of the kit on their website, I don't see the piece that mounts to the bunk as part of that kit. Did you have to buy that separately?
Yes sir, I believe I had to purchase the bracket that mounts to the bunk separately. Not too expensive.
Hello Capt. Leon, I replaced the wearing with the solas and OEM impeller. You mentioned at the end that it took a little while for some noises to clear up. How long did that take? I just did that job earlier today and I turned it on and it's definitely not smooth I torqued everything down so I can't imagine what it could be but it definitely sounds like some rub is taking place somewhere. Any thoughts? It's just this heartening after doing all this work not what I thought it would sound like. Thanks again.
Don't be disheartened, I'm not sure how long it took but maybe it needs to seat itself after a WOT run. Have you taken it out yet on the water?
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore hey Capt, no I just did today and running it with hose water. Ok thanks for the confidence brother 🙏🙏🙏
Boeshield RustFree Rust and Stain Remover comes in a full size bottle. I don't need to scrub it with rust stains shown in video. It's what most people use.
Good to know.. thanks!
Sometimes it doesn’t have to be expensive for it to work! Boat looked great last time I saw it! 😊
That bottle couldn’t be more from china lol
Not only works on rust stains but effective for halitosis as well! Great video Cap'n, as always.
Hi capt , I’m a new subscriber to your Channel. Very informative thanks. Im getting set to retire and I’m seriously considering making an investment in a new Yamaha. Question? Can I attach a battery tender to shore power and hook it up to my house battery while docked so I can play music, hang on the boat with lights running without draining the batteries? I don’t think Yamaha boats are set up to have shore power right ?
Hey Dave, I'm hoping to be retired before long myself! You're right, we have no shore power option on these boats. They are designed to be trailered and not wet slipped. If you're not running high wattage amps you should be able to listen to music and enjoy the boat on battery power for quite a while on a two battery set up. If you're not driving around enough to recharge the battery I would plug into a battery tender or NOCO unit whenever possible. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
Dorky Channel!
Excellent! Dorky was my goal! Thanks for watching.
Help Captain, do those cables sometimes get bent back down under there. My throttle is stiff due to my boat sucking a wakeboard rope got sucked under. I think the rope pulled the cable rod or bent the rod to the bucket.
I don't see how sucking in a rope would do that. But while on the trailer have someone articulate the bucket up and down while you observe from the rear. Hope that helps.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore yes I bent the the cable rod back, I’m good now thanks. I’m guessing when the rope was getting pulled wrapped tight behind the bucket with the force of getting sucked in, it bent it so it made the throttle stiff. Keep makes videos like this Capt.

If something calls for molybdenum grease, definitely use it. It’s better for gears. Source: “dude just trust me”.
Thanks...lol. I'll keep that in mind.
Great video as always. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I may attempt this project after this season.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it and I hope I helps.
Hope you organize a eastcoast Yamapaluza..😊

From your friends north of the border, outstanding work and very informative! Bravo!!
Thanks Kevin, I truly appreciate the compliment!
Amazing video, as usual... thank you for taking the time to illustrate the rest of us...
ever have the comm error on your dash? how to fix it?
Hey Steve, I never have, sorry. Maybe disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
Professor Leon's class is in session. Take notes kids.
We will have a quiz this weekend!... lol
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore hahaha dang
Great information. And showing the entire water path was very helpful as well.
Thanks Jason!
Thanks Capt for sharing. Very helpful. I wish there was a way to just block water from entering the pump area all together, this way we could leave the boats in the water safely. Be safe and God Bless!
Thanks Rommel I agree, it would make things easier.
Capt, say it isn't so! What happened that you had to be towed in? I installed a shut of valve so I can kill that sea water coolant line. I also flush in slip. Hope your beautiful jet boat is ok.
Nothing major, was last year, battery issue.
@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore yeah I saw your battery video on that issue last year.
Great video as always! I have an AR 250 so if one engine fails, I'd hope that I could use my other engine to get back to the dock. If I clamp off the failed engine can I go faster, maybe 20 mph?
Honestly, I wouldn't chance it. Follow the manual and the hose clamp just adds peace of mind. Thanks for the compliment!
When I had to limp back to the dock on one engine on my 240, it was imperative that I clamped off the dead engine. The water current, waves, and distance I had to travel wasn’t feasible to stay at “no wake”. I wasn’t barreling back, but I had to go over 5mph to maintain a safe course home. $5 vs $15k, I’ll take the clamp any day!! 😁 Thanks for another quality video Leon!
Thank you sir!
Very informative! I agree, always clamp that hose when moving faster than no wake! 👍🏻👍🏻
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Captain Leon I still working on week two trying to scrape the cavity Nasty and a pain in the buck. But this vide help me to familiarize myself with the process.
Oh boy, well don't give up you will get it!
