@@kayndee2011 I do the same thing except I use a small zip tie instead of dental floss. Works well.

@@victordanilo7104 you could actually do this with just about any Garmin unit. I used the Echomap 63cv but I know people that did the same exact setup with 7 inch and even 9 inch screens

@@cowlumbus That is not a fair comparison. The TR-1 is a much smaller engine in addition to not being supercharged. If you want to be fair about it, compare your SVHO to a machine with the 1.8. you will find that the fuel consumption is much closer.

Nevermind, I just saw the answer to my question in the description of your video.

@@johnm1898 you are absolutely right! 👍🏾

@@jameswilliebacon3087 I probably wouldn't run wide open before it's warmed up but it's not a requirement for you to reach top speed. I'm wondering if the supercharger may have an issue

@@johnnelson1625 I definitely had no issues with cracks. I sold the ski a few months ago and all was fine when I did. Since you have a '24, you should have a chart plotter built in. You will have to buy the map chip but it works pretty well

@@TheShipsLogg Thanks for the response. I've thought about the Yamaha chip but, I want a fish finder with a depth sounder - I like the bigger screen plus the constant depth read-out. So, did you get another ski?

@@johnnelson1625 Yup. I got a '24 FX SVHO! 😁

This video is such a great reference. Its nice seeing all of the questions, comments, and number of views. This particular crossbar mount simply bolts on without any modifications to the PWC. The mount adds strength, prevents rotation and creates device attachment points, but is not indestructible. I am aware of one person in the Chicago area with a GPS mounted on a left sided aluminum plate of mine (not a crossbar mount) on a 2019 FX. He liked to jump big waves on Lake Michigan. He ended up cracking the plastic on his dash after two years of use. I am also aware of another person in south Florida with a 2019 FX that bolted a large aluminum back splash over his Garmin and to the crossbar mount. He also had cracking. The aluminum backsplash was purchased out of NZ. I dont like those aluminum backsplash covers because they are heavy and they create a large surface for water to push against when a wave goes over the bow. Waverunners are often used in harsh marine environments. Some people like to "ride hard" and other people may find themselves in the middle of a fast developing weather storm. Making the mounting parts is just a hobby for me. I have a 2021 FX and I'm using my crossbar mount with a D RAM system up on the Great Lakes. Its wonderful. I am picky and only sell parts that I would use myself. They are rugged and strong. I would rather not sell a part then have somebody complain about cracking that was caused by dynamic forces against the thin dash plastic during use in inclement operating conditions. I would be interested in reading the post about the cracked console. Please send the post details my way when you have time, thanks.

@@porkchop659 I think we are going to make it annual because it is a lot of fun.

@@TheShipsLogg I would definitely like to go that is a trip I have wanted to take for some time. Any information would be great and I will keep an eye out!

A trip from Lake Seminole to the Gulf of Mexico would be a good trip as well. From there you can run from Appalachia Cola to Panama City Beach and if you want more all the way to Mobile Bay! Planned that trip a few years ago but never got to take it! 😢

@@jamesjeames yes, you can. I would recommend just using a good quality one. You can find a filter cross reference online by googling it.

@@Tim1963-u6n No not exactly. I guess you haven't done this trip.

@@DarkJamesallday Hopefully you will get some rain soon to make things a little better. Until then, I'm happy to help with videos!

@@detectivedavidferrante Thanks. Turns out that the SeaDoo had a loose fuse. That's what was causing it to shut down. All is good.👍🏾

Glad to hear that. Such a weird thing to occur out of the blue. Thanks for sharing the video. Love it!

@@wadesteven4270 It didn't exactly break down. He ran over some debris which got lodged in the impeller.

@@horizon2200 It looks like we will be doing this one a lot. It is one of our favorites!

@@waynefortier5978 Agreed. That's why it is considered one of the most scenic rivers in the country.

@@mefca Absolutely. Much rather do that again vs a day in the office! 🤣

@@ParrotHead1980 it was still fun after the issues with the ski. Just a minor bump in the road. That's how it works out when you are with cool people.

@@TheShipsLogg I can't wait to get my New 2025 Yamaha FX HO 1.9 so I can join you and your friends for some riding. This ParrotHead is ready to get back on the water and have some fun adventures :)

The life jacket that I wear is made by Jet Pilot. I love it because it has pockets, handles, a radio strap etc. It is great for doing rides like this. The fenders that I use are Jet Tech PWC fenders but I replaced the original straps with bungee cords. The original straps did not do a good job of holding the fenders in place. The bungees do a much better job.

@@TheShipsLogg How do you like the Map screen on your Yamaha versus a mounted GPS unit? Do you find you miss the depth finder?

@@ronrosenerger3216 The map screen on the new Yamaha is great. I do miss the depth finder a little bit but not a lot. I think it is moreso because I'm used to having that info and now I don't. I really haven't felt like I need it that much though

@@TheShipsLogg When I bought my waverunner the dealer told me they can no longer get the map card, where did you get your? I went to get a garmin map card and while installing it I found out I need a usb adapter of some kind. Thanks in advance Ron

@@ronrosenerger3216 you can order one from Enovation maps. They are already in USB form. The link is www.enovationmaps.com/

Actually, he was not messing with us. We sat there and watched the whole process of the barge and the towboat going through the locks. One of the things you have to remember about riding the Tenn. River is that commercial traffic always take precedence over recreational traffic. He actually did us a bit of a favor because there was another barge waiting to go upstream. He let us through before taking him.

You are absolutely right. It makes the potentially negative stuff mean nothing.

This is a ride you must do!

@@stuartpeck26 we had one guy on a Kawi and he did just fine. I think you would have not had a problem.

@@TheShipsLogg I saw he was on a Ultra 310 I got the STX160 the 148mm jet pump on the STX platform has nothing to prevent the pump shaft from sliding back into the crank shaft destroying the engine hence why there’s an upgrade

@@stuartpeck26 Oh, I get it now.

@@TheShipsLogg yup. I have grown fond of the Kawasaki STX hull. I just wish Kawasaki would give that platform the same treatment as the Ultra because the Ultra I have noticed gets all the love

@@stuartpeck26 Kawi makes great hulls for rough water. Probably the smoothest ride of all of them.

❤

It has been a while. I have had so many other things going on that things are crazy. I'm still here though! As far as getting the other ski back, Dana got a ride back to the launch point to get the tow vehicle. She then met us at Hales Bar when we were headed back. They took both skis out of the water there and all was good.

@@DraggonCanoe Thanks for the kind words. As it turns out, the Sea Doo is fine. After the trip was over, he discovered a fuse in the ignition system that was loose. Not sure if it came loose during this incident or if it was something that had been progressing for a while. As far as fuel burn is concerned, of course it is related to riding style and conditions. I find that I can easily go 70 to 80 miles on one tank and that is with a supercharged ski. Normally aspirated will get you a bit more.

@@TheShipsLogg I probably rode more than I was thinking at the time. Miles aren't long when they are fun!

Good point. Yamahas are really made to last as long as you take care of them. That is why I have a Yammy.

@@gcs8889 Absolutely! Better to be safe than sorry.

@@Fluterra It goes back several years when they apparently were legally challenged on the power output of their motorcycles. Since then, they have chosen not to advertise it as a selling point for pretty much anything. Even when they disclose it on title paperwork, it is understated. The title for my SVHO says 250 HP even though numerous tests of the SVHO stock engine have shown they are putting out 280 HP.

@@richardjackson1745 SeaDoo makes a nice machine and they are known to be very comfortable. For me, I chose the Yamaha because of better reliability and efficiency. Of course, how you ride makes a difference too. I am happy enough with the SVHO and I am not looking to try to squeeze out another 5 mph of top speed. While the new 325 is no faster than the SVHO as a stock machine, if you are one of those guys that plans on tuning and modding your ski to make it go as fast as possible, it seems that Sea Doo has done some of the work for you with the new engine design. That could be worth something too.

@@TheShipsLogg Thanks for the quick reply! I am a Yamaha guy at heart for their reliability, but SeaDoo rides nice as well... tough choice. Happy riding.

@@dennisdischler6541 that may be an indication that the hull material is either not consistent, too thick or both. If that is the case, you may need a transom mount transducer.

@@billyshreeve9058 That's awesome!!! Have fun with it!

@@herbertbeltran165 not it does not. It does need to be mounted in an area of the hull that is consistent though. If there are bubbles or other impurities in the hull where the transducer is mounted, it will cause a bad signal which leads to incorrect readings. If that happens, you can try a different location.

I don't know if he does but you can contact him to find out. His name is Loren and you can find him at Boondocks PWC on FB

@@SlayerHawkX 😂😂😂. I'm not a speed demon but I wouldn't mind just removing the limiter

@@catfisher420 not a bad idea but that's why you should always have two straps on the front. The strap built into the trailer is mainly for recovering the PWC from the water. Of course, it can hold the ski onto the trailer too but there should be an additional bow secure point.

@@msanc315 you are definitely not the only one asking that question. I can't figure it out either.

@@35geovanni Thanks. I appreciate that. It really is a lot of fun, plus you will meet some great people who ride.

Okay, lets address some facts here. Yes, Yamaha did have a cracking issue with their heads but that was primarily on skis that had been modified. The issue was very rare in stock skis and almost non existent in stock NA skis. I'm sure you know that when someone adds boost or make other changes to get those higher RPM's things can happen. Basically, when you do that, you are pulling more power out of the engine that the manufacturer originally designed it to make. It doesn't mean that it cant do it but it will not be as reliable. This applies to any type of an engine whether it be a jet ski, car, or boat. Furthermore, Yamaha changed the castings for the 1.8 heads starting with the 2021 models to eliminate the issue.

@@TheShipsLogg Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. This is my last reply to you. You want to troll people on here, go ahead keep trolling i will no longer participate in this discussion. Also you do not know how to listen and you are unwilling to learn. My comments on here are to help and protect those who do not know and do not anticipate a bad product from a large manufacturer. I wish i knew the truth when my SVHO had cylinder head cracked the 1st time, i thought it was one off too, but when it cracked again and 7 others around me in my area (all stock), I started doing my own research. I have seen many bone stock 1.8 L skis including mine that cracked heads, A LOT OF THEM. Again: Not uncommon. Again: on BOTH SC and NA. Again been happening for a very long time, ever since 1.8L SHO came out. . Yamaha Did Not change casting in 2021, they revised a part # and called it a change, for the head and the heads were still cracking until 2024 when 1.9L came out Nothing to do with more power , mods, heat stress or any other issues. The problem is : 1: bad head casting 2. thin block walls too thin (same as some newer outboards with thin block walls) =Simply cost cutting on alloys. .

@@andresont Typical response from someone who struggles to have a simple conversation based on facts. Also, how am I trolling somebody when it's my channel? I'm simply responding politely to comments and questions. Of course, you are probably not going to respond or even read this so I'll stop wasting my time.

@@dennisdischler6541 I sold the ski a few months ago but the transducer was still rock solid then.

@@emiliosman820 I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck on your search!

@@johnnow1 Yes it does. It shows up when following a route.

@@robberlin4813 Yessir!!! Wouldn't be without it.

@@briansmarslok5096 I try to flush each time I take it out of salt water. Usually there is a water hookup at the ramp but if not, I find one somewhere. I always carry a hose with me.

@@wagslarr I have not done that one yet. I gotta see if I can get my hands on one.

@@RichardStephens-ed5rb Awesome!! I'm glad it worked for you!
