Removing visibility spout from Yamaha waverunner 2023 GP1800R

How to remove visibility spout from Yamaha waverunner. 2023 GP1800R is the watercraft shown but will work on almost all waverunners.

This was the 1st thing I did when I got my GP. I was in a no wake zone with my wife on the back and a tail wind. She got soaked.

[@Watercraftshack]

I think it should come from the factory with shutoff valve

[@tommytsadventures]

@@Watercraftshack I agree, give you options to run with or without on cold windy days.

I love the roostertail that my VX Cruiser makes. It gets over twelve feet high, and lets everybody know that I'm coming, so kindly move out of my way. :)

[@Watercraftshack]

Keep it on!

[@dreknotz1996]

I have always been curious about the potential effects of removing the visibility spout on the flow of water to the intercooler and engine block, and whether this modification could lead to an improvement in thermal efficiency.

[@Watercraftshack]

I doubt it would have any effect on cooling as it’s not connected to the cooling circuit.

[@mikehuet8412]

Thank you. Once the hose is pulled off, where does the flow of water go?

[@Watercraftshack]

Just sprays under the hull but doesn’t damage anything

[@chrisburger4518]

Could also be capped off.

[@Watercraftshack]

@@chrisburger4518 yes that’s a good idea too

[@whotube357]

I would put a cap on the hose barb or plug the hose,hose clamp, and secure it.

[@alsavage6320]

Question now would that void your warranty if it's a brand new unit

[@Watercraftshack]

No it will not, warranty will still be good!

[@900stx7]

Just reattach it before bringing it in for service.

[@KurtWagner-bb4tj]

You have a black ski and even want to be more invisible, I have a waverunner also a boater, that spout could keep you alot safer

[@Yerrrmangoat]

Does it affect it performance wise

[@Watercraftshack]

It doesn’t affect performance at all.

[@ajlukelepuke]

Without the visibility spout, your machine will be completely invisible to surrounding vessels. Be careful!!

[@Watercraftshack]

Yes, you need to stay alert on the water and never count on people seeing you

[@SME5724]

Lol kawi and sea Doo do just fine

[@dadecountyriders]

🤣

[@ajlukelepuke]

@@SME5724 my comment was sarcasm....

[@loxahatcheeliving2300]

@ajlukelepuke It's not always easy to read sarcasm in a text. Try putting /s at the end. I though you were serious too. lol
