    I have three 2019 Yamaha VXR's with the naturally aspirated 1800 motor that get used exclusively in salt water and ALWAYS rinsed with fresh water after each use. All 3 of my skis have had issues with the zincs blowing out of their mounting position. One actually cracked the block where it attaches to it. On that ski which has 760 hours on it I just had to have it welded shut and it no longer has a spot for a zinc. We'll see how long that ski last now that it is zincess!

    Hey Will, little fyi on anodes, your standard at home water heater uses fresh water and it also has anode rod that you are supposed to replace every year or couple of years depending on your water source. without it your water tank will get eaten from inside rather quickly. i would flush yamas with salt away even after a lake run since they are cooled by external water. seadoos is closed loop system with coolant so not an issue, but they have anode rings on the outside in the back.

    Regards. I would like to know if the engine has a filter so that when the water enters it can hold all the small garbage?

    • @JetBoatPilot
      @JetBoatPilot  Рік тому +1

      There is a screen on the side of the jet nozzle that helps to filter out larger debris but smaller stuff can make its way through the system. Take off the access cap on the off white intake screen to see if you have built up debris there.

    Is it possible to get the anode without pulling the whole engine apart? I´m going to buy a FX SVHO tomorrow.

    • @JetBoatPilot

      I've not been able to get to the anode on my FXSVHO. Not sure what is involved but it's not as straightforward as the naturally aspirated one.

    hi guys, I'll give you a call. But I have a question: I am a DIY guy. Have owned boats and changed out anodes before. However, I have the tr-1 on my waverunner. I"M NOT RICH. AND WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE/CHECK THE ANODE myself. Is it super hard to take off the air intake? it looks complicated as hell. I was able to get the bolt out of the anode but now I have to get the anode loose. 2018 vx limited 90 hours. well kept. thank you.

    • @JetBoatPilot

      Rinsing out the engine cooling system with fresh water to remove salt deposits (salt water boaters) or remove organisms like zebra mussels or other organic material so as to prevent the transfer from one body of water to another.

    There re different anode materials depending on fresh vs. salt water. How did Yamaha know where my ski was going? Sorry but an anode doesn’t show you anything about service. A anode is doing its job when it looks terrible too.

      @cowlumbus the goal of this video was to help used PWC buyers to find evidence that points to whether or not proper Flushing was done. This technique was learned from a former world champion PWC racer and owner of one of the largest powersports dealerships in the world. You can trust this tip!
