Thread: Time for boat service!

    So I guess my next trip up to Havasu I will do my yearly service on the boat. Did I mention all I have to do is an oil and filter change on two motors? No more drive maintenance. No drive oil, trim pumps. No more replacing water impellers on the water pump. No sea strainer. No hydraulic steering.
    But, does anyone know a good place to get a Pella oil extractor? I have to suck all the oil out of the motors and want a nice unit to do so.
    Then I need to detail the boat and wax the the whole thing, including the bottom. Fun working on the toys when it isn't a thousand degrees out up there.

    Yamaha boats are the best bang for your buck. I have a hot boat sticker on the back of the boat to throw people off

    I just took a ride in my first Yami couple months back. I liked it a lot. A lot of bang for the buck is an understatement.

    I have the 21' and it is huge for a 21'. Has a ton of room, lots of freeboard and is a much bigger boat in person. We love ours. And couldn't beat the price.

    Yeah, lots of bells and whistles. I'd bet if Yami could get more people to test drive them, they'de sell a lot more. Even at the boat shows I'de walk on by because I thought they were just silly toys. Going for a ride was certainly a eye opener.

    Just overall preformance was really good. Idleing out we could talk to each other. Hit the bouy line hit the throttle. Damn thing was on plane almost instandly. Accelerated to top speed really quick. Smooth as glass. Can't say nothing for rough water handling as the water was flat. Turned on a dime at any speed. Couple of sharp one's at WOT. Made same run with tuber behind us, basicaly no difference. Then pulled a single ski up. I was impressed.
    BTW, Only guessing but WOT was probably only about 55 or so.
