[@jackwmoody]

Nice! You and your wife are pretty handy people.

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

Jack Moody we try to be!!!

[@harryschuchmann5921]

I am down in Sarasota so I'm just curious of where I should start looking to try to find a cutter that could use at once I get the material from Amazon thank you for your help

[@pastoraaronsturgis6699]

Any chance you and your wife could do a vid on making decals with the machine? Tryin to figure out if it’s worth ordering up all that. Would be awesome!

[@w3bexec]

Good call on the dual spares! I want the same.

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

The_Real_iDad we've had the worst luck with tires once we moved to Florida.. I've been through several on the cars and trailer... not taking any more chances...lol

[@djlilbear1]

Hey buddy do you remember what font your wife used for the decals?

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

It's called Flighter. I had to download it.

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

The boat name is different and honestly I don't remember that one. The software my wife uses allows her to trace from a picture and recreate it..

[@djlilbear1]

Okay thanks buddy! I’m going to try the red holographic vinyl I have the red and white AR240

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

@@djlilbear1 we can cut it for you if you want the same design as mine..... not very expensive..

[@djlilbear1]

Rob's Yamaha Jetboat DIY Maintenance thanks a million but, my girlfriend has the vinyl cutting machine it’s just a matter of getting her to do it but,if she goofs it up I’ll definitely be in contact lol.

Love your videos and thank you for your service to our country. I boat in Lake Havasu, Arizona. I do not see a ton of Yamaha boats on the water. Can you speak to the quality of their ride and the longevity of their engines? Thanks!

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

AHHH good ole lake havasu! Used to go there often when I was stationed at 29 Palms.. Anyways, the Yamahas are very well built and can take a beating with waves and such.. the engines are also very dependable and if regular maintenance and proper flushing is done they will last for years. I have not had any major issues with the boat at all...

[@alphasxsignal]

You should use a Vinyl cutter machine which are cheap today. Guess you bought one. Cool. I have used them for all kinds of stuff. Im looking to buy one of these boats myself.

[@harryschuchmann5921]

Can these decals be cut with scissors or a razor blade

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

Yes they can but I really dont recommend it as you won't get straight lines, no matter how steady of a hand you might have.

[@harryschuchmann5921]

Where can I find somebody that has a cutter for that are there any kind of special shops or what should I be looking for

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

Simple google search for vinyl decals near you.. if you like the ones we used in the video you can show it to them and they can order it for you. The cutter we have was only $250 and material is pretty cheap though Amazon.

[@jeff301700]

i like the idea of making your own decals but how will you keep them from stripping off when under way?

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

They are sticky! They have the same adhesion as the factory decals.

[@rickkolbow1652]

Hey Rob does your interior dry out faster with the black mooring cover on ? Also what do you use on your interior ,303 protectant ?

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

RICK Kolbow no it doesn't, it just gets really muggy under there and smells. I leave it uncovered as long as I can to dry in the sun before covering.. I normally use goof off on seats but looking for something better...

[@212x3]

Love your vids. Very informative. Have a question. Looking at an AR210, new. wondering how the TR1 engines hold up with pulling tubes and skiers. I know the TR2 engines put out a lot more hp, but I'm already stretching the budget for the AR210 and the Limited S is another $10k. Thoughts?

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

Thanks for watching... I'm not an engine expert so the only thing I really know about the TR1 is that its a 3 cylinder that puts out close to equal amounts of HP as the 1.8 liter.. I'm old fashioned in my thinking so if a 4 cylinder does X, and a 3 cylinder also does X, that means the 3 cylinder is working much harder.. archaic thinking I know but that's just me. If it wasn't a successful engine they wouldn't use it. The only thing better and a single Tr1 is two 1.8 liters... lol... useless answer I know but I hope you pick something useful from it...

[@212x3]

I try to get something useful from everything in this life. Carry on.

[@harryschuchmann5921]

Ok thank u

[@lockdownskateboards9318]

Ay Rob real quick. Any experience with touching up gelcoat on the hull from minor dings and scratches? I can’t for the life of me find the color code for my 2009 232 limited. (Tan champagne color). Thanks. Happy boating. Oh and check out my testimonial I sent in on the Mantus website. Cheers- Richie

[@gregloor5417]

What size is your EGA

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

That's an 8 inch EGA

[@googleuser9202]

Dish soap??? WRONG !!! It's destroying the glue! Use Johnson's Baby Shampoo instead!

[@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162]

its worked for decals on my truck and cars for years... everyone has things they think is better than others.... but doesn't make one "WRONG" over another. But thanks for the input.

[@harryschuchmann5921]

Ok thank u
