2018 AR190 Bow Filler Cushion

[iain]

Hello,

I've just purchased a 2018 AR190 and looking to order the bow filler cushion. The only one I found was:

https://www.yamahapartshouse.com/oemparts/a/yam/511921eff870020a60b8d9ee/seat-cushion

This is a 2013 SX192 - Does anyone have a link or part number for the AR190? Or does the 2013 SX192 cushion fit? Many thanks!

Should fit as they are the same boat.

Here's a thread on this https://jetboaters.net/threads/bow-filler.601/

Get a cushion for 2016-2018 AR195 if they have it in stock. I ordered 2014 cushion for my 2016 and it didn't fit right. Check out this thread:

Like @pete4180 said, I'd get a year specific cushion. 2018 SX195 and AR195 both use the same cushion

So that will work for the AR190 as well? Are the hulls identical for the 190/195?

For those of you that have bow filler cushions, do you leave them in all the time? Or do you only use them occasionally?

 

[haknslash]

Leave mine in all the time.

I don't know that I've ever used it.
Looking to modify it to be used as a partial jump seat. similar to the 242 limited seat (see attached).

Did you ever figure out a way to do this? That would come in really handy!

Hey Jryan, No I didn't. I ended up upgrading boats to the 212x.

Well...I don't think that's going to be an option for me right now!

I hear ya!
Initially I was considering using a thick piece of PTE or cutting board for the backrest and simply bolting a hinge to one end to allow for the upright position. My thought was to hide the hinge for the backrest inside the seam so it wouldn't be exposed and allow the backrest to fold underneath itself when in the center position.
Home depot, Ace Hardware or Lowes have stainless hinges for relatively cheap. Biggest hang-up was how to hold the backrest? Bigger boats have a recess built in to accommodate.
Good luck with the mod! Keep us posted if/what you come up with. This forum is an amazing community and fantastic with knowledge and project sharing.

Well...I just put a new stereo in my boat so there's no way I'm trading in yet but DANG does your boat look awesome! I really wish the 21 foot would fit in my garage.

Yes I think the cutting board is the most versatile product for us. You can get that stuff cheap on Amazon (way cheaper than bulk marine plastic).
