Height in Water

[Richard Bares]

I have searched and I can't seem to find anything specific to my question. Where I live there is a chain of lakes connected by a river. The river has several bridges that go over the river and from my understanding the clearance height is 6' depending on water levels. My question, since I still haven't been able to get the boat out this season, what is the clearance height of a 2012 Yamaha AR190 with the tower up. I obviously can drop the tower while traveling the river but I would rather keep it simple.

Yamaha lists their in height bridge clearance for the AR 190 at 7' 6" (from the "Yamaha Boats" app).

Isn't that while on the trailer?

It looks like this is for the 2019. I assume the 2012 is similar.

7'6" can't be true. It's less than that with the boat sitting on the trailer. The dimension you're really looking for would be from top of tower light to about 3-4" below the swing platform.

It is 122" on the trailer 10' 2". That said, Yamaha may be adding a little cushion, but not more than 6"

Doh I'm having a brain fart. I'm thinking my garage with the tower folded. Carry on. It's Friday

The boat is not 10'2" on the trailer.

Are you talking about the AR 190? The tower to deck is 6' (head clearance).

I found another thread on Yamaha Jet Boaters that states 6'2" bridge clearance for the 2012. I guess I will need to measure to be 100% sure.
