Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
First year with my 2012 242LS, I have the plug open and the inside has a small amount of water inside after a day on the water. Stinks because stuff gets wet, should it be open or closed and how do you keep water out of ski locker?
When your you put your boat on a lift or are trailering have the locker plug out so this compartment will drain to the other recesses that lead to the bilge. You need the angle of the boat up at the bow to help this locker drain. I generally leave mine out all the time, but the safety conscious boaters will say this is a bad idea in the event of taking on serious water. I also leave the hatch open by sticking a floaty or noodle when the boat is under cover to let the locker moisture evaporate.
