Love your content! I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2024 Yamaha 222 fsh Sport and I've been pouring through your videos. I live about 2 hours from my dealer so will be doing most of my own maintenance. One trick I've learned over the years is to place a large plastic bag over the filter when loosening and removing it. That will catch most of the drips as you remove it so less to wipe up. Works on my vehicles, lawn tractor etc. I have a feeling y'all are going to become my go-to source!
My dad taught me to take the old filter and rub the ring against the new filter's ring, therefore you don't have to use your finger. Yes it's old oil but it's always worked for us many decades later
Great info on this video! Only caveat I have is that I wouldn’t worry about measuring exactly how much oil you get out. Move the tube up and down to get as much out as you can. These SVHO engines seem to consume a little bit of oil. You want to then put about 3.25-3.5 quarts back in (includes filter change), then start it up and let it run a minute or two, shut it off. Let it sit 5 minutes, then check oil. Add as much as necessary to fill to just below second hole on dipstick. If you only put back in exactly what you took out you might not be putting enough back in. I just changed mine at around 60 HRS and checked it just before I did and the oil level was a third or so past the first hole. And I did the 10HRS change as well and it was full to second hole. Hope this helps. Thanks!
Loving this channel! I’m buying a 2015 AR210 Monday…have been a SeaDoo jet boat owner for over a decade, love the simplicity of the Yamaha for maintenance!
This video guided me in changing my own oil. Much appreciated. One minor note is that the level lines on that particular oil extractor are not in quarts, but in liters as best as I can gather. Liters and quarts are within ~5% of each other, so, not a big deal...
This was extremely helpful. Great quality of video and absolutely amazing attention to details. Cracked me up with your comment at the end applying the grease 😊 reminding me that we’re human capable of missing small things sometimes. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Definitely subscribed, liked your video.
Nice info. Didn’t know about the last part of the grease around the filter. But yeah makes sense. I usually did that when replacing my sparkplugs. I put grease on the outside of the rubber part.
Remember to factor in the oil that resides in the oil filter when refilling. Will shows using a funnel to put the filter oil into the extractor canister. You can also use the oil extractor tube inserted into the bottom of the oil filter to suck up what oil it contains and have it go back into the canister. That's when I check to see how much oil I extracted. Great video Will!! It helped confirm for me that I was doing my oil extraction the right way.
Great video! I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2024 255 FSH sport H so I've been binging on Yammy content like this! Have you ever tried to lower the trailer jack stand to allow the oil to run forward and settle under the pick-up tube? Maybe it will allow more oil extraction but not sure. I used to do that on my 6.2L Mercruiser on my Crownline 260 bowrider and it seemed to get a little more oil out of the pan. As you mentioned, it best to get as much out as you can. Can't wait to get mine and conduct a full review on the helm master system. Happy boating!
that would be helpful. I have seen everywhere from 1 to 5 to more pumps of grease in them, but htey may blow out... so how do you know exactly how much to put in?
Its our pleasure! We don't have plans for a wiring video. That's not exactly our strong suit but let me do some research on the subject and maybe we can put something together.
awsome video!! BTW can you make a video how to flush the yamaha jetboat flush their engine while docking on salt water, i heard it need to clamp down the "tow hose" before it can start the flushing procedue. :)
@lukecyphers7831 yes, the oil change process does not require the boat to be out of the water. One note, if the boat is level you may not get as much oil out as you would if the boat is sitting at an angle with the bow up. Maybe do it at a launch ramp if it's not busy. Don't block a busy loading ramp.
Excellent! Thanks. I bombed the like button. Dealer told me to change the oil after the first 10 hours (break-in) . He said no need to change the filter at that time? What do you think?
Depends on whether or not you want metal shavings in your filter. The reason for the 10 hour oil change is to remove oil that could be contaminated with metal shavings from brand new engine parts. At least that's what I was taught.
Great detailed video; I’ve learned so much and saved many $$$ from them. My 2020 212x SB engine is overheating due to sand in the system. Any chance to do a video on a flush out procedure?
That one would be tough. It's possible you could blow compressed air through the system but likely you'd have to take the engine apart to get into the key areas.
Have you done a video for greasing intermediate bearing? I have only seen one video on RUclips pertaining to this maintenance requirement at 10/100 hours.
I work on heavy equipment and I'm surprised there's not a hose routed to what would be a drain plug so you can suck the oil out with a vacuum pump. That's how most heavy equipment is. It's quick and easy.
Great video! I just had my oil and filter changed for the 10 hour break in but the dealership did not know how to reset the maintenance reminder. How do you reset it on a 23 AR222XD?
Thank you for this video. Question about the blue ports on front if each engine. Are those fogging ports? If so is that OEM from Yamaha now or an aftermarket add on? If add on do you sell?
I have a 2019 yamaha sx195 . Out here in Washington State. Its getting cold and it has hit below freezing a couple times. My boat is in the garage. It now has 58 hrs on it. Bought it with 36hrs. What do you recommend for maintenance. I have a oil kit from you guys and I also want to fog and change the spark plugs. You think you can do me a favor and do a video of this? I watch all of your videos they are great for beginners and experienced boaters. Thank you very much. I also purchased the fins and lateral jets. You show me how to do it by example and I will pass the great news and do my own video thanking Will and Jetboatpilot. V/R Oly
Few questions for you I’m 25 and about to buy my first boat. I am getting a ar195 or ar190 what would you recommend for longevity ? Also when I buy it it’ll be new can I do my own maintenance or will it void warranty ? I haven’t even went and got one yet but already have anxiety about docking,loading,unloading, are these boats easy to learn and do u have any tips ?
@mdevin8 we have tons of tips and our steering enhancement products will make Docking much easier. Either boat you picked will last a long long time if you care for it properly. You can do your own maintenance without voiding the warranty.
I typically don't put 100 hours on my boats in a year, so I don't Wait for 100 hours. I do recommend highly replacing engine oil once per year and typically do my oil change when I do my winterization. Plugs I also replace every year and like to do that after the first good run of the new season. This way any fogging oil that was sprayed into the system burns off before I swap the plugs.
That I am not sure of. I think you may have to have access to YDS software to do that. Check on JetBoaters.Net and post up a question there. It has probably been asked before.
So my flush connection is in the same compartment as the cleanout port plug. So when you lift the compartment lid it has a cutoff switch is there any tricks that I can do to keep the boat running without having to hold the kills witch down?
There should be some cutouts in the fiberglass that allows the hatch to be shut and the hose situated in one of the cutouts. I'd open the hatch, connect the hose, shut the hatch. Go and start the engine, then start the water running. Let it run 5 minutes then shut the water off. Rev the engine a few times to Blowout any excess water in the system and then shut down the motor. Then you can open the hatch, remove the hose or switch to the opposite engine on a twin engine model.
Measure how much you got out of the filter and add to the total you extracted. Then add back the amount you got out total. Then run the engine on the hose and check the oil again. Must check the MR1 when hot. Do not overfill!
Always check your oil before you change it, that way if it was low you would know not to expect to get much out. Then you can refill and check your oil level when warm
I've got a question about fogging they I have gotten mixed answers on. I had someone at a dealership saying that because we're in tennessee that we don't have to do that because fogging is done more typically for boats used in saltwater. What would you suggest on the fogging in my area?
Always fog if the engine is going into storage for more than three months. The valves can stick if not lubricated well during periods of long storage. It's not hard and worth the time it takes.
Remove the air box cover and air filter and spray the fogging oil directly into the air intake tract. Run the engine on the hose at around 2000 rpm and try to use 1/2 can of Yamaha fogging oil per engine.
Does doing your own oil changes affect the warranty? I was thinking of doing my own first service on my 2023 222X, but I don't want to hurt the warranty. Thanks!
Seems to me the very 1st step in this process should have been to put a level ob top of the engine or see if Yamaha has a designated spot on the engine to check if it is level
I guess some of the old MR1 engines could benefit from this. The newer 1.8 engines are a wet sump engine and the oil accumulates down at the bottom of the engine. Most times we crank up the tongue jack all the way to the top to get the max oil out of older MR1 equipped boats. If you want to have the boat level to check the oil I'd use the ride surface just beneath the engine, out near the edge of the hull. It's nice and flat there.
Will, newbie here...is there a synthetic oil option? Can I use standard auto oil or is there an oil specific to boats? I have a 2006 ar230 HO. Thanks so much for these great videos!

What do you think about charging the filter since the one that came off was saturated…to really get the oil in to match the oil out?
You should not have any oil in your filter if you do that is an indication that it was overfilled

How often you need to do an oil change on this kind of motors?
Suggested interval is 100 hours or once per year

It does not impact as long as you have documentation to prove that you have done the maintenance and done it properly
Create a Google doc or similar that you can document the maintenance.
You can use old oil for oring, don't stick dirty hands in new oil.
