possibly the most helpful video I have ever seen, not just because it applies to me but well done and explained without a bunch of extra nonsense. ppl should watch this before trying to make instructional videos on any topic.
This is a must save video for all Yamaha boat owners. I was VERY uncomfortable with performing this task however you made it VERY simple with this video. All thanks to a jammed 20oz pop bottle (find a trash can idiots!) I had to pull my 2017 242 out of the water and perform this at the launch. 20 minutes was all it took for me who has next to zero experience. Sincere THANK YOU!!
I have a 2017 AR210 that I believe has a stick stuck in the impeller. I too am VERY uncomfortable doing this but sounds like it was pretty straightforward?
This is a great video! I had to pay a lot for someone to remove plastic that got stuck (the same) between the impeller and the housing. If this happens again this season, I know exactly what to do myself thanks to you!
I did the procedure today while my Yamaha AR195 is on the Wave Armor Jet Dock, It was very simple task. It is way easier and safer way to get the wrapped rope out of the propeller shaft. The 2018 AR195 has a keel with a small channel guide mounted on the keel casing. You have option of taking one additional 17 mm bolt out of the channel guide or just slide the channel guide out of the keel when removing the propeller housing. I also greased the gear at the end of shaft with marine grade anti-seize high temperature grease. Thank you Stokley's Marine. A simple and clear instruction like this is what us weekend worrier needed.
Thank you for making this video! I as a newer jetboat owner had the pleasure of a tow line getting caught up in the spindle. Fortunate it didn't tangle around the impeller. Followed this video step by step and it literally took me 20 minutes from start to finish! Cleared rope. Assembled everything back together - and hopefully, everything runs well today on lake. Did d test run with a water hose and everything is turning perfectly. This just saved me so much time and money & I also learned something! THANK YOU>
CAUTION- video is great and spot on but be very careful tightening the reverse gate screws at the end. It is very easy to break the end of the threaded reverse gate cable if you torque down the screws very much. I did and I had to fix. Luckily I was able to use a 10-32 coupler nut 3/4 inch stainless steel to put the pieces together. I saw multiple other posts about folks breaking reverse gate cable at threads so I was not the only guy to overtighten a little when putting back together. Otherwise thanks for a great video.
Excellent video. So well done. This happened to me on my first test drive. I removed mine gently from the intake grate under the boat, but it is so confidence inspiring to see how easy this is in case I have to do it this way. Bravo!
Thank you so much for the video. I had a small chunk of wood (size of a quarter) wedged between impeller blade and wall of housing. Was going to take to a marina, but after watching this video I removed it myself, took about 15 minutes from start to finish with zero experience. Really appreciate the information and guidance, as I'm sure this will happen again (AR240).
I am SO grateful to you. I had the exact same problem and your demonstration gave me the confidence to make the repair myself. It definitely took me longer than your man's 15 minutes, but there were no surprises. The obstruction I removed was remarkably similar to the one in your video. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. If I didn't live in Atlanta I would be your customer for sure. I do appreciate you!
Thank you Sam F. for calling and sharing how our video helped save your boating trip! Sam was boating in TN and got a stick stuck in the jet pump of his Yamaha boat. By watching this video he was able to remove the obstruction on his own and continue his boating without having to come back to KY! We are so glad we could help you easily solve your problem and continue enjoying your time on the water!
2021 Yamaha jet boat models much different... My neighbor and I pulled the rear impeller and drive shaft yesterday to remove a tarp that got sucked up.., Had to call SeaTow Saturday night To remove and replace was more like a 1 hour job.... Your video was still helpful Thanks
Amazing Video. Tks I'm having a problem...boat that has been sitting for a year, 2010 SX210 with Access Caps that are stuck. I will be trying the ice trick and prying to get them out. Lubricate and keep them out when the boat is not in operation. :)
Great video! hey can you list a few tools that would be good to have onboard eather truck or boat to take care of most problems? I have my razor knife!
Great video! I'm looking at getting my first boat which is an older yamaha exciter 270. I'm so worried about getting it and then something breaking. Do you have experience with older yamaha boats and is there anything I should be weary about when looking at a 15 y/o boat?
I hope you can help me. I have 2006 yamaha vx1100 sports ihave replace new starter and new solenoid battery have a good voltage. When i press the start button engine move in a second but not continue cranck or spin. Do think something holding the engine to run?
Thanks for the video - very helpful. You know your boats. 2 questions: Am I generally better off going through small debris on plane speed of at trolling speed? And when I do get a stick in the impeller, is it OK to run the engine until the blockage is shredded? I've done this twice already on a boat with less that 20 hours. And BTW - after seeing your video and the comments I'm signed up with Boat US, unlimited towing.
The pump was clear. I removed the spark plugs and it will not turn over. My engine is an after market from SBT in Florida. It is under warranty. Is there a gear box?
Thank you for this very informative video. I have a 2014 Yamaha SX190 and was wondering if there is any way to clear an obstruction like that while the boat is still in the water?
hanGun61 Only thru the clean out under the rear swim deck storage with removing the Cleanout plug. Sometimes you can run the engine in reverse and dislodge an object.
I had a rope get caught in the impeller we got all the rope off but we think there may have been some damage. The boat is taking on water into the engine compartment. Is there some seals inside here that may have got damaged and need to be repaired?
So I just had a whole new engine put in my 2013 AR-190 and after getting it back and spending over $10,000 for a new engine, and jet pump we put it in the water and it doesn't steer responsive at all. I literally have to make a huge loop just to turn left or right. I can be cruising at 35 and have the wheel cranked to the left and the boat still goes straight. Any suggestions?
Just get question I have 2002 Yamaha jet boat .when I turned on out of the water you can feel the double engine are string . But when it's in the water and I push on the gas you feel the boat sinking from the back with no power .the the engine turned off . You think the engine no good or the impeller? Thanks for your support
Great video. I pulled out a stick from the clean-out port on my 2017 AR210 (it was loose) but now that engine runs 300 RPM slower than the other. Think I may need to do this to make sure I got it all out. Anything special to consider on a 2017 AR210? TIA!
Hi. I have a 2009 ar230 ho and I sucked up some mud and my engine is hard to start now. It doesn’t idle great and vibrates. I pulled it apart and checked impeller and nothing. Once I get it running and get the Rpms up for a while then it does fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The other motor still starts like new.
Great video! I noticed someone had used RTV or Silicone between the jet pump and hull and between the jet pump and housing in my LX210. Is this necessary or recommended? It is starting to peel out so I was thinking of pulling them and resealing and I came across this video and noticed none was applied here.
My Yamaha AR 210 was running at 7500 rpm when it seemed to lock up. My oil is clean no metal or fragments. Is it possible a stick could have stalled the engine? It will not turn over at all.
Yes. Check your jet pump. Also if it won’t turn over pull out your spark plugs and try to turnover. If it does, then you could have water in your engine/gas. But try jet pump 1st.
This is one of the many reasons I'm getting RID of my 70K Jet Boat. Sitting on a lift and trying to do this for a stupid piece of wood, I can no longer see myself going through this stupid, pathetic procedure because of poorly engineered boat.

Excellant video and walk through. I was able to remove the tow rope that got wrap within my impeller housing with no other way out. Thank you!
Awesome video! I've had my SX210 for a year up here in Northern KY, so I'm sure I'll need to refer to this video in the future.
Thank you so much for the video. I had a small chunk of wood (size of a quarter) wedged between impeller blade and wall of housing.

Sorry about asking about torque specs, you said it right after I asked. Thanks!!
Thanks for posting this. It's pretty easy to do. Great concise video!!

Stokley's Marine is there no need to seal the pump with rtv or silicone?
From Ralph Stokley: None is needed. You are only seeing overlapping but it's not needed.
Stokley's Marine me too. You guys rock. 30 mins. Saved me
Just saved me at least $500 watching this video. Thank You Stokley's.
Wish you guys were in Tampa! But great video as I just ran over a tow rope. What a mess...
great video you made it look easy
2021 Yamaha jet boat models much different...
My neighbor and I pulled
the rear impeller and drive shaft yesterday to remove a tarp that got sucked up..,
Had to call SeaTow Saturday night
To remove and replace
was more like a 1 hour job....
Your video was still
helpful
Thanks
is that supposed to be a haiku?
Great video! Thanks!
Great how to video. This really helps new jet boat owner as myself.
Thank you. I really appreciate. You save me 900 Dollars they try to charge me 450 for each one. I have two with the same problem
Nice video!
Any videos on how to change thermostat on Yamaha Jet Boat?
Amazing Video. Tks I'm having a problem...boat that has been sitting for a year, 2010 SX210 with Access Caps that are stuck. I will be trying the ice trick and prying to get them out. Lubricate and keep them out when the boat is not in operation. :)
Great video! hey can you list a few tools that would be good to have onboard eather truck or boat to take care of most problems? I have my razor knife!
Exelent video, so basically must jetskis are like that?

Is yamahe impeller is counter rotation?
Nice information
I have yahama AR190 THE PROBLEM is check engine warning is activate how to fix PROBLEM thank you
Any torque spec to worry about?
The pump was clear. I removed the spark plugs and it will not turn over. My engine is an after market from SBT in Florida. It is under warranty. Is there a gear box?
How do you break the seal of the jet pump to the mount?
Will this cause the motor to high rev then go back down can only go 10 mph
Was the jet drive still functional in the water to get back to the launch with that stick in it?
Did it still work before it happened? Mine goes into limp mode after a 10 seconds of throttle.
Thank you for this very informative video. I have a 2014 Yamaha SX190 and was wondering if there is any way to clear an obstruction like that while the boat is still in the water?
hanGun61 Only thru the clean out under the rear swim deck storage with removing the Cleanout plug. Sometimes you can run the engine in reverse and dislodge an object.
How did they know that this happened? Mine has a vibration when I accelerate i wonder if that could be the problem?
I had a rope get caught in the impeller we got all the rope off but we think there may have been some damage. The boat is taking on water into the engine compartment. Is there some seals inside here that may have got damaged and need to be repaired?
no sealant needed?
So I just had a whole new engine put in my 2013 AR-190 and after getting it back and spending over $10,000 for a new engine, and jet pump we put it in the water and it doesn't steer responsive at all.

Just get question
I have 2002 Yamaha jet boat .when I turned on out of the water you can feel the double engine are string . But when it's in the water and I push on the gas you feel the boat sinking from the back with no power .the the engine turned off .
You think the engine no good or the impeller?
Thanks for your support
Great video. I pulled out a stick from the clean-out port on my 2017 AR210 (it was loose) but now that engine runs 300 RPM slower than the other. Think I may need to do this to make sure I got it all out. Anything special to consider on a 2017 AR210? TIA!
Hi did you ever figured out your issue with the RPMs?
Hi. I have a 2009 ar230 ho and I sucked up some mud and my engine is hard to start now. It doesn’t idle great and vibrates. I pulled it apart and checked impeller and nothing. Once I get it running and get the Rpms up for a while then it does fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The other motor still starts like new.
Holy crap this is the first thing that I've ever seen, using 11 mm wrench or socket😂😂😂😂😂
Great video! I noticed someone had used RTV or Silicone between the jet pump and hull and between the jet pump and housing in my LX210. Is this necessary or recommended? It is starting to peel out so I was thinking of pulling them and resealing and I came across this video and noticed none was applied here.
From Ralph Stokley: None is needed. You are only seeing overlapping but it's not needed.
Great video. no gaskets or silicone ? coming from the motorcycle world so Don't haze me?

Why do you buy Kenny an electric impact man !!!!
I sucked lots of water the other day. Could that be because i sucked sea shell in shallow???
Should've put new greese on the splines
i know this is a 100 years ago..but why no new sealant and grease?....lol
You guys need to hold a camera first and how much to zoom in or out. Then you can make a video
keep all the parts that come out? really, for what? maybe put them in a magnetic bowl so they don't roll onto the floor...
This is one of the many reasons I'm getting RID of my 70K Jet Boat. Sitting on a lift and trying to do this for a stupid piece of wood, I can no longer see myself going through this stupid, pathetic procedure because of poorly engineered boat.
