Enjoyed this video Capt Frank because we love Chattanooga and Tennessee River- glad you cleared the weeds!🙂This trip really inspires me to make my PWC purchase in 2023. Thanks also for your prior video review of Yamaha vs Sea-Doo! I was leaning Waverunner, but now will go with Sea-Doo Fish Pro for iDF (Intelligent Debris Flow) clearing system among other Sea-Doo features. 👍

Great video Captain Frank. I have Yamahas as well. I've wondered how that new Sea Doo Intelligent Debris Free (iDF) pump system works in getting grass out of the intake. I bet most brands get that feature in the coming years.

Guntersville is a minefield especially in recent years because of the growing eelgrass. I rented a SeaDoo spark there in 2021 and had to unclog the pump probably 5 times in the 4 hours I rented it

When you fuel up are you able to find premium? When you can’t get premium, how does your Yamaha run on
@TheShipsLogg
Жыл бұрын
It is often hard to find premium when on the water. I often carry a good quality octane booster with me for such occasions. If you must run 89 or 90 octane, it does run fine but your fuel economy and performance will suffer a little bit.
