Every boater is wired a little differently. Some of us live for the technical data, tracking fuel burn, and dialing in the perfect cruise speed. Others just want to pack the cooler, drop the throttle, and find a quiet cove for the weekend. So, we want to know: What’s your boating style, and what do you currently ride? Are you a hardcore offshore angler? A long-range cruiser? Or a weekend day-boat champion? Tell us how you use your boat in the comments below! 👇 The Cool Part: There is a very good chance we’ve put your exact model through our full performance testing matrix. We love hearing how our data matches up with real-world ownership. Drop us an email at testimonials@boattest.com to tell us what you own, how it performs, and your favorite memory onboard—we want to hear your story! 📩 Join smart boaters.

While crossing the Mona Passage, 35 nautical miles offshore, we ran into trouble with our Yanmar 4JH4E. We were motoring in light winds when we noticed a change in the exhaust pitch — turns out, seawater wasn’t flowing properly. We checked the impeller and, strangely, it looked intact… but it could spin freely by hand — not a good sign. After getting towed back to our anchorage at midnight (huge thanks to Michael, who came out and saved us!), we dug deeper and discovered that the gear inside the old water pump had worn down badly. It turns out the pump wasn’t making full contact with the internal gear, likely due to an aftermarket impeller and shallow gear engagement. We ordered a new OEM water pump from R&B Power in San Juan, and they were awesome — super responsive and got us the part
