I have a 2021 Yamaha Waverunner FX Cruiser SVHO that is a fantastic Jet-ski. The only problem is the massive water rooster tail that wets all the wakeboard and towable tube riders. Not only that when people are getting on the rear platform I have to turn off the Waverunner so they don’t get a face full of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting into fishing with my PWC sealed the deal as an esky would need to be strapped down over the visibility spout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to install a water pout eliminator valve so that I could turn off the water jet spout when in need. This project turned out to be an easy fix. I don’t know why Yamaha doesn’t have it as an on-off option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does the Yamaha Waverunner Jet-ski have a Rooster tail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Why<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Yamaha Waverunner Rooster tail water spout is a trademark signature that tells every other PWC that you are on a Waverunner. It is mainly used as a visibility safety mechanism so that other boats and Jet-ski riders can see you further away. A side effect is that it will wet any person who is behind the personal watercraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This water rooster tail comes directly from the jet pump and will increase in size and pressure depending on the Waverunner speed and power. Some Waverrunner Jet-skis have a rooster tail over 4m high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people think it’s part of the cooling circuit but it is just a hose that comes from the internal pressure of the jet pump. Pressurized water flows out the top outlet, through the short hose, and up through the rear deck fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waverunner visibility spout removal plug or valve?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was tired of having the Waverunner water spout constantly drenching the kids on the water tube and wakeboards. The decision to plug the visibility spout or add a control valve was an easy decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to add a small valve to control the water flow rooster tail length. I purchased the WaveEater water spout eliminator valve<\/a> from Amazon which was a perfect fit. The benefit of the valve was that I could shut it off completely and it would cause no damage to the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My 2021 Yamaha FX Cruiser SVHO now has a variable flow water spout rooster tail. Happy Days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
