Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Yamaha FX-HO and FX Cruiser HO are closely related personal watercraft models, sharing most features with minor differences. Both are designed for performance and comfort, accommodating up to three passengers. This review focuses primarily on the FX-HO, highlighting its storage capacity, ergonomic design, advanced control features, and engine performance.
Exterior Design and Features
The FX-HO offers substantial dry storage with a total capacity of 23.7 gallons distributed across four compartments. Each compartment is sealed with a gasket and equipped with gas-assisted shocks for ease of access and secure closure. The watercraft's mirrors are integrated into the fairing in a streamlined fashion, positioned high and within the outer rub rail to avoid damage during docking. The aft swim platform measures 36 inches in width and 15 inches in depth, featuring a reboarding step for convenience. Seating is configured in two sections, with the standard HO seat designed for comfort and the Cruiser version offering raised edges for extended trips. The three-person capacity includes an aft-facing passenger position, allowing the rear occupant to observe the tow line.
Control Panel and Operational Features
The control panel is equipped with a multifunction display that provides real-time data including fuel level via a bar readout, speed, RPM, voltage, and engine hours. A notable security feature is the lock and unlock mode, which disables the ignition to prevent theft when the operator leaves the watercraft. The FX-HO includes a no-wake mode that maintains a steady speed of five miles per hour without the need to hold the throttle, enhancing ease of operation in restricted speed zones. Additionally, a cruise assist function allows the rider to maintain a set cruising speed with the ability to incrementally adjust it. Controls on the left side include the engine start and stop buttons, an engine kill safety lanyard, and a trim system operated by a trigger and rotating handle to adjust the exhaust port angle. The reverse gate control is conveniently located on the right-hand throttle side, requiring the operator to remove their hand from the throttle to engage reverse, a safety-conscious design appreciated by testers.
Power and Performance
Powering the FX-HO is an 1812cc four-cylinder, four-stroke Yamaha marine engine that is naturally aspirated and raw water cooled. It is optimized to run on regular 87 octane fuel. Performance testing recorded a top speed of 63.3 miles per hour at 7,700 RPM, with a fuel consumption rate of 13.8 gallons per hour, equating to 4.57 miles per gallon and a maximum range of approximately 76 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 6,000 RPM, achieving 45.4 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 7.4 gallons per hour, resulting in 6.17 miles per gallon and a range extending to 103 statute miles. Acceleration from zero to 30 miles per hour was brisk, taking only 2.2 seconds.
