How to Check Yamaha Boat Table Mount Compatibility Before You Buy
Last Updated: October 30, 2026
Quick Summary
Yamaha boat table mount compatibility depends mainly on your boat's model year and model family, since parts often will not swap between generations. Boats from 2014 onward use a V-shaped Garelick wedge mount, while 190 and 195 models use a transom install with no angled spacer. Measure your leg diameter and mount location before ordering.

Buying a table mount for a Yamaha jet boat sounds simple until you find the fit depends on your model year, boat model, and mount location. A kit that looks right in a product photo can leave you drilling the wrong spot.
Start with two facts: your boat's model year and model family. Those decide which spacer, backing plate and leg you need.
Why Yamaha Table Mount Compatibility Depends on Model Year
Yamaha changed how the table mount is built over the years, so parts often will not swap between generations. The biggest dividing line is 2014 or newer versus older.
2014 and newer boats
Boats from 2014 onward use a V-shaped Garelick wedge mount. Our replacement table leg fits 2014 and later Yamaha boats that use this mount.
Within newer boats, the spacer changes again: the 2016-2020 kit includes an angled spacer, while the 2021+ kit uses a different spacer part. Check your model year against the kit label before ordering.
Pre-2014 boats and aftermarket fitment
Older boats and aftermarket setups are harder to verify, since mount location, bolt pattern and leg diameter may not match current parts. Read how to verify fitment for a different brand's accessory before buying.
Qualified tip: when fitment is unclear, measure your existing hardware and compare it with the published dimensions for each kit.
Model-by-Model Compatibility Chart for 190, 195 and 242 Boats
This matrix consolidates mount, spacer, leg, and orientation details so you can verify fit before you buy. Treat it as a starting point and confirm against your boat's parts diagram or owner's manual, because running changes within a model year are common.
| Boat model family | Model year | Mount type | Spacer required | Leg / tube fit | Kit or part to check | Orientation notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 190 / 195 | Covered years | Garelick-style wedge mount, transom location | No angled spacer | Replacement leg fits 2014+ wedge mounts; OEM leg measures 2.125 in OD | Yamaha 190/195 Garelick Grill / Table Mount Kit | Transom install; mount sits flat, no 90-degree adapter needed |
| 242 | 2016-2020 | Garelick-style wedge mount | Yes, angled spacer | Replacement leg fits 2014+ wedge mounts | JEWLS Garelick Mount Kit - for 2016-2020 Yamaha | Angled spacer sets the mount face; confirm spacer part before ordering |
| 242 | 2021 and newer | Garelick-style wedge mount | Yes, newer spacer part | Replacement leg fits 2014+ wedge mounts | JEWLS Garelick Mount Kit - Fits 2021+ Yamaha | Newer spacer differs from the 2016-2020 part; do not interchange |
| 275 | 2020 | Garelick-style wedge mount | Uses the 2021+ spacer | Replacement leg fits 2014+ wedge mounts | JEWLS Garelick Mount Kit - Fits 2021+ Yamaha | Model name matters more than year here; the 2020 275 takes the 2021 kit |
| Any 2014+ boat with a wedge mount | 2014 and newer | Garelick-style wedge mount | Depends on kit | Replacement leg only; table not included | JEWLS Replacement Table Leg - Fits 2014+ Yamaha | Leg-only purchase; reuse your existing mount and spacer |
How to read the matrix
- Mount type tells you which hardware family the boat uses; 2014+ boats use a V-shaped Garelick wedge mount, and the replacement leg is built for that group.
- Spacer required is the most common source of wrong orders: the 190/195 transom install has no angled spacer, while 2016-2020 and 2021+ boats do, and the part changes between those groups.
- Leg / tube fit matters if you replace only the leg: the OEM leg measures 2.125 inches across, while the replacement uses a 2-inch tube with a slightly wider base.
Fastener and backing plate reference
All kits in the matrix use four 1/4-20 x 2-inch stainless fasteners with washers and nylon-insert lock nuts. Backing plate dimensions vary by kit, such as 6 x 5 or 5 x 4 inches, so compare the plate to the flat space inside your hull; a curved or obstructed location may not seat a larger plate flush.
Measuring Your Mount Location and Leg Diameter
This procedure walks through the four measurements that decide fit: leg outer diameter, mount opening, bolt pattern, and orientation. Write each number down and compare it with the kit details before you check out.
1. Identify the mount location and type
Look at where the table leg meets the boat. A transom mount on a 190/195 sits flat and uses a kit without an angled spacer, while a 2016-2020 or 2021+ boat uses a Garelick-style wedge mount with an angled spacer that sets the mount face. Note whether the surface is flat or curved, since curved surfaces may need a different backing plate or extra sealing.
2. Measure the leg outer diameter
Use a caliper, or wrap a tape measure around the leg and divide the circumference by 3.14. The replacement leg uses a 2-inch tube with a wider base added around it. If your leg measures significantly outside the published dimensions, confirm the mount type before ordering.
3. Measure the mount opening and socket depth
The mount opening is the hole or socket the leg drops into. Measure its inside diameter and the depth from the mount face to the bottom of the socket, then compare these to the leg's base diameter and insertion length: too short and it will not seat fully, too wide and it will not enter.
4. Map the bolt pattern
Measure the center-to-center distance between adjacent fastener holes and between diagonal holes. Most kits use four fasteners, so you should have a rectangular or square pattern. Record the spacing and compare it with the backing plate dimensions, such as 6 x 5 or 5 x 4 inches; if the holes miss the hull or hit an obstruction, the spacer or plate may be wrong for your year.
5. Confirm orientation and adapter needs
Check whether the mount face is level or angled. The angled spacer on 2016-2020 and 2021+ kits sets the face, and a 90-degree adapter may be needed if your table must clear a seat or gunwale. Test-fit the leg and table before tightening fasteners so you can rotate the mount if needed.

6. Record fastener size and tools
The kits use 1/4-20 x 2-inch stainless fasteners, which typically require a 7/16-inch socket for the nuts. Check the nut size on your existing hardware before you buy tools, and confirm you have washers and nylon-insert lock nuts on hand.
Yamaha Boat Table Mount Installation Steps and Safety Checks
Installation is straightforward if the parts match. Work slowly and check each fit before you tighten anything.
- Remove the old table leg or mount hardware, if you are replacing it.
- Position the backing plate on the inside of the hull and confirm it lines up with the mount location.
- Place the spacer (if your kit includes one) between the plate and the mount.
- Insert the four stainless 1/4-20 x 2-inch fasteners and washers through the mount.
- Thread on the nylon-insert lock nuts and tighten evenly, alternating across the mount so the load spreads.
- Attach the table leg and test that it sits level and does not wobble.
Safety checks before you use the table:
- Confirm all four fasteners are tight and the lock nuts are seated.
- Check that the mount does not rock or shift when you apply pressure to the table.
- Inspect the stainless hardware for corrosion or damage before each season.
Yamaha jet boat table mount socket size
The fasteners in our kits are 1/4-20 threaded, which typically requires a 7/16-inch socket for the nuts. Check the nut size on your existing hardware before you buy tools, because the fit varies by boat.
Troubleshooting a table mount that will not fit
If the mount does not line up, first recheck your model year and model family. Next, compare your leg diameter with the published dimension. Do not force a part.
If the bolt holes miss the hull, the spacer may be the wrong one for your year. Also confirm you bought the transom kit for a 190/195 and the spacer kit for other models.
Choosing Your Yamaha SBT-TBLMT-KT-23 Table and Mount Kit
Our approach is to match the kit to your boat, not the other way around:
- 2016-2020 Yamaha boats: choose the JEWLS Garelick Mount Kit - for 2016-2020 Yamaha. It is priced at $203.94 and includes the angled spacer.
- 2021 and newer boats (other than 190/195): choose the JEWLS Garelick Mount Kit - Fits 2021+ Yamaha. It is also priced at $203.94.
- 190 or 195 models: choose the Yamaha 190/195 Garelick Grill / Table Mount Kit at $167.94. It has no angled spacer.
The replacement leg is a stainless steel leg that is TIG welded and polished by hand.
Ordering Your Mount Kit With the Right Spacer and Backing Plate
Before you check out, match three things: your model year, your model family and the spacer your kit includes. Most fit problems come from ordering a kit for the wrong year or boat family.
Use this quick checklist:
- Confirmed the model year of my boat
- Confirmed whether my boat is a 190/195 (no spacer) or another model
- Measured my leg diameter and mount location
Our mount kits include a backing plate, a spacer where applicable, four stainless fasteners, washers and nylon-insert lock nuts. The table itself is not included.
If you are still unsure which kit fits your boat, check the compatibility notes on each product page or compare your measurements with the dimensions above.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which table mount fits my Yamaha boat?
Start with your boat's model year and model family, since Yamaha changed table mount hardware around 2014 and spacer requirements differ between the 190/195 series and newer 2020 and 2021+ models. Check your boat's model year, then match it to the kit listing that names your year and model. Confirm the mount location, rear transom or side, before ordering, and measure your existing mount or leg diameter if you have one. Matching year, family and location together prevents most fitment mistakes.
Are Yamaha boat table mounts interchangeable between models?
Not always. Some kits are built for a specific model year range because the angled spacer or backing plate size changes. The 190/195 series mounts on the transom without the angled spacer, so the kit with the spacer will not be the right fit there. Newer 2021+ kits are specific to the spacer used on those boats. Read each listing's model note carefully and do not assume a kit from one family will fit another.
What measurements should I take before buying a Yamaha table mount?
Measure the outer diameter of your table leg or existing mount post, since Yamaha's OEM leg uses a non-standard 2.125-inch outer diameter. Note your mount location, transom or side, and measure the mounting surface if you plan to use a backing plate. Record your boat's model year from the hull ID plate. Having these numbers ready lets you compare them directly against published dimensions in each kit listing before you order.
What is included in the Yamaha SBT-TBLMT-KT-23 table and mount kit?
Check the product listing for the exact contents, since kit contents vary by model. JewlsCustoms' Garelick mount kits typically include a backing plate, a spacer where required, stainless fasteners, washers and nylock nuts. Confirm the included hardware and whether a table or leg is sold separately before you purchase, because table legs are often a separate item.
