    modifying my 2520 to add bench seat

    I had one done in my 2520 this spring. I had the bench seat, and basically built it up so now the bench seat is 10 inches higher so people could see out, and underneath is sinker/tackle storage which doubles as a foot rest.

    Yami stalling issues (UPDATED ON LATER POST)

    Well this spring we did a bunch of maintainence items on the motor. Low pressure fuel pumps, new VST filter, plugs, etc. So when the boat was launched the first thing I did was take it out and open it up. It didnt stall at WOT so I thought I was in the clear. Fast forward about 150 gals of run...

    Mounting bait tank on bracket

    So if im understanding this correctly, the weight of the tank shouldnt be an issue on the bracket. However, it could effect the ride cause of the added weight on one side?? Im thinking netting a scup or bunker out of the tank with a net should be pretty easy from inside the boat.

    Mounting bait tank on bracket

    The problem with draining the tank out the scupper is the drain hose is a 2 inch hose and the scuppers are 1 inch. The 2 inch hose is actually not even big enough to drain the the same amount of water the pump puts out causing overflow. I considered making the drain hose hole lower in the tank...

    Mounting bait tank on bracket

    I guess the big question is, would it do any damage to the bracket? I'm not to concerned with it changing the ride to much as the distance traveled isn't to far, 2-8 miles in the Sound. The boat has the stock tabs on it.

    Mounting bait tank on bracket

    11 Days til the launch date with the new boat!! So as im preparing the boat for the season, Ive been trying to figure out where to mount the 30 gal bait tank. The problem with keeping it inside the boat is the tank is lower then the gunwales so the drain hose would have to be higher then the...

    How will it perform....???

    The max HP rating is 500. I was thinking the same thing. Why would they mount a bracket that could only handle the weight of half the rated HP. I will have to give Parker a call and see what they have to say. It really isnt cost effective for me to buy a new motor at this point. We always split...

    How will it perform....???

    Ive been doing a little thinking and a little planning for the future. I have a 2002 2520 DV with a 250 OX66 on a bracket. I was on the phone the other day with Armstrong Brackets ordering some touch up paint. While I had him on the line i told him what boat I had and asked if I could put a...

    Bench rebuild---hole drilling question

    Last fall I purchased John From Madisons Parker 2520DV. Now that spring has arrived in the Northeast its time to prep for the big splash. One of the many little project im doing is building the bench seat up. The 1 day we fished the boat last fall the people sitting in the bench hated how you...

    BIGGER trim tab question

    Right now the stock 12x12s are on it. I'm looking to put 12x24s on. Thanks for the info! It'll save me a nice chunk of change just changing the tab itself.

    BIGGER trim tab question

    Though the hours of research I have done in the last 6 months regarding Parker's, one thing that seems pretty important, for more then one reason, is installing bigger trim tabs. My question is, could I just buy a replacement 12x24 and keep the same actuators and everything else? Or do they have...

    Yami stalling issues (UPDATED ON LATER POST)

    Would any of these maintenance items cause bad fuel economy? or is it possible the new yami fuel management sensor is off?
