How is the floor of the anchor box normally raised. I was considering spray foam. Ej

I have a 2520. I want my bilge dry! Unfortunately, rain and rinse down water enters my anchor box. A parker blunder in my opinion. Has anybody rerouted the drain thru the hull? If so send me pictures. Ej

I believe it does. But who cares if you have spot lock on ur trolling motor. If you use ur anchor that would be a problem..... Depending on where the base of the TM is located. With a long shaft it would end up on the front of the bunk section of pilot house when it is up. I haven't figured out...

I've been pondering this issue. I'm a Minn Kota fan. Never heard of the other brand. I have the west coast rail. It might not clear when raising and lowering. I was going to build a wood mock up and test. Considering cutting the front u shaped portion of rail and fitting with pins to remove when...

Wow! That is an upgrade! Is the boat even rated for a 250? I have a 06 2120 and a tired f150. I run hard 28-30 mph. Fuel burn 2.4 mpg. More like 1.8 mpg loaded. I have considered a 200. My boat max hp is 225. The only problem is weight and fuel capacity. What is ur fuel burn? How did it...

I have a 2120. Love it. When I go albacore fishing there just isn't enough space for fish storage. I put a large ice chest on top of the pilot house, another in the pilot house, and one on deck. I'm planning on the 25 pilot next. I want to cut a large hole in the deck forward of the bulkhead...

I have a 06(APRIL) 2120dvsc. After refueling and not overfilling the tank; pressure builds up in the tank on warm days and fuel is forced out through the vent. What is my problem? I try not to over fill the tank and stop when I hear the fuel start making a girgleing sound at the vent. The...

I have a 06 2120dvsc and a 06 Yamaha f150. With the Lowrances HDS 5 gps/ff and command link gauges (square) do I have many options? Do I contact local marine store, Lowrance, or Yamaha? Does anybody have any systems they could recamend? Any info would help. thanks ej :?: :? :!:

Am interested in an autopilot system for my boat. I have an 06 2120dvsc with a Yamaha F150. I have a Lowrance HDS 5 GPS/FF. Square comand link gauges. Any insight on this one folks? :? :? :?

Capt kevin, The wood will be exposed to the elements. Also it will be in a high traffic area with a good chance of being hit with heavy jigs and other heavy items (i.e., hand gaffs, lead balls and downrigger weights). I'm looking for a product that can take punishment! The polyeurithane I...

I have a project involving some really cool marine plywood that has some form of mahogany on the outter layers. What is a good product to finish the wood? I have used marine varnish in the past and I was not happy with it after few years. What about some sort of marine polyeurithane? or just...

I captains (DaleH & megabyte) I will address this issue promptly! Thanks ej on the side.

Thanks for that! I will get right on the dry out program. She is an 06. Hopefully she hasn't suffered to much. The poor thing is finally in good hands! Wharf rat on the side. ej

Thank you for the info DaleH! I'm hoping the deck will work for this season. I figured the job would be more than a can of rustoleum and some sand from the sand box! We think alike and this fall the project will begin. Also, I caught that stuff about the venting of the bilge. The old...

I have an 06 2120dvsc and the last owner whore the deck texture almost completely off (a commercial boy)! Does anybody have a line on a product to redo the deck? I would like to bring it back to the original texture. If that is not possible just something that gives me some traction. Pacific...
