    Trip to the mouth of the Chesapeake

    Pugster.. You forgot to tell him about the Tiki Bar near Bay Creek. Great place to throw the hook and a party!

    Got my 9X24 tabs today. Possible problem

    As long as you mount your new tabs flush with your bottom so they do not effect trailering or lifting out with the forks and you reposition your Lenco actuators to correspond with the new size tabs you will be fine. Keep in mind though that you probably will not be able those actuators...

    2520 w/225 0x66 speed

    Bout right. My 2510 with the same motor runs about 28mph at 4200. We don't own speed demons but I am satisfied.

    RingFree ?

    I work at a Yamaha dealership and our techs fully recommend Ring Free to all our customers. They have shown me compression test results before and after Ring Free and I fully agree that it is a great preventative treatment.

    Trim Tab Not Working - Need Suggestions

    You can tell if it's your switch by reversing your wiring on the back of the switch from one side to the other. My bet is that it's the switch.

    anchor windless

    Use to love my anchor windless on a 2510 Parker until I lost the anchor in a hang while bottom fishing with my kids. Never had a problem keeping the anchor line on the windless or retrieiving it. I spliced in a new chain and anchor shortly after but have found the rode will not pick up well...

    Boat Levelers vs. Lenco changeover

    Hey John. Thanks for the detailed reply about your tab upgrade using Boat Levelors parts. Your work and attention to detail was awesome. I'm not a huge Lenco fan but that complete retrofit seemed to be the quickest installation alternative for me. With research; I have learned, the trim...

    Tacoma and a 2120

    I have the same truck and would not want to jeopardize the truck for the boat. Not much power and even less braking. Guys have played around with rear end gear changes in the Tacos to do these kind of things but then you lose your highway performance. Go out and buy a cheap old full size just...

    Boat Levelers vs. Lenco changeover

    I have a 2000 2510 Parker with 11 X 12 boat leveler tabs. As we all know, definately not enough tab for the boat. Somehow, over the course of the last month, I lost a tab off the bottom and sheared the cylinder off as well. There are many combinations of things I could do such as replacing...

    Best propeller for 2510

    Thanks for all of the input fellows. I have a source that will let me try out a few of the options you have suggested. I needed some kind of baseline to go by and was not sure what my maximum under load RPMs should even be with this boat and motor. I am an old diesel guy who truly believes a...

    Best propeller for 2510

    I have a 2001 2510 Parker with a Yamaha saltwater series 225. It has never turned up more than 4800 RPMs under load since I bought the boat used several years ago. The bottom is painted and clean. I can make it turn faster by trimming to the point of cavitation. Because of this I do not think...
