    Best trim tabs for 2530 running around southern ca channels

    I have the same boat boat, same ride! I have a pair of the larger tabs that the new 2530 is equipped with from Parker 14 X 18 (I think), I haven't installed them b/c I am selling my boat for something larger. They were $650 + tax from the local Parker dealership, they are sitting in a box in...

    Larger tabs

    I purchased the new 20" tabs that come on the new 2012 2530, I'm curious if anyone else did this upgrade, do I need longer rams or will the original ones work?

    Larger tabs

    Sorry I should've clarified that the 30" K-planes I wouldn't want to fish around. I do bring out unexperienced people that get caught up the motors. The width wouldn't matter at all..... All I am saying is there is a lot of posts about making improvements to the boats ride, 4 blades, larger...

    Larger tabs

    I agree, they are well made boats and there really isn't much else in this class that will do all the same. The reason I mention it is, everyone complains about the ride has ways to improve the way the boat handles. I installed 4 blades this morning and they helped, but the boat still rides...

    Larger tabs

    They usually mount a few inches from the bottom of the hull to reduce drag while not being used and not over-tabbling while running hard and stuffing the bow in rough conditions. They probably work well but I wouldn't want to fish around 30" tabs while drifting the inlets. Why hasn't Parker...

    Lower unit swap?

    the boat is very fat with a full tank of fuel but as far as I can tell there is absolutely no difference at all. Time to look at alternative options. The motors are also on the very top holes maybe raising them will help but really I need to slow the boat down! It runs 46 at wot, I wouldn't...

    Lower unit swap?

    I'll let you know, you must have a similar ride to mine if not worse with the additional weight from the 200s. The boat Is downright fast but it only handles well when your really moving quickly. I had a Scarab 302 that was the same way. I'm in no rush anymore I just want the most comfortable...

    Lower unit swap?

    Thanks Dale, the boat definitely over performs at 46mph at wot. It rides very light in the bow unless I run it like a performance boat. I think this will help get the stern up like it would on a performance boat but probably not help with low plane speed. I have a trailer now so I can play...

    Lower unit swap?

    I have a 2530 Parker with twin 4 stroke 150s. I have the standard 3 blade props that it came equipped with. I was contemplating switching to 4 blades to get a slower plane speed. A friend that used to own one with twins mentioned swapping the lower units, it gave him some much needed stern...

    Electrolysis problem on engine bracket

    The boat is in my father's backyard, the other boats have some wear on the zincs buy nothing like my boat. I am pretty convinced it's my boat but it's going in this week, dc power only, battery switches off, everything off, then I'm gonna haul it, inspect it, and hopefully it will show no...

    Electrolysis problem on engine bracket

    I am going to install a galvanic isolator and really, I don't need to leave the a/c power plugged in but I hate that there is something wrong and I am avoiding it instead of fixing it.....

    Electrolysis problem on engine bracket

    The dealership painted the bottom and the bracket, they say they are all painted the same and they haven't had a problem. I am going to use trilux 33 this season hopefully it helps. Thank you

    Electrolysis problem on engine bracket

    My boat is a 2009, it was in the water from the time I purchased it new May 2009 until the end of November. I have a ring of electolysis corrosion around the whole aluminum engine bracket and the zincs are 95% gone. I have read up on the causes of Electrolysis, galvanic corrosion, different...

    command link connection to nmea 2000

    Nevermind!!! I answered my own question, I bought a cable on ebay made by, MARETRON for $115, just in case anyone sees this and wants hook theirs up also. Why wouldn't Yamaha or Garmin (or any other company that uses nmea 2000) make their own cable for this and explain it in more detail in the...

    command link connection to nmea 2000

    As far as yamaha makes it sound it should be plug and play but I don't see anything on the back of the guages or command link that would just "plug in"... you think it would come pre-wired, has anyone done this? why hasn't everyone done this that has command link and a nmea 2000 system, it's...
