There is a mechanical paired kit that uses a single shift throttle mechanism. It is the kobelt 2091 and 2093. I installed it myself and it was really cool once finished. Beautifully designed. ~2k all in.

Thanks!!!

What is the best way to clean this stuff?? I have some stubborn rust stains I would love to get out!

So long story short I was envious of the 'dual station' guys being able to drive from the roof. I became motivated, after talking to kidfreediver (if I remember correctly), he gave me the last vote of confidence I needed to believe I could figure out the rigging myself. That conversation...

Really? Do they last long term in a salty environment? (My boat lives in the pacific ocean) They seem fairly inexpensive... ~$150 (with the comparable Edson at ~$500) Good to know for next time!

My follow up is that this wheel (a knock off of the Edson) rusts quickly (by quickly, after 6-months in a damp marine environment, it is starting to get rust spots in the spokes). I had some extra white awlgrip paint so I just painted the spokes. Wish I would have just sacked up and got a more...

Thanks for posting!!

I agree with the permatrim. I have one too. Get it from Andy at sim Yamaha.

Call ken at propgods. He should have a good idea what will work well for you. And sell you the right prop for the job. I have an F250 on a 2320 and run a Rev4 17 (I think) and had a mirage 18 before that. Good luck!

I listened to Grouperjim and put the permatrim on my 2320. While I was convincing my 'old school' mechanic it was 'what i wanted'. He thought I was on drugs as we were drilling the lower unit with 12 holes on a perfectly good F250. Best decision I ever made with the boat , besides buying it...

Good to know about those bulbs. Thanks for posting!

That looks killer!

Again, the amount of rust that has accumulated on the stock Parker steering wheel, has gotten me motivated to breath a little more life back into the boat. I bought a Sea Choice 15.5" steering wheel with a turning knob. The install was super easy and the boat again 'gets me more excited than my...

I was one click away from ordering that one too... For whatever reason I bought the other one... And I was thinking about the plastic finish as well.

I got tired of looking at the rusted bucket look of the 'stock' light Parker installs. I eyeballed it and ordered a new bitchen LED light from marine beam.com. I even opted for the fancy titanium nitride finish so it will hopefully hold up a lot longer. (It's a brass look, and the coating is...

I will add my .02 here. I run a Lewmar windlass with my 2320. I also use a 'pucker' aka release rig, on my anchor in the event we hang up the anchor badly. http://s9.photobucket.com/user/dhmojo/m ... r.jpg.html I got fancy and bought a $200 22lb 316 anchor on eBay. Also 3' of 316 chain. The...

My top speed with the F250 is 40 mph. However, in the pacific I can rarely run it like that. IMHO, if I were to be looking at new motors I would look at the Suzuki 300... Just an FYI I like the 4 blade better than the 3 blade I mentioned in the post above. My mpg is 2.2-2.5 running planing...

I have the raymarine EV with the .5 pump. It is installed with the outboard rudder feedback which made a huge difference. So far i love it.

I may be a little slow on this comment, what is "LU surface area"? (I am guessing Lower Unit? What doe you mean here?) I also have a permatrim on my boat (which was an awesome addition, thanks again Grouperjim for the great advice), so I am thinking about raising it one hole. However, I dont...

So I had a mercury mirage plus 18p and just got a rev4 17p. (I have a 2320 with an F250) I just put it on the same hub from the mirage. I am confirming they are interchangeable right? (It snugged up with the prop wrench) There are 4 dime-size holes with plastic covers on the base of the rev4...
