    Found out why my Bowmar hatch was leaking........

    Can someone explain to me the logic behind not sealing the back edge of the hatch? It was installed from the factory like this since we bought the boat new..... Even without the back edge bedded down it took me over an hour to finesse the hatch out of the cutout without bending it...

    2520SL notch, F225 with Rev-4, what hole?

    I am going to raise my motor up before we put her back in the water. I am running the rev-4 17p (pitched "down" to an 18p, it was actually 19p stock according to my prop guy) and it's obviously got tremendous bite. My motor is currently in the lowest or second lowest hole. I can trim it...

    Outriggers (Help Drilling)

    Well after a lot of shopping my dad finally pulled the trigger on some riggers. Got a pair of flush mount bases and some really nice looking 18' black Tigress HD poles with gold trim. Going to gunnel mount them just behind the pilot house. Saw this in a photo and like the look. Any tips on...

    My Cabin Hatch is Leaking

    Last year in a few trips thru rough seas with a lot of water coming up on the forward bow, we had some leakage into the cabin thru the bomar hatch. It's been good since. My dad figured it was not closed properly but I had checked it and it appeared secure. Yesterday we had some serious...

    Who's (2520) motor is up the highest?

    Well I'm planning my winter maintenance, and one of the things I plan to do is raise the motor at least one hole, especially since I have the 4 blade wheel now. From memory I think I am in the second position from full down, so I can go up one or two holes. Is anyone running in the very top...

    Tying off the anchor when using a windlass

    For those of us that have a windlass, when do you guys actually tie off your anchor line to a cleat when anchored? All the time? Never? Rough water? High Winds? Deep Water? I do a lot of fishing in the bays here and a lot of the time I am anchored in 20 feet or less of water in very fair...

    So, the yammie F225 really does make 225hp?

    Read a lot here about how the F225 is "over rated" and actually makes less than 225, while the F250 is rated correctly or even under rated and makes 250hp or more. I was reading and found this test between the honda 225 and yamaha 225, both production engines were dyno tested and both made...

    Well, it's a parker question because it happened in a parker

    I posted the following elsewhere but was wondering if any of the great minds here have any insight...... Were out anchored in edge of a little channel last night, in great bay, about 1 mile or so from the little egg inlet. As the night wore on (fishing was quiet for a while) we noticed a fairly...

    Prop venting

    Will venting a prop have any effect on top end RPM or is it just for holeshot? I've done it before and turned a boat that was slow to plane into a necksnapper, but I never took notice of any top end change. Wasn't ever really looking.... The Rev-4 has removable vent plugs, and I need some...

    Selling my 17P Rev-4, or trade for a 15P

    Hey, Don't get me wrong I love this prop, however after filling the gas tank this weekend and taking a fishing trip with the family this morning, the 17P rev 4 is holding my rpm's down a little lower than I like. With a full load (150 gallons gas, six adults and a kid, tackle boxes...

    This was my first time catching black drum, had gone for them before but never had luck. Tonight was the night, boated these two and lost two others due to bad knots (NOT MINE!!!). Also a ton of other fish (dogs, skates, a little blue). Small one is 57 pounds and big one has to go to the...

    Revolution 4 on 2520SL w/ F225, WOW!!!!

    Picked up a rev 4 (14 5/8 X 17) on ebay and it came today. Threw it on the F225 after work. FYI, the included hub kit worked fine on the Yamaha F225. The only difference was that the hub kit came with a nylon lock nut and a metal tabbed cover to lock the nut for use on a merc outboard. We...

    Fluke Season's Open

    Got 2 decent keepers Saturday. A few throwbacks and a few skates. Nice day out on the water (actually managed to get out on the boat all 3 days of this long weekend!).

    Saw our big brother this weekend, twice.

    This guy was tooling around the bay both Sunday and Monday (maybe Saturday too but didn't see him out that day.). Nice looking boat. Bay was a sloppy 2' chop Monday from the high wind and it looked like the 28 was just gliding over it.

    Trim Display Not Working

    Hey, 2005 2520SL with F225, bought new last year. This is the second season in the water. The trim display on the factory yamaha meter is not working this year, it shows full down trim no matter what position the motor is in. Anything quick I can check? I looked quickly for wires or a trim...

    2520SL Trailerers!

    Trying to set up our new Sea Lion bunk trailer to at least be close for the first time we pull the boat up onto it. It's a 26T-8100.

    Quick Question - Trailer Capacity

    Hey, Looking at trailers for our 2520. What's the minimum recommended carrying capacity for a trailer for the 2520 with F225, full tank of gas, and minimal amount of gear? I'm thinking 7000 but what is the general consensus?
