SeaTow SiriusXM Marine Spot X BuoyWeather Garmin Active Captain

Motor was installed at K & K in Island Park (only availability post Covid,) did a nice job but once paid for wasn't very helpful with a few minor issues I ran into. The captain went into Island Park and picked up

I'm also in Huntington, boat is kept in Montauk. Replaced a 2006 F250 in 2021 with a 300hp on my 2006 2520XL. The F250 had 1800 hours with the same issue, corrosion in the exhaust. I marketed the motor on Facebook and sold to a charter captain in Montauk for $3000.

looks great, thanks for the info, I'll take a look at CE Smith......I like the use of the forward location for the center rigger....did you use any type of "grip" under the clamp or attach directly to aluminum?

Antidote, I have the same rocket launcher on my 2520....I want to add additional rod holders for offshore gear....where did you get yours ? I've looked at quite a few and the quality varies widly....I like Lee's Tackle but very pricey....do you feel the clamp on is sufficient for internationals...

I had a a similar issue last season with a small mercury outboard that I use on a RIB Fluid leaking from the prop area Dissembled the prop shaft housing and there was about 10 yards of braid wrapped up in the housing It damaged the oil seal I replaced the oil seal and bearings All good...

Purchased new at White Water Marine on Long Island, NY in July 2006 2520XL with a F250 Yamaha.....options included 2nd station, rocket launcher, cockpit combing pads, spreader lights and Lewmar windlass.....$46,900 did my own electronics package, have since updated the electronics with Garmin...

Thanks for the advice, I was unaware BEP was a superior product

I never did get a chance to start that project, on the list for the Spring as far as equipment I did conclude that NOCO is the way I'll go Does anyone know the brand battery switch Parker currently uses and have a good pic of the location Thank you

The shore power adds a lot more to the project than I was aware of.... thanks for all the great input.... the NOCO chargers appear to get the most votes. Does anyone have pics of relocating the battery switch from the bilge to above board.....I can't tell from the gallery pics on Parker's...

Good point.....Yes I do keep it in a slip....I'll check that today.....

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice, I've been looking at the Noco Genius and looks like that's the direction I'll go

Great information, thank you Mike, my plan is to have the project completed in the Spring.....the battery switch is located under the aft deck ( a bit of a nuisance,) I'd like to relocate the battery switch as part of this project.....Is your battery switch and charger located above the deck ?

I'm considering adding a battery charger/shore power to my 2006 Parker 2520XL......Charger would be utilized for deep cycle and starter battery. Has anyone completed this upgrade....any suggestions on selection of battery charger ? Thanks

I own a 2006 2520 XL Modified V....repowered with a 2021 Yamaha 300 hp.....cruise at 25 plus with three adults and a full load of offshore gear, top end 30 plus.... Great fuel economy
