I mounted the Min. Quick release on the aluminum swim platform. Didn’t get to use but am looking forward to trying in the spring. I got a riptide w gps and auto pilot. It’s deck (pulpit) mount. Downside is I can’t lay motor down in up position. I have to lift engine off of mount. Otherwise I am...

I checked out what is exposed from access rings front and rear of deck when I inspected the boat prior to purchase and it was spic and span (surprisingly for a 2002 2520 xl sport cabin). Checked sending unit from hatch and the seal and lip was S&S also. I am going to change the fuel fill fitting...

This is all the fuel I had at time of smell.

I took in gas for the first time and only filled half way. A week after using the boat for a short run, I went to get a fender out of the starboard under locker and there was a strong gas smell. I took everything out and ran a fan to clear the smell. I looked and saw a hose (fuel?) on the...

Btw, do u know how big a holding tank they use (gallons not physical dimensions)?

Thx for replying. I couldn’t play the video on my phone. I will try seeing on my laptop latter but I get the idea. Seems like the ajoining starboard (or port) locker to center would not be a bad compromise that I could do wo cutting the cabin floor.

Thx for ur reply. Sounds like a winter lay-up job to me. For now, I found a quick fix, other than ignoring the stain which I find tough to do on my new/old boat. I am replacing the under washer w/ a bigger washer. Found by accident when I went to hardware store looking for some replacement...

Would those work for patching through holes in interior from past owners projects. How do u clean the left over rust stains from cabin ceiling (unless this question should be in a different string?).

Saw this one and believe it will fit. Haven’t looked at all reviews yet.

Wow a lot for me to digest thanks. I had a 1992 Sea Ray Sundancer 500 and it had two vacuflush toilets w nylon or some such 50 gal tank in the engine room. No odors anywhere in cabin. Maybe tiny bit when we pumped out. I liked those toilets better than the ones in my house. Lol thanks for info...

Thx for reply.

Thx

Thx Cbigma. One of my first projects will be putting in a vacuflush toilet. R there any plans on how Parker puts in toilet and the holding tank and pump out in on current 2520’s?

Hi Andy. Hope Capt. Greg is not too hokie. I was gonna go w greg but figured it’s prob taken. Thx for ur reply. I really appreciate ur sentiment and I mostly meant the privilege of us all owning such great boats (exclusive in that way). And I do love my new girl.

Thanks for the reply. What is above is already way more than I had and much is relevant. I don’t have anything old to contribute but I am outfitting my boat now and will add new manuals from at least Garmin radar and Lewmar windlass and see where it goes from there. Thanks again.
