    Carpet, but not where you think

    Thanks, I'll give that a try

    Carpet, but not where you think

    2520 from the year 2005. Carpet is on the ceiling and the walls of the pilot house. It is now raining down carpet lint and dust whenever it is touched or disturbed. Taking a vacuum to it releases a blizzard and seems to make it worse. So, my question: Is there something I can spray on the...

    NC Wildlife Parker

    Could be a great deal or could be a time bomb. When I've seen the LEO boat come back to the slip after being used , it's put up on an in-the-slip lift/ramp. And then the guys lock the door and walk away. I've yet to ever see them flush the outboards. And they recently repowered with...

    Nice finding this today after a cold night.

    Bummer. What caused that?

    Battery Charger/Shore Power

    I went with a NOCO Genius 3 bank. It has been great for many moons. We just received a notice from our marina that specifically cautions against 15 amp extension cords from the pedestal to the boat. Our marina has 30 amp service to each sportboat slip. I had used a Marinco adapter plug to go...

    30 amp inlet install

    Need to install an inlet on my 2520 so I can power an onboard battery charger while the boat is in the slip. I'd appreciate any advice regarding product recommendations, location, etc. For instance, it looks like there is the Marinco stainless steel inlet or a square white inlet. Which do you...

    2005 2520XLD

    I've owned this boat since 2011. Mod Vee with a 2005 Yammy 250. Sits in a slip 15 miles from home. I have allowed this boat to fall into a state of dire appearance. The hull has scuffs, scratches, and dings and the gelcoat is chalky and stained with mold and mildew. But we use the heck out...

    Fuel filler and vent hose replacement

    Sorry, didn't take pics. Both hoses were in pretty good shape. Vent hose had a fair amount of whitish, waxy gunk almost occluding the end where it attaches to the tank fitting. Filler hose was clear but felt like it was a bit funky when you squeezed it or bent it hard; no chunks or flakes...

    Fuel filler and vent hose replacement

    2005 2520xl. I finally bit the bullet and wrestled with replacing these hoses. Surprise! It was easy. Access to both ends was fairly good. And the chase only had a small amount of foam so pulling the hoses through was simple and easy. I would have tackled this a long time ago if I had known...

    2520 XL Forward Bilge

    I have the same situation on my 2520. Sounds like I can skip the endoscope and just get the aft bilge pump out of the way and run the chimney rods forward. I hope I get a gusher.

    Trailerable?

    The width is definitely an issue that I did not fully appreciate before purchasing my 2520. I only tow in California. If I understand the rules, a wide load permit is required and a updated list of road restrictions is sent out weekly. Plus there may be other restrictions and fees applied by...

    Prop is not slipping...

    I moved the transducer about 14 inches to the right. We did a sea trial and no more aeration/cavitation. And, the fish finder keeps workng all the way through 30 miles an hour! In the previous location it would lose the bottom at any speed over 10 mph. During the install we drilled through...

    Prop is not slipping...

    Old thru-hull transducer failed so has been left in place but abandoned. This new transom mount transducer is one of those all-in-one kind that does some imaging out to the sides and towards in front of the boat, meaning it has to be mounted low enough on the transom to get those views. So the...

    Prop is not slipping...

    Finally got the boat onto the trailer and took some pictures. Transducer looks to be too close to the centerline of the hull and may be throwing bubbles at the prop at higher speeds. So I guess we'd call this an aeration problem. At the suggestion of the marine electronics shop, I'm going to...
