    Radar and Auto Pilot

    I have a 2013 Garmin 5212 Chartplotter, radar and autopilot. The chartplotter is touch screen which in my opinion is the only way to go. Radar works great but I did have problems with my auto pilot and have replaced it once at the 5 years mark. I average about 100-120 hrs per year so the...

    2530 Repower Options: F150s vs. F200?

    I own a 2013 2520 XLD with twin F200Xb's. Engines are great except if you keep your boat in a slip make sure your dock fuel is 89 octane or you'll be hauling gas down to the boat if the harbor will allow it. Yamaha tech's say the engines will knock if you use 87 and cause engine damage.

    2520 xld front bilge

    I own a 2012 2520 XLD. The front bilge located in the cabin floor collects rain water from the anchor locker lid during rain storms. There is a sleeve at the rear of the front bilge area that seems to go nowhere. I assumed it was there to allow the water to drain to the rear bilge area thru the...
