I have one of these too. I have the adapter to run from a 20lb tank that I keep outside the cabin. You can also fill the little cylinders from a 20lb tank with a refill adapter, but they only refill about half ways, but still cheaper than buying new ones. I have a 2520 and my heater sits on the...

Just cause you are fishing doesn't mean a "vessel engaged in fishing" Rule 3 (d) The term "vessel engaged in fishing" means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls or other fishing apparatus which restrict maneuverability, but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other...

Not placing blame, but just having a discussion about the nav rules. Assuming the parker was "drifting" and not anchored. Would not both rule 5 and 7 apply to the Parker also?

My 2 cents. I have a 2002 2520 XL Bought it with 225 Yamaha in 2010. standard Yamaha prop 17p. 5300 WOT 29 kts. Long time to get on plane with heavy load (5-6 people). Switched to Power tech OFS4 15.25x14p 5800 WOT 28 knots Much better out of the hole and midrange 22kts cruise at 4500...

Full transom and bracket will give go a lot more space on the boat, but it will be 2+' longer. handling around the marina will be a little better with the notched transom.

Teak Bench. Very classy. $5-600 will get you a nice bench. Use waterproof glue when you assemble it, and oil it one a year. Search online

I have a 2002 f225 with 775 hours. it is on a 2520 I just got the boat a few months ago. The exhaust always sounds a little loud to me, but different engines sound different and it was my first Yamaha, didnt give it alot of thought. I have noticed that when th engine is runnign there is a...

That price sounds alot better. Magebyte, yes I saw the electric one. I need alot more than 300 watts. The water temp here is about 40 and will be in the low 30s by february. I need something that can give me decent heat on days when it is 20. I dont need it to be 72 in the cabin, but at least...

Rotted stringer? my heart sank. I took another look today and the stains are not coming from the back of the stringers like in Tims pictures. I will try to invert myself in the bilge with a flashlight and mirror sometime soon. PS the bilge is not usually that wet, but it was raining that day.

Megabyte I did see that topic thanks. No offense, but if the water here was 60 degrees I wouldnt need heat. I like that Webasto unit, but I like the $2,700 in my pocket better. Anybody else?

How well did this unit work out? How much heat do you really get?

I live in Maine and want to run the boat all winter as a commuter. Anybody added heat, and what success have you had? I cannot use propane. I came across these heated seat liners that would be neat I thought. http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/pecafidutewa.html All ideas are welcome Thanks

I have serious staining in the rear bilge area. I cant see far enough up to see a source. My first thought was bracket bolts, but those are stainless and I cant locate any in the right area to be the source. the boat is a 2002 2520 with bracket. The stains seems to be getting worse. Please help.

About the ballast, it seems they only added the ballast when the boat was set up a a single engine. Makes sense they would have to account for the difference in transom weight.

Anybody done this before? I am buying a 2003 2520. I want to remove the anchor pulpit and windlass. I rarely anchor, but frequently need to maneuver in tight spaces. I know I will need to remove the bow rail, and I dont plan to reinstall it. Other than that it seems pretty straight-forward to...
