    Looking for options to cover over an old dash install

    I'm replacing my old Furuno radar with a Simrad Halo 20+. Since I will no longer need the Furuno MFD, I'm replacing it with a Simrad NSX 7" that will fit flush in the dash in its place. Problem is, the Furuno's going to leave a bigger hole than the NSX 7 is going to fill. First thought is...

    Simrad 9" EVO3s install

    My Furuno 1724C and DFF1 fishfinder were nearing 15yrs old and the DFF1 gave out on me. No signal to the transducer. There weren't any great options for just replacing the DFF module so it was time to finally upgrade. I installed this new Simrad 9" EVO3s and a StructureScan 3D module. Until...

    bow roller upgrade

    Tired of the anchor not free falling reliably so upgraded to an Anchorlift roller with hinged self-launching feature. (Model# 90103) A little pricey, but it dressed up the bow with a much nicer chrome finished part as well. Another benefit is being longer than the original roller the steel...

    Lewmar profish 700 disassembly question

    I need to perform some service on my windlass and having trouble removing the "drive cap" (part with the sailfish logo). The user manual just says: 1) remove shoulder screw from drive cap. 2) remove drive cap Ok, I removed the center "shoulder screw" and washer but the drive cap isn't coming...

    2120 helm chair upgrade

    If there was one thing to not like about the Parker, it would be the stock helm seats. I swapped out 2 different chairs from the dealer and the sliders on both of them wouldn't stay locked in place. I always wanted to upgrade to the ladder back model, but instead of getting the upgraded Parker...

    new ground tackle for my 2120

    Originally equipped with a Lewmar claw 11# (5Kg) but earlier this season I lost it to a rocky bottom that just wouldn't let go and ended up having to cut the rode. An excuse to upgrade all around... The old setup: 150' 3-strand with 15' chain and 11# Lewmar Claw. The Lewmar Claw wouldn't...

    2120 DVSC F225 performance after raising moter

    Here's a new chart of the performance on my 2120 with F225 spinning the 15.75x15 Yamaha Saltwater Series II after raising the motor up 1 bolt hole from the factory location. Every possible measure of goodness was improved: I could get on plane at lower RPM, less porpoising and better fuel...

    Quick bench seat storage modification

    Just a couple things I did to the cabin interior that only took about 2hrs and $20 to make it a lot more functional and comfortable for me... The aft hatch under the bench seat had a plastic enclosure installed which held 3 plano organizer boxes but this just ate up too much potential storage...
