    Underwater lights?

    Very easy install, we used the bracket mounting bolts as a guide for where we should drill. We drilled from inside the bracket into the boat. The complete install took my brother and I about 3hrs. You have the option of wires out the top or out the back, wires out the back make for a much...

    Tuna fishing!

    What size tuna do you guys catch up there? We use Avet PRO EX30/2 speeds down here in Texas. They will easily handle tuna over 100lbs and are much more balanced (less top heavy) on the rod due to their smaller size than a 50W. We run 500 yards 80lb powerpro with a 80lb top shot and then 25yds...

    Underwater lights?

    Here are a few of pics of the lights from coastalnightlights.com. In the water the lights produce a 50ft to 70ft halo of light around the back of the boat.

    Underwater lights?

    http://coastalnightlights.com/ I have four of his double long greens on the back of my 2520. They put out a ton of light, draw very low amps and they will not break the bank. The lights are very well constructed and easy to mount. Oh yea and the Tuna love em see :D Jason.

    who has a 2520 dv with 4 blade props

    Mike I have seen .1-.3mpg improvement depending on speed, load and sea conditions. At cruise we seem to have improved a little over .1mpg in our normal gulf chop conditions. The motors have been raised one hole. Jason

    who has a 2520 dv with 4 blade props

    Mike I have your boat and just put powertech 4 blades on a few weeks back. See my post below....new 4blades on the F150s. We have run 3 trips so far and love the props, the low speed planing is great and the bite is 100% better than the yamaha black 3 blades. I would recommend the powertech...

    New 4 blades on the F150s

    Finally had a chance to finish out the testing with the new props on the F150s (on a bracket) 2520DV PH. We switched from the Yamaha black steel 13.75X17 to the Powertech OFS 4 blades 15.25X15 and I have to say at first I was skeptical if the F150s would be able to spin those props. They are...

    Twin 150's on 2510DVWA, Fuel economy, etc.?

    I run a 2520 dv with F150s on a bracket, our long run off the coast of Texas for tuna is 110miles one way.... So when we make that run we are loaded HEAVY. 223gallons of fuel, ~500lbs of ice, food and drinks, ~400lbs of gear and 5-6guys depending on who goes. My estimate is we are somewhere...

    LED Underwater Lights

    We have 4 of the double wide greens mounted on the 2520 two facing back off the transom and two facing sideways off the bracket. They put out a ton of light and were a snap to install. Get the wire out the back small hole through the transom, a little 5200 and a couple of screws makes for a...

    lenco home made upgrade

    Robert thanks for the info. I guess I jumped the gun, I was thinking you put yours on with an offset. I'm going to install the 18's however the extra 6in will be inward offsetting the actuator. I have a welding shop that will fab mine for me, this will allow me to use all the existing screw...

    lenco home made upgrade

    Robert can you post some pics of your install? What you did is exactly what I want to do to mine. I don't want to move the actuator just upgrade to the 18's.

    FUel water separator

    Do as Dale suggested order the Racor from surplus unlimited for 75$. I have two on my Parker from them. You will like the fact you have a clear bowl on the btm, this allows you to see how much water you are moving if any, and what your fuel looks like. If you have an older boat having the...

    150 HPDI VS 200 HPDI on Parker 2520DV?

    You can't go wrong with either of your choices as stated above 2 or 4 that is a personal preference. I have owned 2 strokes since the late 70’s purchased a 2520dvsc in 05 with twin F-150s on a bracket. After 2 years of running the F-150s I would not own another 2 stroke (just my preference) as...

    2520 dvsc with twins

    Mike, I see you’re from TX. Where do you live, I'm in the Houston area and would be more than willing to give you a ride on mine. I have the 2520dvsc with twin F150s on a bracket. This is all the power you will ever need. I usually fish with 5-6 guys, 173gallons gas, and a full 270qt Ice...
