    what factors affect rpm?

    I have a 2003 2120 sc with a 150 yamaha ox66 with 460 hours. With the exception of a few VST filter issues she runs great. My only concern is that at WOT I have only gotten her up to 4900 rpm (according to the yami gauge) I usually top out at about 28mph at this level. I have read that this...

    VST Filter... Am I the only one having trouble???

    I'm running a 2002 ox66 150 hp which I bought last year. Replaced the VST twice last year and will be doing it again after work tonight. I've put 148 hours on since buying the boat. (410 total hours) I've been using the Yamaha water separator ( 2 per season ) and replaced the filter element from...

    water pump, any thoughts before I pull the boat???

    Ran the boat all day Sunday with no issues. Go down last night and within 50 yards from the slip the overheat alarm sounds. I realize that I'm not getting a drop from the telltale. Back at the slip I tried a little piece of wire inserted into the tube and also blew some air into it with no...

    Boat name removal

    I want to rename my parker but first must remove the previous owners work. Looks like it is just vinyl letters. I didn't try yet but it looks like I just find the edge and peeloff. Any tips from someone who has been there? Heat? Paint scraper? Also I changed the registration numbers and there is...

    a thought about rocket launchers...

    I just finished my first season in my 2120 sc. Love the boat. My thought for a winter project is to reverse the rocket launcher so it is forward facing. With two guys casting lures in the back I had maybe a half dozen times where somebody snagged one of the rods in the launcher, usually during...

    putting your trailer on blocks

    I have a 2120 sc and will keep it on the trailer for the winter. Any pro or cons to blocking up the trailer. Seems like it would take a load off the springs and tires. Any downsides?. What do you guys with trailers do?

    trailer question

    I'm looking for a trailer for my 2120 sc. I don't plan to use it for anything other than winter storage and to drop in and take out to start and end the season. Can anyone give an opinion on galvanized vs aluminum?

    VST FILter issues

    I replaced the VST filter in April when she started to bog down when I hit a wake or a wave. Those of you who have had issues no the drill. Had to do it again last week after about 80 hours of use. The question that comes to mind is if this is going to be a regular part of my seasonal...

    power tilt and trim switch problem

    Just started having trouble with my '02 yamaha pwr t&t switch. I'm referring to the rocker switch on the throttle as the switch on the motor works fine. The up position only works on the first try about half of the time. If I hit down and immediately hit up it usually works. Sometimes if I hold...

    fuel consumption

    I'm 4 months into my new to me '02 2120 sc w/ 150 yamaha 2 srtroke. Thrilled with the boat and it has met or exceeded all my expectations. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was how much more fuel I burn than my previous boat (17' cc w 85 hp) I dont have a floscan meter so I can't easily...

    spreader light problem

    Spreader lights worked fine now out of the blue they trip the breaker. Usually happens as I hit hhe switch but occasionally they'll work for as much as 7 -8 minutes then trip. I'm not sure if the breaker is bad or not. I notice that I have an accessory switch that I don't think operates...

    sierra replacement filter

    I was going to replace the filter element and noticed I bought a different one than what was on there. I have a sierra 18-7945 currrently and bought the 18-7944. Both are 10 micron but the 45 is a little longer. Anyone know if these are interchangeable? Also having a tough time getting it off...

    parker 21' pilothouse

Turns out the boat was no longer available by the time I called but the broker strongly reccomended I consider another boat in that size class because he said the Parker gave a very hard and uncomfortable ride in a moderate...
