I have a Yamaha 250 4 stroke and when I started it I noticed water coming out from under the motor cover. I traced it back to a hose that popped off. It is located on the port side of the engin and the water is running through the engine and this hose seems to feed the tell tale discharge. The...

Guys, I am back and sorry but haven't been around in a while. This was always a great site for me and I always enjoyed it. In Sept of 2015 my Yamaha F250 had a major failure with only 120 hours on it. The factory Rep came to the dealer to inspect and they were unable to identify the cause of the...

I have an old Taylor Made hatch above the v-berth of my 2310 that has a bad water leak when it rains. The past few times it rained the water just seemed to come pouring in :( , fortunately my cushions are still inside from winter. I checked and the bedding of the frame seems to be fine and not...

Guys, I am getting canvas for my boat and I need some ideas from existing 2310 owners that are happy with their design. Thanks Walt

Is there anyone that happens to be from the Rockland / Camden area of Maine here. I am about to make a purchase of some land that is about 20 minutes from the coast, I am going to build a home on it in about two years. In the mean time I am trying to learn more about the locations and costs that...

Gentlemen, I am re-powering my Parker 2310 with a new Yamaha 250 High Power. It is model number F250BTXR. I can’t find any performance bulletins on the engine with a similar boat. Do any of you have one or can you point me in the right direction for some stats. Thanks

Guys, I was cleaning up my boat to sand and put on a new coat of bottom paint when i came across a chip in the hull on the forward port side about 5" below the water line. I do not recall seeing it when i pulled the boat and cleaned it this past winter. The hole is not all the way in and...

Guys, I just retired from my job after twenty five years, well semi-retired, i plan to begin consulting in the future. I am going to take a few months off before i start up again. But first i wanted to take few weeks down where it is warm and get in some fishing. I decided to go and rent a...

Well i had to pull my boat yesterday :( and cant wait to get her back in the water. But thought i would share this photo with you guys; my son was happy to announce that he beat me at the first fish of the new year. He was fly fishing for trout in a local creek on New Years day. It had a lot...

I have a question for anyone who may already have these reels, i just picked up two Penn TRQ 200 reels for jigging offshore. They have a 6.3-1 gear ratio so they are quick and not heavy. I have not gotten any rods yet, still looking at them. My question is about the line, they hold 450 yard of...

Good morning all, I trust you enjoyed the fishing this summer. I know that we did, I continue to go out when I can and we plan to keep the boat in the water as long as possible again this year. My 2310 is currently outfitted with a single OX66 Yamaha 225 Salt Water Series. I am minutes away from...

Well, I completed a lot of updates to the boat this winter and she is running just fine. That said, after I got her back in the water I discovered that my engine tilt is working, but very slow to move and seems like it may be in need of hydraulic fluid? Has anyone ever had to add or change the...

Guys i have a question for you. I have purchased a new life raft and cradle (costal commander 6) and i am also in the process of buying a new radar system. Both of them are to be mounted on the hardtop of my boat. the question is this; what do i need to do to seal the bolt holes if anything...

I currently do not have a spare prop on board and want to buy one before the season starts again. I seem to remember that Megayte and TimC2520 are running the same engine as I am. My question is what is a good prop to run on it while pushing the 2310 DV? I found a performance bulletin that...

I run a 2310 off shore and currently run it with a single Yamaha 225. I am thinking about getting a kicker for trolling not to metion a back up in the event the main fails. I just saw the Yamaha guy at the Baltimore boat show and they had a 8hp, four-stroke, high thrust kicker engine. It has a...

I have the boat out of the water for the next few months :cry: and my wife wants me to install a few things to make it more comfortable for her on our fishing trips. I plan to install a small sink for freshwater, a 700 watt microwave and additional 110v power that can be attached to a generator...

Guys, My boat slip has had the fresh water turned off for the season, but i am still in the water and plan to continue to finsh until January. My problem is that i fludh the engine every time i return from sea with fresh water and Salt-Away. Now that i have no fresh water, i am looking for a...

Guys, I went out for a ride in the boat tonight because it is the first time it has not stormed in the past week and i am pulling the boat in the morning to do other work. While i was out i was cruising along at 20 MPH with no problem, when i moved it up to 25 MPH the engine started to back down...

I will have my boat out of the water this week; I have a new hard top being installed, and want to replace the stats and a pump kit while it is on land. It is a Yamaha 225, (1999) I have the parts because they came with the boat but I can’t get a manual fast enough with any description or...

I just purchased a 2310, that is a 1999 model with a Y225 on it. I would like to get an idea of what to expect its range to be. Anyone with any comments? Walter
