I have an opportunity for a decent deal on a NIB RC6 windlass to put on my 1995 2520MV but want to make sure it will work. Is anyone currently using this unit? Results? Will the below deck components fit and still allow space for rode etc. (I do have pulpit and roller fwiw) I have read that this...

I am updating the power on my 95 2520MV with a low hour Verado 250. I had bought a used Optimax 225 a few years ago and was badly misinformed concerning the hours on the engine (not by the seller but the dealer who had serviced it previously). I'd had recurring intermittent problems with the...

Seem to recall that some of you guys like pictures, so here you go. New boat to the neighborhood this year. Owner claims 64mph WOT (did not mention fuel burn at that speed 8) Only issue I can see is that the blue hull is going to make it hard to slide in my 2520 and hope they don't notice...

I've searched the board but have not found anything on this topic yet-wondered if anyone else had tried it yet. I have a 1995 2520 which I keep on a mooring. On a typical day I might go forward 1/2 dozen times or more between coming/going, anchoring and fishing. While the gunwale is not as tall...

I am more confused than normal and looking for help or suggestions. I recently upgraded to a used Optimax 225 on my 2520 MV.Added 24" Bennetts and put a 15x17 Mirage 3 blade per board suggestions.The max rpm are at the low end of the range @5000 and the motor may be a little low on the...

I am replacing a Yamaha Saltwater with a Mercury Optimax.The control box that came with the Mercury is frozen.I have been told that a lead/pull can be reversed in the Yamaha box and work fine with the Opti and there is no hacking/patching to the dash and no need to spend $325 for the new Merc...

The plastic housings on my spreader lights pretty much disintegrated recently.As the wiring seems ok and the rod holder has the mounting points tapped into already I would like to find new lights (LED?) to replace them.Found quite a few alternate light ideas for house mounting via search but not...

I am re-working the LoadRite roller trailer that came with my 95 2520MV.In installing the rear guides I would like to be close to proper with when I pull the boat in the fall.Everything I have seen indicates a beam of 9'6" for my model and year.Does this include the rubrails? If I set the posts...

Have been lurking here for a little while reading old items and bugging a few RI members with pm's.Have been a boater most of life and have enjoyed sail and power through the years.Most recently had a Sabre 28 sloop and a Northcoast 20CC which lead the powerboaters at the local marina to...
