    Sliding windows in cabin

    Both port and starboard sliding windows on my 2520 leak in a driving rain or storm. There is an anodized piece of aluminum which has a rubber gasket/seal attached to it which rides along the fixed glass. Has anyone here ever had to replace this seal? I was able to finally track down the seal...

    Bilge drainage

    When I took delivery of my 2015 2520 xld I noticed in first few months I would never get any water in the stern bilge area. The bilge in the cabin floor always had water in it. The dealer sent their mechanic next spring and sent a camera down all of the runways. He also found a bunch of debris...

    Sliding window gaskets

    I was wondering if anyone has ever had to replace the gaskets/seals on their sliding port and starboard windows. The gasket in question fits on the edge of the sliding glass and has a piece of rubber which sits against the stationary glass. Both windows on mine the rubber has worn on the top and...

    First impressions of my repower with Suzuki

    I recently repowered my 2015 2520XLD with a Suzuki DF 300APXX (30"). It replaced my Yamaha F300UCA. This engine pushes my boat better than the Yami ever did. I still don't have the ideal prop as the dealer first put on a 3x16x18.5 watergrip prop but it only made 5200. He wanted to then use a...

    Zuk 300 prop?

    I went ahead and ordered a new 300 Suzuki since new engines from Yamaha are non exsistent. For those of you that repowered with Suzuki, what size prop should I use with my 2520 XLD? Also, those of you that have the SMG4 gauge , is it a good idea to get 2 to keep track of things or would that be...

    Repower 2015 2520 XLD

    Well sad to say my F300 UCA blew up 2 days ago. I had already ordered a new one but Yamaha is so screwed up now no one knows anything. Engine was supposed to be here Sept 15th.Searched all over the country and seems 6-8 month and possibly a year for a new engine to arrive. I had 2175 hours on...

    Replacing wiper arms?

    Seems like the little bump on both wiper arms are worn down and now my wiper blades have fallen off the last couple of trips. How do you get the arms off? I see there is a nut on the threaded sleeve but not sure how to attempt it. Thanks for any help

    Atlantic City Boat Show

    I went down there yesterday on my annual boat show visit to renew my Boat US and buy some jerky. Show has got better last couple of years. They even had a Viking there for a mere 1.3 million. Kicking some tires around just killing time I would have to say the best buy that I saw was Parker 2501...

    Burning oil 2015 F300 UCA

    My engine has been running perfectly, however back in August when I did my oil changes I noticed I was a little over 2 quarts low. I thought maybe I didn't put the correct amount in on the previous change. When my mechanic came yesterday to winterize me we found that I was again 2 quarts low ( I...

    Jigging Bluefins

    Here is a video from a couple weeks back. Some people might pick up a few pointers in it, like when to gaff a fish, how to thumb the spool when trying to finish off a larger tuna.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed15WKG ...

    Replacing Pedestals

    I am thinking of buying a pair of pro pedestals. Are the pedestals installed with a lag screw or is it bolted though with a nut?

    Correct Craft Aquires Parker

    I just saw a video release of Linwood on Facebook stating that Correct Craft has acquired Parker and he will remain as head of company. Not sure what this will all mean down the road :shock:

    James Hebert@Parker

    I would like to give a tip of the cap to James Hebert @ Parker. I sent a technical question through the site about the Parker Logo on my 2015 which had started to delaminate. My problem was forwarded to him. Seems the logo that was used in 2015 was only used one year from that particular vendor...

    White painted/powdercoated screws

    I have a 2015 2520 XLD. All the trim, door frames etc Parker used white/powder coated screws and machine bolts. I think this was a bad choice vs plain stainless. After second season I replaced all of the deck screws holding the trim around bait well etc as most kept bleeding thru. Replaced with...

    LED 30" Anchor Light Replacement

    Looking to replace the anchor light that came with my 2015 2520. Searched all over but can't find anything over 24" ? Anyone have a useful link? The ones I saw online are only 12-13" high but not tall enough with radar dome.

    Forward Bilge Pump in 2520

    Another little quirk with my 2520 xld. Seems my forward bilge pump will not go on automatically. The only time it will engage is when I turn on the batteries. It does have a float switch, been like this since new but really getting on my nerves as I just hand pumped 3 5 gallon buckets out over...
