    Which holes to remount 250HP on my 2008 Walk around 2510 XL - modified v

    Was wondering if anyone has any experience in raising your engine on either the 2510 or 2520. After repowering with a Honda 250 last Spring my mechanic is now suggesting that we try raising the motor a notch (or even two) to try to gain better fuel efficiency. (I get between 1.7 and 2.0 mpg...

    HAVE A 2510/LOOKING FOR ADVICE FOR PROP ON NEW HONDA BF250

    Just repowered my 2008 2510 with a Honda 250 hp. Am looking for any advice on which prop to use. Tried a couple different ones and so far a 4 blade 17 pitch gets me at 2.1 mpg with one person and half tank fuel. I'm looking for fuel efficiency not speed. Had a Yamaha 250 original and so far...

    foul odor around holding tank on my 2510

    Was wondering if anyone knows of a cure to the stinky odor which emanates from around the holding tank on my 2510. Its definitely not from inside the tank; and I changed all hoses. It seems to be coming from the foam cushioning the 12 gallon holding tank in place. I'd love to remove the...

    which rides better? 2320 or 2510 mv??

    I have a 16 degree 2510 and have been thinking of buying a 2320 thinking that the 2320, with its deeper vee, will pound a lot less and ride better. The 2510 I love except when it gets snotty out and the pounding in short seas kills my back. I fish in Long Island Sound and off eastern Long...

    Is it safe to lag screw in a tall seat pedestal?

    Looking for some advice; I have a 2510 WA, 2008. I removed both the helm seat and storage box it was screwed into to enable me to troll easier. I'd like to install a basic 30" pedestal (as the helm seat) in place of the storage box. Is it ok to use toggle bolts through the deck? Or is...

    Prop size question 2510xl with single 250 Yamaha??

    Was hoping someone would have advice as to the best prop size for my 2008 2510XL with 250 Yamaha 4 stroke. I must reach 4800 rpm for my basic cruise/plane. This is on a calm day with only myself on-board. (This gives me 1.6 gpm. Anything less than 4800 drops me to about 1.3 - 1.5 gpm) I max...

    Would like to know if anyone has ever removed the captain seat and the 30 gallon storage underneath. I am thinking about doing such and replacing with a straight pedestal and chair. The storage box gets in the way of trolling and I find my feet banging into it all the time. Its on my 2510xl...

    Does anyone have experience or recommendations how to route transom mount cable on my 2510xl: should I drill a hole above the engine bracket/swim platform and go "around" the platform to the transducer? Or, can I drill the hole just below the bracket/swim platform -- where it will only be a...
