    Filter on Rear of Engine

    Does anyone recognize these components on the rear of my 2005 Yamaha F225 shown in the photos? And how often they need serviced? I don't see them mentioned or shown in my owner's manual. One of them looks like an "F" fuel filter that is part of the VST system.

    Parts Wanted Overhead Electronics Box Plexiglass Cover

    I'm looking for a used front cover for my overhead electronics box. At some point the previous owner replaced it with a flimsy piece of white starboard like material. I think the original was 3/8" black plexiglass. The outside dimensions are 26-3/4" X 8". I looked on Amazon for some stock to...

    How to Replace a Seastar 3/8" Tube Nut

    Hello ... I'm looking for some advice on replacing the tube nut on the 3/8" line at my helm pump. I suspect it is the source of a leak, so I bought a spare and was planning on slipping the old one off and a new one on. Well, I can't budge the old one so I figured I would cut it off since there...

    Hydraulic Steering Leak

    It appears I have a fluid leak on the backside of my helm unit where the hoses hoses thread on. I noticed a minor amount of fluid running down the helm this summer. Somewhat concerned I tilted back the helm station and found a fair amount of fluid had leaked all over the wiring etc. around the...

    Seat Bubble Marks

    Does anyone know what may have been mounted to the floor of my 2510 in this picture? I moved the seat bubble and found these four old marks on the deck. They are about 4 inches in diameter and each one has 3 screw holes. I'm just curious.

    2005 2510 Fuel Fill Line

    I'm replacing my fuel fill and vent lines on my 2510 this off-season and am doing some research on our forum. I notice a strong fuel odor every time I refuel that dissipates in a day or two; I'm pretty sure I have a line problem. I've seen a few articles on doing this job on the center...

    Proper Trim Tab Bolts and Anodes

    The previous owner of this boat used some pretty long bolts to attach the anodes. It doesn't look right to me. Any advice on what should have been used? Also, the previous owner was in saltwater whereas I'm in freshwater, do I even really need anodes on my tabs? I don't recall seeing them on...

    Livewell Seat Cushion Velcro Strips

    The 15 year old velcro strips that hold the seat cushions in place atop my livewells are no longer working well. Any ideas on how to remedy? Has anyone tried replacing them with snaps?

    2005 2510 Anchor Light Location

    I need some help relocating my anchor light. Currently it is mounted to a pipe coming off of the radar bracket. I am removing the radar assembly and need to remount the anchor light somewhere. Does anyone have a photo of where Parker mounts the anchor on the hardtop when it doesn't have a...

    For sale is a 2005 radar off of the used Parker 2510 I just bought. I'll never use it in my area. It is in good working order. Included is everything in the pictures except the anchor light. Price is negotiable and I am located in Cleveland, OH .

    2005 Parker 2510 Transom Fish Box

    I just switched from a year 2000 Parker 2300 to a 2005 Parker 2510, both with full transoms fish lockers. The transom locker on the 2300 was about 3X the size of the 2510's. Anyone know of a way to remove it and make it bigger (i.e -- deeper)?

    Permatrim for 2300 Center Console

    Hi Guys -- I've read all of the posts on how a Permatrim will help reduce "squatting" and am ready to tackle this project this off season. My Christmas money is burning a hole in my pocket. Could I get some advice on which model to order? I went to the Sims website and there are about 10 to...

    Propeller Hub Problem

    I pulled my prop for the season to do some maintenance and noticed it looks like something is amiss on the outward end of the prop on the OD of the inner hub (see picture). I'm not sure if chunks of rubber deteriorated and fell out or if I'm looking at old hardened grease that I should just...

    FS: 2000 2300CC with a 2003 Yamaha 225 Freshwater - $27,000

    I'm looking to upsize and have a year 2000 Parker Model 2300 CC center console for sale. The boat is powered by a year 2003 4-stroke Yamaha 225 horsepower engine. I am the second owner and am a maintenance fanatic; it is very clean and very well maintained. Every single gallon of fuel run...

    2003 Yamaha F225

    Just curious, about how many hours do you think I can put on this engine before it would be time to re-power it. Its got 800 right now, was used in saltwater for 2 seasons then freshwater ever since? I suppose it comes down to when it starts losing compression. Just looking for a rough...

    2300 CC Fuel Gauge

    I'm having trouble getting an accurate reading on my fuel gauge. It is very slow to drop and won't drop below about 3/4 tank or 5/8 of a tank. I don't have an FMS so its very difficult to tell how much fuel I've used or have left in the tank. Its a year 2000 hull with 2003 Yamaha gauges. Any...

    2300 CC Repower

    I have a year 2000 2300 CC with a bracket and a single Yamaha 225 on it. I like the peace of mind of twin engines and it seems slightly underpowered in a following sea. It looks like the project would involve removing the existing bracket and installing a new bracket suitable for twin engines...

    2003 Yamaha F225 Spark Plug Insulator Nose Dark

    Just changed plugs for the season and noticed the plug from the top cylinder, port side had a noticeably darker insulating nose than the other five (see picture). 125 hours on them. Any thoughts on what may be the cause? Is this a common issue with this engine?
