    Install Kicker motor 2320SL Armstrong bracket

    I’m confused I thought you couldn’t get an XL shaft with the zuk? What bracket did you buy? If you bought the Cecil marine one it should have came with a backing plate like pictured below. That bracket is only rated for a 15hp motor though

    Thank you for posting real life comparisons. I’ve tried explaining it but hopefully your experience will help those trying to decide on a kicker

    Which Permatrim for a new F250?

    Agreed. Loved the performance but it cracked my AV plate and it’s been welded 3 different times since. Once that cast aluminum is cracked the leading edge of the weld to fix it will be weaker

    Armstrong Deck Plates

    Literally heard the exact opposite when I was researching and asking around. Even boat outfitters website states the screw down version are dryer and allow less water intrusion than the pry up deck plates. For me personally I couldn’t find a replacement O’ring for my pry up plates. The ones from...

    Armstrong Deck Plates

    The O’ring pry up deck plates are doomed to fail over time. I wasn’t willing to allow anymore water intrusion into my fuel tank compartment after mine failed. They are the notorious culprit for fuel tank corrosion

    Armstrong Deck Plates

    The Armstrong deck plates are good but they do stick up a bit more than other screw down plates. I have one on my bracket which I assume was factory installed and it has kept the inside of the bracket bone dry. I replaced the pry up deck plates with Tempress screw down plates and they have been...

    Install Kicker motor 2320SL Armstrong bracket

    Wouldn’t even be a second thought for me. Yes I like efi but the carbureted 9.9 is extremely dependable. I had one on my North River and when I bought my Parker I bought a new 2022 yami 9.9 for it. I knew there were other options with efi for less money. Not all 9.9’s that claim to be high...

    Install Kicker motor 2320SL Armstrong bracket

    I think your expectations for a 20 hp vs a true high thrust 9.9 like the Yamaha are off. The difference in displacement speeds will be minimal. That being said Suzuki’s are good motors and I was shocked by the weight of their 20. To answer your question though you need the XL shaft or 25”

    Sea star steering locked out

    Thanks for the response. I was thinking that as well but what I think might of happened is they didn’t properly cycle the auto pilot when they bled the system. The way I understand it the auto pilot needs to be cycled to properly bleed the lines from the pump to the helm. Could be wrong. As to...

    Sea star steering locked out

    Launched for the crab opener in Northern California. Complete madness at the ramp as usual on opening day. Tight channel so I start backing down to where it dog legs and I can turn around. I notice my boat isn’t responding to my steering input. Next thing I know my steering is locked to port. I...

    Looking for something similar to mount on the inside of the cabin door. Did you make these or buy them?

    Scupper question

    Check. This one sits just above and maybe the lower 1/3 is submerged when everyone is on the back

    Scupper question

    Trying to find the black flapper for this scupper. I believe it’s the drain to my bait tank. Anyone have an opinion on which replacement to buy? Some say the Thru Hull brand won’t warp because they are plastic vs rubber. Thoughts?

    Boat For Sale 2005 Parker 2520XL for sale

    It specifies it’s a “deep V” so I’m guessing the XL was oversight and they meant XLD?

    Show me your splash plates

    Are you talking about those homemade starboard jobs people use to close off a notched transom or a something for your kicker?
