    2012 Yamaha F250XCA question

    I have a 4.2L 300 and have the same issue when running it on muffs. It seems to be normal situation with the 4.2 platform. Search on the hulltruth and you will see it is a common question.

    cracks at the motor mounts

    Might want to inspect your brass tubes while you are at it. They do fail over time from corrosion and could leak into the core. Here are mine after 18 years...

    2110 tank replacement

    Unless you are planning to eliminate the foam and now have a way for the water to exit the tank compartment, I would not suggest that. Plus, are you getting the tank epoxy coated? If you are, you should be fine leaving ell enough alone.

    Adding swim platform

    Here's what the factory installs/installed although there are likely cheaper options available. For your year, the color was fish white. https://www.boatoutfitters.com/outboard-swim-platform-with-2-step-ladder

    Holding Tank Replacement

    Beautiful job. That's a big improvement over the factory install.

    2002 2520 MVSC Refresh

    It took almost a full day to get it out from what they said. Just like you described with your Whaler -typical challenge of removing all the foam from along the sides (it's a pretty tight fit) and then they popped it using a forklift and straps to release it from the foam on the bottom...

    2002 2520 MVSC Refresh

    Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to reach out - just PM me and I'll pass along my cell. Like I said, the original tank was not too bad and had some years left but you just don't know.

    2002 2520xl fuel tank replacement

    I'm also in the process of replacing a tank for a 2002 2520. I am paying about $12/gal for the new tank (also 3/16", epoxy coated) and they (Patriot Marine Fabricating) will turn around quickly for the installer. They are located in southern NJ so it may be a showstopper for you with freight...

    Broken fuel vent

    I just looked at a few pics of a 2002 2320 and I see what you mean. I would think there might be access from inside the cabin behind the passenger seat to the fuel fill hose and vent host for replacement rather than having to cut an access hole near the step. It also looks like the top of your...

    Broken fuel vent

    A little pricey but this is a nice SS flush version. I believe there's a discount if you mention thehulltruth... https://gemlux.com/collections/boat-vents/products/908 Diameter is a litter wider on the flush model than stock. I had to enlarge the hole when I changed mine so that's in your...

    Broken fuel vent

    If you just want to replace the stock unit, it was made by Perko. Never bought from this place but they show it in stock: https://nationalsupplydirect.com/perko-tank-vent-w-swivel-elbow-44-black.html https://perko.com/catalog/tlv/fuel_system_components/

    2002 2520 MVSC Refresh

    Next project is a (proactive) fuel tank replacement given age of the boat with work being done by Young's Fiberglass in southern NJ. Deck cut and tank removed and awaiting for new tank to be fabricated (3/16", extra tabs, and epoxy coated). There was some water in the compartment as you can...

    1999 2520 MVSC repower

    I have the same boat just a few years newer (with 30" notch). Repowered to a Yammie F300 from 225 OX66 and did not have an issue with weight affecting the transom or even changing the water line height of the bottom paint. There's quite a few on here that have done the same with no reported...

    Replacing wiper arms?

    Slide an open end wrench over the shaft and behind the wiper arm where it attaches. Use a second wrench to loosen the wiper motor nut which will apply pressure to the other wrench ultimately pushing the arm off. Ive done this a few times and it works well.

    Converting windows to DSG

    Not sure but I would not take a chance considering the price of these windows. Perhaps the factory could answer if they changed the cut out size when they switched over - not sure if the radius sizes are an exact match either. I'm in the NE plus my electronics are mounted on the port side -...
