    Yam 250hp, keeps blowing LOW pressure fuel pumps ...

    I replaced two one year. The first was warrantied, the second I paid for. After speaking with Yamaha, they paid for seven or so previously under warranty since the F250/2005 was new. I flushed/cleaned the tank, and had the "F' filter changed. ( small in-line filter) THEN I NEVER ran the engine...

    Yamaha F250/2005/ block failure/ 1195 hrs. ? why?

    Guys- My local Yamaha dealer refused to "sign off" on my new 2012 F250 with my existing "after market" 4 blade Mercury prop, and sold me a 3 blade SS yamaha prop, without even asking me. 10-15 % off it was little less than $600. Basically the same diameter and pitch. ( one inch bigger...

    Yamaha F250/2005/ block failure/ 1195 hrs. ? why?

    Parker/ Yamaha skippers- 2005 Yamaha F250 4 stroke with 1195 hrs. VST filters changed, oil and filter changed every 50-100 hrs. Always run about 4500-5000 RPM at 21-22 nkts, most economical speed, 2 mpg/13-14 gph. Parker 2520xl 2005. Taken care off, flushed every trip. But never changed timing...

    2520 xl question

    Hey Other Line- What are you burning an hr at your crusing speed? I'm starting my weekend fishing tomorrow, seems like I'll be more efficient ( quick test ride last w-e), since I finally changed my filter in the VST tank over the winter. Was doing about 21 knts at 13-14 GPH, but my vessel is...

    Fuel additives

    Ditto on the Ringfree, and Stabil Marine ( blue). Became a believer the hard($$) way.

    2520 xl question

    Fuel capacity on the 2520xl is 175 gallons. Don't be concerned with speed at WOT, it's irrelevent, doesn't make sense to operate in that fashion. Do concern yourself with operating perimeters at cruising speed. Consider a fuel management guage, be it Yamaha's $$, or after market.

    Gas filter replacement on 225F

    Change that one each season. Change large blue water/separater one every 100 hrs. The "F" filter was changed by Yamaha dealer last year, I will change that every other season. I changed the filter in the VST tank this winter. I'm quessing it was never changed, and needed it. I'll change that...

    Fuel flow meters

    Went round and round with that same question last spring when I was outfitting my 2520xl w F250/2005. Having installed many "flowscan" models, for about $300,that was my first choice. However after speaking with flowscan and researching, flowscan doesn't recommend that unit with the F250/F225...

    Boston Boat Show

    Hey Smittles- I bought a 2520xl last year with a galley and marine head. That's the only way to go. A cook counter, sink, frig. below. Doubles as a tackle station, It's one of the best options you can find, on the used market, and the marine head. I don't care what the other Parker owners say...

    2520XL Nervous Buyer

    My two cents- Got my 2005 2520xl w/250 Yamaha last March from Boats Inc. Own a 224 Mako, and 29' Blackfin Combi, at that time. My budget was 50K MAX. I put 400 hrs. on my boats per year. We're pushing $4 / gal at the moment. I could't afford the DV with twins on my budget. It's dry and as...

    Water in my gas - Phase Separation - Not a fun project

    A few weeks ago I removed/pumped 60 gals out of my tank through the inch and a half sender hole with a large hand pump made for a 55 gal drum. It worked well, then pumped the remainder out with a small hand pump, the kind used for oil changes. Flushed tank with clean fuel and tank cleaner, then...
