Where do you guys get your asian crabs?

Update on the F250/2005(first year built) My broker( Boats Inc. in Niantic) told me of only one LP fuel pump replaced. Called Yamaha this Monday to find if my second LP fuel pump would be covered under warranty. No, I was told. Seems that same pump at the same dealer was changed six times, once...

No, I haven't, but that was my thought on the way home. Pump is shorted, needs replacing, was going to do that, short money, after warrantied pump replaced for the third time Tuesday. Thank-you! Reel Job

Bought a 2005 2520xl with a F250 yamaha, put on 275 hrs. without any trouble until this late August. The fuel pump and 5 AMP fuse were replaced prior to my purchase. I went away for a week or two, then the fuse ( and pump) failed and were replaced under warranty. Low pressure pump $500.00 I then...

Call Jamestown dist. Look on their web site Blue Sea Systems There site is excellent, get Blue Sea catalog on web. Excellent electrical supplies, and details on JTD's site. I've recently installed some, and they match well.

Interesting, will make measurements and check Defender this week. Thanks!!

Has anyone installed some sort of ventilation in the pilothouse to prevent corrosion from the window frames and aluminum chair hardware? Saw one boat with vent cut in door, thinking about the same thing. Finishing my rigging this week with my new 2520XL, pics to follow shortly. Did install a...

I was insured with Boat US for the past 7 years with a Mako 224 1984, for about 550 per year. They wanted about 800 to insure my 2005 2520xl-f250. Check out Aero-Marine Insurance in Quincy, Mass. Premium is 485 !! Once someone tells me how to post pics, I'll start with my present completed...

Hey Jethro, sounds like you know what you're talking about,yamaha mechanic? I spoke with the Flo-scan company, and the rep. talked me out of the purchase. $269 I think. So I ordered a yamaha fuel management gauge for $620. He did tell me that the totalizer would still work, however not with the...

That's an option I wanted and got on my 2005 2520XL. That's ,of course a factory install, $1.5K option. I'll be fishing most of the time with my lady friend, and it's an absolute must. Not going to deal with removing the contents of a portipotti, if I can help it. It's a nice steup with...

Am purchasing my 2520xl with a 2005 F250 Yamaha this Mon. or Tues. after sea trail.Reading an aweful lot of posts regarding fuel pump issues with this year/hp engine.The fuel pump was replaced last season, and one injector last week. 550hrs on motor.Factory warrantied for one season left.I...

I to plan on fishing 5 traps in R.I. with my new boat, and am also concerned about the same exact thing. Was always thinking about having a small aluminum simple platform made to fit on the gunnel, perhaps removeable. Also thinking starboard. Lets kick it around. It's a real mess, especially...

Hey Daddy Mackarel. I fish out of Pt.Judith, R.I. The boat is coming from Conn., the week after next when they can get it in the water do to the weather. Will post pics next month. Are you on the west coast? I'm bitting on the bullet waiting to close and start rigging for fishing!! :D

I'm inclined to agree with you jethro. It will give you a more accurate reading in the normal operating speed. I know for a fact that the totalizer still works when guage is at full scale deflection, since I often times operate my Mako with my 200 hp carb., close or at wot, and my gallons to...

Starting today to build a cabinet 17"x13 5/8"x 14" deep out of hardwood 1/2" plywood. Then making four drawers 2 3/4" high out of starboard 3/8 or 1/2" to store tackle. Will support that with legs inside. Will post when completed. Don't even own boat yet. Will close in two weeks. Good winter...

Hey Jim- I've got the exact same license, which expires next month, got to get on that, would not want to test out again after five years. Hows that motor treated you, and was is your burn at cruise? Wanted the second station and trailer, which I found, but with the F225, so I decided the...
