We’ve had some power outages over the years and I’ve run my home on a gasoline generator for a few days at a time. I’ve always run the generator outdoors, at least 20’ from the house on the garage side of the house with the garage door closed. Again the generator is OUTSIDE of the garage not in...

I’m a 200+ hour a year owner of a 2520SL. I have owned the boat since 2005 that originally came with a Yamaha F225. I repowered with a 2019 Suzuki DF300APXX. I fish offshore and inshore. My offshore trips are sometimes 60+ miles off of the New England Coast. My boat is adequately powered for...

I make it through the season with the trim tab zincs on my Parker 2520SL but they do quite a bit of disintegrating April-November and always need replacing in the Spring.

Very similar story, my boat is a 2005. I put 1800+ hours on a Yamaha F225. The F225 dropped a valve and blew up in the Fall of 2018. I hung a white, 2019 Suzuki DF300APXX for the start of my 2019 Season. Currently have 800+ hours on the Suzuki. So far the DF300APXX has been a significant...

That’s a fantastic price…..

Sealed in with 4200 or 5200. I swapped out the seacock for my raw water wash down pump about 10 years ago and recall that there were no bolts or screws holding the sea **** in. I used 4200 to seal the new seacock in and for the last ten years I make sure to open and close the seacock at least 1...

Good to hear 👍

You’re gonna be good with RPMs with that wheel but when you test the boat, make sure you make some turns and if you can get in a position to run in a downhill sea, do it. On my boat 2520SL = Mod-V with a notched transom, a propeller smaller then 16” in diameter was very prone to blowing out in...

3x16x17 is what you’re gonna wanna run if you stay in the Suzuki Watergrip line.

I’m running the same propeller as you on my 2520MV. It works wonderful in terms of bite, almost never blows out. I carry more gear then most, my boat is probably on the heavy side and I’m on the low end of the max recommended rpm at wot range spinning that propeller. On my boat 18.5 pitch would...

I think that’s gonna be too much propeller.

(y) Agree, picture is grainy unless you tap/click on it.

That’s a Yellowfin.

I missed the “WA” after Westport and was thinking “MA” and scratching my head with the “anchovies“ but it all makes sense now (y)(y) This was this guy 1st Tuna too from a trip 2 weeks ago.

Did you get em??

I fixed the cowling on a Yamaha F225 with bondo, a lot of elbow grease sanding and a paint kit by Yamaha Outboard All Models - ColorRite. I was happy with the results.

Store as much of your gear as far forward as possible. Bait tanks, passengers sitting in bean bags near the stern, coolers stored aft will all have a detrimental effect on the ride. In general, try to minimize weight in the stern as much as possible. Make use of trim tabs and engine trim...

What a beauty……

When rinsing boat after use, I lift the wipers up off the glass and spray water into the hinge of the wiper arm and then move the wiper arm joint back and forth a few times and then give it another squirt with the hose. This helps knock off dried salt/corrosion. As previous posters have mention...

This forum is typically very friendly and it appears that I’ve hit a sensitive spot with the permatrims. I don’t want to engage in an on going pi$$ing contest and this will be my last post in this thread. My only hope is that the discussion might encourage at least one guy to fine tune their use...
