    Steering stops at center when turning wheel

    I could be the valves in the helm sticking. What happens if you shake the wheel side to side when you're in the dead spot? By that I mean turn the wheel back and forth.

    Antenna Mounting bracket support

    My 8' antenna has fender washers on the bottom side. I've never noticed any flex

    3d printed items for the boat?

    You guys could take "donations" for your time and materials.

    99 2520 Modified V sending unit

    All the senders are the same standard. All you have to do is measure the depth of the tank and select the sender you would like. My tank is 16.25" deep. I put in a 16" sender. When the bottom bar starts flashing it will get quiet very soon. My tank came with a 13" sender for a "reserve."...

    Sea trial in Socal?

    I’m on the East coast; but, you might get more results if you offer gas and lunch.

    Simrad 3 in 1 transducer mounting location

    1 and possibly 2 will cause problems for your prop. That leaves 3 and 4.

    Parker 2520 Mercury 300 seapro install

    I can't speak for Mercury's system; however, the Yamaha DEC system is like an autopilot. You never realize how much you wanted it until you have had it. I would go with the DTC.

    Damn. Sorry to hear.

    Thinking about adding autopilot

    It was mounted as per the instructions with 3' of hose between it and any other rigid connection, perfectly horizontal and the gain was moved all around. It would trip the system into "Heading Hold" especially when the A/P was turning to follow a course in "Auto Nav." I found it more dangerous...

    Thinking about adding autopilot

    I give a vote to leave the shadow drive in the box. It caused nothing but problems with my Garmin AP. It's also one less hose to buy.

    2018 Yamaha F200XCA Exhaust Corrosion

    Dropped her off yesterday morning. With the short week because of Thanksgiving they plan to tear her down and get the parts ordered this week.

    2018 Yamaha F200XCA Exhaust Corrosion

    They had nothing to offer. The only comment he gave was that they had no signs of ever overheating. I thought I have been doing everything right to keep these engines happy for a long time.

    2018 Yamaha F200XCA Exhaust Corrosion

    Well now it's time for the port engine. No hole in cowling yet; but, she sure sounds like the Starboard did just before the hole showed. She goes back to dealer Monday.

    My first never ending boat list!

    This is picture of the drawers and a tackle storage box I made from starboard. The drawers go about 2/3-3/4 the depth of the cabinet so you lose a little space and you also have to add a leg to support the back of the drawers. I later mounted my autopilot pump in the lost space on the deck in...

    Taking on a little water

    If it was your bait tank or other open water source it would most likely be a lot more water. Check the rub rail seam.

    FLIR on my 2520XLD

    It's pretty easy. The set up I purchased was for a Garmin MFD with the joy stick controller. The only Glitch is the FLIR uses power from the ethernet connections, which Garmin can't supply. The kit comes with two power adapters to give the needed power to the camera and controller. You also...

    FLIR on my 2520XLD

    Cost mostly. I bought the high resolution, fixed base, with the controller. MD625.
