I go around the monument for everything, I don't use the marked channel as there is a couple of really bad low spots and on an outgoing tide it could be dangerous

It seems they came out with the Watergrip name in 2018 after changing up the hub due to spun props. Going forward after 2018 all their Watergrips have the hub that can be pressed in without a machine. Since my numbers are really good with the zuk prop will get same one as backup. The Mercury is...

Yes I felt it was high as well. I had my 20 hour service done last week and they changed my prop to a 3x16x17 Watergrip. This prop did well with my hull. 43-4400 I was doing 28 mph and burning 12.6 gph. I was able to turn 58-5900 wot so I think I am in a good zone now. I spoke to Ken and the...

The Suzuki's are 70 lbs heavier than F300. A 2820 with twin zuks will haul ***

I recently repowered my 2015 2520XLD with a Suzuki DF 300APXX (30"). It replaced my Yamaha F300UCA. This engine pushes my boat better than the Yami ever did. I still don't have the ideal prop as the dealer first put on a 3x16x18.5 watergrip prop but it only made 5200. He wanted to then use a...

By the time I haul out in Dec they are usually the size of a nickel if they are there at all

Not sure what size lower you need either a 25 or 30 BUT Seacoast Marine in New Hampshire had one left as far as I know. I drove up there on August 23 for my DF 300APXX and he had one left. He sold me the motor for 21k and there is no sales tax in NH, hope that helps

Definitely sealant, hopefully boat silicone instead of 5200. Mine came right off when I installed the pro pedestals last year

Well things went well today. Should have done this in the spring when I had the chance but oh well. As I figured they didn't have a 3x16x17 in the shop. The 15 1/2 x17 got me up to 6200 in a very choppy bay with 3/4 tank of fuel but as you said, it blows out on turns at higher speed. Hopefully...

I think they just didn't have any 3x16x17 and wanted to get me back. I will see how it goes but should be no problem switching out props at 20 hr service. I think I found an honest and reliable dealer, they did a nice neat job on the install.

They put on a 15.5x17 watergrip but was unable to test it due to 30+ knot winds. Fixed all the other kinks so hopefully will be back in action tomorrow morning. He said see what it tac's out at with this prop and if needed they will switch it out at 20 hour service. My Yamaha had came with a...

Well the 18.5 pitch was too much prop as it was only able to turn 5200. A bunch of other kinks need to be fixed as well. Not everyone is playing nicely on the NEMA network and some how they knocked out my trim tab switch. I can't wait till this ordeal is over and I can fish again. Not sure if...

Well they strapped the engine on yesterday, hopefully no surprises in the rigging tomorrow and I should be back in the water by Thursday. ( Just in time for Hurricane) They installed a 3x16x18.5 watergrip prop.

I got my 300 mounted yesterday and actually reading the manual now on my 2022 DF 300APXX. How did you hit 5900 rpm with less than 2 hours on engine when you're not supposed to run that hard till you finished the first 4 hours? The mounted a 3x16x18.5 on my 2520xld. Can't wait to start the break...

Someone who had their boat repowered at Seacoast Marine in New Hamshire noticed he had 2 white DF 300APXX's in stock and sent me a private message, I called up there and made the deal which was very fair and no sales tax in NH. Took me a little over 6 hours each way but today they will be...

This is pretty amazing,sorry it happened to you. You might have better luck now with parts as things are starting to loosen up. Last December my lower blew on my 300 and my only option at the time was to get it totally rebuilt. The mechanic had a tough time finding all the needed parts.

You can use cut bait such as sardines, butterfish etc but sometimes they are very picky esp if the pots have been hit often. Live bait such as peanut bunker or killies work well and usually get them going. Sometimes if you leave one hooked the rest of them get aggressive and feed. I usually use...

Well there was a turn of events with me. I blew the lower on my yami 3 weeks ago. The thought of no boat till next spring drove me nuts so went on a mission and found a dealer with 2 white DF300APXX in stock up in New Hampshire. I drove up there and bought one and finally tomorrow they are going...

Get a hold of PM Winter Cover, he will hook you up with a Fisher Cover. bought mine in 2016 and still looks brand new on my 2520.

I am getting repowered next week with a Zuk 300 , I went fishing with a friend last week and there was a 2520 with 350 Zuk on back in his lagoon. I am not sure if the extra weight of a 350 or torque will be good or bad.
