The O2 sensor is very simple to do. I would loosen the sensor from the mounting block before you remove the block from the engine. I cut a slot in the box end wrench that fits the sensor nut. The slot will allow you to get the sensor wires inside the box end. The plug ends would not fit through...

My 250 OX66 had a similar problem a couple of years ago and it turned out to be the O2 sensor. In my case, cleaning the sensor did not help but a new one cured the problem. If I tried to run in the higher rpm range it would do the surge thing like you are describing, if I backed off the throttle...

I listened to it and I could feel the hook set right in the corner of my mouth. :lol:

My boat has the notch transom and it's rated for 500 horses ('02). I'm hesitant to add that much weight to the transom but twins are even heavier so I know the boat will handle it. I know that the F250 is a safe bet but I don't want to settle for a 250 and then still wish I had more power. The...

Thanks for the replies fellas. Today is the day I need to make the decision. I have to be back on the water soon and will have to get the new motor broken in before my next trip. I am very tempted to go with the F350. I have always wished for more power when I have to run in big following seas...

Thinking about repowering my 2520 DVSC with an F250 and I wanted to ask the people who are running this combination if you are happy with it. I have done the search and read all I can find but would like updated opinions and your experiences so far. My boat is heavily rigged and I fish up to 6...

GrouperJim, here is a link that covers what you are talking about. I tried it and was not happy with the results. http://www.classicparker.com/phpBB2/vie ... highlight= I still have the set of 12 X 16 Lenco tabs out in the shop if you are dead set on trying it.

Here's another option if you don't want to drill holes through the roof. I recently bought a new chartplotter to replace my old one which had no more room for new #'s. I upgraded to a Standard Horizon CP300 and flush mounted it in the dash. Once I got the dash unit mounted and wired up I...

Below is a copy of the info from the old site. I fixed my opening windshields this way and they are still leak free 4 years later. Have not had to change the latex tubing yet. This is how I fixed the leaking windshields on my 2002 2520. I hope someone can use it. There is a groove in the face...

I trailer my 2520 and I load and unload by myself quite often. I have the heavy duty guide posts that I found at a trailer place near home. I would hate to not have them. I launch from a pretty steep ramp and the guides have to be long enough so they won't come up under the rub rail when you...

I installed the docking lights you are looking at and had some problems with them initially but I think I have the problems resolved now. The first problem I had was during a trip out in some rough water I was running faster than I should have been in a following sea and I stuffed the bow hard...

Warthog, winterizing is when you throw a sweatshirt in the cabin in case it gets a little cool on the run out. Don't you know nuthin?

I don't log my hours, just my fishing info. I do have an hour meter though and I have 830 hours in 3.5 years on this boat, so I'm averaging 240 hours per year. I don't do any trolling so my running is 95% at a cruise speed that weather will allow, so if I averade maybe 20 nmph then that would be...

I've never seen the inside of my fuel tank so I don't know how the baffles are arranged (if there are any) but I think the fuel sloshing from the stern toward the bow is pushing some air/vapor out the vent and when the fuel sloshes back toward the stern it causes air to be sucked back into the...

My original black plastic vent and the Orca flush mount vent were both installed with the hose barb pointing up toward the gunwale and there was a large bend in the vent hose that was up against the underside of the gunwale. I still got water in through the vent even though I did not think that...

Thanks RTC. A friend of mine here in FL lost an engine due to water in the fuel also. I came close more than once before I made the water trap. The separator in the bilge and the one on the engine were both full of water after a couple of rough trips. You will be amazed how much water comes in...

The rub rail is really easy to remove and replace. If you do it just don't overtighten the screws when you put it back because it will distort the shape of the rub rail. I used a cordless screw gun and set the clutch down low. Your way may work also but it might be tough to hold that piece of...

I had the same problem with my 2520. The first thing I did was seal the joint from the inside. This stopped some of the leakage but not all of it. Some of the water was coming in from the screws that hold the rub rail on and some of the bolts in the hull to deck joint so I took the rub rail off...

John, I found some blades at Discount Auto that were the same shape but they were too long. I cut them to the right length and they work and fit just like the originals.
