    tackle storage ideas?

    Good question; I've been considering the same. Plano boxes stowed under the pedastal chairs is somewhat inconvenient. My 2510 came with a little galley. I really have had no use for it. I've been thinking to tear it out and do some remodeling. If I was capable and had the tools, a custom...

    My first picture

    Here's a picture that may help with some storage and organization issues while over-nighting. The aft sleeping quarters were very comfortable. The v-berth was used for storage and a dressing room area :wink: The large storage totes work well for me to keep some organization.

    First on the water ... Parkers

    It's no coincidence, the dealer up here owns the marina...Considering the shortage of dockage it wasn't too hard to decide to get 2510; top notch boat with a slip was a no brainer. Chop~Chop

    Bottom Paint Dilemma

    Unfortunate circumstance when the boat was new; hull was improperly prep'd, apparently mpld release wax wasn't completely removed. Light sand-blasting has removed most paint in those areas where initial paint and skip-sand never stuck. The other areas have a substantial amount of paint where...

    Trim Tab Upgrade

    Spoke with Lenco today, tech indicated no problem with 3" of offset. These tabs with 90' bends are especially stiff. Tabs without holes were out of the question; these things are manufactured on an automated assembly line. So, New tabs to run better in the chop is out of the question for this...

    transducer noise

    If the noise from xducer is getting into the radio through its power supply, a noise supressor sometimes cures problem. I think some are rated sort of like a frequency block for an interference range; the lower the freq. rating the better. If the am/fm unit is close proximity to a display unit...

    24 x 9 Tabs Installed

    Anthony, Why did you decide to use 24x9? My 2510 MV came with 12x12 and I was thinking to go with 18x12.

    Trim Tab Upgrade

    If you get the pics that would be great. ...A good solution for upgrade may be to get Lenco to ship tabs with no holes. I'm calling them tomorrow and I'll also get their idea on flex-factor due to offset of accuator. I would really like to get this done before I'm in. I think she will...

    Trim Tab Upgrade

    I've convinced myself the first little suprise on my 2510 was real after reading several posts Parker has under-tabed their 25xx. Today I took a quick look at what it would take for me to do the same Lenco upgrade. I'm not sure if I should go from 12x12 up to 12x24...Looks like I got loads of...

    Floation Question

    I've heard USCG has a rating sytem to define levels of floatability. I suspect Parker's many models will behave differntly. I'm not aware of how the foam is installed. But I think my 2510 MV probably has miniscule area between the deck and the hull so it may be less likely to stay afloat...

    Just Getting Ready

    Hello All, I am the recent proud owner of "Chop~Chop"; the 2510 WA MV is everything I had expected. There have been a few surprises, I may well should have expected. More on this in days to come. :wink: I originally hail from Cape Cod Bay where I was fortunate to learn and play on my Dad's...
