Looks great wart. I'm going to be replacing the deck on my 2530 95' this winter. Looking at the fuel tanks and adding two slam hatches in.

I just stir in the nonskid...Using the Restolum brand.
It calls for 4oz [which is the whole can] per Qt......Thats to much. I go 2oz. per Qt.
On the tanks. If your cutting the deck....Take the tanks All the way out for inspection. I have pix's of one that had no smell. Customer did not want to take the tank out....I told him.....WERE taking the tank out!
Here is what we found. If your there...Take it out. Think what would have happened a year or less from now. It's a PITA job...You ONLY want to do it Once!

More detail.
The Bright shiny wheel looked good .... But not in the bright sun where it would flash your eyes.
A lot of Big sport fishers have gone to making everything in the top of the tower a mate finish Black.
Took the wheel off and Bead Blasted it.

The new Fusion amp mounted and wired. Very happy
It is mounted on the outboard side of the box that the captians chair at the helm is mounted on. Out of the way....Plenty of air to cool it.

Another project.
The original Lower Helm has a freewheel spot in it. IE: Sometimes when you turn the wheel to the left [as much as 1 1/2 to almost 2 revolutions there is no response. Then it will catch and it can be dangerous.
In all this upgrading I'm changing out all the old Seastar stuff to the new High Performance Uflex.
This is known as the UP25FM-SVS [Uflex pump 25= 1.5cuin Front mount - Silver Series] Yes it has different numbers actually on the pump, but note the
1500 That is for 1500PSI and that makes it for high torque motors as apposed to the 1000PSI you normally see.
Uflex recommended to me to go with the 1.5 as apposed to the 1.7. Said it would add a 1/4turn lock to Lock, but would be easier to turn.
This is the Silver Series cylinder that I have.
The High performance stuff costs more, but being bothered by leaking cylinders and helms is something I don't like and willing to pay more for a higher quality product.

What an awesome thread! I can't find that silver steer uflex cylinder anywhere on the net. Was it discontinued?
Do you run the boat from the tower pretty often? I have a tower but have yet to put controls up there. Right now it's just used for spotting while trolling.

Mine is the UC128/2-SVS cylinder
You have to do a little digging in their website to find it. [which sucks.]
http://uflexusa.ultraflexgroup.com/easy ... hedaid=922
Yes we run it from up top a Lot.
When your spot fishing like we do Cobia..... A Tower without controls is worthless. A person at a lower helm can NOT see what the person in the tower see's and therfore it's a LOT of hollering and miscommunication.... It also results in spooked fish and poor boat positioning to make the bait presentation.
