I had a 2005 Z20 for a number of years. I really liked the boat. It handled great and fished great. If you find a clean one, I think you would enjoy. I bought a Z520 after I had the Z20. Boats are...

I had a 2005 Z20 for a number of years. I really liked the boat. It handled great and fished great. If you find a clean one, I think you would enjoy. I bought a Z520 after I had the Z20. Boats are...
Ok I had a Z20 that had the panel like you described on your Z520. I have a 2015 Z520C and it has the panels that do tend to fade if you don’t treat them. The 303 spray works fine to keep them...
I replaced my original trolling motor on my 2005 Z20 and I didn’t have any access issues getting to the nuts. I replaced a Min Kota Maxxum with a Fortrex. Wasn’t that bad of a job. Actually had to...
Here is a link to the UFP replacement pads for the DB35 brakes on my Ranger trailer. Mine had also delaminated.

I have done it both ways. Early on I pumped some out and also sent oil off to be tested and it still tested fine. Later on I have been just changing it out and used conventional oil. I did the short...
Yamaha manual says inspect and replace as required at 100 hours. My dealer basically said that as long as it was running fine then no need to replace. Since I was used to the Mercury Pro XS 2 stroke...
This is exactly what I do with mine. Seems to be pretty close to the right oil level.
Thank You!
Just bought a Lowrance HST-WSBL Transducer 106-72 that is marked 200KHZ and I looked through all of the packages on the shelf and they were marked 200kHZ. I had thought all these transducers were...
I have 4 of them in my boat (AGM group 31). I have almost two years on them and they have worked well.
Same one that used and it works great. Had the dealer do the install.
Just got done with mine and it took 6.5 quarts with the filter and was half way between the marks. My motor has been an oil maker and just stopped with this last oil change cycle. But I still went...
The 10 % is much higher than I have seen in my oil sampling and my engine has made oil up through 60 hours. My first 3 samples were 4.5%, 3.5%. and 3.0% gas in oil. The oil lab is saying anything...
If you are using a Yamaha prop, then Yamaha specs 40 ft-lbs. however, I went slightly higher on my SHO and tightened not loosened to line up the cotter pin. After the initial tightening, I checked...
Mine runs higher temps on a long wide open throttle run. I have run temperatures higher than you have indicated many times. I have my engine temperature displayed on my Lowrance unit. Once on a very...
Rear of engine center near the bottom, you will see the rubber hose for the water pressure gauge. As indicated by poster #3, the Yamaha electronic water pressure sending transducer would go in this...
I also slung a blade on my T-1 prop. My performance with the new T-2 prop is very similar to my old T-1. My motor is a 2015 Yamaha SHO 250 on a 2015 Ranger Z520C.
I think he is saying 3 inches below the bottom of the pad to the center line of the prop shaft. Prop shaft will be below the pad by 3 inches. So use the tongue jack to level your pad over a level...
I ran mine this past Friday. Two anglers almost full on fuel 71 mph at approximately 5800 RPMs. I don’t have power poles but the passenger should almost make up the difference. I am running a manual...
I had mine mounted on my Z20 under the center compartment lid. Not as easy to get to as the mounting on my Z520.
Changed my SHO lower unit grease this afternoon and the grease came out blue just like Mercury High Performance grease. I have had two lower unit grease changes by my Yamaha Dealer. One under 20...
I have seen 147 F on a very long WOT run. Otherwise the 145 F is what I see on a long WOT run.
My dealer says to run it lower and trim high. I have a manual jack plate and I raised my engine up so it is easier for me to drive. I am still running the trim high. My speeds seemed to improve as I...
I have seen 147 F on a long WOT run.
Yes use conventional Yamaha oil for the break in period until the engine stops making oil. You can send oil sample of to oil lab after each oil change to look at oil dilution. I changed mine each...
