    2002 2520 MVSC Refresh

    I am behind on updating projects over the last couple years. Here's a few updates starting with a repower to F300 Yamaha.

    1999 225hp Yamaha saltwater series

    I did the same project and used 35 amp breakers to protect the wires to match max output of the SWSII 225. I have since repowered to F300 and had to double the size of breakers - you are welcomed to my 35's. Sent you a PM.

    Toe Rail Material

    Arctic white starboard for the new "white" parkers (plus other colored gelcoats). Fish white starboard for the "off-white" almond colored Parkers. Unless the factory cuts their own in-house, I would check with the following two part suppliers for Parker: https://www.boatoutfitters.com/cut-to-s...

    Anyone have a 2820 with thru-hull Garmin transducer?

    Use this MDR transducer paint - the deliver method is water based vs a solvent which could possibly damage the transducer. Apply using a latex glove (the brush in the bottle is pretty much useless). Recommend about 5 coats to get you through a NE season...

    New 2320 cabin door

    I like the radius corners that match the window frames but that larger door window will take some getting used to. Is the new door also made from a poly material (e.g. King Starboard)?

    Door locks on Parkers

    You mentioned it was a plastic lock. The factory used to use a Perko door lockset like below. Can you attach a pic of what was installed? http://www.cecilmarineonline.com/parker ... -lock-set/

    Windows replacement

    My Wynne front opening starboard leaked badly and the frames were starting to corrode a bit. DSG are just a nicer quality IMHO. I chose plain anodized finish (like Parker now uses)...you do have to keep them clean and dry to avoid pitting - I also apply Rupp Alumaguard. Powder coating or...

    Windows replacement

    I replaced all of my original "black framed" Wynne windows with Diamond Sea Glaze. I would think the process would be the same regardless of manufacturer...I worked with a local fiberglass repair company on the project and it was two steps. 1st step: remove the old windows to trace out the...

    Ditto on Coastal Canvas! Michael Sasser is excellent.

    parker 2320: adding a 30 degree rod holder

    I have a 2520 and I would think the gunnel width is the same. Starting closest to the transom, the stock were two port/starboard facing directly aft (0 degrees) moving to the bow two at about a 45 degree angle. The additional pair of 30 degree factory rod holders we added closest to the cabin...

    Radar

    If space is not an issue, my installer recommended having it angled towards the stern on the Parker to match the rake of the front windows.

    2000 2520MV REPOWER 2017 YAM XBF250

    Good luck with the motor! With a modified vee hull, since more of the hull will not rise out of the water as you increase speed like a deep vee hull you are fighting a losing battle with drag resistance. I think that's pretty much top end for our 14 degree hulls +/- a few mph which is plenty...
