Hello everyone, just a post on the Lewmar/Horizon 500 windlass for anyone who is having trouble with theirs. My windlass came installed from the factory (or perhaps dealer?) on my 2007 Parker 2820. The boat sat on the trailer for a year while I was deployed. Although I had a friend run the...

Hey Bryan, Thanks for the post and thank you for your support. I do know it is a sea star system just not sure how big the unit is, that seems to be a consideration that Garmin asks about on their site. Not sure if there is a difference b/w a 25ft Parker and a 28ft? Same Yam F250 engines...

Hey everyone, Looking for advice on adding an autopilot to my 2820. Any suggestions? I'm currently deployed and am not sure which type of steering system I have? I think this would determine what is compatable? Any thoughts / suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Christian

Hey Pelagic, I just got a set of Grand Slam 250As and want to mount them on my hard top. How was your install? Was the hard top not too thick? Do you have a pilothouse? Thanks!

Thanks fellas...I can always count on this forum to answer the, sometimes obvious, solutions! Just to be clear...does the rub rail need to be partially removed or can the 5200 be applied under the rail? Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I've been noticing in rough seas (water coming over the bow) that water has been tricking down the sides of the v-berth carpeting? Seems like 4 or 5 lines that streak all the way down to the cushions on my 2007 2820 XLD. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!

Any update on this thread? I've been looking at getting a set of Taco GS250s to mount on the top of my pilothouse... Any experience with this or a similar setup? Not looking forward to drilling massive holes in the top of my pilothouse. Thanks

Hi Dan, Thanks for the advice on Tyndall, I appreciate that! I'll be headed there late Friday night / early Sat morning for a trip to the 3x5s this weekend. I have some maintenance to get done at Hart's Marine so I will probably be taking it with me when I'm done. I will be around the...

Hey MV, I might do that actually! Its a bear to tow this thing down every weekend from Fort Rucker. I was actually at the Tyndall Marina this past Saturday...terrible winds...and walked around the lot and noticed the 2310...didn't see the others though. The complements I've been getting on...

Thanks Megabyte....when I first pulled up to the boat I thought to myself...man...this might be too big...but it tows a lot easier than I imagined....and the space is well worth the lower fuel economy!!!

Hey Bryan, I do love the larger cabin but I really like the deck space the sport cabin offers...I can't decide which is best....?

Hey MV, I kept my old boat (25 ft Trophy WA) at Tyndall for a while then at the Navy NAS marina...the Parker is too big for rack and stack at the Navy base so now I trailer it to and from Fort Rucker...I think I may have seen your Parker out at Tyndall...is it a 25 or a 28??? I think I've seen...

I'm on a waiting list for the Navy Space-A ship to Honolulu which is free! Otherwise, I'm paying to have it shipped (about $9500.00 paid for by the gov't). I'm towing it from Panama City to San Diego!!! Well worth the trip to have it in Hawaii!

Well here she is! I can't believe I'm a Parker owner.... Woke up at 8am last Friday, worked until 1045pm (Central), drove to Panama City Beach to ready my old boat, left PCB at 4am on Sat morning for Jacksonville, sea trialed the Parker, towed it back to PC Beach...arrival at 7 pm ....well...

Thanks Megabyte...I appreciate the words...its a big purchase so anything that makes me feel more at ease is great news! I will post pics as soon as I pick it up (hopefully this weekend) I'm moving to Hawaii in June and am looking for a good dive / swim platform...I think I may have found it!

Hi everyone, I'm looking at purchasing a 2007 2820 XLD w/ twin Yamaha F250s... 490 hours...can anyone comment on this boat / engine combo? He was asking $89, I offered $65, and he accepted along with 3 axle trailer. Boats seems to be in great shape, engines still have 2 yrs warranty. Any advice...
