    Sliding window gaskets

    No, but I drilled a few small holes in the outer aluminum window frame that act as drains. Didn’t fix the leak but it gave the standing water that builds up in the outer track somewhere else to leak other then into the cabin. Machiavellian solution for sure but it eliminated at least 90% of...

    Cracked Welds

    I have a Parker Pilothouse and have never looked carefully at a Parker CC , this makes me unfamiliar with how the CCs are rigged and potential for a very dumb question but I’ll ask it anyhow, do you know for 100% certain that you don’t have any wiring run through the sections of T-top to be...

    Water in my tank!?

    You do realize that in the Northeast there is much more humidity then Southern California and there are tens of thousands of boats that have never run anything but ethanol operating in the Northeast? I’m not here to sing the praises of ethanol but it’s all we have up here and everyone burns it...

    Water in my tank!?

    I’m not even slightly convinced that what’s going on in your tank is even remotely related to ethanol issues. You’ve got a leaking sending unit gasket combined with leaky deck inspection ports or an issue with the fuel vent or an issue with a fill or vent hose or a hole in the tank or you’ve...

    Steering wheel knob

    Did Regardless of where you mount the knob on a boat with hydraulic steering, if you’re not manually steering the boat, gravity eventually results in the knob resting at 6 o’clock position. The entire time the knob is sliding down to 6 o’clock, it is gently exerting pressure on the wheel...

    Thinking about adding autopilot

    A mix of my anecdotal but extensive personal experience operating the system, relative ease of self installing and probably more time participating in boating forums then I should. I can’t even count how many threads that I’ve read with guys trying to chase down problems with garmin & simrad...

    2004 Parker 2501- fuel tank leaking

    Old piece went back in. For the record I did not do the job. I had a real bad wrist at the time and bit the bullet and paid to have it done.

    2004 Parker 2501- fuel tank leaking

    My boat is a 2520SL, no console to deal with and the tank was only 150 gallons but the deck still had to be cut to get at it.

    2004 Parker 2501- fuel tank leaking

    Here is a repost of lessons learned that I wrote back in 2020 after replacing my fuel tank, read at your own risk (perhaps you might find some information of value). “I am going to share my fuel tank story. It’s not a happy tale and gives me a $hitty feeling to tell but I am going to hoping...

    2320 repower

    Whatever I own, truck, boat etc, I never get as good of performance #s as other people on the internet. Why that is I won’t speculate but it is what it is. My boat is 2005 Parker 2520SL. I have a 2019 Suzuki DF300APXX, transom mount with 30” leg, propeller is Suzuki Watergrip 3x16x17. I carry...

    2520 ENGINE OPTIONS

    You and I don’t share much if any common ground in terms of opinion in regard to running a non marine generator on a Parker pilot house. I’m also not out to convince you that I’m right, so if you like the idea by all means do it.

    2520 ENGINE OPTIONS

    I fished 3 days last week on the anchor. Each day there were periods of wind against current and my stern was pointing almost directly into the wind despite being bow anchored. If I’d had a genny bungeed onto the stern the fumes would have been blowing into my cockpit and ultimately the...
