    21 se comparison

    Suzuki has a 175 and a 200... Both are inline 4 cylinder engines. I believe you would have a smile from ear to ear with a DF 200 Suzzy. :)

    Parker 1801 repower

    My guess is "Hole fillers". So many boats have a Speed-O in the mix of gauges.... When I redo a console on a boat... I eliminate the Speed-O. Why? Because they take up space and a not accurate. Furthermore... Your speed is right there in front you on your chartplotter via GPS.

    Parker 1801 repower

    You will have No problem with that with the DF 140B Suzzy. First... I have a different boat. 2072 SeaArk. Big Jonboat /centerconsole. 6 batteries onboard... No T top. I was wanting a DF140BG G indicates a Fly by wire. Then I changed my mind and go with the DF140B... Non Fly by wire and...

    Planning Speed/RPM 1801

    Don't know WHAT your reading with this "2000 RPM"? Right out of the Suzuki Owners Manual . Break In Procedure: 1. For the first 2 hours: Allow sufficient idle time [about 5min] for engine to warm up after cold engine starting. After warming up,run engine at idle speed for about 15min...

    Potential Purchase - 1991 Parker 2510 with Volvo AD41 engine

    Well... I/O's are not want people buy anymore. Just to much "Rusty" maintenance. PITA to work on. Manifolds & Risers, Broken rusty bolts and no room to work. Tri-axle "Painted" trailer. :( Having had a tri-axle... Never again! Super hard on Bearings and tires. Never mind that it is painted...

    Transom fish box rod (holds lid open)

    For that.... A Lot of boats had a heavy spring. Open the lid and the spring strengthened out and held it open. Push on the middle of the spring while closing the lid....Spring would fold in half and tuck away.

    Glassing center console together

    Wish you had a "Outside" pix. 2-3 layers of 1708 is WAY Overkill. 1 layer 1708 + 1 layer 1.5oz mat is way more than sufficient. My initial thought was West System Six10 adhesive..... If there is a flange? IF you decide to go thru this. Use duct tape on the outside over the screw...

    2300 CCDV 1999 Stainless Marine Twin Bracket Converted to Single Outboard?

    Forget about talking to Parker on this subject.... You wasted your time. Have you bothered to remove the pie hole cover and peer down in there ? That would tell you everything you need to know. But the answer is YES it can be done. You will need a drilling jig to drill the holes at the...

    1999 2520 fuel tank removal

    Racor you refer to is a regular marine mount and screw on filter.... But If you use one with a seperator and watch it...... You could help in removing water by draining it off. Fuel Funnel / Filter...

    Why did Parker stop making the 3420 Sport Cabin?

    There was also a time / fad when folks that owned BIG Battle wagons , got rid of them and jumped into 40-50 ft Quad center consoles to get to the fishing grounds Fast...... That has kinda moved into a Norm now. Hell even the Homeland Security has them.... Not that they do much under current...

    Why did Parker stop making the 3420 Sport Cabin?

    The simple answer is Sometimes "COOL" doesn't give you a good return on your investment.

    Anchor doesn't deploy

    I've had that on another boat with the foot switches and switch on dash..... The Remote is better... Have a cradle at the dash to hold it.

    Anchor doesn't deploy

    That's interesting Andy. I would have throught it would have Never done that. :) Now I get the BS of walking back and forth... I'll never install one like yours is with the momentary switch on the dash. Having installed 2 in the past with the 3 button remote..... It's a game changer. And it...

    Live well not filling with water

    If you leave the boat in the water unattended overnight. Close that Valve.

    Parker Sport Cabin - Anchor Line Jamming

    What Andy said.... :) You can soften up that old line ..... Use a cooler.....Put the anchor line in it. Water and fabric softner with make it supple. It's always a pain sticking your line back thru a 3in deck hole..... On ANY brand boat. Parker was notorious for not building a large enough...

    Rear Foldable Bench Seat for Parker 2510

    Thats a Lady Thing.... If your a serious fisherman.... You will Not want it. Furthermore... It's another thing thats more difficult to clean. Bean Bags are a Better alternative.

    Ride difference between 23 and 25

    Weight and length will always improve the ride. There are other trade offs with that. Such as... more weight.... needs more power. You have asked a question that is subjective and kinda open ended. Such as.... A center console will ride better than a Pilothouse. WHY? because the position...
