    21SE Engel Issue

    I have an Engel 240 on my 2320. No problems holding ice for 12 hrs. I’ve noticed that not all rotomolded coolers are the same even apples to apples. I have two yeti small coolers: a 35 and a 45. That 45 doesn’t hold ice for 4 hours before it starts to melt significantly. Where the 35 holds ice...

    New member intro

    Welcome aboard a great enthusiasts site: I also had a 225 Optibomb on a Make 231. Damn, that was a fast motor: pushed that hull near 40mph.

    Tim Dolan

    Welcome aboard sir. Start saving your coin for a repower. 4 strokes are so NICE: quiet, no smoke, good fuel economy, easy peasy to maintain. Again, welcome aboard!

    What's the best way to make my new 2320 Parker w/F300... slower?

    anyone who says this hull ( 2320) doesn't need a 300 never ran a 2320 with a 300. It's a weight distribution problem to be solved. Jim said it best above: Get a 160 quart cooler and put it between the berths. Fill it with ice. Either use it for your primary cooler or use it just to hold...

    2820 Milage

    2830 with twin 225's yielded me 1.3-1.4 mpg. So, your fuel burn seems reasonable. They are just big, heavy hulls that require a lot of power to keep them moving. The lack of reasonable fuel economy was the nidus for me to sell my 2830. It is what it is.

    Simrad transom mount transducer location

    Certainly not the best view of the X'ducer, but again, pinch and zoom and you can see where mine is mounted. Works flawlessly here.

    Simrad transom mount transducer location

    My 3 into 1 runs immediately down the bracket on the stbd side. If you are on your phone viewing this thread, you can pinch and zoom into this area to see my installation. No problems reading while running or bottom fishing. Sorry, its' the only pic of my transom I could find...

    Dual vs Triple axle trailer for 2520

    This is your best option. It's the only option I would consider.

    Fuel smell in battery compartment

    I would use the KISS method to start with: really try to keep it simple. It would be unusual for a 16 year old Parker to have a leaking fuel cell… not unheard of, but not usual. I would start w the primer bulb. But at 16 years old it would be reasonable to replace the fuel Line, primer bulb and...

    2012 Parker 2320 For sale

    Can you tell us what happened to your F300 that it requires a new powerhead? I only ask because many of us own that same motor on that same hull ( and other hulls). Someone will scoop that Hull / trailer up from you in a heartbeat.

    Custom Under Gunnel rod/misc brackets

    I would imagine your sales would increase if you would post how much it cost. Is there a reason you are not posting a price for the public to view?

    Batteries

    Agree with Wart. I would remove the batteries, bring them to a reputable battery shop, drop them off to be load tested and charged. Often they will keep them overnight. Then, the next day they can tell you if the battery's dead or was resuscitated.

    Rod holders for my 2320 SC

    what is your purpose for the rod holder trident/ trees? Most often they are used for kite fishing where you have a kite rod and a fishing rod on the same set up. If its rod storage you are after, it would be more reasonable to either add a rocket launcher or modify the existing one with more...

    150 Yamaha

    LOL. When I get resistance from my better half about boating purchases... I just mention "it's a safety issue, honey"....and that tends to get my foot at least in the door. Enjoy your boat. It was one of my favorite boats, that 2120.. only to be surpassed by my new 2320.

    150 Yamaha

    When you say "it seems to bog down when taking off", are you referring to the RPM's are bogging down and the engine is not making power? OR are you saying, the yamaha 150 is spinning up on RPM's, but it takes a long time to plane the hull? I would assume you are referring to the latter: But...

    Fuel Filter Question

    What year is your hull? I replace my primary fuel water separator every 6 months. My inline fuel filter beneath the cowling is examined, but if found clean I leave it in place.

    New Parker Owner

    Welcome to Classic Parker. I also have a 2021 Parker 2320 with a single 300. Arguably, the most utilitarian family oriented boat I have ever owned. Congrats. You should be happy for a very long time on that boat. Post some pics when you have a moment.

    The End of the 2300DV?

    I find that hard to believe.

    Sea trial, 2520...follow up to my splash post

    GREAT boat. Congrats. Agree with above post: Could not live without my second station. I LOVE running the boat from the cockpit.
