    Enclosing Transom

    Adding a bracket will not change your trailer requirements. Your not even adding 500 pounds ....You would still need at least a 6000 pound trailer... probably best w a 7000 pound trailer. Double axle trailer new 7000 pound should run you about $4500.

    Center of Weight Front to Back 2520 XLD?

    That was a really great video. Thanks for taking the time to shoot it and post it here. Two questions for you 1.) your rocket launcher on the transom between the transom and the motor upper cowling, can you tilt your motor all the way up without touching that rocket launcher?? 2.) are those...

    Your bracket becomes part of the boat.

    Parker 2001 2100se trolling motor recommendation

    One last note because it hasn’t been mentioned yet. you will need a backing plate w any bow mounted trolling motor. The base plate bracket should thru-bolt in 6 locations through your forward casting deck through a backing plate, washers, locknut. This may require a 1/2” to 1” “spacer” between...

    Weird. I also prefer the claw, but if you want to pay for shipping, you can have the minn Kota stabilizing arm I posted above. It’s new ; in packaging, never opened. Because like you, I prefer the RAM mount.

    2510 Repower with 300 Yamaha

    I don’t understand why you think your bracket has a max horsepower of 250? Your bracket was fitted to the Parker from the factory. Your Parker is rated for 325 HP. Therefore your bracket is also rated for 325 HP. If that’s a modV, the 300 will be plenty. Since you posted the Max Hp of 325, I’ve...

    West coast bow rail

    That is not going to be a fun project... lining up them thru bolts: 3/8” Save your bolts and label them as they are different lengths based on position. Oh it’s going to take 3 guys too to pull it all back together.

    Ps: the last picture I posted is exactly to the T how I would mount a minn Kota 36v,112 pound 72” on a Parker 21 SE

    Parker 2001 2100se trolling motor recommendation

    i’ve installed two in the last 12 months. The 112 pound Minn Kota’s all come with their Minn Kota stabilizing arm. you can see it installed on my last boat. I did modify the stabilizing arm so I would not have to drill into my washboards. This boat was too pretty to put more holes in. The...

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    What would I use a kickermotor for? Outboard technology is so dependable now, I do not expect a mechanical failure offshore. Furthermore, w an EPIRB, PLB, AIS, 3 VHF’s, BOATUS membership - I just don’t see the value in a kicker motor. now if I were running a 300 HPDI, or an old Johnson looper...

    2015 - 2320 Autopilot Pump Placement Location

    Mine is a Simrad rpu80 pump mounted horizontally inside the pilothouse on the starboard side all the way behind the helm seat and storage area : it’s where the rod tips would enter if you put rods through the little grommet from the cockpit. way behind this organization out of the way, clean...

    Wart: hey bud! The “puck Antenna" is called a heading sensor: this heading sensor does one thing only: Allows you to "jog" 5 feet in any direction: this is simply a heading sensor that has bluetooth communication to the motor and tells the motor the longitudinal axis of the boat to "jog". If...

    New member in search of older 2320 (or possibly 2120)

    My thoughts would be the same if you got it in the high teens.... ask yourself this: Am I ok buying a boat that is going to need $6-12,000 in fuel tank, deck replacement, rewire, etc... w/ in the 1st 6 months of ownership? I sure wouldn't be cool with that. Also, I would not want to take on...

    1991 Parker Fuel Tank

    Nobody has mentioned the safety issue of a leaking fuel tank under your deck. I know you removed the fuel. Vapors are trapped and fuel shifts around, spark somewhere ..(bilge pump, etc..) I personally would not operate this boat until that console was removed, deck cut up, fuel tank removed...

    you don’t want that 1998 2320: it’s going to need a fuel tank replacement sooner than later. That would be discouraging within the 1st 24 months of ownership. plus it’s 21 years old probably got water in transom, Stringers. It’s got an old smokey 2 stroke. Hold out. You’ll scoop one up, but I...
