    profish 700 windlass

    I had major problems with my 2120 with this, UNTIL I switched over to 8 plait rode. Since then I hardly ever have any issues. I would try some liquid tape applies over the splice, which helped a lot before I switched over. I also used to have issues with the 3 strand getting jammed under the...

    Cover off!

    I took mine off yesterday and began the sanding process on my bottom. Going from Pacifica Plus to Seahawk Cukote. Once that is done rest is fairly easy, just waxing and general cleanup. Should be able to splash in a couple weeks if I want.

    What size Yeti for 23SE?

    I think the prices of some of these high tech coolers is crazy. Noway am I going to spend 4-5 hundred on a cooler. Very happy with my Coleman 165 qt cooler from BJ's for 69 bucks. Cooler is long enough to stack 3-4 50-60 lb yellow fins :mrgreen:

    Questions about 2520 vs. 2820 vs. 2810 ride

    I was at the AC boat show on Friday and they had a good deal on the 2520xld with single 300 for 115K. That seemed like a good price to me considering they base price was 117 in 2016.

    Who says Parkers are slow?

    If I ever repower mine I will go to twin 200's, so far I am satisfied with my single 300. That mic flapping around would drive me nuts thou......lol

    James Hebert@Parker

    Syn, I agree with you 100%. This is my second brand new Oarker and the customer service has been very poor BUT I appreciate when someone does me a favor regardless. In the past I have had some issues and Parker almost never answers an email or phone call. Usally I just put my hand in my pocket...

    James Hebert@Parker

    I would like to give a tip of the cap to James Hebert @ Parker. I sent a technical question through the site about the Parker Logo on my 2015 which had started to delaminate. My problem was forwarded to him. Seems the logo that was used in 2015 was only used one year from that particular vendor...

    White painted/powdercoated screws

    Yep I got the 316 stainless today. I did one frame under the seat and used white boat life caulk after I cleaned rust and dirt. I am just going to do the hatch frames under seats and switch 4-5 white screws on starboard side where the frame is bolted together, this way everything still looks...

    White painted/powdercoated screws

    I ordered 2 boxes of stainless bolts and going to change them all out. Like you said it becomes a never ending problem as some bleed/rust some do not. I am going to get a price on changing fabric on cushions this week. I imagine if I went towards a vinyl cover that would eliminate future mold...

    White painted/powdercoated screws

    I have a 2015 2520 XLD. All the trim, door frames etc Parker used white/powder coated screws and machine bolts. I think this was a bad choice vs plain stainless. After second season I replaced all of the deck screws holding the trim around bait well etc as most kept bleeding thru. Replaced with...

    Shrink wrapping a pilothouse

    I been shrink wrapping/covering my Parkers every winter as stated above I don't want the freeze/thaw cycle. Last season I had a Fisher cover made and it was well made and was a pleasure to unzip the door and get in there to do projects as spring got close.

    LED 30" Anchor Light Replacement

    I found the base with knob for 20 bucks. Either I will change it over the winter or just buy a new Attwood, and yes I agree I could probably just change the pole if I bought separate parts which are available.

    LED 30" Anchor Light Replacement

    Looking to replace the anchor light that came with my 2015 2520. Searched all over but can't find anything over 24" ? Anyone have a useful link? The ones I saw online are only 12-13" high but not tall enough with radar dome.

    Fisher Canvas Boat Cover - Parker 2820 - Near New

    I bought a Fisher cover last year and have to say it fit perfectly on my 2520. I had a zipper installed and it was a pleasure to get in and out of the boat to do projects while still being protected from the snow. It is a little heavy and can barely put on by myself, BUT get someone who you take...

    2520 XLD single 300 prop

    I changed my Yamaha Saltwater Series II last year to a PowerTech 4 blade which I believe was a 17.5 x15. You lose a little off top end speed but make up in MPG and getting up on plane faster

    Sagging headliner repair fix found!

    When I had this issue with my 2120 I pulled the carpet down on one side and sprayed the 3m and carefully pressed back into place, when I got to the corners I actually had a couple of inches excess which I trimmed with a razor. I did the same on the other half and never had an issue again. The...
