    Cabin storage

    This place has some tool holders/binocular box that I've had my eye on but haven't bought just yet. Also the drink holder category has some good stuff but not the taller sides like you're looking for Tool Holders | Deep Blue Marine Boating & Fishing Accessories If it doesn't need to be as...

    Wood inside bow pulpit

    I was thinking the same thing but couldn't figure how to utilize the bow ring to support a rod and hold it securely. I think I've also become a lot less concerned about holes as long as it's not wood cored. Although I guess you could use the same holes and sandwich some kind of plate between the...

    Wood inside bow pulpit

    If you're going the extra mile to add additional support, I'm thinking the kind of thing you see on a sailboat might be worth considering: Through bolt a plate on the exterior of the anchor locker and add a couple 1" supports to the bottom of the pulpit. You could probably use good bimini...

    Trailer advice

    I have a Venture trailer that might even be the same year. Mine was pretty well neglected and I ended up replacing the crossbeams and axles, but it was still way cheaper than most of the used trailers around me. Venture is still in business and was very helpful when I was sorting out what...

    Mortice Lock part number for Parker 2830

    Unofrtunately, it doesn't look like they have the same thing anymore so it will probably be easier to move on to something different than find any old stock of that model. Might be good to remove what you have and decide if you can clean up the door and measurements for mounts, or if the door is...

    Fueling issues

    Yes it should just be the one nut on the back. There might be some sealant holding it in place but mine didn’t have any so it just popped out easily. But before you unscrew it, you might get lucky and see something blocking the outside that you can clean out without removing anything.

    Fueling issues

    Not sure exactly what set up you have, but I would think he's referring to the thru hull fuel vent. On my boat you can visually inspect the fuel vent from the outside of the boat, and there is access to the fuel vent hose on the inside as it runs out the side of the hull. Check the fuel vent...

    Antenna Mounting bracket support

    Also note that in that spot where the cables run in the roof you’re mounting on one layer of fiberglass but there’s no core. I’d suggest moving your antenna mount maybe 10” forward and off of that hollow area where it is now so you have a layer of glass on both sides of the wood core. Then use a...

    Steering stops at center when turning wheel

    While I'm steering, my motors stop at the center when turning slowly but will continue if I give it a hard push. I thought I just had an issue with low fluid or or a bubble but purged and filled yesterday. If I turn the wheel quickly it's working great, but if I turn it slowly the motors will...

    Front bilge pump on 2520's

    I agree the fix for water getting in from the anchor locker is plugging it and draining out the side. It’s on my list for a project someday. In the meantime, please also check your limber hole drains in the bilge since it sounds like your boat is floating bow down as water collects. You...

    Front bilge pump on 2520's

    When you say "in the front" and "between the port and stbd berths" you mean in the cuddy cabin? I have water that collects a little further back under the standing part of the pilot house which seems to be about the midway point of the keel. I have a pump there but I haven't heard of water...

    Inactive - NOT MY BOAT - 2530 for sale

    If asking an Administrator posing as a Parker enthusiast what boat they have is somehow mean then something is really wrong. Take it as a lighthearted joke if you need to. Just don’t be confused into thinking a “commercial outdoors forum operator” is some sort of 501c3 running this forum out...

    Inactive - NOT MY BOAT - 2530 for sale

    Yeah, I know. I just like to point out that the person in charge of this site that keeps asking for donations doesn't have a Parker and uses pics of Bertrams and Wellcraft in the advertising pics. Bring Dale back....

    Water in my tank!?

    If you don’t smell fuel it’s a good sign but if you think it’s bilge water in the tank then a fuel tank pressure test is a low effort way to either put your mind at ease about the tank or identify a problem. I think 3 psi is max pressure to go to- you don’t want to stress the tank, you’re just...

    Helm Seat Bushing

    If nothing else pans out, you might check if someone can 3d print a part that can fill that section you’re referring to where it’s thru bolted.

    Helm Seat Bushing

    You may have to find any seemingly compatible option and just give it a try. I had a similar issue trying to find slider bushings for an older seat. I bought a couple options and just went with the one that worked best but it required a little bit of trimming. I did see this for yours that looks...

    Cabin storage

    I really like the removable storage for fins on the outside! I'll have to pick up some of the twist fasteners to do that. My first thought on the inside was to use snaps but I was thinking I wouldn't be removing it all that often. The plastic snaps applied with adhesive is a good idea. I plan...

    Cabin storage

    Just wanted to post a cheap storage idea. The dash is a great spot to stash phone etc but I had some other small items I wanted to leave on the boat. I found this car seat back organizer while looking to add some storage in my jeep. But it measured up to the same width of the side wall panel of...

    2005 yamaha 115 problem

    One more thing. Did you remove the pick up lines to inspect them when you were replacing parts? Sometimes they have a screen on the bottom that can clog, although it seems most don't have the screen. And sometimes they just degrade over time to the point that they could warp and restrict flow.
