What are the specs on the factory raw water pump? And for a replacement, would you use the same again or go for more gpm? My pump is thoroughly dead and unrecognizable due to corrosion (see pic for comic value). I have a separate baitwell pump so this is for dedicated washdown but I do need...

Interesting question. And I never thought about it before, but I wonder how much the tank grounding wire can help with degradation of the tank while it's trapped in all that foam that has a tendency to get wet. I always thought of it more as a way to protect the fuel fill from static electricity...

I had good luck with these: Springfield Marine Trac-Lock Slide Pads They didn't quite fit right out of the box, but after sanding down two thicker spots on the outside of the slide pad they fit snug into the track. They're about an inch longer than the discontinued pieces made for our seats but...

I would replace it just for the peace of mind. I might skip it if Parkers had an access panel instead of a solid deck that has to be cut for access. You're already doing everything else that should make the boat ready for at least another twenty years. Even though the tank appears pretty good...

Do you have a flat area that needs a thin coat, or an indentation at your repair that needs to be built up a little? I have a 2006 with the same color but I have not had the best luck with the touch up kits. I used the spectrum paste for some quarter sized gouges and it worked pretty well as far...

When you’re sitting still in the water the low spot could be a little more forward near the cabin so it would never reach the aft bilge (at least it is on the 2820) so water that settles in the forward section wouldn’t get pumped by the rear bilge. If you ran the boat before putting it on the...

I appreciate the input from everyone. I hope to find out if I'm rebuilding or repowering in the next couple weeks. If it comes to a repower then the middle of the road option of 200's makes sense to me but it may just come down to what's available. And the Haulover Inlet videos are great, make...

warthog I've gotten a lot of great info from a lot of your posts so first, thank you. And I get it that it's better in a lot of situations. I'm just thinking it's not necessarily every situation, possibly including mine. No inlets. Fishing spots are no more than a few miles away so mileage is...

I have a 2820 that either needs a lot of work on the twin Yamaha 250's or a new power set up. I don't have far to get to my spots and I don't need to get there at 50mph so I've been interested in the twin 150 setups I've heard about in this thread 150s on a 28? A lot of folks want max HP in...

Others probably have better insight but... A closed transom with a bracket that puts the motors further back makes the boat ride like a larger boat due to the increased length of boat in the water. And you usually get some more storage, although the transom fish box on most older models are not...

Any pictures? I have no clue what you’re talking about but it sounds interesting.

Looks good. Is this the Calisto MT font for the text portion? If I ever settle on a name, I was thinking of doing the same.

I keep looking at that diagram but I’m pretty novice at wiring. Does the “unswitched” bilge have any power if you turn off your battery switch? IF that’s true, you might consider changing the power source from that switch panel to a fused line wired direct to the battery. But if you stick to...

Just a heads up, I bought the Perko from Cecils marine a couple weeks ago and had to work on the internals to get it to operate smoothly. A few parts needed to be filed down just a bit where they had rough edges that affected how it worked. And I think I ended up swapping out one internal metal...

$50k and it goes down by 1,000 for each additional time you post the same question.

Well I guess I should say one was significantly affected and the other was much less. All I saw that had issues on the other was some of the wires sending signal to tach etc. I'm gonna try patching the wires this weekend and see what happens. Thanks everyone.

The joys of project boats... I have a set of F250's that sat for a few years that I'm trying to do minimal repairs until I figure out if they're any good. At some point the cowls were left off long enough for a mouse to get in one and nibble some wires but it doesn't look like he was in there...

Does anyone know if the bow rail on a 2006 2820 would be stainless or alumninum? The front of mine near the pulpit has a damaged section I plan to cut out and replace with something a little taller. It seems like stainless based on how hard it is to cut with a hacksaw but I don't want to order...

Discussed in this thread, and then at the end there is a link to someone's project info doing the rerouting you're thinking about: https://www.classicparker.com/threads/anchor-locker-drain.5496/#post-141828
