    New Shore Power and BEP Cluster

    These are examples of the busses & links I mentioned. The buses were built at the same height as the switch; which may be taller than the clusters

    New Shore Power and BEP Cluster

    WH5 I have a very similar (twin engine / 3-bank) battery move and re-wire situation. I’ve followed your posts on the many BEP installations you’ve done. My question may also interest P719. I saw a Y-Tube called “Pro Installer v Conventional System” They used a “Dual bank” instead of a cluster...

    My '95 2530

    WH5 Thanks for your response, your original instructions were clear. I just wanted to be sure I did it just as you had done. When it comes to boat work you’re obviously better than the average Bear. Thanks for sharing your experience and often creative approach.

    My '95 2530

    WH5, I saw this post a few years back and liked your very thorough approach to discouraging moisture intrusion. Unfortunately I had already installed my newest hatch. I have two hatches similar to the size of yours and one smaller, all by Bomar. I’m about to refinish the deck so I’ve removed the...

    Need too get rust stains off cabin carpet on pilot house

    Are you talking about the truck spray on bed liner? • Do they make it in a white or off white color? • Soft to the touch? I thought its durability made it pretty rigid. Does it have the usual bed liner wrinkled finish?

    Need too get rust stains off cabin carpet on pilot house

    How I cleaned the carpet / “Monkey Fur” on my 2005 Parker 2520xl. The carpet, like other 17 year old Parkers had a lot of issues. I decided I would try to restore it instead of removing and painting. I’ve made significant improvements, what some have called “IMPRRSSIVE!!!”, My Method: FIRST...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    There was no tag with a reference to ID the seat. But if you screenshot the picture I sent and send it to Parker or a dealer I’m sure they can find it. Good luck, let me know if you find a supplier.

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    That’s what I want. I wont b able to use the bolster in the up position on the port side because there’s a build up of about 15” for a couple of drawers. But it’ll still make a comfortable seat.

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    I didn’t know they were were Bentley seats. A previous owner did the install not long before I made the purchase. I really like the the material, I think it’s vinyl but has a fine weave canvas texture to it. The material is very durable and cleans up well. I’ll look today at the bottom of the...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    Pelagic This is what I have at my helm of my 05’ 2520xlSC. I love the ride. I’m looking for another, upholstered the same way, to put in the co-pilot position. However, because of the cabinet changes the new seat wouldn’t b on a seaspension post. That’s ok, these seats have extra thick padding...

    Bronze scupper tube cracked

    To expand the hole if you’re replacing with PVC: • Chose the proper size hole saw for your PVC choice. • Using the hole saw make a plywood guide by drilling a piece of 1/2” or 3/4” plywood; preferably with a drill press to reduce any wobble. • Then clamp, brace, or screw the plywood in place...

    found this pic on the internet...

    Thanks for the response, and for the link. When you said “Don’t over think” I thought does he know me. Overthinking is what I do. I too have a 2520xl (2005). You seem to have found the perfect size (if it wasn’t altered). Just a few questions: • Do you recall the size? • Are those collapsible...

    found this pic on the internet...

    I’m looking to make a shade cover as a winter project. I like this example; simple, functional, and looks good. I’m wondering whether it’s a stock tarp or made to fit. If anyone has something similar I’d like to see and or hear about it.

    Wet foam

    So the question becomes; where is the water coming from that at is accumulating in the fuel tank bay. You now better understand why I created drain tubes on each side of the PVC as it exits the aft bulkhead of the fuel bay (see picture in my last post).
