The cold weather has set us back a week or two up here North of Boston. I pulled the cover off Saturday but if if doesn't warm up soon I won't get the Wax to properly set and the bottom paint will take ages to dry. What else is on your list this year? I just remembered it's been a couple...

I have a vintage 2000 2520 MV and part of every Spring opening and fit-up is hitting the stains with a Spritz of Resolve Carpet Cleaner. Like Tim says, it's the glue bleeding through. No Biggie. Resolve makes the stains disappear, and I don't see them again until next Spring when she wakes up...

It’s such a simple, low-cost, low-impact project that I’m kicking myself for not having done it years ago. I could have saved myself the cost of a new Fuel Gauge and stretched another couple years out of the original cabin upholstery. All week long while I was at work she was sitting there...

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the difference. In New England our boating season is so short I never thought I’d be concerned with overheating in my Parker 2520 cabin. However, In July and August it can get fairly hot here. While she’s at rest in her slip during the week with the...

Once I figure out how to work this unit a little better, I’ll bet I get even finer resolution.. :roll: As it stands now, I can differentiate individual mooring blocks and lobster traps at 40 feet! Next year we’ll run some divers under the (anchored) boat with the SS unit on, to see what kind...

Welcome Aboard Wooly Bully! From your Intro it sounds like you’ve landed in the right place here at ClassicParker. If a modification can be done to a Parker, chances are good someone here has tried it, and posted it in the ClassicParker Knowledgebase,,,,, or their workin’ on it. 8) It’s...

I had not looked at the Garmin SS unit until just now.... Regardless of which one you wind up with, get the biggest display you can. Size Matters :shock: !! These Side Scan sonars are capable of such fantastic detail, that you really need the real estate of a large display to catch all the...

Back in 2007 I installed a 3D sounder from Humminbird. It was a blast to use, and saved us lots of time. 3D Sounder Post Last year I moved up to the 998CSI Side Scan Sonar Model Link to Catalog . Our goal was to try out the Sidescan technology as another tool to help select dive spots...

1.) This was a plug-and-play replacement of the original unit, so I just butt-spliced the new sending unit into the same harness as the old one. Same color code etc. Shrink wrapped over the butt-splices. The cables supplied with the replacement sender weren't long enough to do anything else...

Dale is –exactly- right. The fill hose is too long, resulting in a “P” trap condition where fuel pools in the hose below the top of the tank. I discovered this while replacing my fuel and vent lines last year. See the photos below. I have a 2000 2520, with a 125 Gallon tank, and in this...

Cool Install Jim. Interesting tip on Pandora through the Droid. 8) Where does the Droid hang out when it's plugged into the Aux for the Stereo?

We're watching closely up here, and praying that that containment dome will buy them enough time to drill the relief well to cap the blowout. But even if they shut off further leakage tomorrow, you sure have your hands full down there to try to contain and recover the stuff already on the...

Cool Graphic! 8) Did they cut the port side graphic as a "mirror image" with flaming hair flying aft?

My screws looked like this before I replaced my sensor. Aluminum screws with heads mostly stripped out. I didn't notice any triangular-shaft-effect on the screws like you saw. I replaced them with stainless screws. Probably should have used aluminum screws (since the tank is aluminum...

It's like playin' Whack-A-Mole,,,, The more you whack 'em, the more they pop up!

Congratulations on the birth of your new BABY! :lol: And what an excellent midwife Robin was.....taking teaser photos all along the way.... 8) Where else are you gonna get service like that? :D Thanks for sharing the "delivery" with all of us..... it never gets old. John...
