No, I do not have any inside info but was wondering.... Personally I do not/did not see the "need" for Parker to build a 34. Obviously they did. I have a dv 2510 that I fish the heck out of. Wouldn't a smoother riding 23 and 25 seem to make more sense than a 34 pilot house? A deeper vee...

Well Tom, I fish in a lot of ugly water when need be and I can't see water not getting in that switch. The fix I've come uo with is to cut a keyboard protector to size. Thanks Art

Good day, I need some thoughts. Boat Leveler Co. was the supplier for Parker, at one time, for the tabs. The switch had a soft, urethane cover that kept the switch water tight. The switch cover has ripped, 7 years, and the part is no longer available. BLC supplied me with the new water...

Wow, how to create trouble in the Parker family. Personally a wa can not be beat. Full canvas enclosure offers the option of protection and openness. Easy access to the controls and side storage hatches. When fast action is needed, and you must leave the operating position, you will not hit...

2510 w/ hardtop and electronics box. The electronics box really is inadequate, imo, in terms of size. My JRC radome got crushed by a falling tree and of course is not available. The new furuno screen and bracket does not fit in the box, where the old screen was mounted, it is too tall. I do...

I was told by a Parker service rep "end of the year, maybe."

2002 2510. When I use a gas pump and nozzle to fuel I have to feather the lever so carefully throughout the whole fuel. Forget about holding the handle wide open or even 1/2 open. The rush of air out the vent is very strong, the vent is working. Without an audible indication fuel blows out...

New hose, as short as physically possible, new fuel vent, perfect thru-hull and screen. Even though the filler hose does partially sit below the the filler barb on the tank, Parker engineering claims all 2510s are made this way. I will take the hose off of the tank barb and check inside the...

I have a fuel filling issue with my 2002 that without "surgery" I do not think can be fixed. It is apparent that the fuel fill hose actually dips below the fill in the tank thus creating an "S trap" ( unfortunately chit happens ). It's not a matter of venting or rerouting, been there, done...

My bit spits fuel like a geyser. No exaggeration when I say it burps a good 10" over the fuel fill. Never once thought to check the height of the fuel filler hose in relation to the inlet to the tank. Thanks for the suggestion. Art

I purchased a blemished tank from Kodiak, http://www.kodiakmarine.com/, and a dual purpose wash down/baitwell pump with replaceable cartridge. I have a rubber cushioning mat that I lay on the deck then place the well on top of it. The well does not move on deck when full. I ran the feed hose...

Evidently, the manager at the facility that I may go to is also addicted ti fishing. I understand he runs a new Grady and I'm thinking about hooking up.

Forgive the ignorance.... Typically, what's happening in the upper Chesapeake during the first week in December? A business trip in Chestertown is planned and I was going to spend a day fishing after work. Anything worthwhile? Thanks Art

A couple of pics of my dad and I from a recent trip of a 53+# Striper.

As many of you recall, back in August I asked for some suggestions about how to make my families first overnighting trip a good one. Thanks to all for your responses. We spent 3 full days , 2 nights on Cuttyhunk Island. We had an awesome time, highly recommend a trip there. Peaceful...

The family is going to try overnighting, actually 3 nights probably, next week. Going to Cuttyhunk and Menemsha. My wife has been on me to go campming, which we do not do, so I convinced her to use the boat as the tent. I've been compiling a list of ideas and needs for the few days and am...

Not for nothin' but a friends 2510 with twin hpdi went down Sunday with very similar problems to my own. Sounds like the ethanol s really messing things up!

Went out last night, a real 6-8 swell with 2-3 chop on top, 16-20 knots SSW. The first I've ever seen chop, 3' chop, on top of swell, kinda like a staircase, pretty cool. After a few tips from another 2510 owner on how to improve the ride, " why don't you try slowin' down " and playing with...

Thanks for your replies. It seems as though the vsts were in fact the culprit. Unfortunately, ts Beryl put a crimp on this weekends fishing plans. Thanks again.
