I just installed one on a 300 and wanted to know if it was preferrable to use a washer on both sides or just on the nut side as supplied by Permatrim. I'm not sure it matters, but I've been getting OCD post install, questioning if I should do it any different before the 5200 cures. Has anyone...
Has anyone rewired the newer Jenson radios Parker installs so the little red light doesn’t come on when battery switch is in the ON position. Is this something that can be accomplished up at the helm station ? Seems like every time I drop off boat to get it serviced they leave the battery switch...
Gave my Powerhead a good misting of Yamashield Silicone lubricant tonight. Any particular areas that I need to be careful not to spray it ? I just sprayed all around bottom where block meets the sides and all around the sides. I never removed the plastic covers or anything. If there is a...
I’ve read threads regarding raising engine on older models, but has anyone with a newer 2320 and an F300 had their engine raised ? If so... I’d be real interested to hear how it performed.

Anyone know what this brown sealant is Parker is using on the Fuel / Vent Hoses ? I was going to remove to check for obstructions, but wanted to reinstall the same way the factory did. My local dealer told me they don’t use a sealant on hoses because the gas will degrade it. So what’s this then...
I have six month old 2320 and noticed wet carpet in the port side of forward cabin. Looks to be coming from the rub rail seam. Coincidentally I’ve been noticing more water in the bilge than normal and noticed the foam was wet on the aft corner port side of fuel tank. I need to rule out my 65...
My Yamaha control display has decided to randomly start telling me I’m going 180 mph etc... It works fine and then randomly the mph/mpg starts bouncing all over the place. I get GPS via Garmin 7610 XSV and works great until it doesn’t. Anyone ever have an issue like this before ?

Just curious what location has worked well for those with pilot house. My Garmin CCU is up in the bow about 2 ft from anchor locker. Has worked great for 6 months until last week. Boat icon is skewed now.Heading is off. Need to re-calibrate, but starting to wonder if it should have been...
I’m hearing such great feedback I think I might install one on a new 2320 w/ f300. Have any owners with these had any issues with corrosion where you drill the holes ? That has been my only concern. I’ll be installing it on a F300. Also, has anyone had the added benefit of additional rpms ...
I wanted to go ahead and post a fuel dilution issue I have been having on a new parker 2320 with an F/300 that has 67 hrs. I've flagged it with my dealer and spoken with Yamaha directly, but thought this could be a useful thread for future owners and to also hear from others that may have had...
I’m still on the fence with this one. We don’t really winterize our boats in San Diego. I add stabilizer at every fill up and Use my boat year round, but less in the winter. I’d prefer to not always leave it full in case I don’t use the boat for a while and be able to add fresh gas, but...
Hoping to get some help determining My WOT Rpms to see if I’m propped correctly. 2 weeks a go I hit 5200 Rpm at WOT with 2 guys, full tank and full 65 gallon bait tank, but I had engine trimmed all the way down. This weekend I got to 5800 rpm at 49 MPH, but had to trim up 6 bars to get this RPM...
Armstrong sent me a sample of paint that they use on the Parker Brackets. Figured I’d post in case anyone else was curious. I’m sure there’s other cheaper options. I just never could match the color. not bad to have for a few nicks here and there.

Finally put some blood on the deck of the new boat this weekend ! Struck out the last three weekends, but caught our limit and left them biting. Loving this boat.

Does anyone know what the black stuff parker uses in between the hardware and the deck or gunnels. I’d like to source it and use when re-installing bench seat to deck. I can’t tell if it’s foam, black 5200 or butyl tape or something ? Anyone know. Attached are pictures

So I have a new boat, new batts ( 1 starter and 2 house batteries ). The house batteries are joined in parallel. I fish on the drift a lot running bait tank etc...yesterday my house batteries were reading 11.2 volts while under way and the starter was reading 14.4-14.6. Shouldn't the house...
Well after a year of planning and lots of good input from you fine folks. The boat arrived and finally finished getting outfitted. The folks at West Coast Marine and Kevin Kelly in particular did a fantastic job and get nothing but rave reviews. Now it's time to go fishing !!

Anyone have any experience using one of these from a half tower on a parker. Read some reviews of not so good range, but would be handy.
