2003 vs 2006 Parker 2120

Ba_reefer · Apr 7, 2016

Hi i was wondering if people can give me any changes or differences with various years of production. It looks like at some point parker switch from plastic thru-hull fittings to brass? Im primary looking at 2003-2009 parkers 2120.

Thanks in advance for any help. Looking forward in being a parker owner!

Not sure of all the differences from those years but I have a 2003 2120 and the roof is flat on top. Newer ones have a molded hump where the wiring is run. Access hatches are accessed from inside the cabin making it much easier then previous years. My 2003 does not have that. Maybe that was added in 2006 or later?

Access hatches inside the cabin?? Not sure which ones you are talking about. My 06 has plastic thru hull for the bilge. The roof change was after 06. Not sure when, maybe 07 or 08?

i believe they are round deck hatches that unscrew....but installed in the overhead inside the cabin. The hump on the roof is the void space to access/run the cables.....better design then the non hump roof in earlier years.
Also i have round small wire runs in the aft, starboard corner of the pilot house (behind drivers seat). What a pain when running speaker wire, antenna cables, ect....
I notice the newer builds have a molded plastic removable trim piece for easy access.
The newer helms are a different shape as well
