Parker 2520 XLD - Second Station (NY)

[3986]

Hello everybody. New member here, happy to have such a great community! This forum helped me a lot in my research and I just got my 2021 2520 Parker XLD.

The boat doesn’t have a secondary station and I already decided I need one. Question is - where should I get it from? Who can install it? I’m in Long Island NY.

Hey 3986, (Are you Borg? ☺)....Welcome to ClassicParker! You got your hands on one of the best; a prejudiced opinion, as we too have a 2520 XLD ☺.... Ours has the free-standing, cockpit second-station and I find it invaluable; I would not want to be without it. The bulkhead-mounted second-station is also great. Which one are planning to go with? There's a lot of threads and discussion here on CP about installing one 'after-market'... It's not an inexpensive issue, but is surely doable.

Andy, thanks for such a prompt response!

I’m trying to install a free standing second station, at the back.

Maybe 2 feet behind the pilot house.

I’ve seen many threads re same - I just can’t find someone in my area (Long Island, NY) who is willing to do this project. I don’t have experience for myself and would t want to mass up the boat

I have one on the Bulkhead, Got the entire package from Parker themselves, and the dealership installed it for me.

Rumor says some parts are in back order. But I’m going to give it a short on Monday.

Are you from NY. Did you find a dealer up here to install it?
