    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    I made the bases myself because I wanted them to follow the contour of the Parker inboard facing seat bases. I made them out of marine plywood, glassed them, and sprayed them with Parker gelcoat. The suspension bases are made by "smooth moves". The seats are made by Bentley Marine.

    HELP Cabin Carpet Removal

    Hi Lou, I guess it kind of depends on how much of your boat you are planning to do, and is it a 2320, 2520....? The difficult areas to do and come out looking professional and clean are the areas that require a seam. The cabin area is pretty straight forward, because the way I did it there are...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    Sorry, I cant remember the name of the seat. When I ordered those Bentley seats, I was on the phone talking to the salesman. I was kind of telling what I was looking for and the dimensions. He told me that they had just designed a new seat and it sounded like what I was after. He sent me email...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    I have a 2005 2820 that I am just wrapping up a 4 year rebuild. I gutted my cabin and bought new inboard facing seat bases from Parker, then I made 2 forward facing bases with built in tackle lockers that are contoured to fit against the Parker base. I used Smooth Moves seat bases, and Bently...

    Suspension seat ideas?

    I have a 2820 with a very similar situation. I used a seat base called smooth moves. The nice part about the smooth moves base is its adjustable for the person's weight, it has a height adjustment, it can adjust forward and back, and can even turn.

    Fuel consumption

    I have a 2005 2820 Deep V with twin Yamaha 250 4 stroke motors. I would be stoked to get anywhere close to the milage you guys are reporting. On a good day I get 1.1 and sometimes with a full fuel tank and full bait tank, I get about 0.9 I cant afford to use it much anymore.

    Console dashboard - winter project

    Before I bought my 2820 I had an older Parker 23 center console. When I bought the boat it was missing the windshield. I built this out of 1/2" seafoam colored starboard. It sat down over the console top right into the molded groove for the windshield. I used the boat for quite a few years after...

    In hull transducer on an 1801

    I had a Parker 23 center console and installed an Airmar inhull transducer that came with the yellow tank. At first it was sporadic and I found out it was leaking. I sealed it up around the inside edge with 5200. After that, it worked great for the rest of the time I had the boat. I also had a...

    Positioning of thru hull transducer

    I had a 1KW ducer in my inhull unit. When I first installed it, my tank also leaked. I sealed it with a bead of 5200 all the way around the inside and outside. It stopped the leak and the unit is still working today. I know the guy that bought the boat and talk to him often. He loves that inhull...

    Positioning of thru hull transducer

    About 7 years ago I had a Parker 23 center console (before getting my 2820), I had the Airmar in hull ducer and really liked it. It gave very clear readings at high speeds.

    2017 2300 DV live well

    You should also have a valve on your livewell drain line which is a much larger diameter line and should be plumbed through your transom. Make sure that is also open or your livewell will overflow and begin draining onto the deck.
