I am getting about 1.8 miles per gallon. I generally cruise about 4100 RPM now. Engine is nice. Quieter than the Yamaha. Feel free to PM me

Picked it up today

Love my Parker and love the Parker family! Its a great family owned company and not a corporate entity only interested in making money. Will always buy Parker as long as it stays the same type of company. The company has always been able to answer my questions fast and point me in the right...

Purchased the 300 APW and awaiting delivery/install. Not doing a gauge on the second station.

Think it is a mod V.

Project on hold. Repowering instead. may have the dreaded yamaha corrosion.

I am repowering my 04 Parker 2520. It has a 2003 225 4 stroke. I am going with a suzuki. I have dual stations. Looking at either a 250ss with mechanical controls or a 300ap with fly by wire controls. With using my existing morse setup, the 250 is 4 grand less. Really leaning towards the 300...

On the pilot house roof.....gave it some brief thought. If I used a mermaid M5 or M6, it could be run by a honda 1000 gen. That is 20lbs less than the honda 2000 generator. I think I remember that someone had a mermaid M5 and it didn't keep the cabin cool enough

A few years ago, I embarked on trying to get AC for my 2005 Parker 2520. I am in Virginia and the family does not enjoy boating during the summer heat. We use the boat mostly during the fall striper season. I may use it a total of 20 engine hrs per year. With adding AC, I am hoping to use...

My dome light broke on my 2003 2520. I left the light on the boat without measuring it. Can anyone measure the diameter? I want to buy a replacement. Found some threads where folks replaced with 7 inch and another with 5.5 inch LEDs. Any help is much appreciated.

I cannot find a lot of information on the new Lowrance autopilot other than from the Lawrence site. It is advertised to hold a track for trolling. Can't tell whether it will work with trolling speeds of 2 knots or so. This past season, I went trolling for stripes about 7 or 8 times. Next...

Priced out a few options. Garmin GHP 10 with pump will be a little shy of 3k. Like this unit quite a bit. But compared to the unreleased Lowrance autopilot, it may be 2k more. In speaking with BOE marine, the lowrance will be a low end unit with limited capabilities. Not sure if spending 2k...

Thanks. The lowrance may just be the best price solution. It looks like it is a new product. I wonder how well it works

I have a 2003 Parker 2520 with a yamaha 225 4 stroke. The electronics include a networked HDS 7 and HDS 10. I am thinking about adding an autopilot. I would use it to help steer the boat as I troll for stripers. I do not travel far from home port. Would a Raymarine EV-100 with a type .5...

Thanks for the link. I did see that post on my search. It appears to be one of the single hose models. I will see if I can get a two hose model to fit in same location.
