    Parker Fuel Tank Dimensions

    I’m glad that this document was of some use to you. The drawing was provided to me by Parker Marine after I emailed them with my Hull Identification Number, so I was certain that I could rely on the drawing for the fabrication of my replacement fuel tank. I would caution you to do your...

    Boat Tarps - Use a good DIY 'A'-Frame & $90 tarp versus shrink wrap @ $20 per foot - PER year!

    Here is my version of the traditional wood ridge-pole-tarp-wrap which includes two distinct features that reflect the long cold New England winters; A High ridge (steep slope to shed snow) and a two-rope rubrail-seal (to keep out critters). This is the minimalist approach, "barebones". Low cost...

    WTF did Parker do

    Maybe they're trying to make it easier to work a fish around the engine? Or maybe it's where we will put the battery packs when we are all mandated to convert to electric outboards? ........... Seriously, the more they move away from the original design, the more significant the title of this...

    Welcome to ClassicParker huber. You definitely have a Classic there, and she appears to have been well cared for. Its important for us owners of the more "senior" Parkers to maintain them well and keep them looking great and working on the water for as long as we can. Not only does it protect...

    What subscriptions/services do you have related to your boat?

    Not sure if BoatUS/SeaTow Services count as one of your paid subscriptions/services, but emergency towing services are the only annual subscription I currently have. John

    Need manuals for 2002 Parker 2520 XL Sport Cabin

    Hi Capt. Greg. Up until just recently most of us also acquired our Parkers without any Manuals. The Classic Parker site is our collective effort to assemble the Parker Owner's Manual across all model years. The schematics and technical documents included in this reference section of the...

    You just captured the allure of Parker boats. They are so damn configurable, like a blank canvas just waiting to be customized by each individual Parker owner to suit their own dream of what a fishing/diving/cruising/family vessel should be. No two Parkers will be modified in the same way. We...

    Back to 23 SE CC after 20 years of 2520 PH

    Looking good! Those decks sure are white! I dunno Cap’n. I guess downsizing is just part of the Parker Owner’s Cycle of Life, but I will surely miss the dancefloor of my 2520. I’m just a couple years behind you, and I suppose I will also be faced with the downsize question soon. Hey, I’ve done...

    Water in battery compartment

    I've got the identical setup, 2520 MV, shallow notch transom, battery boxes set up the same way. I have no holes in the location you show in the photos and I have never seen any water in either side box over 19 years of ownership. Maybe the washdown pump or hose connections in your Port...

    Pretty bummed about this, 23SE

    Based on your history of bringing them in big and bloody, I think that's a wise choice Cap'n

    Thanks for generously sharing your "stash" of documents with us. You have just made it easier for some other lucky Parker owner to care for his pride and joy. It's important for owners of vintage-aged Parker models like we both have to share their records as encouragement for the continued...

    Beautiful commute

    Wow, this is such a beautiful panoramic shot it belongs on a postcard, or maybe on a poster.....an "I wish I was there" poster. There she is, at the end of the dock, beckoning you to walk down the ramp and head out for the day......every Parker owner knows that feeling well, and you captured it...

    anti fatigue helm mat

    Over the last 19 years that we have been diving from your old hand-me-down Mod-V, I have tried two different approaches to anti-fatigue helm floor mats and gave up on both. First I tried the squishy imitation diamond-plate stuff from Costco/HomeDepot/Lowes, probably just because it had...
