    Introducing my newest Parker

    My new Parker in the foreground. Now I have an inshore and an offshore Parker. It doesn't get any better than that!

    Interesting configuration

    I was talking to Armstrong about their slide in telescoping ladder (does anybody have one?) and he asked if I had seen the Parker with the Yanmar Diesel engine built in to the Armstrong Bracket. He emailed me the brochure. Looks interesting. I don't know if it is my cup of tea, but worth...

    help with autopilot

    I installed an RMS1000 autopilot. All the tests show that it is installed properly. However, I can't get a gps fix on the AP. I have a Furuno Nav Net Vx2 GPS Plotter. Has anybody else run in to this or have any ideas? Is there any settings on the GPS that need to be changed to get a fix? I...

    Boat Lift Specs

    Will an 11,000 lb. lift hold a 2520xl? Does anybody know how far apart the rails should be on the lift? Any comments would be appreciated. Scott

    Rinsing off outboard engine

    What is the consensus on removing the cowling and rinsing off outboard engines after each use? Can you use saltaway? Is there a difference between rinsing 2 stroke and 4 stroke? I used to rinse my 2 stroke off after every use with fresh water. It never seemed to hurt anything. I am a little...

    fuel gauge problem

    The fuel gauge on my 2520xl stopped reading. It just blinks on the lowest bar even though I have filled the tank twice since this has happened. I removed the sending unit and it wasn't stuck and seemed to be working correctly. Is there anything else I should look for or could it be the sending...

    Launching Advice

    When launching my 2520xl I usually unhook the winch cable and back the boat in until it gently slides off the trailer. Recently I used a steeper ramp and had the boat slide off of the trailer prematurely. Fortunately, there was only minor damage, but I really don't want a reoccurrence of that...

    Official Member of Parker Nation

    Well, after over a year of research and looking for the perfect boat, I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago. The boat has been getting a ton of looks and compliments. There aren't a whole lot of Parker PH in South Florida that I have seen. I tested her on maiden voyage, 3-5 ft. seas with an...

    Questions about a Parker 2520

    I am seriously considering a 2004 Parker 2520 with a 4 stroke 225 Yamaha(not sure how many hours or if under warranty). It appears to be in good shape(not excellent) and has average electronics. Has a live baitwell, but no other major options. My questions are: 1. Ideas on what it is worth...
