I want to run the wire to the outside motor of my lift under the water. Most lifts in the creek I'm in do it that way. I plan on using the grey flex hose and putting that inside grey 2" pvc conduit for extra protection - ie from power pro and a running redfish if someone is fishing under the...

Sometimes obstacles can be stepping stones... That's what my pastor said a couple of weekends ago. Hoping it is true. I put my 2520 on a new lift for the first time and got itr wrong by two inches and put the transducer between bunk and boat. Ouch! :oops: So it looked like the fairing block...

I am going to able to graduate from on the trailer by the house to keeping boat on lift at the dock. It is rated at 13,000 lbs. Should be OK.? What width should the bunks be set at and how long should they be? Boat is 2006 2520 with twin 150s. thanks Lift has stainless cables on drums at all...

I have 2520 with twin 150s and sea star power steering assist which is on the blink. replaced all visible connections by battery - some had corrosion and that fixed the problem for awhile. now it's out. I had a guy come look at the boat but he hasn't worked on this type of unit before - thinks...

I bought two parker 30 degree holders a couple of years ago and I want to put two more on the rails but I can'tfind the info on the dealership i got them from. I though it was in florida near P-cola but I have stuck out on google looking for them. When I searched this site I was able to find the...

dale might have said he uses lifecaulk I cant remember but what should be used when putting in the frame of the hatch (talking about the rear cockpit hatch to aft bilge)? The old stuff looks like silicone to me. Certainly 5200 would be "too" permanent. Is 4200 just as permanent? Lowes white...

need some advice on wiring of second bilge pump. This is an automaatic pump but it does not seem to be one of the ones that uses power "searching" for water every two minutes. I am planning on putting it on the same platform that the batteries sit on in the aft bilge. OK? Questions 1. can i wire...

Anyone have any tips or suggestions to working in the bilge on a 2520? I need to put in second bilge pump, high water alarm, bait well pump, and new switch for old pump. I'm not 21 anymore and I'm guessing it was a lot easier putting that stuff in with the floor removed. Has anyone modified the...

Only 2nd trip of the season for the boat. Ben, Dave, Lonnie and I left the dock a little after 0300 hrs. 160 lbs of ice and full tank fuel. Nice night sky and calm waters made for a smooth ride out to Edisto Banks. Lines in at sunup. Bunch of bites but we kept missing. I'm taking the blame on...

The owner of the Parker doing the rescuing may be on this site. If so, step forward and take a bow. Nice sun protection too. The video is a long one but some good Parker shots at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c48IWQ7vWEE Obviously long debates on multiple internet forums regarding...

Sunday 6/5/2011 Crew: Lonnie Morris, Richie Marchell, Jason, and myself We were going to go out on Sat for Papa Don's first trip of the year but the NE wind prediction made us change for Sunday. We left the dock at 3:30 and immediately noticed the ripples in the creek. Hmmm. Bumpy ride...

I have a 2nd pump (an automatic) to install - but would like advice from the board before I start drilling. Here's my plan: 1. install pump on same level surface as two batteries back aft in the hole - this is about two inches higher than the factory pump position 2. wire directly to one battery...

Took the family for a harbor cruise yesterday - the selector switch worked right after I launched but later in the trip all it would do is blink when I pushed it. The main controls were in neutral as were the aft controls. Any tips or ideas? Thanks.

it's been a topic on here b4 - the horns on parkers are no good - mine have realy died now - wondering if anybody has replaced them with a hailer - I know some VHFs will do fog horn patterns on hails so maybe it could be for communication and a horn???? thanks

This was the first trip trolling offshore for my new-to-me 2006 Parker 2520, the Papa Don. Lonnie, Eric, and Mitch were a great crew for many reasons - not the least of which was that they agreed to go at about 5 pm on friday. Thanks guys. I think it was the first trip for Eric and Mitch out of...

I know there was some discussion on this topic in the past - boat is 2520 DV with twin 150s, standard props, stnd trim tabs. Problem was prop spinning out/cavitating with high rpms while going downhill in 4-5 foot seas. Both engines did it - stbd twice, port once. Had to come down all the way on...

What do people carry tool-wise to take prop off while offshore? My engines are Yammies F 150s. Any pro tips? Thanks

I have a 2520 with the four standard rod holders and now thanks to members on this website have three more to install. I was planning on putting in one on each side about 30" forward of the one that is mid-cockpit. I have a third that I was thinking of putting in the middle piece of starboard...

like the gas/oil commercials about how green they are - wiping out the fish in the ocean one menhaden school at a time... "Everything is fine here." Especially liked the part about them "voluntarily" not working on weekends and holidays so as not to enrage, I mean interfere with recreational...

I'm going to be down in Miami for a meeting and was looking for any ideas for getting out on the water March 5th (fri) or 6th? Thanks
