    First weekend out on the boat and put her to the test right

    I hit some 6' waves Sunday when a front came through. The wind was straight out of the north and the waves were huge for the Chesapeake Bay. Boating on the bay for 27 years I dont recall being out in many like this. I took a few over the pilot house but other than a slow ride home we were nice...

    Sealant for transducer wire

    I am replacing a broken transducer and the 1" hole and wire was sealed with caulk. I have a tube of life caulk from my front hatch re-seal job which does not leak anymore (thanks for the lead on the sealant guys). Should I use something more solid for this or life caulk would be ok? Thanks, Howard

    Re-seal front hatch

    My front hatch leaks, what would be good to re-seal it with? I plan on removing it, cleaning the fiberglass, cleaning the hatch frame, the re-sealing. Is 4200 too permanent? or just use silicone? Thanks, Howard

    Door Stop

    Is the door stop on Parker boats the Perko door stop? It is also the same as the bi-fold door going down below.

    Rust stains on Parker carpet

    Thinking about when I get out to clean up the boat. Even though Stainless bolts screws were used they still rusted some (is there a reason for that? Another topuc I know). Does barkeepers friend or CLR(or whatever iti is called) work on carpet?

    Trailering

    Anyone trailer a 2520 on a triple axle trailer? I was wondering the minimum size truck to make a one time trip.
