    How accurate is NADA pricing

    Bought our brand new 2005 in 2007 (2520SC) for about $52k, single F225. FYI...... Sounds like he is a bit high...... maybe not just on his price......

    Garmin gmr18

    I have the GMR18 on our boat. Get the wedge. I'll be retrofitting it this winter. On plane you need the wedge to get a reliable forward picture. If I slow down to about 20mph and plow with my tabs down the picture is great. Tabs up it will lose some targets on every second to fourth...

    New 2530 or a used 2830......need your poll

    Forgive me for being retarded, but you are making it sound like the 28' will cost you less, is that right? If so, 28', no question about it. The cost of fuel on the 28 vs. a 25 with twins will not be enough to give a second thought to.

    Missing Parker 34

    Jeezus, why don't they steal a more unique, low production, sitck-out-like-a-sore-thumb boat instead??? O, wait..... They won't be able to sell it and they also will barely be able to use it, any parker enthusiast will see that thing a mile away. Better check the Bahamas and Bermuda...

    drift fishing in mv vs dv

    Also a lot of people don't realise this but the outboard position makes a big difference in your drift. Our 2520 usually drifts straight as mentioned, but sometimes will turn 45 degrees or so to the drift depending on wind. The lower unit makes an effective rudder and by turning the motor...

    response from noaa...very high tides...the whole east coast

    For a week or 2 by me, it seemed like there were 2 tides whenever I looked, high and extra high. Water has been going out a bit more lately. I agree, we had a ton of easterly winds which helped hold the water in the bays, at least near us.

    Stuck Hatch

    Mine is stuck real good every spring, I just force it open. I also understand it's good to spray the gasket with wd40 or something similar if you plan on leaving it closed (like over the winter) for a long time. Yours is probably just stuck extra good since it's been closed so long...

    8 plait chain splice?????

    Yeah I could never splice looking at the instructions in books. Then way back in the day working in boat u/s as a teenager a guy showed me how to do a 3 line splice and watching him it was like duh, that's easy. The squiggly arrows do nothing for me......

    2000 Parker 2520 Custom Fly Bridge Controls

    I got news for you, that voyager-2 is $75,999 on sale..... The FLIR Navigator is between $7k and $9k. That video of the voyager 2 in action with the gyroscope stabilised images, etc, is really sice though, but I didn't pay $75k for the entire boat. Or my last 2 boats put together for that...

    LED H3 Bulb For Common Flood Lights

    I have a LED mast light on my 2520. It's a complete replacement with about 30 led's arranged facing outward around the edge of the round housing. Replaced the entire mast and light, using the factory perko base. For some reason I kept blowing out the rear bulb in my stock mast light...

    Puddle in pilot house 2320

    Have someone soak down the windows and hatches with a hose while you look for leaks inside. I just got done last week resealing my forward deck hatch that leaked like a sieve.

    Found out why my Bowmar hatch was leaking........

    Emailed Parker the photos and an engineer got back to me, basically just apologized and said that it should have been sealed around all 4 sides. I tried to work a free hat out of it for my troubles but I don't think they were amused..... :)

    GPS WIRE

    Is it a garmin? If so, what you cut sounds like the garmin link cable, which is actually a standard ethernet (computer networking) cable. The Garmin cables are meant to be cut at the end, and then a new connecto be crimped on. You should be OK splicing in the middle just try to keep the...

    Hatch Gasket ??

    Spray water on the topside while someone watches the hatch. If the water comes in between the interior trim ring and the hatch frame, it's leaking under the hatch. If it comes in inside the frame, in the window area, it's the gasket. I just had to rebed mine. See here...
