My Parker is a '97 2310 and while working on it, as usual, I noticed that on the port side bow the rub rail looks like it's separating underneath. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it? You can see that it's tight towards aft but something is going on up front! Any help is greatly...

I've had my 2310 for 24 years and a while back I swapped out my OX66 225 HP for an F250 and while helping me out with installing some electronic upgrades my buddy noticed that the anti-ventilation plate was above the keel and I am wondering if the motor is installed at the correct height. We...

My buddy and I just finished upgrading ALL the wiring and electronics on my '97 2310 and went with Simrad equipment and their EVO 3S MFD. I also got their NAC 2 autopilot w/ pump 2 and it's amazing, it's just a Precision 9 compass and one small controller and no rudder feedback needed, that...

I have an F250 and need to change out my serp belt. My buddy and I were working on my 2310 when a neighbor had a dock call from our local Yam dealer and I got to talking with the tech and he said that the bolt needs to be tightened to about 200 ft lbs and he has to use a cheater. I have seen a...

Hi, after 23 years with my 97 2310 we are upgrading and fixing many items that need attention and I wanted to see how the stock fuel level sender would connect to this 6Y8 pigtail that is from the back of the gauge. I may even have to install a new sender and if anyone knows if a Moeller or...

Hi, I have owned my 97 2310 for 23 years and right now a buddy and I are gutting the wiring and putting new panels in and upgrading the electronics. I have an opportunity to get a free Garmin GPSMAP 7212 but not sure what I would need to go along with it, like a transducer and so forth. I was...

Hey, the black 'post' that holds my windscreen secure on my '97 2310 has finally broken, it is the vertical black pole in the picture, and I am not sure if it is like a Perko Part I can get anywhere or has to be ordered through Parker. Also, would appreciate it if you can provide me with the...

I was just flipping channels and BAM, saw a Parker cruise across the screen and then wondered if he was a member and well, here you are! Hi Mike, I have a 2310 and I really do not see many '10''s out there, a lot of guys like their cuddy's on their 20's, so I know it is late but congratulations...

DOH!!! Of course, now it makes sense........I feel like an idiot, I read the too quickly and thought it was West Marine. Yeah, I bought my new Yamaha 250 from them last year....OK, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Hey, received an email from West marine advertising an all species fishing tournament they are sponsoring for Parker/Pursuit boat owners Sept. 17-19. Has anyone else heard anything about this at all? I plan on attending to meet other owners, even though there are absolutely no fish whatsoever...

In no way do I want to throw a monkey wrench into the plans here but my concern is the weather....The Weather Channel is predicting rain..... :cry: Not really a problem for the XX20's with their nice enclosed pilot houses and all but us with the XX10's may get a little wet, even with the...

I am just heard about this and am going to have to kick some things aside that weekend to get there! I am in Redondo Beach and have a 2310 all ready to go!!!! Also, I just installed 2 Seaspension pedestals so it will be a smooooooth ride now!!! Sean

I have read many threads on other sites, not all relating to outboards, but am convinced enough to use SeaFoam over RingFree. I resotre 30-40 year old 2 stroke scooters and have seen unbelievable results with SeaFoam with regards to carbon. I also used it on my OX66 and it worked like a charm...

When I bought my previous 40' sportfisher the name was "Dr. Sic" The previous owner was a dr that treated men who 'like' younger boys....... When I bought her I splashed mud over the transom to hide the name until I got her home to take the name off. How about this one: "Unsinkable II"

I was told that Parker is now placing a large stainless Clamshell over this vent to prevent water from getting into fuel cell. The open end is facing down and to the stern, sounds like a good idea.
