    2300 DV Dash Gasket

    Looking for some guidance, my 2018 2300 DV acrylic dash seal is failing and deteriorating I need to replace it. Have any of you upgraded this seal with better one than what came from the factory. If so which one? Thanks in advance for your advance.

    2300 DVCC STERN TIE DOWN

    I appreciate all the input, I am going to move my anchor point away from the main bunk that is tucked way under the hull. I will use the trailer as my primary support arm to get the the straps as vertical as I can to the stern lift points. Creating a straight as possible downward pull on the...

    2300 DVCC STERN TIE DOWN

    Great idea, that is exactly what I did in the anchor locker, I cut a swim noodle to the width of the anchor contacting the gel coat and it tightened it up very nicely with no metal to gel contact. As rseate stated, the gel coat will take a hit. I suppose I could try using a noodle that has a...

    2300 DVCC STERN TIE DOWN

    Thank you for the info, but I was never going to drill hole in the bracket. The boat does have big tabs and I won't be able to run a strap down the back of the transom to the trailer eyebolt. So I will have to figure out how to keep from marring the gelcoat with a strap over the stern gunnel...

    New 2300 DV CC Owner

    Poge thanks for the info, I have already put a new prop and jackplate on her. I gained almost 2 MPG by doing so, I am extremely happy with the performance. I have also floated her in just under 2' of water albeit moving slow but the boat did well, the JP helps with steering by maintaining...

    Good afternoon, So I got my new to me used 2018 2300 DVCC and I was curious to see how other Parker owners are securing the stern during trailering without destroying gelcoat or rubbing the paint off the bracket. I was considering putting eye bolts in the bracket to tie off too however, I want...

    Proper Cruising RPM's Please

    Good Chance, I just got a 2018 2300 DV with the 300, I however don't even come close to the numbers you have seen. I have been out twice since I brought her home from SC. First trip 1.9 MPG second trip after installing a ATLAS JP 1.56 MPG. Now the second trip was offshore in 1-2' Occasionally...

    Center Bunk Height on Loadrite Trailer - 2017 2300 DV

    Parker got back with me but did not answer my question, they gave me a CAD drawing showing the length and offset of the primary bunks not the forward ones. Bottom line the forward bunks need to carry some load if not then the entire forward load past the primary bunks is only resting on the...

    New 2300 DV CC Owner

    I recently purchased a 2018 2300 DV CC from South Carolina and I am extremely happy with her. The previous owner added more aftermarket items to her than I could in several years. I joined this site to hear about and learn from everyone's specific knowledge base of the Parker brand. Thank you...

    Center Bunk Height on Loadrite Trailer - 2017 2300 DV

    I have the same question, I just purchased a 2018 2300DV with the same setup you have described. I just sent Parker an email asking them the same question, when they respond I will respond to you so we both can have the correct info. Eric
