I found oil in my bilge and reached under to feel where it might be coming from. I had heard about the dreaded rust blisters that can form on the oil pan and found one. I'll do one more check to make sure the leak isn't from the dipstick gasket, but I could use some advice on how to pull the...

I wanted to share this if it helps anyone with bogging issues on their Parker.
I have a 1997 Parker 2520 with a 5.7 Volvo Penta and was having some sporadic bogging issues above 3300 rpms. I did all the usual tune up stuff, changed out the crab style distributor cap often as it's a known issue...

Looking for a replacement window. Mine is painted all black and hinged. Also would love to know if there are any boat salvage yards that dismantle Parkers.

I’m trying to get a sense if forum members would like to see a new section dedicated to inboards and I/O’s.
I know that Parker‘s with this configuration are fairly rare, but being the owner of one, it would be nice to ask very specific questions pertaining to our engines and boats. If you own...
