    Gel coat repair?

    You used to be able to buy Parker gelcoat from Cecil Marine, but I just checked and they do not have it at the moment (or I missed it). I've color matched, and it's OK...you can get really close, but the Parker stuff just blends right in. Either way, the fix is easy, and like others said, do...

    Rewiring my 2520 Pilothouse

    I'm very interested in your project as well. I rewired my batteries a few years back, but its time to completely redo the entire electric system. The previous owner used too many non-marine connections and its a birds nest behind the front panel. Was thinking of doing it over winter.

    Can't fill fuel tank on 2015 2520 XLD

    I emailed Parker last year to ask how much fuel is unusable and was told not to count on the last 10%. So, if the new Parker can't only be filled to 85-90%, that's 20-25% less usable fuel than listed capacity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2320 down in florida

    I have a Parker 2520 and use it in North Florida. In the winter the pilothouse is the place to be. In the summer the pilothouse is the place to be. It makes both really hot and really cold weather more comfortable. If you add things like heaters, fans or air conditioning it gets even better...

    New To Me 2008 Parker 2320 w/Yamaha F250

    Good idea! That may be a better option for me too. Those seats are expensive. I can get a coming pad for $90-100 and a cushion to fit my cooler for $100!

    is a 2520 xl enough boat to "safely" fish offshore

    I'm not a NE boater, so you'll probably want to wait for someone with experience in your area to chime in. I boat in the Gulf of Mexico and trust my 2520 to 100 miles out. I'm running twin 150's with a 179 gallon fuel tank. 100 miles out, ~20 miles between sites and 100 miles back in leaves...

    external gps antena

    The reason I asked about coordinates skipping around when stationary is because if they are pretty stable I doubt that is the issue. I would start with the the autopilot compass or autopilot settings before installing an external GPS antenna. My autopilot didn't drive as straight as I would...

    NJ Parker Dealer

    Dude, if I had an invoice like you, and they did this to me, I would sue them. That's why we have courts. They are still a good place for online Parker parts though. I hate having to call a dealer to buy parts, and Parker supports that racket to the bitter end instead of just selling me the...
