Thanks for the info.

I have a set of carbon fiber outriggers that the finish is peeling off. What would be the best option or product to refinish the coating?

Did not reset.

My 2005 2820 lost nav / anchor lights. I changed the bulbs and switch. Still no juice. Jumped the breaker poles with a scrap wire and got lights. Seems like the breaker is bad. Question: does this sound like a good diagnosis and if so, how do you remove the breaker. No room to turn the back of...

Until you find something better use tennis balls or racquet balls.works well for me.

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction. I have a 28 foot Parker with twin f225s on the back. The port engine is idling about 200 rpm lower that the starboard. It stalls at low speed especially in docking Maneuvers. It runs fine at 1100+ RPM. The other engine is fine. Where...

Thanks. I'll explore both suggestions.

My 28 Parker has 4s 225s. The fuel consumption on the guage reads significantly less than the actual use. For example, the guage was reading 130 gallons used and I poured in 160 gallons at the pump. I have this problem consitantly. The boat and engines have only about 300 hours. Has anyone had a...

If you feed it, it will grow. Gongrats. Mine were on the Chesapeake at about six months. I can't wait till they can crank a reel and even more important, use a buffer. :lol:

I tow from Northern VA to OBX with a F-350 diesel. I get about 9mpg. The capicity on the truck is 12500 lbs. I estimate about 12000 for the boat- motor-trailer, with full fuel and gear. The truck works hard. If I had it to do over I'm not sure I would make the same decision. That is a lot of...

My 2820 rides pretty well.

The tech at Parker recommended not thinning the gel at all. If it is rolled quickly after mixing, time seems to depend on the quantity mixed and amount of hardener, it should roll out fine, per Parker rep. I purchased several cheap sponge rollers at Home Depot for about 1.50 each and plan on...

Well after talking about it since I got the boat, I bit the bullet and removed the above deck livewell from my 2820. While it was a nice piece of equipment, I did not need it and wanted to have the deck space. Upon removal, we found one 10" or so oval hole and another 4" round hole to be dealt...

3m make a Pretty good caulk and silicone remover.

I have a 2820. The factory installed livewell and raw-water wash were on the same seacock. My well would also get water when using the washdown. At one point I was considering putting a valve on the hose from the livewell pump to solve this problem. I have since removed the livewell as I never...
