    Vancouver

    I'm a long way from my NC home here in Vancouver, BC. I did see a twin to my 2120 here today.

    Hello from Havelock NC, I have a 1995 Parker 2520 with a Volvo Penta Turbo Diesel, love the boat.

    Me, too. Are you on a lift or do you have to go to a ramp?

    I have a 2120 and I'm just across the creek from you on the Craven Co. side. Maybe we'll pass each other some day.

    Got my boat back today and it runs great. Mechanic basically cleaned out the fuel system on the engine, replaced filter screens at injectors, and worked on the high pressure pump. Although, with gas prices what they are I might not run it a whole lot this summer.

    Got the boat on a trailer today and delivered it to a mechanic. Had to idle it 4 miles down the creek to a ramp. Would run OK at 1000 rpm but start missing at 1100 rpm. I hope it*s an easy fix.

    Guy at church I sold my old boat to recommended a mechanic to me. I'm going to leave it to a pro at this point. It's not at all like working on a Chevy V8.

    Took the VST off again today to make sure I didn't bung up the float. Replaced the fuel bulb, the old one must have a bad check vakve, and got it to run. Still won't rev up above an idle. Time to get it to a professional.

    I figured if this didn't fix it I would idle it 3 miles down the creek to a boat ramp and take it to a mechanic. Now it's on a lift and won't start. Might see if a mechanic can come to it. Psyching myself up to pull the VST off again today and see what I can do.

    So, I messed with the neutral safety switch. Put it in reverse and it bent the metal tab backwards. Took it off and bent it back. Checked it with an ohm meter and it works. Didn't make any difference in how it runs. Tore into the VST and put in new filter. Started fine and I revved it to...

    I run non ethanol gas, and put new plugs in while I was changing filters. I'll check the neutral safety switch.

    Second helm with Seastar DS Throttle Unit

    I started a year ago and got too busy to work on it. Just recently got the steering hooked up for the second station. Cables are next.

    I attached a 5 gal fuel tank to bypass the existing fuel system and it didn't make any difference. Have the filter and I-ring gasket on order. If that doesn't fix it I guess it will have to come out of the water and go to a mechanic.

    Second station rigging problems

    I have the DS units and cables for throttle and shifting. Just need the time to mess with them.

    Second station rigging problems

    The old Seastar helm looks like NPT on the helm, but the other end of the fittings are the same as the new Uflex helm.

    I've been testing the engine on the water, so that's not the problem. I'll study up on the VST.
