    HELP Cabin Carpet Removal

    Hi Lou, I guess it kind of depends on how much of your boat you are planning to do, and is it a 2320, 2520....? The difficult areas to do and come out looking professional and clean are the areas that require a seam. The cabin area is pretty straight forward, because the way I did it there are...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    Sorry, I cant remember the name of the seat. When I ordered those Bentley seats, I was on the phone talking to the salesman. I was kind of telling what I was looking for and the dimensions. He told me that they had just designed a new seat and it sounded like what I was after. He sent me email...

    Helm Seat Upgrades?

    I have a 2005 2820 that I am just wrapping up a 4 year rebuild. I gutted my cabin and bought new inboard facing seat bases from Parker, then I made 2 forward facing bases with built in tackle lockers that are contoured to fit against the Parker base. I used Smooth Moves seat bases, and Bently...

    Suspension seat ideas?

    I have a 2820 with a very similar situation. I used a seat base called smooth moves. The nice part about the smooth moves base is its adjustable for the person's weight, it has a height adjustment, it can adjust forward and back, and can even turn.

    Fuel consumption

    I have a 2005 2820 Deep V with twin Yamaha 250 4 stroke motors. I would be stoked to get anywhere close to the milage you guys are reporting. On a good day I get 1.1 and sometimes with a full fuel tank and full bait tank, I get about 0.9 I cant afford to use it much anymore.

    Console dashboard - winter project

    Before I bought my 2820 I had an older Parker 23 center console. When I bought the boat it was missing the windshield. I built this out of 1/2" seafoam colored starboard. It sat down over the console top right into the molded groove for the windshield. I used the boat for quite a few years after...

    In hull transducer on an 1801

    I had a Parker 23 center console and installed an Airmar inhull transducer that came with the yellow tank. At first it was sporadic and I found out it was leaking. I sealed it up around the inside edge with 5200. After that, it worked great for the rest of the time I had the boat. I also had a...

    Positioning of thru hull transducer

    I had a 1KW ducer in my inhull unit. When I first installed it, my tank also leaked. I sealed it with a bead of 5200 all the way around the inside and outside. It stopped the leak and the unit is still working today. I know the guy that bought the boat and talk to him often. He loves that inhull...

    Positioning of thru hull transducer

    About 7 years ago I had a Parker 23 center console (before getting my 2820), I had the Airmar in hull ducer and really liked it. It gave very clear readings at high speeds.
