    Stand off distance Center Console to Heln Bench, 2501 Cc

    New tackle station ready to install. The fiberglass tech sealed the previous holes and finished off deck leaving no alignment marks (not what was requested). What is the stand-off distance from the center back bottom edge of the console to the center forward edge of the bench base (which...

    Forward hatch, anchor locker access

    2018 Parker 2501, custom forward bow hatch. No way to get to running lights, windless power and bolts, etc., without. Newer models look like bow deck redone. There is a small top hatch to hold small anchor in place, but way too small for access.

    starting in on this, have belts, pulleys and bolts. Any info on pulling the flywheel? Couldn’t find video for these engines online, nothing on THT. I think need a specific tool. Thanks in advance.

Cuts fine with Bubba electric knife, used old cushions as template. Now will use old cushions as bilge...

    Replacing Large Helm Live Well with Tackle Station on a Parker 2501 CC

    The 2018 Parker 2501 CC has two live wells, a smaller one in the transom, and a much larger one incorporated into the helm bench seat. The smaller well is sufficient for my needs, and would prefer handy tackle access. I am saving the large live well for future sale. That is, I do not want to...

    Access under bow pulpit DV 2501 2019

    Boat is awesome. Question on forward access. Pics enclosed. Anchor locker much to small an opening to get arm into, preventing access to bow pulpit. Bolts forward for windless, etc. Put hatch forward under deck as shown?? Would need to beef up, fiberglass in supporting pieces. Hatch would need...

    Anchor locker bitter end connection point?

    2018 2501 Where located? Can not find any tie off point. Not much access. The Fluke anchor cutout opening is small (seems to be designed for 14#, which is a bit light for 5000# boat).

    Hull Designs and Mal de Debarquement Syndrome

    Google search and didn’t know that there is a name for it, get it though mild but uncomfortable and annoying feeling as one gets older. So far, and it is early to make a conclusion, dramatic difference in that post ‘still rocking’ feeling between my former Glacier Bay 26’ and Parker 2501 (25’...

    2018 Parker 2501 Survey

    Only one significant problem and have been told to run away by a very credible fiberglass technician. Damn, otherwise was all in. And spent $800 for survey. The forward left T-top leg was loose, that is, the screws were useless and leg lifts up 1/2”. Screws? not thru-bolted. I thought Parker...

    2018 Parker 2501with twin Yamahas 200 hp

    Ready to buy, sea trial next week. There’s 2300 hours on the engines, fairly incredible for its age and being up here in the Northeast. One has to work at putting 400 hours plus a year during our short season, and this is way up Northeast. No indication used as workboat or chartering. Clean...
