    Kicker Engine

    Get the kicker motor. I have a 15 HP 4-stroke Yamaha on my 2510, and it really helps to troll for flounder when the current is too slow. I have also used it during the week to troll for stripers, but seldom use it for stripers on crowded weekends because it is harder to change boat directions...

    Problem with tilt motor

    John and Parker 23, Thanks for the replies. Sorry that you could not find the problem, John. I have my boat on a lift and decided not to buy a trailer, so I was hoping I could fix it myself. I was thinking of buying a new replacement switch per Parker 23's suggestion, but the wire inside the...

    Problem with tilt motor

    I had a problem today on my 2000 Yamaha 225 OX 66. The trim would not go up from the operating handle at the helm (down was OK) but I could raise the motor from the control on the side of the motor. Any suggestions on where to start to check for electrical problems to the trim switch would be...

    Adding a windlass to a 2320?

    Thanks for the reply. I think I can shorten the circuit length, and I will follow your suggestion to use 6 gauge (marine tinned) wire. Tom

    Adding a windlass to a 2320?

    I decided to purchase and install a windlass on my 2510 MV Parker. I e-mailed the Parker factory, and Robin and the engineering department responded very promptly to let me know that Parker uses the Horizon 500 windlass. Then I decided to check this forum and found some great information...

    Gary, I saw the 25 Parker (Dynamic Dreamer) that was for sale at Marine Fabricators being towed towards Windmill Point today. Have you found a Parker yet? Tom

    Gary, "Your" Parker boat is still waiting at Marine Fabricators for you. I saw it there today as I passed by on the highway. It has twin 225 HP engines, so I am guessing it is the deep vee (21 degree) hull. Their toll free number is 1-800-535-9028 if you want to check out the boat. I think I get...

    Lets see some pics of your Parker

    OK, here is a picture of some nice Chesapeake Bay flounder caught last June near the "Cell" from my 2510 Parker pictured in the background. The larger flounder weighed 7 lb., 5 oz. and earned a Virgina citation for Larry Long. I am holding the 5 lb., 3 oz. fish caught by Matt Bruington. These...

    Gary, It was nice to talk to you at the Seminar and I'm glad you enjoyed the speakers. If you are thinking about getting a 2510 Parker with the modified 14 degree deadrise, I could give you a test ride on my 2000 model year with a 225 HP OX66 2-stroke if you can't get a test ride from...

    Zinc Trim Adjustment (bottom of cavitation plate)Replacement

    I think I found the right product now. It appears as if Permatex Threadlock in medium strength (Blue) is the way to go. Tom, the Riverwatcher

    Zinc Trim Adjustment (bottom of cavitation plate)Replacement

    What strength and type of Lock-Tite should I use on the bolt and nut when I replace the zinc trim adjustment anode under the cavitation plate. Do I use the marine epoxy or another type that will hold, but still allow future removal? I am not familiar with using Lock-tite and I don't want to use...

    Hello from Riverwatcher

    Hello from the Riverwatcher. I am located near the mouth of the Rappahannock River in Virginia, where I look to the south into the Rap and to the southeast into the Chesapeake Bay. I became a member of the Parker brotherhood when I got a new 2510 modified vee walkaround Parker in November 1999...
