    what factors affect rpm?

    I have a 2003 2120 sc with a 150 yamaha ox66 with 460 hours. With the exception of a few VST filter issues she runs great. My only concern is that at WOT I have only gotten her up to 4900 rpm (according to the yami gauge) I usually top out at about 28mph at this level. I have read that this...

    VST Filter... Am I the only one having trouble???

    I'm running a 2002 ox66 150 hp which I bought last year. Replaced the VST twice last year and will be doing it again after work tonight. I've put 148 hours on since buying the boat. (410 total hours) I've been using the Yamaha water separator ( 2 per season ) and replaced the filter element from...

    Tackle riggging - 2003 2120 sports cabin

    I have the same boat and bought a plastic 3 drawer storage bin from home depot for around $12. Each drawer holds 4 plano tackle boxes so I can sort tackle and organize it by tray and drawer. The whole thing fists right behind the helm seat and the bulkhead and is easy to access from just...

    water pump, any thoughts before I pull the boat???

    Ran the boat all day Sunday with no issues. Go down last night and within 50 yards from the slip the overheat alarm sounds. I realize that I'm not getting a drop from the telltale. Back at the slip I tried a little piece of wire inserted into the tube and also blew some air into it with no...

    Dock / Storage Fees

    My deal is going to be hard to beat. I keep my 21sc in my town marina on the Ct. side of Long Island Sound, with water, electricity, 24 hr security and a gas dock for $390 a season. The season runs from Apr to Nov. I live 4 minutes from the slip and the no wake zone is a little less than 100...

    Boat name removal

    I want to rename my parker but first must remove the previous owners work. Looks like it is just vinyl letters. I didn't try yet but it looks like I just find the edge and peeloff. Any tips from someone who has been there? Heat? Paint scraper? Also I changed the registration numbers and there is...

    23 Pilot vs 23 dv cc

    I spent 15 years in a center console and thought it was a great platform for fishing. I bought a parker 21sport cabin last year and after the first season have no regrets or second thoughts. I live in the Northeast and as such have a pretty short boating season. I can tell you I picked up...

    Boat lettering

    I thought I saw a post once about a sight member who did boat lettering in Parker font. Anyone know how to reach him?

    a thought about rocket launchers...

    good point about forward momentum launching a rod overboard. Also sorry to say I'm one of the maniacs who is causing the problem. Hopefully with a season under the belt it won't be an issue next year.

    I did think about that but I'm 6'2" and can reach.

    a thought about rocket launchers...

    I just finished my first season in my 2120 sc. Love the boat. My thought for a winter project is to reverse the rocket launcher so it is forward facing. With two guys casting lures in the back I had maybe a half dozen times where somebody snagged one of the rods in the launcher, usually during...

    putting your trailer on blocks

    I have a 2120 sc and will keep it on the trailer for the winter. Any pro or cons to blocking up the trailer. Seems like it would take a load off the springs and tires. Any downsides?. What do you guys with trailers do?

    trailer question

    I ended up getting a Karavan dual axle gavanized bunk w/ disc brakes rated for 4000 lbs. Probably pushing the load limit with the 2120 sc but I think to sit in the backyard over the winter it should be fne. Thanks for the input

    trailer question

    I'm looking for a trailer for my 2120 sc. I don't plan to use it for anything other than winter storage and to drop in and take out to start and end the season. Can anyone give an opinion on galvanized vs aluminum?

    VST FILter issues

    I am using the 10 micron yami filter and an ethanol treatment. Maybe it's time to switchover to the racor 2 micron. I'm glad Tom mentioned cleaning the filter because I forot to ask that question. I saved the 2 I've replaced and will try to switch one out next time. I thought I could reuse the...

    VST FILter issues

    I replaced the VST filter in April when she started to bog down when I hit a wake or a wave. Those of you who have had issues no the drill. Had to do it again last week after about 80 hours of use. The question that comes to mind is if this is going to be a regular part of my seasonal...
