Hello all, I have Diamond Seaglaze front opening windows on my 2530. The windows are hinged at the top and open upward. I have a pretty good leak from the top of the port window. I assume I need to replace a gasket?? Has anyone experienced this. Is this a simple repair? Did a search on this...

I found it. His name is TomS on this board. Highly recommend him. Nice guy and great work! I am not sure if he is still in the business or not. His business name is Gas Money Graphics.

A few years a Classic Parker board member was known for making your boat name incorporated into the Parker lettering scheme. He did a nice job on my boat name. I have checked my records and I cannot find his contact information. Does anyone remember who it is that does this? He did nice work and...

Hi guys, Do you use Yamaha ring free and other additives? I have had an injector clog on my port motor. I had it replaced last week. The next trip it did it again. Probably caused by the crummy California fuels. I have researched and I found that guys swear by the Yamaha ring free. I am...

Great advice. Thank you guys. I am not against drilling into the transom, it's just that the flange on the lights does not giv much room for a set of adult screws. It would be easier to mount the lights to starboard and mount the starboard to the transom.

Hello all, I am looking to install a set of underwater lights on the transom of my 2530. Instead of screwing them on directly to the transom, I was thinking of using a piece of starboard and cutting it at an angle. This would allow me to get the lights to shine more down ward, not outward. It...

Thanks guys

Thanks, but i was referring to the white scum film that builds up on the shft of the engine. It seem like it may be scale or clacium????

What do you guys recommend to use to remove the white discoloration on the shaft of your outboard. Wax helped but not entirely.

What type of bottom paint do you all use? I want to leave the boat in the water for some of the year, but not all the time. Is there a type of paint that allows this? My understanding that the bottom paing becomes inactive if the boat is out of the water for a period of time. Is there a type of...

Hello all, Furuno 1715 radar currently in perfect working order on my 25' Parker. The unit works great. You can come and see it on my boat in Dana Point, Ca. FURUNO 1715 LCD RADAR 2.2KW 24 NM 18" DO1715 LCD Radar with 10 Meter Cable. Furuno's 1715 is a high contrast LCD radar designed for...

What are you guys using? At one point in time I came across one that was essentially a large shock absorber (I can't find it now). I am not sure it would work for my application as my seat sits on top of a cabinet. What do you guys use? Do they work and are they worth the investment?

Very informative post.....Thank you. I have two questions regarding grounding. 1. Should thru holes be grounded? I have three of them (washdown, intake and outflow for the bait tank) 2. Should the stainless steel tower be grounded to the boat. If yes to either, how is this done? Thank you in...

So I installed the Lewmar profish 700 (freefall) - To complete the anchor process, I upgraded to the 22# claw anchor. Now the anchor fits in too well. In other words, I need to kick the anchor off the pulpit (so much for the freefall feature of the windlass). I need to change out the bow...

I appreciate all of the suggestions, however, I need a knob for the tower and for the downstairs station. I am not down with buying two new wheels. It's just too much money. So, back to the original question. Any recommendations of the after market knobs?

Hello all, A while ago I purchased the Edson steering wheel knob from West Marine. I couldn't get it to cinch down far enough on the wheel (even with the smaller adapter). The stock steering wheel was simply too skinny. I ultimately returned it and got a refund. I have added a second station to...

Hello all, I have a 2530 Parker. The stock windlass (Horizon 500) has seen its last days. I am trying to decide which unit to replace it with. I fish Catalina quite a bit and use the winch quite a bit. I have a 22# Bruce anchor and 40' of chain. I am considering this unit. I would really...

Hello all, I am posting this for a friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Hello, I have a 2008 Parker XL. Can someone tell me the make and model # of the factory installed trim tabs? I believe they are Lenco. Can someone confirm this? The current trim tabs are...

Hello all, I am sure I am not the first to have to replace the mount for the underside of the helm seat. It's stripped and slides back. It's really quite annoying. I have taken a photo of the bottom for your reference. It's stamped REV-B. I wish I had measured the bolt pattern but I didn't. I...

Thank you. This is extremely helpful!
