    Looking for a simple radar

    I currently have a GPS that works great for depth and navigation. I would like something simple that would help track other vessels close to me in fog and at night. Very rarely go out far. Any recommendations? I have a 2120 SC Thanks, Steve

    Saltwater Series vs Saltwater Series 2?

    Tried a friends Saltwater Series 15 1/4 X 17 SS and really loved the way it handles my 2120. Went to check out prices on the web and I see a Saltwater Series and a Saltwater Series 2. They seem to have the same specs and benefits. Anyone know what the difference is? Thanks. Steve

    Best Choice of Radar for a 2120?

    To All, I realize this is about as generic a question as "what's the best concealed carry firearm?", but I thought I'd give it a try. I make short trips of 6 or 7 miles at most - long trips are rare. Mostly in and out of harbors along the coast of Maine. We get a lot of fog and obvious...

    Battery Integrator Question

    I'm thinking of purchasing a Newmar battery integrator. Has anyone installed one of these and/or would you recommend a different brand? Thanks. Itguy

    Speedo hole in 200HP 4-stroke Yammi

    Where exactly is the little hole on this motor that is used to show the boat speed? My gauge shows "0" so I'm sure it is clogged. But I can't find it. Thanks. Itguy

    Rod Holder Question

    I'm away from my boat right now and wondered if the built-in rod holders on the gunnels are open at the bottom, or do they have a wire attached to keep the rod from going too deep? Thanks. Itguy

    Changing Prop on 2120 SC

    I will be changing the prop on my 2120 SC with 200 HP 4-stroke. Do I need to do some sort of dry dock, or is it pretty easy to do in the water with the engine tilted up? Also, any special tools or torque required? I will be changing out one Yamaha prop for another Yamaha prop. Thanks. Itguy

    Rough Water in a 2120 SC

    I have read quite a few threads that suggest my 2120 SC (along with other Parkers) "can handle anything you throw at it". Is this really true? Can you really run it into rough seas that yield a resounding "slam, slam" and feel confident the hull can take it? Assuming for the moment comfort...

    Aluminum Window Frames

    I have noticed some - I guess I would describe it as heavy oxidation - on the inside window frames of the two forward main cabin windows. What are your recommendations for smoothing out the aluminum again? They've got small bumps, which I assume is from the aluminum oxidizing. Thanks. Itguy

    Deep V vs Mod V

    This is probably a stupid question, but I'm a new owner of a Parker and am still learining! I'm reading alot of posts relating to a Deep V as compared to a Mod V. I'm pretty sure I know what that means, but do all Parkers come with that choice from the factory? For example, I have a 2005...

    Turns at high speed

    I have a 2120 SC with 200 HP Yammi 4-stroke. At slow speeds the wheel turns smoothly and easily. At hight speeds, esp WOT, it turns quite hard. This seems like it would be perfectly normal, since it is having to deal with engine thrust, etc., yet one would think "hydraulics are hydraulics"...

    RPM's for Properly Powered 2120SC with F200 4-stroke

    I haven't been able to find what RPM's to expect on a 2120SC with 200 HP 4-stroke. Does anyone know what I should expect, or is there a way to find this on Parker's web site? Thanks. Itguy

    Power Trim Issue

    I have a 2005 2120sc with Yammi 200HP 4-stroke. Every now and then, while lowering the engine from full upright stowage it stops about half way down the reduced speed travel (the fast speed lowering always works). It still continues to make noise, but the engine doesn't lower any further. I...

    Rode Chain

    I'm new to a 2005 2120 SC. It came without a chain connected to the rode. What do you guys recommend for length and diameter for a chain? I have the pulpit installed, and the anchor hangs down inside the pulpit. Thanks. Itguy

    Problem Valve at Fuel Tank Elbow

    My 2120 apparently has a problem with the valve attached to the elbow that connects to the fuel tank (next to the sending unit). After first replacing the fuel hose bulb and then the filter, the folks at Parker think it must be the valve since neither of the above solved the problem of the bulb...
