My boat is 10 years old and my cables are ready to be replaced. I have a 2000 2520SLD with twins. Have any of you replaced your cables ?? Any lessons learned or suggestions ? Looks like a poor design from the controls as the cables are making a really tight turn out to where they run under the...

I have a 2520 DVSC and am repowering with twin Yamaha 150's.....can anyone running a similar set-up comment on what props they are using ? Thanks !

I have 2000 2520 dvsc with twin yamaha 200's and just blew my starboard motor. I am considering all options and was wondering if anyone knew if its possible to repower with a big single using the existing Armstrong bracket ? Repower with twins is big $$ and for the boating I do, a single is...

Took my buddy and his family Striper fishing Sunday morning for a few hours. Was a slow bite with lots of boat traffic when we hooked a decent fish. I gave my buddy's little boy (about 7) the rod, but he was too small and bowed out...then mom grabs the rod and horse's in a nice 29lber. I...

I saw quite a few Parker's out there in the mid-bay dodging the traffic :lol: Any of you out there ? I was on the water by 6:15 and hoped to have at least an hour before the mayhem, but to no avail, the mayhem was already in full swing. Fished until 10:00 and managed to catch only 1 39 inch...

Splashed my boat today (2520), and on my shakedown cruise I realized my tabs (stock) were not working. I can hear the hydrolics pumping, but the tabs are not moving. Has anyone ever encountered this situation before ? Any and all troubleshoting advise is welcome. thanks Rich

At the Boat Show, the Parker rep said that fold down rear seats like you see on Pursuits and Gradys were becoming available as an accessory....price he quoted was $1200. Has anyone checked one of these out yet ? For $1200 I hope its really nice. I may take a ride down to Tri-State Marine this...

I want to upgrade the std 12x12 Lenco's on my 2520 XLDV this offseason. Was thinking of the Bennetts that everyone on here seems to love, but I suspect that it would be mush easier and cheaper to just upgrade the blade on the Lenco's.....has anyone tried upgrading the Lenco blades....am I...

I have twin 2000 Yamaha 200's on a 2520 ....both engines start and run great, however, if I run 4200 RPM's plus for any amount of time the alarm (solid tone) goes off on port engine. Not sure if the alarm is an over heat because the whole gauge is flashing (no Red). I shut the engine down for 5...

Anyone know the weight of a 2520 dvsc with a bracket ? I have read conflicting info (between 4300-5800lbs) and would like to know. Thanks, Rich

My wife has been after me to get a pick-up truck for some time, and now that I have bought my Parker (with trailer) I am definately seriously considering getting one that can satisfy my wife and safely tow my boat. Freinds of ours are selling a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD (tow rating 10K) that...

What Parker dealers, other than Tri-State Marine are in the Baltimore/DC area ? I had some issues at Tri-State with the service manager and will not be going back there again....Guy was a real jerk (although I think they do fine work) and I would rather give my parts/service business to someone...

How many of you guys we out on the bay this am trolling for trophy bass ? I did not fair too well, 1 keeper (38inch) and one short :roll: .......I could not believe the fargin boat traffic :!: Not sure how anyone could hope to hook a fish after 10am. Still, it was a great start to the...

Hi All - Wife wants to make sure we name this boat (2520 DVSC) versus just calling it "the boat" like our old Mako. I am leaning towards putting the letters on the side of the cabin, but am open to the side of the boat too. Any suggestions on placement and size of the letters would be most...

I have a 2000 2520, and the HW on the front pilothouse windows is in disrepair. Port window will not stay open at all, and both have corrosion on latches. ...window frames themselves are fine, Has anyone else changed these parts out and are the parts readily available from Parker ? Someone else...

Have been lurking for awhile, but since my Parker just got shipped up to me yesterday I thought it was time to officially join the family ;-). I bought a 2000 2520 Deep Vee Sport Cabin, with twin Yamaha 200's (pray gas prices go down), rear sunshade with spreader lights and rocket launchers...
