    What subscriptions/services do you have related to your boat?

    I would be the same if BoatUS counts. As for my phone I have apps such as Buoycast, and Tides app that likely all of us have similar and I just have the bare bones(not premium). Once I get a few miles out they don't work without cell coverage. I have active captain for garmin but have not used...

    Fisher Boat covers

    Sixth seasons with my Fisher cover. First seven years I struggled with all types of tarps, supports, bunge, ropes, water bottles etc but the wind where I was storing the boat at the Jersey shore would shred them..I now store in a boatyard and can easily dof and don the cover by myself. Can also...

    Easy Boat Cover

    Great job, it works, economical and working as a team on the home-front as you are saving dollars..I did the same for several years but my problem was boat was an hour away and exposed to the wind. I came up with all kinds of methods to suspend and tie down multiple tarps with 2x4 supports...

    Repairing older windows (Pre 2003)

    I have a 2001 2520 with Wynne windows and did some work on my front port window last spring. Sounds like your windows might not be in great condition to replace parts - if you can perhaps go that route. I replaced the slider brackets and bases that screw into the front port window frame. I...

    Fisher Canvas Boat Cover - Parker 2820 - Near New

    I suffered for more than 10 years trying to get by each winter building PVC frames, 2x4's frames you name it. I would visit the boat at the Jersey shore every couple of weeks to check in on her and the tarp would be thrashed. I bought a Fisher cover 3 years ago and they are awesome. Not to...

    Bennett Tabs - Hydraulic vs Electric

    Thanks Tim. Posted on THT and received a response from the Tabman. I will look to get the Bennett (electric) Bolt in 24x9. Looking forward to installing and comparing the ride before/after which I am expecting will handle like a new boat. Thanks again! Larry

    Bennett Tabs - Hydraulic vs Electric

    Looking for a recommendation please on electric vs. hydraulic and any other suggestions from past tab experience. My boat is a 2000 2520 notched transom with 225 Yam Saltwater Series. I am overdue on purchasing tabs and fortunately for me, a Christmas present to myself this year. I understood...

    I gave my 18 year old OX66 a vinegar flush

    Had my lower unit off to replace the water pump and figured a good opportunity to do this vinegar rinse as Tim described. Typically replace the thermostats every other year but going forward after this, I should check every year. I was surprised how gunked with salt the t-stats were prior to the...

    GT51M-THP Installation

    I use to have a problem loosing a 'reading' when under speed with my transom mounted ducer. I have not 'lost' the bottom with this transducer or at least that I have noticed. It is mounted about 6-8 inches off the center line and horizontally level. It can still 'see' over the centerline with...

    GT51M-THP Installation

    I installed one of these transducers for my 2520 port side. The toughest for me was cutting the block at the correct angle. I did not quite have the correct saw therefore I requested where I purchased the unit to cut which they accommodated. I have a standard hatch opening on the 2520 which was...

    Fisher Cover, Finally.

    Wanted to share a pic of most recent purchase (Fisher cover) and a sample of my typical tarp over the years. Picked it up last Wednesday and applied it this past Saturday. I have been eyeing these Fisher covers for as long as I have had my Parker (7-8 years). Good problems to have, but each year...

    Garmin GT51M-TH transducer

    Thank you for the link. Hope to receive the transducer tomorrow or Thursday. The bandsaw looks to be the best method however I have access to a radial arm saw and have a chop saw which will not provide a sure cut. I have one shot at it so will look to track down access to a bandsaw. Thanks...
