Been thinking about getting a couple of bean bags for passenger seating on my 2520. Saw an ad for the Ocean Tamers and they look pretty good. They have round, tear drop, arm chair, and wedge. Wondering if anyone has any advice as to which style they prefer?

Bought some new inspection plates that look to be more water resistant than what I have. I think they are what Parker is now using. unfortunately, there is not enough meat left around the opening for the mounting screws to bite into on my deck. They are anywhere from $18 to $22 each but you can...

After several years of kicking screens and enduring the frustrations of my aging electronics, I finally pulled the trigger. Went with the NSS Evo3 12" screen, Halo 20+ radar, Airmar SS175M chirp transducer, AP44 autopilot. Couldn't be happier. The radar sees everything down to birds sitting on...

So I bought the small container of Parker gel coat and catalyst from Cecil Marine. I have a few small gel coat repairs to a fish hold hatch. According to the directions on the catalyst, I should use 12 drops per ounce of gel coat in my temperature range. After a day and a half, all the repairs...

What you have here are the side window screens, one port one starboard as well as the screen to fit the hatch over the v-berth. *Note* this is off a 1997 25 Deep Vee sport cabin. The size/style of the windows have probably changed since then. The side window screens measure 16 5/8" tall X 27...

Having lots of issues with the two inspection ports on my deck. I am very concerned about water entry into the fuel tank area since I have already had to replace the tank due to corrosion. Several years ago i replaced the standard pry off lid type for the Tempress style screw in with gasket...

The Rock2Rock paddleboard race from Catalina to the mainland is happening June 16th this year. Being an escort boat is a lot of fun and your paddleboarder pays your expenses. I am full but know another paddler who needs an escort. If you have an interest in doing this, please let me know and I...

Hello fellow Parker owners. I have had to replace my leaking diesel fuel tank on my 25' Parker four or five years ago. In the years since the repair, I have been having issues with the deck in the repaired area. Several of the screw heads holding the decking down have started to pop up beneath...

Just wanted to show off my first grandchild. Looking forward to many fun days on the water with her.

Seems like I always have to share my good fishing spots with those darn surfers lately! :D

Which is the largest boat show on the Eastern half of the US? I'm looking for a road trip.

Would love to get the ball rolling towards some kind of a West Coast Rendezvous. There seems to be some interest in doing a Marina Coral trip when the fish start biting this year. This is something I've wanted to do but would prefer to do it with a group....hopefully with some Marina Coral...

The stereo set up in my 2520 sounds fine in the pilot house. Now I would like to be able to enjoy my music while outside. I've narrowed the speaker placement to either low on the pilot house bulkhead wall facing aft, or small box speakers under the gunnels. I imagine the bulkhead mounting allows...

Well, I am embarrassed to admit that I don't know the proper way to drain out the contaminants at the bottom of my Racor filter bowl. I've never had to do it until now. When opening the little petcock at the bottom, nothing comes out and I assume I have to open a vent somewhere or take the cap...

My Brother in-law sent me these photos. I posted them on one of my other fishing sites and thought I'd share here too. Anyone do any swimming in Oklahoma?

First off, let me say I love my boat and hope no one reads this as "Parker Bashing". I discovered diesel fuel in my engine bilge and found that I had a leak in the aluminum tank of my '97 boat. After much research, I have found that foamed in fuel tanks are not the preferred way to install an...

Fish Southern California. The Parker is my 4th boat and is ideal for what I like to do. It is a '97 2520 DVSC with a Volvo diesel and duoprop. It's not a real fast boat, but how fast can you go in the waters off our coast anyway. Do a lot of trips to Catalina and San Clemente Island. Boat has...
