    Broken Skeg

    Put a Skegguard on your skeg, and you won't have to worry about it in the future. They are generally less than 100$. Go to their website and order one to fit your engine. I have used them on my boats for years and saved many a skeg as I fish in shallow water that the bottom can be quite...

    I was fishing with grandkids for perch. We use ultra light rods and mini rattle traps as I enjoy fishing for sport more than for meat, although I won't turn down a fresh fish dinner. We were just fishing a shoreline around docks in shallow water when low and behold about a 5-6" flounder came...

    I haven't had the chance to get out as much this year as I would like, but haven't seen the Spanish yet nor tried for drum. I have mostly taken grandkids out to catch perch. In the process we have caught quite a few small spots and a baby flounder. Hope to be able to get out a bit more late...

    Good morning CobbFisherman! Welcome! I don't often post on this forum, but I own a Parker 2520 XL and am located on the lower Potomac, Virginia side. You are just up the river on the Maryland side. I love my Parker as it handles the big water you will sometimes find on the river as well as...

    Enthol vs non-enthol

    Hi all, I have been running ethanol fuel in my engines, Yami's and Evinrudes, for about 15 years with no problems. I religiously use Marine Stabil designed for ethanol gas: following the dosing instructions. Gas tank is still the original installed in a 2008 Parker 2520XL. Never had any...

    Batteries in the Bilge

    Hey 2801 Parker, I have a 2003 2520XL where the batteries have been in the bilge the entire life of the boat. I have experienced no problems with cable corrosion, batteries shorting etc. The boat always fires up with the first turn of the key. I have a two-stroke on the back of my boat, but...

    Rocket Launcher

    Quinn, I had a custom rod rack built for my 2008 2520XL and took off the original rod rack and launchers. I still have it and I believe it is the traditional 6 rod holders on a rail that was installed by Parker. It is in great shape. if you have any interest let me know. I would have to...

    Bye ETEC

    Hi all, It is indeed a shame. I did a great deal of homework before deciding to repower my 2520 Parker, replacing an older ETEC and settlted on the ETEC G2 300. From my perspective the best motor package on the market. I know others will debate this but that is what my research led me to...
