    Cover for Parker 2320

    I bought a pre-fab cover for my 2320SL from boatcoversdirect.com 5 years ago. They sell Carver covers. Back then you had a couple of levels of quality and I opted for the mid range cover for 700 bucks. I was considering replacing my 5 year old cover recently and went back on that site and...

    Fuel economy

    Those are all reassuring posts, thanks to everyone for your input.. Guess I’ll just have to look at my motor height/ and learn how to trim better!

    Fuel economy

    Ha ha yes Tanner Bank has been going off. My next door neighbor is a commercial fisherman and has been getting some big BFs out there. Might think about getting out there myself!

    Fuel economy

    Usually run the boat with just 2 guys. Big open deck- we have no bait well. 135 gallons of gas. No tuna tower, no extra fuel tanks. Just bizarre to get less than 2mpg

    Fuel economy

    That all makes good sense. Thanks for all the advice.. Parker boats are on the heavier end for boats of that length. I don’t know which holes our motor is mounted to on the Armstrong bracket but I’ll check. I just was trying to figure out if our core was waterlogged or there was some other...

    Fuel economy

    I use both the GPS and the engine gauge and get pretty close to the same reading on both. Our max speed is about 30mph. But switching from a smaller, older 3 blade prop to a bigger 4 blade stainless steel prop did nothing for our fuel economy. It’s always 1.8-2mpg at the most. And this is with...

    Fuel economy

    Hey Brent, our motor is mounted to the Armstrong bracket out back, we have a new 4 blade stainless steel prop. We do have trim tabs as well. Lemcos I believe. We are running usually against ocean swell but even when we are on a dead flat calm surface in the Lee of the islands our fuel economy...

    Fuel economy

    Greetings all! I have a 2008 2320SL powered with a Yamaha 250 outboard. The motor has 575 hours on it, and I bought the boat used. I am only getting like 1.8 mpg fuel economy and was wondering if other 2320SL owners are noticing similar numbers. I even swapped out the prop for a new 4 blade...

    Water leak in Pilot House

    Greetings All! I have a 2008 2320SL and have recently noticed a small amount of water coming in the cabin on the driver's side right under the gear lever box. It's causing the starboard side wall carpet to get a little wet after crossing our channel here in the Channel Islands area of Southern...

    Genuine Parker Parts

    Hello all, I am hoping some one can point me in the direction of where I can buy OEM replacement parts for my 2008 Parker 2320SL? Looks like I have some leaky window seals in my in the berthing area of my cabin and I could use some new pilot house door hardware.. Thanks in advance!

    Wanted: Navionics West Coast Card for Raymarine C80 classic

    Don't know much about those cards and compatibility.. The card that came with my C80 is a 512MB CF card, 16XG, version 2.19, USA-East. I would be stoked if that card you have will work in my C80!

    Onboard Battery Charger

    Howdy, I recently purchased a 2008 2320 SL.... My first boat, and I am slowly learning about the internals of the boat. This boat came with a Guest Onboard Battery Charger mounted near my two batteries in the bilge compartment and I have no idea how it works. Does this thing automatically...

    2008 Yamaha F250 4 stroke flushing procedure

    Yes, even though it just seems like I would get a more thorough flush from the muffs since this is the natural way sea water is drawn into the motor in the first place, I will have to just rely on the hose attachment on the power head and hope this does a sufficient enough fresh water flush. Too...

    2008 Yamaha F250 4 stroke flushing procedure

    I am trying to figure out the simple answer to proper flushing of my 2008 Yamaha F250 4 stroke outboard motor.. My owner's manual gives instructions on how to use the garden hose attachment to flush the power unit part of the motor, then directs me to page 48 for instructions on flushing the...

    Gel Coat damage...

    While waxing the boat today, I noticed that there is one small spot on the port side hull where the gel coat has been completely rubbed off all the way down to the fiberglass due to shipping straps rubbing the side of the boat while it was being shipped to us in California from North Carolina...

    Detailing question

    I see that I have much to learn in the boat detailing arena... After looking at the pictures of your hull in the Spring Commissioning thread, I was using that as the standard to be matched. I guess I thought I could transfer my car detailing expertise over to boats, but I am learning it is a...

    Detailing question

    I just went back and re-read Megabyte's "2014 Spring Commissioning" thread and I don't know why I didn't see the results on the hull that others saw with the Buff Magic Product. The only thing I can think of it that the Shur Hold Orbital buffer is just too wimpy to do the job... I really want...
