I found it pretty easy to clean the carpet. Get a garden pump sprayer, make a solution of oxy clean, bleach and water. Cover helm area with plastic and tape off to protect electronics. Soak carpet with with water, just soak it -not a mist or just a little wet, spray solution liberally on...

Ours were pitted when we bought the boat. Used this and they came out well. Keep in mind you can remove the anodized finish if you get to aggressive polishing or with the bronze wool. You will never be able to remove the pits, but this stuff has stopped any further pitting...

It will never be perfect if by yourself with wind blowing you off the dock and also depends on tie up points on dock. You could have a long line fixed to bow cleat or spring cleat and remainder laying in cockpit. We will call that spring line for this purpose. Stern line fixed to cleat...

We put a set on and worked as anticipated. You don't need to use trim tabs as much except to load balance if people move around. At first when you run the boat with the engine in your prior regular position you may notice some bow steer at higher speeds in calm water since the permatrim gives...

Have a fishing buddy stand in cockpit/bracket or Put four 5 gallon buckets of water(or sand) on bracket to simulate 125lbs-tie off to transom and take her for a ride

The XL models will have 4 seats in the cabin, closed transom and bifold door to enter vberth vs the SC with 2 seats in cabin and open access from pilot house to vberth. I have seen several parkers for sale that say "XL", but then you look at the pics and its really an SC. The D is for deep vee...

We had a 91 2520 MV sport cabin notched transom. Deadrise on the mod v back then was 14 degrees. We moved up to a 2520XL mod v with twins on a bracket that has a 16 degree deadrise. Totally different boat even though model is still considered a 2520 and mod v. A combination of...

I think something in the cabin or attached to the hardtop/cabin is vibrating at certain RPMs. Im not saying the engine is running rough or vibrating-being a brand new engine it is probably purring right along. But something is vibrating at just the right way to cause those harmonics. Sort of...

You can't get rid of the pitting but can prevent it from getting worse. Remember-the anodized finish protects the metal. If you get to aggressive you will remove the anodizing completely from the entire frame, which at first will look good but since the metal has no "built in" protection...

I awl gripped the deck, non skid and inside of hull on 2 of our parkers. I did have alot of experience using it so was comfortable with it and it came out great. Prep is key and other than actual application the external variables will impact final product. This includes obvious things like...

By design we ride more forward on a pilot house boat. There are compromises for this: Pros: Huge cockpit compared to other boats this size Stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter Stay dry- whether it is from rain or salt spray Con: You will feel the chop, bangs and...

Run on separate tank like John Mad said and see what that does. Primer bulb at times have caused us an issue. That is a cheap/easy trouble shoot/fix option too and ultimately should be changed at the age anyway. All our fuel lines have been replaced. Yours are definitely due for it as others...

I had some nail pops fixed two years ago at the dealer and have one more now. Believe it or not Parker did nail down the deck-not screw it and/or then remove the screws. We have a 2005 with original deck. I was very surprised myself when I learned this, but it is what it is and just need to...

It was very reasonable and we had some other pieces sent up-just dont quit remember the price. It was a long time ago. I want to say about $125 per side

I think you are talking about the shelves that run along the side of boat close to the deck we had a set made by these guys https://finaddictmarine.com/

We used ken at prop gods a while back and wound up with Mercury rev IV props. Big difference with stern lift, control when docking, held boat better into a chop, lower plan speed. Fuel burn was not a priority since we are not doing a lot of long runs. We have 05 yamaha 150s and in average to...

No problem what so ever. I have had 2 different simrad MFDs in the pilot house with no issues with GPS signal

Woody wax has a metal restorer/protection kit. I use the sealant in the pilot house since the metal in there has a tendency to pit/corrode more than the metal on the outside. I wipe the sealant onto the aluminum window frames, seat pedestals and aluminum on the seats twice a year and don't...

I would call simrad directly-they have helped me out in the past For telepone support please phone +1 800 628 4487 (USA) . You can also go to website and maybe find what your looking for Contact Simrad

One of the reasons we got this boat is the cabin and cabin door. No plastic eisenglass, canvas to flap around, roll up, snaps, velcro, zippers to break, leak and eventually have to replace the entire thing which is not a small cost. Stay perfectly dry inside when running if its snotty and...
