    Goodbye Classic Parker

    I have been a member here for a few years now but I am saying bye. I just sold my 2003 2520XL and will not be looking for another Parker. I just wanted to say I think this is a very good and helpful site and I have always found useful information on here. Parkers are outstanding built solid...

    Downloading WPs from Simrad Evo3 issues

    Has anyone encountered any issues exporting WPs to a Sim card? I am following the manual, have looked at youtube videos, called a local electronics guru and still can get the points to export. Any suggestions?

    Bracket paint ?

    I have cut the trolling motor bracket off my 2003 2520XL. I am looking for the paint code for the bracket. I have called Parker and have never received a return call. To answer the question before it is asked. I used the boat primarily for diving with an occasional fishing trip (maybe 3-4 a...

    Gas tank surprise today

    Doing my annual get the boat ready routine and found water in my separator. I decided to pull the sending unit and use a pump to get the water out of the tank. I was looking at the manufacturer tag and it said it was constructed out of .190 aluminum. I work with aluminum and have built 100s...

    2520 XL MV fuel tank depth

    The sending unit on the gas tank on my 2520 XL MV has quit working and I am wanting to replace. Does anyone know the depth of the tank (176 gals)? I not want to take the current SU out until I have the new one ready to go in. Don't want to take a chance on it not re-sealing and it leaking...

    Window and carpet ? on a 2520

    The window frames on my 2004 2520XL are in bad shape with a lot of corrosion issues. The corrosion has not pitted the metal yet but it is unsightly and I cannot get it to polish out. I am curious if it is possible or more importantly how difficult would it be to pull the frames out and remove...

    Garmin or Simrad

    Have to replace the electronics on my 2520. I am down to either the Garmin 942XS with the 9" screen or the Simrad NSS9 evo3. I am not interested in the down vu, sidescan and all of that. I just want the absolute best bottom pic I can get for under $3k. 99% of my boating is for diving and...

    G2 repower on a 2520 Parker?

    I have recently repowered with a G2 300 hp on my 04' 2520 Parker. I am having some issues getting it propped correctly. Has anyone else on here done a similar repower and if so what prop did you settle on? My previous power was a G1 250 and I ran a rebel 15 pitch. It gives great performance...

    AC unit for 2520XL

    I am thinking about adding an AC unit to the boat (2520XL) before next summer. Has anyone done this, if so what type of unit did you go with? How much of an issue was the install.

    Whats the secret with a Raymarine E80?

    My recent purchase of a Parker 2520 came with a Raymarine e80. I have found it to be the absolutely hardest nav unit I have ever tried to use. When navigating to a point when I get about 150-200' from the point it switches to a screen with no direction arrow. I am left trying to nav by...

    Bracket question

    I currently have a single engine bracket on my 2004 2520, but would really like to go with twins. Unless I can find a used one in good shape I am going to build the bracket myself, since the cost of an Armstrong dual engine bracket is $4500. My question, is Armstrong the only manufacturer of...

    Is there any way to transfer WPTs from a garmin 441 to a Raymarine e80 w/o having to enter each one individually? If there is does any one have link that would explain it in simple terms?

    Took a 2014 250hp etec off my proline which was coming apart and installed it on a Parker 2520. Having some issues getting a prop to give me the performance I am looking for. Is anyone else running a 250 etec on this hull, if so which prop have you found to work the best?

    New to Parker, question about loud engine noise

    After admiring Parker boats for years I finally bought one a few months back. The boat is the 2520XL with the full bracket model and be used almost exclusively as a private dive boat. When I purchased the boat it was equipped with a 2004 Yamaha 225 FS. I used it for a bit but have changed to...
