    Cockpit folding bench replacement

    Hi, I've had my Parker since 2017, the folding bench in the the back has split most of the seams and the material is quite worn. Any body know where we might be able to purchase replacement pads. The two pads appear to come up with just removing several screws. Thanks.

    Jack plate on a 2320

    Anyone have a jack plate on their 2320, any opinions? I think my motor is too low, throws up a lot of spray, but not sure if I want 1 or two holes up. Seems like the jack plate might give me all types of options, but before I drop the 700 or so on it, I wanted to see what experience are...

    Running at night

    Last night we decided to try to get a dusk bite on seabass which meant running home from catalina in the dark (about 32 miles). Not my favorite, but it's fine with radar and such. My question is how does everyone deal with the glare off their displays on the starboard front window. I turn the...

    Fly fishing so California from their parker

    Hey, I fly fish in fresh water and I've seen people fish salt water, the question I have is what weight do you use? My concern is I'm fly fishing for calicos and a yellow picks me up, I'd hate to get spooled as the line is much more expensive. My boat is in Dana Point, so I'll be fishing...

    On the water boat cover

    Hi, I am looking for suggestions on where to get a boat cover for my 2320 pilot house which I keep in the water all year. It needs to be light enough that I can remove and replace the cover myself. Any suggestions?

    Cleaning the decks

    Hey, normally I use boat soap to wash down my deck, but sometimes it doesn't get it done or takes a lot of scrubbing to get the blood up. My buddy recommended bleach, which makes the deck look awesome. Any downside to using bleach to clean the deck and gunnels? Dave

    Stuff I wish I knew

    New to boating, I've had my boat for about a year. So many things I've learned as a new boat owner, seems stupid now, but if you didn't know you didn't know. I don't want to admit what it was, but I've learned so much for my fellow boaters, and a lot from my mechanic who is driving a nice new...

    cellular security systems for boats

    Anyone have experience or recommendations on a security system via cellular to monitor a boat at a slip? Had some vandalism and I'm looking for suggestions. I have shore power on my boat, so powering it shouldn't be an issue. No wifi at the boat, so I'll need cellular of some type. Dave

    Kicker question

    I've been thinking about getting a kicker for my 2320 for a while, but other than the extra weight and a small amount of extra maintenance, are there any downsides to getting a 9.9HT kicker? The boat is a 2017 and has a 300 (with 284hrs on it). I do troll sometimes, but not exclusively.

    First Tuna

    Last year in late June I took possession of my new boat, a 2320. It took longer than expected to get everything installed and I was only able to make a few off shore trips. All resulted in fish, but those were dorado and yellowtail. ZERO TUNA last year for 4 or 5 trips. Yesterday I did my...

    Newish owner question

    Are we supposed to rotate the rode on our anchors each year? I know I do that with Spectra on my reels, someone suggested it is a good plan on rode. Thanks

    Olive Crest Fishing - Long Beach Yacht Club

    Yesterday I was in a fishing tournament for a charity called Olive Crest. Several of us put our boats in the water the night before and spent the night at the dock. It was great meeting other Parker owners, but really amazed me was of the 5 boats, every one had a completely different...

    Need Parker 2017 2320 Bench Seat

    So I made a mistake, and after today I figured out how big of a mistake. When I bought my boat, I thought I can't use of space in the cockpit by having something as silly as a bench seat. I went out with Brad today on his new Parker and damn if that isn't the best seat in the house. Anyone...

    Wipers on 2320

    Hi, I have a 2320 and find the wipers to be pretty poor. I've treated the windows with RainX, which helps, but the wipers don't go a great job. I'm forced to keep the window open to see, which in winter is not great. Any suggestions? The wipers I have are 6 months old. Dave

    First overnight trip

    I had been looking for a boat for a few years, always bouncing around with the type of boat I wanted. During the summer I would focus on center consoles to go tuna fishing, then I'd want a cabin for winter fishing. Back in March I purchased my 2320, my passion is seabass fishing, but I hate...

    Old Fuel in Orange County

    Hey, A buddy of mine has an older boat (not Parker, but we like him anyway) and he wasn't able to take it out for a couple of years while his wife dealt with an illness. He has about 80 gallons of fuel (gasoline), it was stablized, that is 3 years old. Does anyone know of a service that can...

    Protecting stainless

    When I pull my boat in and after the wash we wipe down the windows and stainless railings. Any recommendations on protection for the stainless, polish or coating or wax or something. I know, a real beginner question.

    Locks on Transom fish holds

    Hi, My 2320 comes with a nice fish hold in the transom, but I have a kill bag that we use on the swim step. Right now the transom area to hold various items, but I'd like to put a lock on those 4 doors and use it for non-water proof storage. Anyone do this yet? Suggestions on where to get a...
