    How thick is the transom?

    I called parker and they gave it to me but I forgot the exact thickness. However, I know I bought 3 1/2" bolts for the install but I never got around to installing mine yet. If you're only installing transducer mount, why do you even need through bolt?

    6ft seas coming in pitch black yesterday and took a beating.

    Yup, thats what we deal with here in NorCal as well. I usually dont go out when its anything over 6ft unless its a looooong wave length.

    6ft seas coming in pitch black yesterday and took a beating.

    This is the one thing i dislike about the Parker. There is only seating for 3 inside the cabin. I asked him to come in and just squat on the cooler but he decided to sit outside. I have coolers mounted to both back walls of the pilot house with cushions which provides a sitting place. The boat...

    No, there was a guy outside the pilot house.

    automotive wiper arms?

    Since wiper arms are typically made of galvanized or stainless, wouldn't we be able to use any automative wiper arms with our boats? This would allow us to use off the shelf blades. Has anyone done this?

    6ft seas coming in pitch black yesterday and took a beating.

    Had four guys on my little 21 footer, coming in late evening when the winds and swells picked up. White caps everywhere but not once did I feel unsafe in this little boat. But man it was not comfortable at all, we are all beat up from this trip. There was nothing I could do to keep it from...

    is the gunnel rod holder strong enough to pull small crab hoops?

    Thankis, that's not a bad idea. I won't be pulling pots too often hence I don't want anything permanent. I have 6 pots and will probably pull them two to 3 times an outing and probably only go out a few days a month during the season. I don't see me using this more than 20 days a out of the year.

    is the gunnel rod holder strong enough to pull small crab hoops?

    Found this photo and thought it's a good idea. I don't want to drill holes on the deck of the boat. The hoops I'm pulling are only 14lbs even full of crabs I dont' think it'll be more than 30lbs of weight.

    How do you remove the pedestals?

    I didn't want to wait so went outside and bust that thing out. Using a painter's tool since it's stiffer than your typcal putty knife, a couple whack with a mallet revealed the bottom. There was a very thin bead of possibly 5200 or maybe 4200 about 1/16 to 1/8 inch around the base. I was able to...

    How do you remove the pedestals?

    i'm going to give it another try tomorrow if it's 5200 I'm going to leave it alone. Just templating for some EVA floorings. FWIW boat is an 05 with only 300 hours when I got it, the owner left everything factory so I doube he did anything to the pedestal. So however the factory installed it...

    How do you remove the pedestals?

    I unscrewd all screws from the base but the pedestal won't budge. Didn't want to force it risk taking a piece of the boat with it. Are there more to it or might be just sealant?

    Where are you mounting your Simrad Precision 9 heading sensor?

    My pump is located at the foot of the helm towards the storage on my 2120, the Precision 9 is under the dash on the side. I can never calibrate it properly although the magnetic interference is not exceeding the recommended value but very close to. Before I dump $900 into an HS60 I was hoping to...

    Will 8 people safely ride on a 2120?

    To all thanks for all the feedback. Gave me confident to take everyone out yesterday. This little 21 footer handled 4 adults and 4 kids very nicesly. Kids and myself were all in the cabin, 3 adults in the back. I had a full tank as well. I can definitely feel the weight. Nice and calm on the way...

    Will 8 people safely ride on a 2120?

    8ppl 1100 lbs, i know i wont be over but even with 4 bug guys and fishing gear its a challenge. My old boat says 11 people but i will never want to fit more than 6.

    Will 8 people safely ride on a 2120?

    I've never put so much load on the the parker or any boat. The most I've ever put on was 5 people and a cooler and some rods. Long story should, I want to hope over to a local island with 4 kids and 4 adults, between the age of 8 and 10 about a 7 mile trip each way all inside the bay. Not...

    Any idea on how to get the anchor to self launch?

    @Andy yes you did and I watch your video over and over to see what's missing then I realized it was my damn claw anchor. Don't forget I have a 2120 so the 14lb might be just right but it's never a bad thing to have a slightly heavier anchor. I think I'll return the 14lb and grab the 22lb. The...

    Anchor weight for 2120

    Unfortunately, it's a PITA to add chains since I have a windlass. I actually wanted a delta anchor in attempt to solve the issue with my anchor not launching on its own. https://www.classicparker.com/threads/any-idea-on-how-to-get-the-anchor-to-self-launch.21649/#post-148299

    Any idea on how to get the anchor to self launch?

    @Andy is your anchor a 22lb? I think I figured out why mine isn't dropping. I have a claw anchor and I think the way the arm is designed with a 90 degree bend, it doesn't give it the ability to just roll off. Just tested a 14lb Delta anchor and it almost want to drop. Thinking of jumping to a 22lb
