    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?

    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 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?

    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...

    Anchor weight for 2120

    Boat came with I think a 14lb claw anchor, thinking about replacing it with a delta anchor, I only have 10 or 15 ft of chains, wonder if a 22lb delta is too much for a 2120

    How long is a 2320 on trailer?

    Does anyone have the length of a 2320 measured from the tongue of the trailer to the end of the motor? I park my 2120 in front of the house and the trailer is good for a boat up to 24ft. Since my trailer is oversized, hoping a 2320 with the proper trailer will be similar in length. Trying to be...

    VHF antenna

    Yup, I did it, forgot to lower it and snapped 5 inches off the tip. It's a Shakespear 5101, on shakespear site, for a boat under 24ft they are saying a 3db gain like a 4 footer is more suitable but all of my boat 21-24 foot always had 8 footer and I've broke antenna every few years. Deciding...

    Quick video of a 2120 running from above

    I did this drone shot with the purpose to test out the Litchi app follow feature just for fun and to see how fast can i go before the drone can't keep up. Since it's of a parker, I thought some of you might be interested in seeing a parker from the sky while it's running. Towards the end I was...

    2120 custom livewell/cooler idea

    So I've been tossing up this idea to build a cooler/fishbox to go into the back of the 2120 similar to the new model but takes up less space. According to my calculation, it'll have almost 60g capacity. if I have it insulated it'll also serve as an icebox. This won't be cheap but this can be the...

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

    I have a profish 700 on my 2120. My anchor doesn't drop on its own whenever I release the windlass, it needs a little shove before it starts dropping. Quick reverse doesn't help either. Been thinking about adding another roller towards the back so that the anchor arm is elevated up when...

    Anyone with 2120 and a fresh water tank?

    Looking to add a fresh water system my boat. I believe Parker offered fresh water tank on the 2120 as well. Trying to figure out where the holding tank is and how everything is rigged up.

    Where is everyone mounting their Precision 9 or similar compass?

    I had the P9 installed on the starboard corner of the PH right behind the helm seat, magnetic interfererence was 13 which was acceptable. Realizing that it needs to be close to the center line of the boat, I relocated under the dash. Problem is the pump is only 2 feet away and all the other...

    Is a 6k trailer ball enough for a 2120?

    Long story short some MF stole my hitch I need to buy a replacement. I have a 6k capacity that's sitting around. is that ok for use with the 2120? I've been so comfortable towing with the larger heavy duty one that holding this 6k lb one feels so unsafe.

    dash getting full, would you combine AP into the MFD and get rid of the controller?

    On my 2120, I have a SIMRAD Go7 for radar and sonar on the dash a garmin 541s to one corner lower dash I have a 10" tablet that I run navionics on and fusion radio below that along with all the little random stuff that makes the dash really busy. In its current state my dash looks like a West...

    Anyone using SIMRAD NAC 2/AP44?

    Getting ready to install an AP to the little 2120, I'm debating on if I'll be installing the AP44 since the Go7 can control it. Since I also have a radar, is there any additional feature the AP do with it? IE avoiding things detected by the radar and what not?

    Do you run the boat with the kicker in the down position?

    I have a fix bracket and a 9.9 Yamaha high thrust with no power tilt. Reach over to lower the motor can be pretty dangerous. Curious if I should just run the boat with the kicker in the down position?

    Any wisdom on reducing the pounding?

    I was out yesterday on a 3 hour rt 50 ish miles. Reports say it was 4 to 5ft at 14s which winds at 6 to 8 mph which all was to me great conditions. I have everything upgrades to keep the bow down and had no issues doing so. I think it's just me being inexperience with this boat. Me and the 3...

    Boat name decal to match parker's design?

    So playing around with a boat name design This is as close to it as I can get... Thinking about putting this on the side of the pilot house. I wasn't going to do it but naming the boat was a requirement for MMSI registration so I might as well. Thoughts?
