    Rod Holder Mounting Surface Gap

    So I ordered factory rod holders from Parker a few months ago and just got around to test mounting them. There is a less than a .125” gap and the mounting surfaces don’t lie flush. I was going to mount the two if the three screws on the plates and the last one until it’s flush but I’m concerned...

    Simrad NSS EVO3S not marking fish

    I have a question about my EVO3s and marking fish. I went fishing today and we caught a ton of white fish, but none of them necessarily showed up on the down scan and sonar at 150+ ft. I had gps spots marked from previous trip and we’re drifting. I had the fish beep on and yet no beeps. Even a...

    Slight Fuel Smell 2022 2320

    Hey all! I was walking around my boat the other day and noticed a slight fuel smell on the outside on the port side of the boat. It’s a little stronger than what I’d expect from a vent, but it’s seems to be coming from the vent when I smelt it. Is this normal? Seems an obvious yes but I never...

    Fuel Gauge Intermittent 19% to 0%

    Hey all! I was coming in back from a great day on my 2022 2320, and noticed my fuel gauge on the Yamaha command link going from 19%, which is what was in the tank, to 0% a few times. It seem like an intermittent electrical issue from the sender. It was a pretty rough day out there it was...

    Simrad 20+ Halo Mounting Options

    Yamaha Command Line NEMA/MFD split

    Question about splitting the NEMA2000 command link. The current configuration has a connector coming out of the multi hub and an adapter to nema 2000 which plugs in to the back of the CL7 (I’m pretty sure the CL7 is what I have, but I don’t have the boat near me) If I unplug the NEMA 2000 from...

    Stern Savers vs Pads

    Hey All, I’m getting really close to mount my Simrad 3 in 1 Transducer. I’ve seen various types of sternsaver pads. After viewing comments here I’m very reluctant to drill the mount the transducer directly to the transom. There are three main mounting products listed below. I’ve heard good and...

    Antenna Mounting bracket support

    Hi all, I’m mounting a 8’ Shakespeare phase 3 on my 2320. I notice after I added the antenna that the roof has a little flex when the antenna moves back and forth. I used pretty large washers on the back side for more surface area. Should I add plate on the backside or get a shorter 4’ antenna...

    Simrad EVO3S won’t Zoom in/out on Radar

    Hello all, I have a Simrad EVO3s and I’m unable to zoom in or out when I’m on the radar screen. The closest distance ring is 1/2 NM. It doesn’t zoom in or out work using the “+ or -“ on the display window or using the wheel. I also tried to see if it would work on demo mode with no success.I...

    NSS 9 EVO3S Flush Mount clearance.

    I’m looking to purchase and flush mount a 9” NSS EVO3S in my 22’ 2320 right below the Yamaha Command Link. Does anyone have this set up? If so, how much room is there on each side of the unit. Simrad doesn’t have the outer dimensions of the flush mount kit online. Thanks!

    New Yamaha 300 condensation from exhaust.

    Hey all! I have a new Yamaha 300 on my 2320 with 8.5 hours on it. I noticed there is slight condensation coming out of the exhaust at idle. It’s not smoke and doesn’t smell like burnt oil. I shot a video and showed it to my dealer and a certified Yamaha dealer and they said it’s nothing to...

    2021 or new 2022 Parker Leadtimes

    Hi all! I’m getting really close to pull the trigger on a new 2022 2320. Does anyone know how long it’ll take delivery based on past experiences? Some folks tell me if I were to order the boat today it would take delivery at the end of fall, others say spring. I understand that Yamaha is very...

    2021 2302 Ride Quality

    Hey All! I keep hearing about Parker's having poor ride quality. Is it really that bad compared to other boats in the same class or a 23ft Striper (or similar)? The factory has the option of purchasing a Seaspension pedestal. Will this help with smoothening the ride IF it's truly rough? I'm...
