89 2520, 2021 SUZUKI 300 FBW I am trying to see if there is a way to add power steering to my boat. I have severely challenged shoulders from .mil injuries, one replaced and on overdue. Even the replacement shoulder only gives me about 50% of what I ought to have and the other shoulders just...

Ran into a water in fuel situation with the Parker, Water in fuel alarm on the Suzuki SMIS gauge. Sure enough when I pulled the filter it was full of water. The filter under the cowling had a about 3-4 tablespoons of water in it. Drained the filter into a mason jar about an inch of gas at the...

What would one reasonably expect to pay for a 300 hour service and impeller replace on a 2022 DF 300?

Time to paint the deck of my 2520. Scouring the interwebs I see different options, some pricey with average reviews, some woth excellent reviews. Even saw one guy who blogs about these things say save your $$$ and go with KILZ textured deck paint. Ideas? Experiences? I plan on replacing the...

I have a 1989 Parker 2520 MV paired with a 2021 Suzuki 300. Was wondering what others with this combo get performance wise. I am getting 35mph at 2.1mpg @5000rpm with nearly full fuel tank, 5 adults and 2 pre teen boys, two big coolers loaded. Just me on board was 42mph at 2.1mpg(??) @5300 rpm...

Saw an ad for Sharrow Props the other day. Lots of big fuel burn, mpg, speed promises. Design looks intriguing. So, anyone with real world experience with them, first or second hand? Looks like nearly $5k for a prop.

Other than the Factory anyone jave a source for Parker decals? The decals on the side of the pilot house are missing both sides and the hull side decals have gotten a little faded. The 89 hull gelcoat still pops shiny like new, its been waxed every year. My daughter has a decal/vinyl printer and...

I have a 1989 25' pilot house MV. I have assumed from day one(have not owned her long) was a 2520. It was advertised by the previous owner as a 2520. But I do see some references to 89' Sou' Westers. Did Parker make both in 89? How do you tell the difference? Love my Parker but want to know...

My 2520 is holding water in the front. I understand this is fairly common. Some mention placing a bilge pump up front in the floor/sump between the port and stbd berths. Anyone care to chime in, have pics? I imagine adding a hatch there might make it a whole lot easier to access and check on...

Hey guys, About to dive into my first project. Turning the top of my custom Henriques tackle station in my cabin into a double bench. Anyone know the color or paint code ro match the late 80's thru 90's factory gel coat? I'll post pics when done. Thanks.

My new to me 2520 has a Captains chair station behind the helm. It has a large multi drawer tackle station where the passengers might sit. Previous owner was going to put a large pad on top of it for seating. I'm thinking I might want an elevated bench seat with back rest for that position with...
