Hi folks. Just bought used a 2006 Parker 2120 sport cabin 150 hp 4 stroke with trailer from a private party. Boat looks great and spent a lot less than through a dealer. Replaced the fuel water seperator with a Racor R320.
Have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with.
I think the transom has a wood core. Any concerns with water eventually getting to the wood from the screws holding the trim tabs. Was thinking of taking the tabs off and using a penetrating epoxy in the holes and refastening. Is this overkill?? Same for the deck fittings and hatches. Had problems with a previous boat where water from a poorly sealed access hatch caused delamination in a section of deck.
On previous boats also had problems keeping bottom paint on the trim tabs despite using metal primer. Any body have the tabs power coated and then botom paint??
The boat didn't have a pulpit so I am thinking about adding a roller mount like the west marine URM-2. I think it can extend far enough to keep the anchor flukes from the hull. Any thoughts.
Thanks rplas48
