    Help with the Bimini Twist.

    I agree that I prefer the Bimini, but I am not sure how much I would call a spider hitch inferior. To the best of my recollection, I have never had one break on me, and I have used it alot over the past 25 years of canyon fishing. Certain rods that I used had guides that biminis would get...

    Help with the Bimini Twist.

    I do 27 twists. I'm not sure what you mean by upward pressure on the twists. Can you explain more what you are doing and I will try to help. Its more outward pressure than upward pressure. I do the twists, put loop over piling or something, then have someone walk down center of loop, pulling...

    Max H.P.

    I'm not a complete expert, but wouldn't exceeding the HP cause potential insurance issues? Also, even if your insurance company did not catch it, and still insured you, you could be held at a different level of blame if you were ever involved in an accident, even if not your fault. There have...

    Livewell

    I agree that I am not all too crazy about the factory livewell on my 23SE, so you may want to consider other options. Although not used as a livewell, mine is an awesome storage space for things that can get wet like sinkers, bumpers, drift socks, etc. I am glad I have it for that.

    Mold growing on gear stored inside console?

    I have 2 of those buckets of damp away dehumidifiers in my console. I have a 23SE. I dump the moister out once a week or so, and I just leave them in there all the time, even when running. Also I built a cedar floor out of 3/4' 1 by 3's that is in two pieces and that fits inside my console...

    Running Light Wiring

    I agree with Parkerman. My lights are also wired incorrectly. Although it really is not a problem. I have two setting - Navigation & Anchor. At Navigation, my bow (red & green) lights are on, as is the forward facing white light - only the forward, not all around. At Anchor, my bow (red &...

    21se vs. 23se

    I had the 21SE and now have the 23SE. Huge difference. Get the 23. I get the 23 into all the skinny water that I got the 21 into, and yes, I take it into 18 inch water with the motor tilted up a bit. I have even push poled it at times.

    16 degree deadrise vs 21 degree deadrise

    jerry- i have run my 23se for 4 years out of pt pleasant and my 21se for 5 years before that. I go out alot. I have found that any time that it is too rough for me, it is too rough for anything under 30 feet. I do alot of drift fishing (bottom fishing & livelining for stripers) and have...

    Think you're hard core? Check this guy out!

    Definitely don't stop the boat when tuna trolling. At least for as long as you can. Greatly increases the chances of multiple hook ups.

    Electrical help please

    It seems like almost every time I go down to my boat and turn on the batteries, I get no juice to anything other than the motor. I end up having to trip the breaker thats mounted in the back below the battery switch. Once I do that, everything is fine and comes on. I am at a complete loss as...

    Organized storage inside 23SE Center Cosnole?

    I made a cedar floor mat for inside my console. It is two pieces and is made out of cedar slats. Just keeps everything 3/4 inch off the floor and lets the air circulate to keep out the mildew. I also built a plywood box with lid that drops down in from the front console access. I put a...

    Freshwater washdown??

    Has anyone installed a freshwater washdown on their parker. I have the 23SE and was thinking about putting one in. I am contemplating a small tank, down under the aft hatch cover. Just something to wash things off with, not necessarily clean the boat with. Any suggesstions would be much...

    T-Top Fabricator

    I used a guy on Firehouse Road in Bricktown NJ to put the T-Top and leaning post on my previous 21Se. I cannot remember the name (Maybe Shore towers or Atlantic towers??) He did a nice job and I was very happy.

    Noise from the gear case question

    Thats an interesting point that top shot makes I just had my water pump replaced and now I am getting this occasionally when shifting. How would the water pump impact this, as it seems to be gear related?

    Should I really be turning 6000 RPMS?????

    Foggylink- Can you let me know the size of the quicksilver prop you put on, and are you happy with its performance. Thanks I'm pretty curious as to why I am only getting that performance with the factory spec'd motor and wheel. I had the same exact situation on my 21SE - could only get to...

    Should I really be turning 6000 RPMS?????

    Another member posted a question in the all parker boats page about 23SE performance. I have the 23SE with F-200 and factory black stainless prop. I have a T-top and it is bottom painted. Best RPMs I have ever gotten is 5200 if I trip it way up. Typically I only get 5000. At 5200 I am...

    23SE Questions

    I have a 23SE with a 200HP Yamaha fourstroke. Boat and motor are 2006. Prop is factory standard black stainless prop. I have a t-top with electronics box on my boat. It has bottom paint. I get close to , but definitely not as goos as the Yamaha performance bulletin. However, I am happy...
