I'm not familiar with 4-Stroke VST, but can you hook up a fuel pressure gauge to it like you can with 2-stroke? -- Tom

I just wanted to make sure you added gas back into the VST tank after draining - either by filling manually or by using the primer bulb. I've forgotten that step in the past and wondered why the engine wouldn't start. -- Tom

Did you add fuel back to the VST after you drained it? -- Tom

Great post - just think how much that would have cost at a shop! -- Tom

Yes, I believe there is a lip as there was a noticeable "thunk" when they were fully seated. -- Tom

I just replaced both prop and drive shaft seals this weekend - had picked up some fishing line around the prop at the end of last season and had milky oil last fall when changing it out. I didn't have the equipment to run the pressure test first, so assumed the prop shaft seals were the main...

I've been through this a few times on my '99 21DVCC. I'd recommend opening up the cracks a bit into the "V" shape with a dremel as Dale recommends, making sure that the exposed area is completely dry. You'd probably want to remove as much as the 5200 as possible beforehand. Next I would...

Can you tell us EXACTLY how you have this wired up? Which wires from GPS go to which wires on VHF and vice-versa? I believe it should be: VHF WHITE TO GPS ORANGE VHF BROWN TO GPS GREEN VHF YELLOW TO GPS YELLOW VHF GREEN TO GPS BLUE On HDS, go to Network -> NMEA0183 and make sure that...

Click "User Control Panel" on the top of the page. Click "Profile" on the left hand side. Make any changes you need, then click "Submit" on the bottom. -- Tom

Looks great - I'm curious what you used to clean all the mold off the sides of the hull and in the bilge, noticed my boat looks a lot like your "Before" pictures :) -- Tom

It all started eight years ago today - now 3700+ users and 97k posts later, still with the best signal to noise ratio on the internet :) Post up if you bought your new or used Parker based on the information you found on Classic Parker! -- Tom
