Custom created boot stripe in cardinal red and black I applied it myself,

That’s another fact as well. I would never buy a new Parker after Linwood sold the Parker business to venture capitalists and not industry fisherman minded individuals

The glass layers over the Top of your coring “plywood” have developed a common stress crack, I had this on my boat but not to this extent when I purchased my 2004 Parker back in 2017. I had it professionally repaired and regelcoated. You can fix this, you would have to grind the crack out, and...

In lieu of some of the concerning comments regarding the SEAVIEW products and failing powder coat on their aluminum mounts I took the liberty to personally call them before going through the hassle of mounting this system to my wheelhouse that I spent hundreds of hours building. I spoke to a...

That sounds about right! Enjoy retirement and I hope you get the boat you deserve. I hope I get there one day too

Inreach, epirb, 4-8ft dcs vhf icom, life raft debatable but probably a good idea. Buddy boats, radar, and a few good weather apps are what you would want. People do it all the time. Just gotta know when to head in and when it’s too rough. Most of the time getting out of the inlet is probably the...

10-20miles. I have been in the middle of feeds within 5 miles though

When it comes to it, if my motor ever blows up or reaches the point where the parts aren’t worth the effort I will most likely repower my hull with a 140-150hp. I prefer the 150hp as it’s a bigger block and more torque were I need it. I have set my boat up to be able to run offshore nearshore on...

Woodys wax or collinite. I have powder coated trolling motor steering box. Rinse it and keep it coated

We shall see. I see a lot of people with them. Stainless was deff more. Cost benefit for me. The radar was 2500 and the SEAVIEW another 300 so I tried to keep it reasonable

Finally received my radar dome bundle with xsv plotter. It will be mounted on SEAVIEW 5inxh forward learning mount. Completes the job and adds essential tool for offshore nearshore tuna trips this summer. Last things are eprib, plb and some odds and ends. Getting a nice vhf antenna to add...

I suppose it would, I don’t like to charge my batteries with it plugged in and sometimes I may forget to disconnect the plug since it hidden, in this case your charging the batteries with the unit on, which will cause the board to fail rather quickly. All it takes is a single time and it...

I have a breaker and no on off switch. Never had a problem. I turn it on when I want power and when done unplug my Rhodan and open the breaker. 5 years not one problem

Wear a good respirator when handling the cabosil, (fumed silica) it’s extremely fine and is horrible for your lungs. Also when you mix your epoxy, before you add your hadener mix in your cabosil. Then catalyze it You will want a a really still mixture that resembles a stiff peanut butter, you...

Anyone running a DF 150A BG Zuki with flyby wiring ? I was interested in the 140, but it’s not enough motor given the displacement is the same as the 115. I’d like a better cruise and more torque for when boat loaded down. The question is, the 150 is 529lbs, might as well buy the 200 since...

Yes bring it all the way up u will gain the extra mph 35-38 you will see a difference

Agreed, his prop slippage is high, 5800rpm 36-38mph is 10 percent slip which is ideal for performance. He’s either too low, has a larger shaft motor for his transom or is way overpropped. What year is the Parker and what is the shaft length on the leg. Make sure it’s not a 25 inch shaft on 20...

The Parker dealer mounts the AC plate level with keel which is standard for the boat industry, however every hull is different and the mod vee may like more height. I still believe the motor can come up another inch without reducing water pressure or increased cavitation. The bottom line. The AC...
