    2021 1801 build quality and accessories quality.

    I have a 21se…… The underwater lights are complete crap as well. Never worked right out the box. I upgraded it myself. But for $54k for a 2021 I am still way ahead everything I looked at was 15-20k more

    2021 1801 build quality and accessories quality.

    If you ask me the weak point of this boat is the accessories. Cheap b60 airmar transducer, Low quality stainless, and a livewell pump that constantly breaks and the underwater lights never worked from day 1 I also had a drain tube crack already my boat is only a 2021. I added an external...

    Question on scupper

    Screw that it’s a brand new boat 2021 now I will drive the hour and let the dealer do it plus address the under water lights that never worked. I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t warranty that?

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    You are right I don’t see a breaker anywhere. Most people don’t realiZe as well to also always charge their motor with the breaker tripped as to prevent a surge to the motherboard

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    Rhodan actually recommends to use your motor in gear if it is too rough and the motor will not hold. Minn kota has a setting called scale where you can adjust how aggressive your motor adjusts. It’s used for if your motor doesn’t have enough power to hold you against conditions.

    2021 Parker 2320 and Minn Kota Trolling motor installation.

    To your comment on the batteries, you can buy 3 interstate deep cycles group 27 for $300. Lithium’s are constantly coming down in price. You can get off brand Chinese lithiums for $1100. I opted for the pro install and went with the interstates. In reality all I save is about 100lbs of weight. I...

    Question on scupper

    Stupid question but one of the exit holes for the scuppers on my transom, I notice the lip to the brass broke so I have a brass o ring. It broke right at the lip. Can I just 4200 the lip back or is there a replacement part?

    Reduced Price of Lithium Batteries - Trolling Motor

    I think I am just going to pull the trigger. I can’t believe that for $1k can get lithium now

    underwater lights and cup holderlight

    Yes the macris lights can it’s just 4200 holding it. Plus at $200 a light at Hodges marines it’s a good deal. If you go on YouTube tons of high end boats with the macris

    Don't have a Parker yet, but looking

    All of the painted ones are junk like around the livewell and on the ruler on the gunnels. Also the screws holding the livewell lid on are junk. My batteries are under the jumó seat. Funny you mention the outside of the boat, the ring eyes in the stern have also rusted but I haven’t done...

    underwater lights and cup holderlight

    Those under water lights are junk. If you read any parker forum people complain about them. My own dealer said I don't understand why parker makes such a solid boat and puts that junk. Mine never worked from the dealer. Currently I am going to swap out the stock ones with Macris industries...

    Reduced Price of Lithium Batteries - Trolling Motor

    When I first got my trolling motor 2 years ago the price of lithiums for my 36v 112lb riptide terrova was $2K. I opted for 3 interstates at $100 a piece for $300 with a promise I would swap them out after 3 seasons. I also knew like anything else as they start to produce more the price will...

    Don't have a Parker yet, but looking

    I started boating about 5 years ago and was in a 17 montauk- boston whaler. I boat out of the north shore in Connecticut and spend most of my time chasing stripers, or bottom fishing for blackfish. I spend most of my time fishing 80% and when I do I like to push up on the flats and cast lures...
