    Cracked Welds

    Correct, all Parker tops up until about a year ago were built by a company in SC. They have been moving production to a private shop (Hi-Speed Welding) in Wilmimgton, NC.

    Mine...mine...mine...

    Obviously it depends on the current & winds offshore but I’ve fished for 5.5 hours and still had 20% battery power left.

    I’ve been running a 36v Rhodan for two years now. I opted for the single 36v lithium battery instead of 3 12v lithium batteries and have been very happy with it so far

    Garmin Upgrade Questions

    *You don’t know 12V marine systems. *Its expensive electronics. *If you get it wrong, not only could you damage the boat itself but also your boat’s wiring system. *You could potentially leave yourself stranded at sea if you damage the wiring system and the damage presents itself while in use...

    Battery Charger

    Let’s try to simplify: I’m guessing you currently have 2 twelve volt batteries (1 for the engine, 1 for the house). The Perko switch is 1, 2, All. This lets you select between the 2 batteries. The Perko doesn’t separate the batteries like a BEP (the BEP is what you should install). For your...

    My first never ending boat list!

    Just did this on my boat this year. It’s not hard. Just make sure you also get a switch rated at 30 amps. No, the mounting screw pattern is not the same. The pump will blast the deck clean, great upgrade.

    2022 2300

    When I was speaking with Eric Denton in Parker’s technical department he stated exactly what Cman60 did. He said the 23DV was the boat “we just got right”. He said the length to beam ratio worked out perfect as well as the displacement of the hull. He said in his opinion it’s the best riding...

    EPIRB mounting

    I know it’s overkill but that’s why I have PLB’s attached to the 4 life jackets in my boat (never take any more than 4 out at one time when outside the inlet).

    What’s changed since correct craft bought Parker?

    Yes, I just spoke to him 2 weeks ago and had an email exchange with him last week.

    What’s changed since correct craft bought Parker?

    I was equally frustrated by their customer service while trying to resolve my transom void issue. I finally spoke with Eric Denton in their engineering department. He is “old school” Parker and really wants everyone to have a great experience with a Parker. I can’t get into details but even...

    2006 NC Wildlife Office Parker 21 Deep V Center Console - Need an extra key and a cover. Any suggestions?

    You may want to investigate off site RV storage options. I rented one and that’s where I keep my boat during the winter months. It’s covered, has a concrete floor, water & power, and an overhead work light. It’s a great place to work on your boat as well. I think I’m paying $185 a month

    Reupholster & New Cushions

    I got a quote today to reupholster the coming pads and the seat / backrest in front of my center console. Additionally, make 2 cushions to go on the bow area raised platforms on my 23DV. The quote was $3,000. Is it just me or does this seem excessive?
