Did you sell this boat?

I have a Parker 1801 and my speakers are rusting. I want to buy replacements, but no sure of the standard size of them they are. The boat is in storage, so I don't want to rip it open yet. Can anyone help me out tell what size they are so I can order the right ones now?

I have a 2005 Parker 18 and the steering wheel sounds like its grinding metal when I turn the wheel. Anyone have a similar experience or advice what to do?

This is the first boat I've owned, a 18 Parker. I love but I noticed there is a small crack in the deck. Can I paint it and if so should I remove the console? Should I gelcoat it? Looking for any advice here. Thanks

I have a Garmin Echo DV and it works except it sporatically jumps to the home menu. How do you check it out to see if its the head unit or the transponder? If anyone has any idea please let me know what I can try.

This is the first boat I ever owned, so this may be stupid question. I did not get a stern light with my 1801 parker. Are they all standard or do I have to contact Parker for a new one?

the cam seems to work fine. It looks like its just short of grabbing the inside lip.

Here is the top latch

Here is the inside latch that seems to be the problem

The front hatch where my anchor is on my 1801 does not stay shut. Do I need a whole new hatch or can you get the latch parts to replace it?

This is a dumb question, but I just bought my boat and its in storage. What is the diameter of the ss railings on an Parker 1801. I need to add fly rod holders and I have some blue water design fly rod holders. I can order clamps to hold them on the rails, but I don't know the diameter to order

I bought my first boat, a used Parker 1801, and the GPS is 10 years old. Its on the top of the console and I want to replace it. The problem is the mounting is different, so when I remove it, there will be holes where the old GPS and a GPS antena used to be. How do you fill those holes so it...

I just saw this. I just bought my new boat from Hampton Marine Center in E. Quogue. Fred and Liz run it and they are truly nice people. I would love to have been able to leave the my boat with them.

Thanks, I was lucky and was able to find a 2005, where the owner had it detailed every other week. Put a brand new engine on it, because the original one was out of warranty with only 125 hours. Took it out with my son for the first time and I am thrilled I'm from NJ, but my wife's uncle...

I just got my first boat. An 1801 Parker. Can't wait to get out on it.
