Thanks for the info and tip on fixing the yamaha outboard trim tilt. I have a friend who is a Yamaha technical and he came over to look at the motor. He loosen the screw on the port side of the engine and the motor moved down. He also check the hydraulic fluid and it was good. He told me that I...

Both batteries are fully charged and that was the first thing I checked! but I thank you for your info. :lol:

My 1800cc 2stroke 115hp engine is stuck in the upright position. In the past I just had to put the battery power on both and the engine would go down but not this time. The motor that moves the engine down makes noise but the motor does not move down. I added marine grease to the upper zurke...

I do not know if this is going to be any help but I have the Navionics app (sonar) for the IPhone and it cost a total of $9.99 so I just sit on my couch and look at the ocean floor. I live in San Diego and mainly use to for bottom fishing. :D :roll:

Look under starboard side (right) about 2 a clock. It is easier to see if you lay on the deck and look up. :D

:D I like Interstate batteries but the marine batteries at CostCo only had a 6 month warranty but Walmart has a 2 year warranty so I purchased their Marine battery and afterwards found out they also make the sealed Blue top batteries. I believe the Walmart battery cost a little over $100. Grutus

:shock: Edson makes three knobs so my question is which one do you use and which one do I want. thanks, Grutus

:D I only have one suggestion for you and that is to get everything ready the day before and then check everything the next day before u leave. :roll:

The inspection hatch on my 1800cc leaked and I replaced the rubber gasket and it still leaked but not as bad as before. I used a Turkey baster to slowly put water on the hatch to see exactly where on the hatch the water was entering into the bilge. Good luck in fixing the leak. Grutus

I have a 1998 1800 with a Yamaha 2 stroke 115hp engine and I paid $8,500 for it two years ago. My friend said he bought it in Florida and bought it to San Diego,CA. I know that I got a great deal on the boat because one of the guys in my fishing club had one for sale for $19,000.

Have you watched any of the YouTube videos? because they with help you adjust your fish finder. Grutus

:D I hope Classic Parker members answer your questions because I look at my trailer in my front yard on wonder how I could make some upgrades while keeping the boat on the trailer. :roll: Grutus

DID YOU INSTAL THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE BOW OR DID THE BOAT COME WITH IT THAT WAY? THANKS :D

I have the same problem and I first replaced the fuel vent and that worked for a couple of times and then had the same problem again and what worked for me is in California they have a plastic/rubber covering on the fuel hose so the vapors do not escape so I just use the fuel cover that screws...

Get a soft sided (kill bag) for the bow and I use two 5 day coleman coolers for the stern and then add ice to the kill bag as needed. I keep ice in one cooler and food in the other and this really works will for me.
