    Trim Tabs on 1989 21 Parker/ souwester mod v

    I apprecaite the words of wisdom. I was hoping that the top of the ram would be mounted as to where the wire would actually enter/exit through the two battery battery compartments in the rear corners of the boat. Is that going to be possible ?

    Trim Tabs on 1989 21 Parker/ souwester mod v

    I know I should have installed them years ago but I have finally decided to install tabs on my 21 mod v Parker. I have decided to go with Lenco. Now I need to decide what size. I read all through the archives but most of the tab topics are about larger 25 fts. Any suggestions on what size...

    Rear Box Lids? How to you keep them from blowing out?

    Bungees on mine as well right now - and I hate it. Rediculious. If the good lord is willing come this winter I am going to cut that lip down to just above flush and install a piano hinge on the port and starboard sides.

    outboard bracket

    I am seriously considering enclosing my cut out transom and installing a bracket on my 1989 21 ft. cc. I have just begun my research and have not yet called Parker to speak with an engineer. I am sure this subject has been discussed here before but does anyone have any experience with...

    What new model would you like to see Parker make?

    Parker need to take thier 25 hull or the big 28 hull and make it into an express boat with a tower so that it looks like one of the Carolina built boats. The hull needs to be any color the customer wants.

    What new model would you like to see Parker make?

    This is what I want. Pretty much a boat that is already made but I need to do a lot of modifications to make it the boat I want. 23 CC DV or a 25 CC DV Then build a cabin that is no higher than the top of the gunnel. This cabin only needs come back about 4-6 ft - just so you have some dry...

    Saturday at Harkers Island NC

    My oldest son Alban and I splashed the boat at 6 am in a steady down pour of rain. We donned our rain gear and set off to go offshore bottom fishing. A little to bumpy so we stayed in shore and beat out a limit of Spanish mackerel all the while filling the live well with bluefish. We found...

    Boat Wax- On the inside

    I have been using Collinite fleetwax on the hull, console, and engine for three years. Very good product and I highly reccommend it. Now I want to wax the interior surfaces of my boat. I use Woody wax on my T top, leaning post and other brightwork. On the bottle it tells how you can...

    I saw a new Parker on the water at Cape Lookout this past Sunday. It had a ice blue hull and I could see the new chrome Parker on the side. It looked really nice.

    New 2" ID Diameter Scupper Drain Tubes

    Dale Thanks for the reply. I got to thinking more about how you did the install ( after I posted ) and it began to dawn on me that what you did was 100 % water proof with no way for water to enter the core of the boat. Now that I understand the process and know a first class vs a cheap way...
