Hey Parker People!
I am the owner of an 07 1801, looking at moving up for next year. My daughter will be old enough to come out and enjoy it with me, which means my wife will be coming a bunch too! Anyhow, they like the idea of a cabin a whole lot. I found a 2006 23 WA I want to check out that checks all the fishing/family boxes for me, and I would like to stay with Parker.
My issue is that the 250 Yamaha 4S hanging off the back apparently had the corrosion issue. Dealer says the exhaust leg has been replaced. Obviously I'm going to ask for the service records, but what else should I be looking for when I check out the engine? Can the corrosion issue cause major problems elsewhere? I know my 115 4S pretty well, but I'm not a mechanic. I do the filters and fluids, winterization, spark plugs, etc, but anything past that I have the shop do. So, what am I looking for? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
