Hi all - Looks like I have a buyer on my 91 Parker 2110. We plan on a sea trial this weekend and assuming it performs as it should, he is planning on taking the boat. However, he is travelling about 100m to get the boat and the trailer is concerning. He is worried it will make the drive. I...

Not really a new member - just been a while between visits. I just posted my boat for sale in the classifieds and in doing so, scanned back through some old threads for memories sake. I have to say, you all were good to me. I was a total "newbie" (still not far removed) and you all helped...

All, The economy has apparently caught up with me. A recent set back at work coupled with the higher tax rates and higher insurance premiums have left me looking for ways to cut back. While not completely convinced, I keep glaring at the Parker sitting in my driveway as a potential source of...

Throwing this out there for a hopeful easy solution ............. Anyhow, about 3 months ago I had to have my water pump replaced due to a failure on the water. Engine was producing low indicator stream (basically a dribble) and the alarm went off before I noticed it. Limped to the ramp with...

Was taking part in a bow-fishing tournament (skate/rays) based out of Sea Breeze (Patuxent River) yesterday and saw a few Parkers floating around the river and up to the mouth by Solomons. Including a nice 2320/2520 floating under the Solomons Island Bridge. Got a few waves as we passed by and...

Once again, when I think everything is doing good, God mocks me ................... (in jest of course). Anyhow, went out cruising Satursday. Boat was running great. I eliminated the beeping issue previously posted about and things couldn't have been more peaceful. Did some cruising around...

Quick bit of history ............ Over the winter - I overlayed the top of my helm station with back starboard (to cover up wear/damage). In order to do this, I had to remove all the gauges. Hooking them back up became a huge PITA due in part to my lack of knowledge, poor drawings/picture...

Well, after working all winter to eliminate the "bugs" on my boat, I thought I had everything taken care of. Took advantage of busted Mem. Day weekend plans to seize an oppertunity on the water. After prepping the boat and hooking up to the truck, I went to pull out of my driveway to find that...

Trying to replace the neutral safety switch and after reading numerous posts (here and elsewhere) - I can't find a part #. I've looked at blown up diagrams showing part #'s and can't find anything. It's in an OMC throttle control and while it's discussed in numerous places, nothing gives me a...

Saturday while messing around with the boat, I had the engine cowl off and decided to attempt to adjust out some of the slack in the shift/throttle cables. As mentioned in an earlier post - my throttle (OMC) has A LOT of travel in it before actually getting the boat to move. Under the cowl, I...

Is there a way to adjust the throttle control? For example: 1. I have to push the throttle forward a good bit before the rpms move. Same in reverse. 2. Once it does move - it is very touchy making trolling challenging. 3. Docking the boat becomes tough as the throttle has to travel a...

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am replacing the spark plugs on my 2003 Evinrude 225 Bombadier motor and would also like to replace the wires as I don't know when it was last done. When googling the terms, I get numerous links concerning the plugs themselves (already purchased)...

In replacing the top portion of my helm - I had to remove the guages and remove the wiring. I took plenty of pictures and even drew a diagram showing the wiring colors/paths. However, as it always the case, you don't know what details are truley most important until you realize you didn't...

Not 100% done yet but far enough along to provide some update pics of how things are going: Priority 1 for me was to replace the switch panel as it was dated/worn and you could hardly tell what panel controlled what. In addition, things had been wired since I got the boat (FF, radio, flood...

In following to the recommedations to remove the bad fuel in my tank, I've done a bit of reading/research .......... I believe I am going to purchase a cheapo electric fuel pump from the local auto parts store and wire to a seperate 12-v battery with an inline switch (no sparks). Haven't quite...

Was a bachelor this weekend so I used the time to tinker with the boat. I decided to splash the boat on the river so I could swap out the old trailer rollers for new ones. Knocked that out in under an hour - much easier that I thought. Being that I had a couple hours to kill, my brother and...

Can any one point me to a site that will detail out changing the oil on my Evinrude. I haven't done it this year and last year it was done by a marine mechanic at the marina. I don't believe it's a very challenging task so I'd like to do it myself. I have a manual for the motor but it's on...

I have an older Powerwinch (I believe a 912 model) that utilizes a cable for winching. This past summer, I became increasingly concerned about the amount of tension placed on this cable during loading and began to worry about the possibility of this cable one day simply snapping and removing my...

Tried searching for some pics but had no luck. Has anyone overlayed starboard on their helm on the flat panel that holds their gauges? On my boat, I have a flat veritical face to which the steering wheel is mounted. From there, it is angled back at approximately 45-degress towards the front...
