I have a Yamaha F115 on my 1801 and am looking for an optimum prop for fishing - both trolling and running. Any suggestions?

While I have the boat in my shop, I thought I would install some small LED lights under the gunwales. Just enough light to keep from stumbling around in the early mornings and evenings. Has any one got a product and intensity ratings to suggest? Thanks, Mike

While servicing the engine (fuel injector and filter problem) I asked the mechanic to check my trim gauge and sender as it is NEVER correct. He found that the ring that engages the trim sender was broken and spun freely on the shaft. I have ordered the part, but have a question… How can I...

I am having Bennet tabs (M80s) Fitted to my 1801 and contemplating props for my Yamaha F115. Currently running 13-1/2 X 17 three blade SS Yamaha prop. Not especially happy with the hole shot and acceleration - especially with a couple guys, full tank of gas and the 30 gallon bait tank full. WOT...

I am considering trim tabs for my 1801 w/ Yamaha 115 4S. I have a 30 gallon recirculating live bait tank and would like to run a bit flatter, which would need about an inch of lift at the transom. Any advice on makes, model? Thanks, Mike

I have standard surge brakes on my Five Star trailer and would like to disable the reverse locking function. I have problems when I use the front hitch on the truck when moving the boat without power to the trailer. Any help appreciated.

My boat has a Uniden (DSC capable) VHF and a cheap 3' stainless whip antenna. I am replacing the whole system due to inferior performance. Antenna - I am looking at the Shakespeare 4' premium antenna (model Galaxy 5400 XP 4') on a pivoting stainless rail mount. This is supplied with a low loss...

I am limited to a 4 ft. antenna on my 1801, and would like to replace with a Digital 4 ft antenna with 4.5 Db gain. Anyone have experience with this product? Thanks.

I spent a couple weeks in Lower Baja California with friends and my Parker 1801. First fish in the boat was this 65 lb. roosterfish. We released him after the photo...

I have a Uniden VHF with DSC. It is hooked to my GPS and indicates the GPS signal is being received. I have a Shakepeare metal antenna. I cannot send receive for some reason, but don't know where to start - radio, cable, or antenna. Any help? Thanks, M

Sorry - double post.

The windshield on my boat is a bit grungy... is there a cleaner/polisher that will get it clean? Thanks Mike

I am headed to Baja in June and will be staying at a place right by the beach. I would like to moor my boat (1801) right off this beach. The launching here is across the beach and it is simply not feasible to pull the boat onto the trailer daily. I have three anchors and thought I might rig two...

I am a new Parker owner. I bought an 2000 1801 with 2002 Yamaha F115 (500 hours) in early February. I located this boat in the Philly area, had it surveyed, and drove from California to test drive and pick-up the boat. Bit of a hike to drive back to California in winter weather... but arrived...

Heading for Baja this summer. Absolutely must have a bait tank, and would prefer Parker factory model. I have the reversible seat/drybox-cooler in decent condition and could trade for part of the value to the tank/seat combo, if needed. Tanks a lot :-0 Mike

I was thinking of making a set of detachable, transom mounted bonito tubes for my 1801. My idea was to hook the RW hose to the tubes and be happy. Anyone have any experience with tubes or this type of set-up? Thanks,

I am refreshing my Parker 1801. I would like to replace the hull decals. Where can I get new ones? Thanks, Mike

With the proper maintenance, what should I expect (engine hours) from a Yamaha 115 4 stroke engine? I expect to run in fresh, brackish and salt and store the boat (1801) under cover. I have looked all over for some information and came up blank. Thanks.
