    Batteries

    So I have a dumb question and I know there are people on here that are knowledgeable about all things Parker and 12-volt systems. I currently have two cranking batteries on my boat (21 Parker SE) model 24M3. First question I have seen 24M3 - 24M5 and 24M7 - is there an actual difference or...

    Suzuki Outboard Repower

    So I have a 2001 Yamaha 150HPDI on my 21SE with around 600 hours. Motor is starting to cost me serious money in maintenance/repairs and I have looked into repowering with a Suzuki 150 or 175 four stroke. The four cylinder motor should give me better gas consumption and obviously eliminates the...

    Parker delivers!

    The run of great fishing has continued another week for me on the bay. I fished three days May 12/13/ & 15, had a nice run of 24-28" fish Thursday, some good quality fish on Friday in the rain and put my friend Rachel on three fish over 30 including this 35" fish, total of 5 overs that day and...

    GAME ON!

    I had the best 48 hours of fishing I have had in a loooong time. Fished Sunday with a good buddy in rough conditions and pouring rain all day. Had double hook ups non-stop. Only time I actually counted was on a 1/4 mile drift where we landed 30 fish biggest at 35". It was non-stop lights out...

    Measurement of Drain Tube

    Does anyone know the diameter of the drain for the livewell on the center consoles? I am too far from my boat at the moment to go measure and need to order a new drain tube. Thx guys!

    Custom Sport Trailer for my 21 SE

    When I bought my boat it was in rough shape and the trailer (a galv EZ Loader) was even worse. Years of neglect led to about $900 in repairs and I got a season of use out of the trailer. Two months ago, on a dawn patrol fishing trip, one of the axels went and I was looking at $1600 in repairs...

    Replacement Marine Battery

    I have an older 21 Parker SE with a 2001 150 Yamaha outboard - I am looking to replace my batteries - I run 2 fish finders, structurescan and a VHF and fish at night often - and run LEDs which don't pull much power. I am thinking Optimas - which ones or what batteries should I replace the...

    Motor Height - Q for 21 SE Owners

    So after much discussion regarding props and motor height, I am starting with the proper engine height to try and get more rpm out of my 2001 150 Yamaha HPDI motor (currently 4800 WOT turning a 15 x17 OEM black stainless prop). The motor should spin up to 5600. There are four upper...

    Plan B saves the day

    I just came back from 4 days of fishing the CBBT in Virginia Beach. Tough going at the mouth of the bay and all I can chalk it up to is it being unseasonably warm, I was in shorts 2 of the days, and the stripers (rocfish) have not migrated as they typically do this time of the year. Fished...

    Rounding out the electronics

    I have slowly been getting an 11 year old 21SE back into shape after years of neglect. I added an electronics box without the cut-out so I could flush mount the electronics. The boat had a serviceable Lowrance HDS5 Gen 1 unit and since i am on a budget in it went. I made the cut out next to...

    Dumb Question

    O. - on my 2001 150 HPDI there is a thin wire that comes up from just above the lower unit (I think its some type of ground wire) mostly covered by a plastic clam shell peice of trim and it attaches about 8 inches up on the back of the motor just above the lower unit. What is it? Mine...

    Throwing love and $$ at an older 21 SE

    I recently bought a 2001 21' SE after fishing for years on my buddies identical guide boat in the Chesapeake. The boat was fairly rough cosmetically, lots of minor issues in my book. Had to replace O2 sensor in motor and re-do most of the trailer, wheels, brakes, and replace the surge...

    Relocating Batteries

    I am possibly going overboard but had several questions. I am thinking of relocating the batteries from the stern compartments in a 21SE to the console. While doing this I am adding a second switch panel to the new electronics box I just added. Long story short, while I am in there, I think...
