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 ?

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...

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.

I just found this on the net and did not know if had been posted here. I thought this was very interesting. http://www.soundingsonline.com/features ... om-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...

I have a 21 ft 1989 Souwester/Parker. i have a soft spot in my floor between the console and the stern. I will be making this repair this coming winter. But as I make plans I have begun to consider removing what I call the battery boxes located on each side of the boat at the stern. But...

amen

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.

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...

I cut and pasted this update on Tab Man from a post on The Hull Truth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends of Tabman, I'm Thomas and I work for Bennett Marine in the Client Service Department. We wanted to let everyone know how Tabman...

Thought you guys might like to know. I read over on the Hull Truth that Tab Man is in the hospital after suffering a brain anyurism. That is about all I know.

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...

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.

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...

Dale Help someone like me understand why you did not just drill out the screw holes and then fill them with 5200 and then insert the screws. Why the need fto drill such large holes and then refill it with an insert. And what kind of insert do you use on a project like this ?

Thanks for the tip and I have put a wax ring on my list of things to put on the boat. However I got to thinking, and maybe I am over thinking this, but how well will a wax ring hold up on the boat during the summer heat ? Will it stay firm or will it melt ?

I do have the small filter under the cowling. I am glad you mentioned that. I had no idea it was a 5 micron filter. You make a good point about my SWS being more tolerant of weaker fuels that the HPDI motors an other direct injection engines. I guess that is why some of my friends have...

I appreciate the feed back gentlemen but I am still left wondering about my first and basic question and that is Will using a 14 micron filter harm my engine when using an ethanol based fuel that has been treated with Starbright ethanol fuel treatment and ring free ?

From what I have read with ethanol you need to change filters very frequently. I don't mind doing that but I was thinking that if I changed filters often I am going to buy a cheaper filter. From what I have been told WIX and Baldwin are like MTD lawn mowers. The make all the filters and...
