I second that suggestion. An overhead grab rail was a factory option on my Osprey and I'm glad I got it.

The second station (in my case, on the back of the pilothouse) has turned out to be the best option I put on my boat. and I don't even fish. Extremely valuable for docking or side-tow operations. If I recall correctly, Parker includes engine start and stop pushbuttons on the second station which...

Just got off the phone with Robin Parker (enroute back to Beaufort), who asked that I post the following request: First: Rep. Arthur Williams from Beaufort County, who authored H2167, and who stood steadfast while being hammered by Governor Easley and Speaker Hackney et. al., took a lot of...

The Governor's veto was overridden, 92-7 HOUSE, 39-0 SENATE To all you Parker owners (NC and otherwise) who helped to support this, THANKS! Y'all should be proud that Boat Girl (and family) was one of the STRONGEST supporters of this legislation.

You may already know Gov. Easley vetoed House Bill 2167 yesterday, the bill that would have allowed boats up to 9'6" wide to be towed 7x24 without permits. Please take the time to contact your elected Representatives and Senators - in particular Speaker of the House Joe Hackney - and ask that...

Looks like a good problem to have! :D

Call the Governor's office today and ask then to support House Bill 2167 AND DO NOT VETO IT. This bill has passed through both the House and Senate with a minimum of 91% support at every vote...and the Governor still threatens to veto the bill, even AFTER lowering the maximum width from 10" to...

Bump!

Just did my own, with a phone call to Easley's office to follow.....

The latest news is that Gov. Easley has stated that he will veto House Bill 2167, the bill that is now our chance to get towing 24/7 for boats up to 120" wide. Please contact his office by mail, email, FAX, or phone as soon as possible and ask him SUPPORT AND DO NOT VETO HOUSE BILL 2167...

Thanks Kevin!

Absolutely! Just click on the link in Boat Girl's post and fill in the blanks. For those who previously did one of the automatic email letters re: NC boat towing, PLEASE DO THIS ONE TOO! Gov. Easley and our legislators need to be reminded that we as trailer boaters are not a small niche...

I had a similar problem on my boat, due to some steel shavings from drilling a hole in the boathouse roof beam to mount a light. Stupid me! "The Works" rust stain remover (green bottle, not just green label) worked pretty good. "The Works" tub and shower cleaner (white bottle with green label...

I gotta get on here on CP more often! Ditto about being cooler in the pilothouse than under a bimini. With the windows open on all four sides plus a 12V fan it is very livable except when there's no breeze. Frequently, I get asked about if it is hot in the PH. My response: "What would you...

Steve, I have the ACR RCL-75 mounted on top of my PH roof. It is not glare free, but part of that is due to the upturned bow. (Should be much less of a problem on a Parker due to the nonskid cuddy roof and the lower bow). One advantage of PH roof mounting is that it's possible to aim the...
