Thank you. Yes, Perko makes the exact replacement and in comes in a package of 2 (1st one lasted 20 years). Interestingly, when went to West Marine and they had the package for like $20 something, I showed them an online price that was around $12 and they stated they would match Amazon. Ended up...

Plastic latch finally broke off on one side. Hoping a replacement is a common part to find. Thanks in advance for any responses. Regards,

What do other folks use for an anchor on their 1801? I have an FX-7 Fortress that worked well in Florida but does not grab well in the Savannah, Ga inshore bottom. Even with a heavier chain it still does not work well. I'm assuming the anchor locker is set up for a fluke style anchor but I...

Inshore Chaser - Thank you for the assist. Taco lights are in and the TM wiring completed (except for the Battery Tender plug). I'm thinking of going with the MotorGuide XI5 for my Parker as you have done. I was originally set on using the Minn Kota since I have a bad back and it had the lift...

OK, sorry if I am not following the correct thread for this issue. Based on previous threads and great advice from members, have run the trolling motor wiring, determined location in console of batteries, charger and breaker. Next step is to deal with bow rail and light. Bow light will be...

Thanks guys for the replies. windknotnc, those pictures provide me with some good food for thought on battery placement and protecting them with a box. Interestingly, I have speakers installed in the corners of the front face of the seating wall (as opposed to the sides like you have). There is...

Thank you for the information and pictures. One item regarding the placement of the 2 TM batteries - is there any reason to not put them as far forward as possible, under the fwd seat hatch (in front of the console)? I was thinking that would both ease access to the batteries & wiring (under...

Planning a TM on a 2001 1801. Have already run a snake from the fuel inspection plate on floor, up the fuel fill casing to the underside of the gunnel. Next is to get from the under seat area (in front of the center console) where I plan to put the batteries, to the fuel inspection plate. Would...

Can you suggest a specific tilt helm (part number ideal) that will be a direct replacement? Steering cables appear to be original (2001 Parker 1801). Thanks for advice and assistance.

Wanted: Clear windshield for 2001 Parker 1801. Want to replace the tinted anti-glare one. Appreciate any leads on where to buy one. Thank you.

Yesterday went and stood/measured and in fact the steering wheel extends 4" aft of the console, right into my belly. It certainly looks like moving the steering helm 2-4" forward will help considerably. But what about the existing hole in the console? Any others attempted a repair like this? My...

On 2001 Parker 1801, How difficult is it to move the seat/livewell section back about 6" in order to increase the distance between the center console and the seat/livewell? Appreciate any help or a link to a previous modification.

Just purchased the 2001 model 1801 and so far very happy with the ride quality and space in the bow area. After a few hours on the water, I found myself unable to stand comfortably between the console and seat/livewell combo without getting a sore back (and sore feet). Ended up steering off to...
