I want to cover my front pilot house windows with some type of sun shade while I am at the dock. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have attempted to use the solar shades for car windshields; however, they don‘t fit very well. Thanks!

To all my fellow shade-tree mechanics out there I have a question. When I winterized my boat last fall I had water coming out of the tell tale while running on muffs. I started the boat last night also on muffs. Ran the boat for over 5 minutes, engine temp never went above the center mark on my...

I have a 2007 200hp 4 stroke Yamaha. I got a 'check engine' indicationon my Yamaha command Link gauge today. With the engine running and holding the 'Mode' button in for 10 seconds, I get an error code of '28'. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it? Also, how do I reset the code on the...

Okay fellow Parker owners. I have a 2007 Parker 2120 SC. I am looking for the plastic/nylon spacers that go on the slide of the spider. I have looked at the seat and the spider and I did not see any reference to a manufacturer. All I saw was reference to "REV 8". I trieed ordering them...

I have a 200hp 4 stroke. I was running it on muffs today. Muffs on lower unit plus a hose to the flush port. The water coming out of he tell tale was hot. I just replaced the theromostates. The temp gauge was indicating just lift of the center line. I ldont recall it being hot before. Is this...

Does anyone have experienced with those LED lights that go into the drain plug? I have been thinking of adding one to my Parker versus drilling holes in the hull. The price points are all over the place from the $20 range up to several hundred bucks. Any recommendations? I added blue lights to...

I have a 2007 Yamaha 200hp Four stroke (F200TXR). I noticed water coming out of a small hole on top of the thermostat housing on the starboard side of the outboard when I had the garden hose hooked up to the engine flush hose. I am thinking that a freeze plug popped out, but I am not certain...

I just hard wired two 12v fans in my V-berth. The fans originally came with cigarette lighter plugs which I cut off. I wired the fans to a new switch rated for 30amps. The fans came with a 800ma slow blow fuse. I cannot find a similar fuse to use in my fuse panel. My fuse panel uses the spade...

Any ideas on where/how I can obtain the metal spring clips for my 2007 21' SC. I tried my local dealer and 4 other Parker dealers within 100+ miles from me and I am being tod that they have been discontinued. The replacements, I am told are plastic. I bought 8 of them at $5.00(ea) but...

I just installed an AM/FM Bluetooth Stereo in my boat. Does anyone have any proven experience with and can recommend a good AM/FM Antenna? I tried a diepole antenna but it doesn't work all the great. Thanks!

Question, are there any issues mounting a battery charger in the battery boxes on my 2007 21' Parker Sport cabin? Or, should I mount it high in the bilge? Any and all recommendations are welcomed. Thanks!

I have been hearing a squeal in my yamaha 200 hp 4 stroke engine at low rpm. it sounds like a belt squeal. I know there is a timing belt, could that be loose? I have about 300 hours on the engine. can this belt be tightened? Also is it hard to replace?

Okay started my spring commissing today. Replaced theromostats and installed a new water pump. Tried starting engine; it cranks, runs for a second or two then shuts off. I have heard rumors about hydraulic lock if too much grease gets on the top of the shaft, but I can't find anything on...

I have a 2007 21' SP which sits on a 2007 Sea Lion Dual Axle TRailer. Everytime I retrieve the boat, the boat always sits high on the port side. I don't think it is a boat issue because the boat sits level when in the water. I am thinking more of a trailer issue, rollers not aligned...

Hope this makes sense....I have a 2120 Pilot house (2007 Model). I am currently installing a radar, Pathfinder SL72, and I was looking for options on where to place the display. The top of my dash is already occupied with my chartplotter and depthfined. Flush mounting in the console is not an...

I wanted to share this picture with my fellow Parker owners. We responded to this 65' yacht on Sunday 27 September 2009. The yacht ran out of fuel as it was transiting the C&D Canal and was drifting towards the rocks on the north-side of the canal as we arrived on scene. Fortunately, the...

Porkchunker, I read your post concerning the gelcoat repairs that you made on your Parker. Great job very well done. I have a couple of gouges on the hull from a mishap with my trailer. I got some gelcoat and hardner from my Parker dealer. The gouges are not deep. My question is can I use...

I currently trailer my Parker 2120 Sportcabin and have been comtemplating slipping her next year (saltwater). I think I would get more use out of the boat if it were in a slip vs. trailering. I am hesitant for two reasons: having the boat bottom-painted and the wear-and-tear of it being in a...

I am still getting used to my 2120 Sport Cabin and how she acts/reacts to certain winds and currents ,while drift fishing for fluke (a.k.a summer flounder). The last couple of times, that I have been out in the Delaware Bay, I have had a hard time getting her "dialed-in" so the lines would go...
