    23SE w/ Yamaha F200- PROPS????

    Ended up with a Solas Rubex 4blade instead of the Rev 4.... Performance being key factor. Solas gave me better hole shot, better cruise rpms, and overall better speed. Only drawback is it's harder to steer while cruising, and when in reverse, it throws water pretty hard back into the boat. Who...

    Looking to braid eyes in dock lines - MegaBraid II

    check with a local commercial fishing/marine supply house...not West Marine, or the other weekend warrior marine suppliers... I'm talking the reel deal...Usually there's a leather neck that'll do it on the side for a few dollars each. Or check with a sailboat supply house...those guys know rope!

    23SE w/ Yamaha F200- PROPS????

    Hadn't made a decision yet....working with Prop Gods to try the Rev 4 17pitch 14 5/8 4blade next week. If I'm happy with the performance, I won't even try the Mirage Plus.

    23SE w/ Yamaha F200- PROPS????

    Actually looking at going to a 4 blade Trophy from Merc, but i keep hearing good things are the Rev 4's.... Here's my stats with my current Yamaha prop... I don't get more than 5500 RPMs... At 5500 RPMS, I'm pushing 41mph At 4400RPMS, I'm cruising at 30mph At 3300 RPMs, I'm moving at about 19/20...

    23SE w/ Yamaha F200- PROPS????

    Anyone have a 23SE with an F200 that has done any playin' around with props? I currently have the standard 17pitch Black teflon that came with the boat...Looking at the Trophy Plus 4 blade, 13 3/4 x 21. I can't find any performance data on this prop. Thoughts?

    Maintenance Question .

    As far as zippers go, you can purchase a product called "zipper wax"...it's a stick type product that you rub on the zipper. Most canvas shops sell it, or dives shops sell it as well for wet suits. Works VERY well. On buttons, most canvas shops are using and recommending the new WD40 smart...

    Rail Polish Question

    Bar Keepers friend works amazing on rails. Will take that light coat of discoloration off. Then finish with Alumaguard or some kind of protectant oil.

    Jack plate on 23SE

    Installing a jack plate voids the entire hull warranty by Parker. I've emailed Robin back and forth on this a couple years ago when I was gung ho about installing one.. Sounds like your dealer may not have given you the full story. In fact, your sales person probably didn't know. I would...

    Jack plate on 23SE

    I'm actually having a Bob's Machine 4"HD jackplate installed next week. Parker does not support the installation or use of jackplates on their boats, as they will void the hull warranty. So I waited until my warranty was up to install one...I run Tampa Bay, and the flats and need that extra few...

    150 yamaha which is best

    Without a doubt go with the 4 stroke Yamaha. HPDI's a good motors, but I've heard too many horror stories about the oil injection system not doing it's job, and causing failure. My buddy had a 250HPDI with 130 hours that blew as we were heading back from Boca Grande to Tampa two years ago...

    SEACOCK OR BALLVALVE

    If you look closely, your seacock is actually a inline ball valve attached to a flange. There is no better set up than you have now, and these fittings have been used in boats for many years...Time tested.

    Transome Question

    Why not run it over the transom with 3M cable hooks, and tie downs. Mine is drilled through the transom, and 3M5400 to seal the hole, then have a SS fitting to finish it off...that's only because mine was professionally installed. I HATE drilling holes, and would sacrifice aesthetics to not...

    Note - Modifications to Parker boats

    Parker doesn't want to be held responsible for aftermarket modifications. I'm in the process of adding a jackplate to my 23SE, and Parker said it would void my hull warranty if I added one...so I waited till my warranty ran out..
