Hello Gentelmen, I was wonder if you could guide me in the best way to fix a rub rail that is damaged. Heavy winds, and a poorly placed fender has left my starboard rub rail chewed up and disloged on a section about 1.5 feet. I haven't mentioned it to my insurance company, but will do so at...

Thanks Tim. Do you know if they make one just for Parkers? Tom (former USCG)

Can anybody point me in the direction of a boat cover for my 23' Pilot House? Thanks. Tom

I purchased that very set up in 2004. Boat is powered fine, or at least I think so. I cruise @ 25 mph. Boat can do 30 mph. Hope that helps. Tom

Thanks Dale, Quick question. How in Gods name do you know so much about each and every problem? I'll have to print that out and go by the numbers. Thanks again! Tom

Hello Gentlemen, I own a 2004 2320 with Hydraulic Steering. The other day while doing working on the motor, I went to turn the wheel, and it was frozen in its position. When I applied a little force I heard a snap. The motor would turn in only one direction and not the other. I opened the...

I went to a sign shop and had vinyl lettering made up. The owner of the sign shop suggested a black outline, and green inner letters. Spacing the green over the black was the trickyest, but doable. Similiar to Puddleduck's lay out. Mine says "Caitlin Elizabeth" with Shamrocks on each side. I...

Hello Kevin, Thanks for the information on the 10 micro filter, and Ringfree. My Yamaha mechanic did mention that 87 octane is sufficient, and 89 if that was all that was available. Now for the twist, I have a 1990 115 hp Johnson outboard I use for my clam boat. My OMC mechanic (different...

Hello Gentlemen, I own a 2004 200 HPDI Yamaha. I have been hearing conflicting stories about which octane to use. I moor my boat at Mt. Sinai Harbor on Long Island, and have access to ValveTech high octane fuel @ Ralphs Fishing Station. Last year I ran 87 Octane with no problems. I was told...

I own a 2004 Parker 23' P House with a 200 Hpdi Yamaha. To date, no problems. Good fuel economy. I cruise at 23 mph, which is comfortable for me. Boat will do 30 to 34 mph pegged. Anthony at WhiteWater advised me to get the 200hp, and I'm glad he did. The 250's from what I understand were loaded...

Thanks for the information Kevin. It just so happens that while I was making the rounds today I was able to speak with my Yamaha Mechanic. He told be to remove the prop and run in forward as only 4 cyclinders run on the HPDI while in neautral. When in forward all 6 run. He did stress Stablizer...

Hello Gentlemen, I was searching the site for some ideas on winterizing my 200 HPDI Yamaha, however I was unable to locate any. I was in a marine store today and the clerk said that locals were filling the fuel filter with 2 cycle oil, mystery oil, and stabilizer. Any of you guys have some...

Daniel & Hale, Thanks for taking the time to go over those things. I posted a reply " Boy do I feel like a Jerk" , which describes how I corrected the problem. So far the site has been very helpful for me, and I plan on recommending it to anyone who owns a Parker. Take care...

Hello Gentlemen, Well I was able to square away my lighting problem. After cleaning my 40 AMP Buss fuses, I was still left with my running, and spreader lights not working. Turns out that the festoon light bulbs on the red & green lights were corroded. With both lights out, I thought it was...

Hello All, I don't believe I introduced myself or my boat, the "Caitlin Elizabeth" properly. She is named after my 5 year old daughter Caitlin. My son Michael was not to pleased with the name seection, and lets me know on a regular basis. I'm a NYC Fireman assigned to Engine Co 326...

Thanks for getting me through the picture attachment application. Just posted my old clam boat. 18' Pickerell Garvey, with a 1990 115 Johnson & 1995 Float-on Trailer. Just had my son Michael out on it in April to dig a half bussel of Great South Bay clams. I'm going to miss the old girl. My wife...

Hello Gentlemen, I'm looking to attach a flag mast to my rocket launcher. There is an open bracket in the center where a third spreader light would go. I noticed a mast attached to one of the other boats on the forum. If anyone know of a place to buy, or someone who fabracates them, I sure...

Thanks Dale, I just stored it in my favorates, as I'm sure I'll be going back to it from time to time

Thanks Dale, I was out there today and was messing around with the stern combo anchor light. Looked to see if there was any corrosion. While doing that I broke one of the lights. I called West Marine to inquire about the lights, and when the tech asked for a # off side light, I touched it...
