    Do I need a buyers broker to buy a PH?

    I disagree. The seller's broker is just that - the seller's broker. He has a fiduciary duty to his client. He has no duty to you. He isn't necessarily out to screw you, but don't expect him to "have your best interest at heart." To answer your question, no you do not need a buyer's broker...

    Parker price?

    FWIW, I understand that prices for used Parkers are higher on the Left Coast than on the East Coast.

    Parker Cleaning product questions

    I have a 2015 1801. My deck is painted nonskid. It collects more dirt than a 7 year old boy on a dirt playground. The only way I've been able to get it clean is Soft Scrub with bleach. Squirt it on, spread with a deck brush, let it sit, then scrub with a stiff deck brush. Rinse and (usually) repeat.

    Winterize raw water washdown / livewell pump

    What warthog said... I have the same arrangement on my 1801. The bait well pump is self draining (like the outboard). I remove the cap from the wash down fitting, run the pump long enough to get air, then turn it off. Remove the screen from the wash down pump filter and let it drain completely...

    Help with windows for a 2520

    Not sure who made the windows for that boat, probably Taylor Made. Doesn't matter, though, because the original window manufacturer no longer has the pattern. I'm a marine surveyor, have a claim on a big 2010 Sea Ray. Taylor Made just laughed when I called them.... Ocean Dynamics in Miami can...

    Parker parts sucks!

    Just so you know... this is not just a Parker issue. I'm a marine surveyor. Can't tell you how many times repair shops and owners have had this problem because parts change from year to year. A decal from 2009 is not the decal they are using now. They don't have the 2009 decals and have no idea...

    About to purchase a new 1801

    You are going to love the 1801. I bought mine new 8 years ago. I fish it a lot. But it's just me most of the time... It is not a 4 person boat for anything but short cruises.

    Swapping out the Plow Anchor for a Danforth

    Get the biggest anchor you can comfortably handle and store. Then put at least 12' of chain on it. Anchors are like fire extinguishers.... the bigger the better.

    Advice for pulling a Volvo Penta 5.7 with rusty oil pan

    How old is the engine? That determines how much you want to spend on it. Not sure about how much room it takes... Definitely replace all the engine mounts. And yes you will need to do an alignment. If this is an old engine and you plan to keep it a while, replace all the fuel hoses. Replace...

    What makes fuel tanks fail?

    Yes. I will disagree. Most often it happens from the outside. I'm a marine surveyor and have seen a number of tanks that corroded from the inside out. Caused by "water" standing in the corners. Only a little pinhole on the outside. Then you cut the tank open and extensive corrosion inside.

    Where to buy 1801 covers and cushions

    Someone will almost certainly know where Parker is currently having cushions made. Worst case, any local cavas shop can make those for you.

    Trolling motor for 1801?

    I've had a MinnKota Ulterra 80# 60" 24 V on my boat for 5 plus years. Love it. I wouldn't be without the self stowing feature. I've never had a problem with mine. And spot lock is well worth the money.

    My Boston Based 1801

    No.... you can clean the tank if it is just dirty. If it is leaking you need to replace the tank.

    Boat For Sale 2012 - 1801 For Sale

    Well, you asked. Sounds like a lot of money for an 11 year old boat. Basically no options. Everything except the plotters is standard. NADA comes out to about $24,000. Where is the boat? That might generate some interest.

    1801 owners and former owners PLEASE RESPOND

    Gary S, The trolling motor is a pretty easy add. I HIGHLY recommend that you put the batteries in the center console, NOT the small aft lockers. Much better for your CG. And before you decide exactly how you want it mounted, consider whether your boat naturally runs with a port list or a...
