    Cross member drainage

    The trailer is a Load Rite Elite. Aluminum I-beam rails with galvanized tube crossmembers and axles. Attached are some pictures of the trailer after removing the pads. I've sanded down the rust and coated those areas with zinc paint. I don't think I'll replace the pads under the front bunks...

    Cross member drainage

    I noticed some rust underneath and along side of the pads in the middle of a couple of the cross members on my Load Rite trailer. Water drained out of the cross members when I removed the pads and connection bolts to clean and paint the rust. That got me checking the rest of the cross members...

    Transom mounted transducer on 21SE modified hull.

    I want to follow up on the rooster tail problem with my new transom mounted transducer and interference between my new and old chart plotters. Raising the new transducer until the cavitation plate on it was just above the bottom of the boat hull helped reduce but not stop the rooster tail...

    Transom mounted transducer on 21SE modified hull.

    I have a 23SE with the same thru hull transducer and a Garmin 7 inch chart plotter. I recently installed a Garmin GPS Map 1042xsv with the GT52HW-TM transom mounted transducer. I used a transom saver for mounting the new transducer. Garmin has a good guide for mounting the transducer...

    Finally upgrading electronics on 21SE, sticking with Garmin

    My 2016 23SE came with the same units. Last year the power switch started sticking and became unreliable. I upgraded to the GPSMAP® 1042xsv ( don't like the older unit's touch controls, difficult in any kind of chop) with a Garmin GT51M-TM transom mount transducer. So far I'm very happy with...

    Parker 17 / 18 CC wheel house

    I have a 2016 23 SE with a factory installed t-top. The wind shield on the console extends about a quarter of the way up to the t-top. I use the boat in the Chesapeake Bay. Late spring through mid fall, I am extremely glad for the air flowing over the wind shield. I doubt you would regret...

    Trailer side Bunks, Pros/Cons

    Had that exact scenario happen to me last fall. Luckily, no major damage to my 23SE, but the PVC pipe broke and the metal then destroyed the Parker decal but there was no gelcoat damage. I'm with Warthog5 on the washing (and waxing) issue. Overall, not sure the tradeoff would be worth it...

    Risk from these cracks

    My 2016 23SE has developed cracks where the battery box in the starboard stern meets the deck. Looks like the cracks are just in the fiberglass that seals the box to the floor and there is no threat of water getting to wood but thought I would check here for verification and best way to fix...

    23se pics

    T-Top on my 2016 23SE is a real plus. Well worth the cost. Added storage as mentioned but also a place to get out of the sun in summer and with the addition of some canvas to significantly extend the Spring and Fall seasons here in Chesapeake Bay.

    Can’t fill boat with fuel

    I had a similar problem with my 2016 23SE. I checked the vent lines for and aft of the canister and the canister itself. Air seemed to flow freely through them all. However, the run of the vent line after the canister to open air did include at a pretty significant angle bend. Thinking the...

    2120 Parker Repower Cost

    Suzuki seems to be sweeping in all over Chesapeake Bay. I see it on repowers and new boats. Only complaint after 500 hours with my 2016 Yamaha 2000 on my 23SE was the banging from prop gear lash at 600 -800 rpms which was solved by changing from stainless to an aluminum 14.5x17 prop. With two...

    Fuel vent, filter canister help

    First time poster here. I have a 2016 23SE with a 200HP Yamaha. Yesterday the tank wouldn't take gas while fueling up until I pulled the ventilation line off of the tank side of the filter canister. I imagine there is some blockage in the canister or vent. Anyone else had this problem? Any...
