Anyone running a DF 150A BG Zuki with flyby wiring ? I was interested in the 140, but it’s not enough motor given the displacement is the same as the 115. I’d like a better cruise and more torque for when boat loaded down. The question is, the 150 is 529lbs, might as well buy the 200 since...

Hello, I have been posting my build in a different thread however I feel it’s probably better to start my own and post pictures and updates to anyone interested, may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I figured I’d share because down the line you never know if someone can find this useful for a...

Hello, I have noticed some rust looking stains in the bilge that come from the port side. I clean them up and they return. Never paid much attention to it. I stumbled over a post that got me concerned. I also have been over inspecting any cracks or areas where water can get into the core...

Hello, I was getting the Parker ready for the 2023 season and swapping out the water fuel separator and noticed large cracks through the gelcoat on the bulbs pump mounting pad. I started investigating and the glass and gelcoat peeled right off. Without thinking about it much I started to worry...

Just wondering if anyone has repowered their 1801 or 1800s with 150hp outboard. I am starting to look into replacing my F115 with a newer 4stroke motor. I was looking at the DF140a from Suzuki, it has lean burn tech, and is the same block as the 115. Same displacement, just with upgraded ecu...

was wondering if anyone could shed some light on resealing my transom engine through bolts the correct way. I recently moved my motor up a hole as the motor looked a bit low and the AC plate was subsurface while on plane. while doing the adjustment I used an old trick by placing a few blocks of...

Ongoing bottom paint removal gelcoat restore has been a bit tedious and patch work has been kicking my ass. The gelcoat voids are time consuming and take a lot of work to get them flush and polished back. My boat is not wet slipped so have been going back and forth with the idea of topside paint...

What do you guys think of this repair I did. It’s not perfect but I spoke to a few pros and they say that matching gelcoat is very very hard. I’m a bit puzzled bc the Cecil gelcoat cured lighterthan my 2004 hull. Figured it would have been the other way around.

Looking for any opinions or suggestions on a cheap air compressor capable of handling spraying gelcoat. Would a 20g compressor be capable of laying down gelcoat ?

In the process of removing ablative bottom paint on my 2004 Parker 1801 and have discovered a strange issue with the gelcoat almost like divots where the top of the scum line under ablative paint appeared as I carefully wet sanded through. I took an area up from 240-1200 then quickly cut it to...

Hello, Finally decided to take the plunge and remove my bottom paint on my 1801. The boat had the bottom painted when I purchased it, in my opinion it’s quite ugly and since I only trailer and do not wet slip it’s not entirely needed. I started with the pressure washer and turbo nozzle and it...

Hey all, I am contemplating running a jackplate on my 1801. Thus far, I have been playing around with optimizing the outboard height as the AC plate was buried below the surface pretty good from the stock mounting holes from Parker on the 1801. I brought the engine all the way on its bracket on...

Anyone running this prop on there 1800 1801 Parker? It’s supposed to be designed for 75-115hp motors, 4 blade vented prop with good rake and cupping. I’m currently running an scd4 in 16p looking to try the Mercury 4 blade.

I was wondering if there is anyone that has added a jack plate on their 1801 transom. I am considering doing this to add some setback for 2 reasons, one the anticavitation plate is still buried with current mounting setting on bracket, (3rd hole from top or second from bottom) and second for...

Ordered a Uflex Hytech 1.0 kit with the nylon hoses and compression fittings. I spoke with the engineers at Uflex and they strongly recommend using the 1500psi flexible hoses in high traffic areas as the nylon 1000psi 3/8 hose is prone to kinking. I am unable to find any information on previous...

Interested in selling my 2004 Parker 1801 with Yamaha F115. Boat is immaculate and needs nothing. Boat was purchased in 2017 and has been gone through. Since purchase, I have updated the fish finder unit, and cleaned it up nicely. Lower unit seals redone as well as water pump, t stat, fuel...

Should a 2004 Parker with 115 4S let water in through the scuppers at rest in water with no added weight or people in boat? Essentially should there be any pooling ? Are scuppers below waterline, or is the boat waterlogged and sagging in water??

Hello, I’m new to the forum! I have been searching high and low for a used Parker 1801 for the last few months. I missed a few good sale opportunities due to lack of funds, however after selling my previous boat I can now shop in a competitive market for Parker’s in the early to mid 2000s year...
